<p>Haruki Murakami has mentioned how he wrote his first couple of novels at the kitchen counter at night after closing shop at the jazz club.</p>

<p>I had a sudden urge to make a game about a wizard who stays at a hotel in the mountains in Japan. Simple graphics like in a <a href="http://distractionware.com/blog/">Terry Cavanagh</a> game, and obtuse controls like using the <a href="http://www.vim.org/">VIM text editor</a>. I was gonna use <a href="https://love2d.org/">Love2D</a> and <a href="https://www.lua.org/">Lua</a>, since they’re simple, but the syntax was so foreign to me that it actually took far more time than I wanted. Using a tutorial, I got the map drawn, and I painted some graphics in Photoshop, so I have more to use for a later version.</p>
