Thanks very much, Ed. I'm already having lots of ideas for other games, though I don't know if I want to keep making text adventures or try my hand at something with graphics. My wife is majoring in graphics design, but so far she hasn't taken any courses that would lend themselves to helping out with games. :-)
I have this dream about making a Myst-like game based on this really great old building on my college campus. It's just screaming to be the basis of an adventure game. Probably built back in the 30s or 40s and has served a variety of purposes...Bunch of trapdoors, creepy old corridors, hidden staircases, old machinery. Definitely has potential!
