It happened to me with a game called Highways & Byways , which I write about in detail here.

I'd love to make a true point-and-click adventure in real 3D (not that fake 2D/3D). There used to be posts here - "excerpts" from a novel you have not been writing. And better yet, write more of those? Those were part of a daily writing exercise I used to do in the mornings. I loved those! And that is partly true.
