Small victories!

Aside from writing, I've been looking into adding more features to my Twine projects.

I've already begun using it as a way to compress extra information on the title page for NDGA. The text that is inside the replace macro will only run after the link is clicked, so it can be used for variables BUT one issue is that if the user has the ability to go backwards in your game, variables might not save properly. There is probably some workaround to that, but even so it is a really useful tool.
