Bad news, they got back to me and told me that this was all an April Fools joke. Shame.
So I recently got contacted by a games company that wishes to stay anonymous. They're from quite a few years back, competed with Nintendo and such, and recently they've wanted to reemerge into the games market. They told me themselves: they're planning to focus on marketing to a retro audience, what with the releases of things like the NES Classic and the success of nostalgia-driven kickstarted projects.
So their board members got together and brainstormed what the most 'retro' style of games is. One of them brought up text adventures, and so they went looking on the internet for prospective text adventure designers. They got in contact with me and told me to port Gineb to their console. They said it was okay for it to be half-finished, they'd market it as a Game In Progress, so I guess I can't complain.
I've looked over the paperwork they sent me and some of the other folks they've contacted, they're being pretty generous with how much they're taking out of the profits from every game. 30% to them, 70% split evenly among all content creators. I'm certainly looking forward to this, and I hope you all are as well.
Unfortunately, I'm under contract that I can't reveal when the console will come out, or even what console it'll come out on, but I'll be sure to post information once the embargo is lifted. Until then, keep an eye on the news.
