• EekoHouse, a getting-ready-for-school simulator that teaches kids to make environmentally-conscious decisions (because, as we all know, schoolchildren are the largest contributors to climate change).
• EekoCreature, a zoology sim in which you create your own creature, choose its habitat, and watch it interact with other kids' creatures. Sadly, an [ecological disaster] (Linking to https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life-alternative.html#adobe-flash-player-eol-general-information) in 2017 caused a mass-extinction event."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3mrjblg7toe5op6fnac2bivg/bafkreifijf6czr3yilzzxcf6eswhtiz7krfcmopdsr36unafoebbr2orsm)

Apparently chimney sweeps throw themselves down the flue unannounced where they live."

With tcrf.net back in business, feel free to make all the submissions you desire by shooting me a DM on here! I'll be sure to check it out and review it for posting sooner rather than later!
okay well i was meaning to announce a change in the way i'd handle submissions and posting going forward but i think right now's probably the worst time to do so with how the site's currently doing
