Well, that&rsquo;s not quite accurate. My job is recovering the world as it was in the age of sail.</p> <p>For the past year my job at RRCHNM has been to write my own game, <a href="https://1812shipping.rrchnm.org/">&ldquo;Learning the Ropes&rdquo;</a>, using a free, open-source program called <a href="https://twinery.org/">Twine</a>. The platform allows users to write create-your-own-adventure-style text-based games using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Before pitching my own game, I spent a year revising another Twine game: <a href="https://jmotis.github.io/GamingtheGreatPlague">&ldquo;Gaming the Great Plague&rdquo;</a>. These are a part of the <a href="https://games.rrchnm.org/">RRCHNM Games</a> project.</p>
