[2025-11-05] ZZT: Samantha's Sister Wants a Bottle of Milk Right this Second

[RT-55J]

Recent life events have transpired that may decrease the frequency of updates on this site for the foreseeable future. I personally am not too bothered by this, but I figure that those in the audience ought to be aware.

In other news, I have a new addition to the ZZT page! It's a little game called Samantha's Sister Wants a Bottle of Milk Right this Second. It's my submission to Oktrollberfest 2025, though it's very light in terms of scope. I had bigger plans, but I lost focus on them while I still had the time to put work into them. I tried making slightly smaller plans the other day, but this Plan B immediately blew up into a proper sequel in terms of scope. Thus, we have this Plan C, which I made from scratch in about a day and a half.

As for the game itself, it's effectively a prequel to Samantha Arantes Goes to the Fridge to Get a Glass of Milk, but it also elaborates on some characters and lore introduce in last year's Awful Dates Done Quick. People seem to like it, but I kinda wish I could have done just slightly more with the concept.

Anyhow, one of the boards is 21 kilobytes (above the standard limit if 20 kB), but I was testing with the modern fork "ClassicZoo" which increases that limit, so I think I accidentally trolled myself into not making a ZZT game. C'est la vie...
