INK CONSOLE

Dear community, 🙏 Thanks to the incredible reception we've received on social media and in the press, Ink Console has gained overwhelming visibility in record time. This exposure has led to an unexpected proposal, which has prompted me to make an important decision: (1/4)

The number of emails with support and questions received is incredible. I am overwhelmed. Totally overwhelmed. We have gone from 5 emails to +50 emails a day! Please know that I am completely alone in the project at the moment and I am not able to give you a quick response. 🙏 Thanks!

Loved community: Would you consider an external, attachable mini keyboard-type module for conversational games in Ink Console? Being open source, hardware could be created for a multitude of other ideas. I love games that require entering written instructions (example image) Please, let me know
