I'm sure he will as well, but the fact that the product still needs to be made "ready" for the Comp speaks volumes. ADRIFT 5 is still in beta, it isn't fully complete yet, there are still bugs to be fixed and features to be added. However much of an upgrade it is on V4, if any of those bugs occur when people are playing the IFComp entries, it's not going to do any favours for V5.
As it happens, Po, I just tried your game
Ghost Town with the latest version of the ADRIFT 5 Runner. The inventory command produced an error message.

And if there's an option to change the font colour from the nausea inducing green it currently is, I couldn't find it. Nor did I find an option to change the font size or change the font style. Ready for the Comp? Sorry, but no.
