What happened is that I got way too excited about the previous post on conversation systems, and ran off to make the game Diego and I were talking about in comments.

Since I’ve been gone, Stephen Lavelle went broke and people are already having the INDIE GAMES SOLD OUT conversation, but I ain’t gonna let that stop me.
