Thanks all! The (currently incomplete) standalone sequel is still [available to play](https://introcomp.org/introcomp2025/SkiesOverSteelthorn/) on the Introcomp 2025 website. I am hoping to finish it next year, once my current projects are complete. If anyone has questions about either game, feel free to post them here.
