thanks for playing!
trees being superior to humans is just how tree-chan sees reality. since its more of a comedy game she is meant to be aloof (she is looking down on humans, quite literally, since you know - she’s a tree and she is tall).
but yeah the stuff she says about trees cooperating i do find impressive
this is a really good piece of writing. it made me adopt the same tactics as i would in a corporate workplace. i don’t care who works where, all the emails get forwarded to Caroline. issue with printing? send to Caroline. bug on the website? send to Caroline. something something i didn’t even read the email - send to Caroline. i don’t care it’s not her area, we’re buddies, we’re in this together. if i have to suffer, she suffers too.
actually, if you wanted to play a game that talks about this topic i made one last year

i’d be happy to hear what you think about it
thanks, i sometimes think of how people say “this is a flower” and “this is a weed”, even though the weed has flowers too.
you could oppose this by saying the weed is actually useful because it has medicinal qualities or something, but then you’re using the same frame of thought. instead i think its better to accept we probably dont know too much, and should just let other creatures do their thing :))
i downloaded again (what i think was) the updated build, and read the poem through to the end
i wasn’t able to understand some of the references, but with this being a personal poem i think that’s the way it’s supposed to be. i still think this is a really cool multimedia project, even to a “bystander” so again thanks for publishing it
you can download the source again now, and look for the “ascii support” section in README.md :)))))) i think that should do the trick
EDIT: ah, i didn’t have time to test it too much so if you come across any bugs let me know!
EDIT2: also mind you will have to escape some of the special characters like backslashes in each of the strings in description array, otherwise jason (json) will get angry!
EDIT3: if you play the test game here again, you can find a special chamber!
