Spring Thing 2016

Spring Thing is an annual festival celebrating new text-based computer games of all kinds, by all kinds of people. Everyone is welcome!

This year, there are seventeen games, spread across two categories. Authors chose whether to submit games to the Main Festival, where they are eligible for ribbon nominations and the prize pool, or the Back Garden, which opts out of ribbons and prizes but has looser entry requirements (including allowing excerpts from unfinished or commercial games).

Tangaroa Deep was awarded the Audience Choice ribbon, and The Xylophoniad was awarded the Alumni Choice ribbon.
