Help some kids fiddle around with gameplay mechanics and stylistic abstractions for dozens of pages! Entirely suggestion driven so far but maybe not forever. Probably makes a lot more sense if you played Roguelikes and Dwarf Fortress and also read the MSPAs but you're pretty smart, you'll pick up on the context. I believe in you!
The minimalist roguelike ASCII style should allow for very reliable updating. Fingers crossed.
You can post suggestions in this thread if you want, too!
