   Oops, skipped a week! From my #gamedev #journal 30 years ago in 1993: Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame is in beta, my writing partner Tomi and I are breaking the story for The Last Express...

   And I get a sneak peek at an upcoming point-and-click #adventure game from the developers of Spelunx! and Cosmic Osmo 😎🗝

   Full journal up to this week in 1993 is at https://jordanmechner.com/library/#1993journals

   From my 1993 journal, 30 years ago this week: Implementing the Final Battle with Jaffar in POP2: The Shadow and the Flame, and finding inspiration for The Last Express in Rebecca West's Black Lamb and Grey Falcon. In homage, we named a character after her: the young Englishwoman and budding writer (who also keeps a journal), traveling with her French friend Sophie.

   So... I've got my 1993 "Making of The Last Express" journal all cued up to post, 30 years later. It picks up where The Making of POP ends (January 10, 1993). This time, rather than publish a book, I'll create a page at https://jordanmechner.com/library/ so #retrogaming #gamedev fans can read it free.

   Any Francophones out in the Fediverse (ideally, who've read The Making of POP) care to volunteer to translate so I can make the page bilingual? (Pro bono, like the Library.) Hit me up!
