> I had to hold back a huge "SQUEE!" when I opened RinkWorks and saw COATI's--excuse me, Outlaws'--logo on the main page. (Isn't it awesome?) I'm pretty proud of COATI, and I hope everyone who plays it will enjoy it.

I certainly did. I need to find time to play it again soon -- hopefully not staying up quite so late at night this time. :-)

> Anyway, there are a few parts to COATI that it might be interesting to hear the story of, so here they are in no particular order. Don't read them until after you've solved it unless you want spoilers.

*** SPOILERS ***

> * The organ grinder: I am amazed at the lengths I went to to make obscure jokes. The whole point of putting in the organ grinder location was to be able to make a reference to monkey bread. Because, you know, I'm retarded like that.

You were away (eating dinner, I think?) when I came across this part of the story, so you missed my excitement. Some of it ended up in PMs with Sam and grem, so your transcript might not show it. Anyway, I loved the reference, although you should know that TRUE monkey bread never gets a chance to go stale. ;-)

> * The leather shop: In Fleisher's Leather Goods, you can lose the game by drinking the tanning acid. The lose text includes something about the tanner making leather out of your skin. I wrote that late one night, thinking it outlandish and funny, but I found it was less weird than I thought while researching California outlaws a little while later. Apparently, there was an outlaw in the 1800's who was a big guy, and when he was hanged, his body was given to the local doctor for study. The doctor had no use for him, but thought he was a fine big fellow and shouldn't go to waste, and so gave him to the local tanner, who TANNED HIS HIDE AND MADE LEATHER GOODS FROM IT. A pair of ladies' high button boots, gloves, and a purse, to be specific. They didn't sell, but were on display for quite a while until the San Francisco fire destroyed them.

That's pretty crazy. I loved that death scene, though -- one of my favorites, in any AGL game.

> Also, all the tools in the description of the leather shop are tools found in one AGL game or another.

Next time around, remember to let me acquire the crowbar and do some serious damage with it, please. ;-)
