Now that voting has closed for the 2015 IF Comp, I can talk about the other entrants…
WOW!!!
I really loved:’
Birdland by Brandan Patrick Hennessy
Very very funny, well-written, and clever.
Brain Guzzlers from Beyond by Steph Cherrywell
Ditto, but parser.
Cape by Bruno Dias
A gritty superhero origin tale.
Laid off from the Synesthesia Factory by Katherine Morayati
Parser, but the user-friendly kind that always gives you something to read. Gorgeous writing.
Ether by Mathbrush
A fantastic parser game in its own right, but also super friendly to those who are just dumb at parser. All about a world-making nautilus.
Scarlet Sails by me
A CS pirate romp (soon to be massively rewritten for CoG/HG)

Huh I think I played birdland about a week ago (the story with Bridget as MC)
Edit: and after reading past that I realised I also played cape (awesome story (kinda weird))
Edit 2: in scarlet sails can you finish without dying
I liked the Cape a lot. Mostly because I liked the engine they used.
@Felicity_Banks , 7th place is awesome! Well done, my arch-nemesis!
And great…now there’s even more (probably awesome) stuff to read. So much reading, so little time.

And I can go back to Fallout 4.
@SheaMcD Yes, but it’s unusual on the first go
I’m thrilled to be in the top ten! Especially with such great company. Every game was interesting, and the author forum rocked.
Pluggety plug:
If you liked Scarlet Sails you’ll probably like Attack of the Clockwork Army . No pirates in Clockwork Army, but in my opinion it’s a better game (and Emily Short agrees ). Also it’s steampunk, so there are still awesome outfits and ill-advised swordfights to enjoy.
And now I’m off to massively improve Scarlet Sails!
