Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

Somehow our little spooky competition turned into a monster in its own right, something people have been making plans over for months.

You know who you are.

When we first started the Spooktober VN Jam 5 years ago, it was little more than a handful of entries I played by myself. The next year was too many entries for one person to read in a month. Last year in 2022, there were over 150 visual novels, with as many shortlisted submissions as we had total submissions in the first year, and over 20 of which had voice acting.

The scariest thing about Spooktober isn't even the freaking entries. It's the sheer volume of fanatics waiting to get started.

But!... I'm not judging this year and I enjoy torturing other people, so feel free to join the competition this year and help me bully Ari.

#i dont know if im participating this year yet... #ranked jams with sponsors are scary lol

A red moon shines ominously on a city shrouded in endless night. The people here don't seem to have any life left in them. Well, all except for him. A young woman looking for an escape from her dreary everyday latches onto the only man left with light in his eyes, and musters up the courage to confess her love. If only she had noticed his sharp teeth before it was too late...

Features

Around 9k words (30-45 minute playtime)

One possibly unhinged vampire love interest

5 different endings, plus one unlockable final ending

3 CGs (with variations)
