Sup groggy kings and queens!

I wrote a short (~9,000 words) free horror VN about man-eating tigers loose on a cargo ship and posted it free on Steam. Check it out if you're into nautical horror or man-eating tigers  :ThumbsUp:

QuoteThe King of Cats is a short visual novel inspired by animal horror films and Michael Crichton's classic novel, Jurassic Park.

Doctor Kemp is a millionaire wildlife biologist with a love for big cats. He just bought a litter of tigers for a unique business opportunity in Mexico. The only problem is the deal isn't exactly legal.

He assembles a team to smuggle the tigers aboard a cargo ship and escort them across the ocean. But when a storm hits early in the voyage, the tigers break free and the hunt begins. Navigate the claustrophobic corridors of a vessel with man-eating tigers on the loose. Your choices will determine who lives and who dies.

This is an approximately 9,000 word story with two major endings.

A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.
