News VI: Fires of Rumorcon

They did a profile on Emily Short:

They didn’t talk about her major contributions to Inform 7 in any detail, which, fine, interactive fiction is pretty niche and the creation of the Versu platform might seem more impressive to the layperson. But it is wild to me that they’d mention games she wrote but wouldn’t include Counterfeit Monkey, arguably her best (and best-loved) game by a recognizable margin. It might have been deliberate, though? Let people curious about her work have a treasure to discover on their own, at the risk of possibly overlooking one of the most amazing wordplay games of all time?
