The fishermen of Puerto Morelos, on Mexico’s Caribbean coast, risk their lives every time they head out to sea to fish or dive for lobsters.

Hannah Cairo was stuck on a math problem.

Lessons from creating my first text adventure

It’s very easy to accidentally try to create too large a text adventure. My first attempt was way too ambitious, and would have taken months to finish.

I restarted one more time, from an idea that was even more pared down, and I was actually able to finish that game.
