It's done!
So, my dear game is finally done! It's been crazy, and when I got the idea of making a whole text-based adventure game alone in Java I thought 'well, do what you can for the Compo and call it a day'. But the Compo came and I felt like I could do much more, and indeed here it is - The Quest for the Botijo.
I encourage you all to try it when you can, and I'll write my post-mortem tomorrow since it's 2AM at my local time and tomorrow's going to be hard enough as it is. Cheers!
