IF Comp 2013 - General Wrap-up

Note: There will be spoilers on my game Coloratura, and on other games within the IF 2013 competition.

My game Coloratura won! It was a fantastic journey, and I'm happy to have gotten the chance to have played and participated. I'm delighted that others enjoyed the strange brand of madness from inside my mind. The responses were overwhelmingly positive, with reviewers enjoying the alien descriptions, the well-integrated puzzles, the creepy narrative, the unique "Coloring" mechanic, the epilogue, the intuitively simple hint system, and the meticulous attention to accurate setting. All these elements worked together in unison to create a cohesive and well-constructed final product. I'd like to take the time to thank my diligent beta testers for working testing, suggesting, floundering and helping me fully polish my work.
