Loomed
Mary Margaret has always dreamed to be a Weaver, like her dear, departed Grandmother.
Join her as she starts a new job and takes on the loom for the first time.
How fast can you weave? What do you know about the looms and weaves that make up the majority of the fabrics you interact with today? What are warps and wefts and sheds and reeds?

An adorable visual novel AND looming simulator!
I think it deserves to be ranked much better in the Robot Party Jam 2023.
Loomed was very well written and I feel I learned a little something about how different weaves produce different fabrics and how looms have evolved over time as industrial tools.
What are missing from the game are sound effects and music.
Also, I'd liked to have had multiple endings and the choice of eschewing the innovations added to the loom --- I'm missing the experience of doing it myself and appreciating those changes.
Thanks so much for your response and feedback!
I agree entirely - sounds effects and [more] music were on my list, but higher priority than that was actual branching plot where you could try out the harder weaves without any automation and feel the tradeoffs in outcomes - alas, ran out of time, but maybe some day would revisit!
Really appreciate the comment - thanks again!
