About Jenn

Jenn is one of those people.  I have asked her for a short bio type thing, and how does she respond?  She says she leaves it to me, that whatever I want to say about her will be fine.  Ha!  Sure, I know lots about her, but how is she going to be reviewing games for the SBIR website?  God only knows.  I bet she doesn't even know, which is why she wanted me to write this.  Cop-out.

Seriously, folks, Jenn is a much better IF player than I (Jess) am (is).  She gets puzzles a lot better.  I remember when we were playing one adventure game type, well it had graphics, but it was essentially the same as any IF game, I've forgotten the name.  Jenn, what was the name of that game?  <After writing this, Jenn has informed me that the name of the game was "Koala Lumpur.">  About the dog or whatever from Australia, and there was this whole section underground with the lost species of dogs?  Does anyone have any clue what I'm talking about?  I think we got it from a truckload sale, where all these old and unheard-of software games were all $4.99.  Anyhow, it was in that game that Jennifer released her brilliance fully for the first time (maybe, or maybe I'm making this all up).  It was the maze.  There was one of those very traditional mazes, full of twisty little passages all alike, and the absolute only way to map it was to drop items and go back and see what connected where.  Well, at the time, I didn't even know that was how you did it.  I don't know if Jenn heard of this technique somewhere or just figured out that that was how it could be done, but she did it.  I had given up before then, I think, although she was spending much more time working on the game than I was.  I think I had a job.  Anyhow, to this very day she remains the champion of lateral thinking, trying new things, and never giving up.  At least most of the time.  She certainly did better at Trapped in a One-Room Dilly than I did.

Luckily for me, she has also agreed to be a beta-tester for my own upcoming games.

I will leave you with this quote:
