    commented on a project update

    Hello backers Really sorry for the radio silence, I keep putting off these updates until I feel like I have something substantial to show but I should probably fill everyone in regardless. I've been wording with Alex Krasij, a NYC Programmer/game developer who also helps run a cool game dev group in ozone park for people that want to collaborate on projects or just hang out and code. We've gotten Flywrench coded up in lua and c++ nearly to the point where it's identical to the original. I've designed around 30 extra levels at this point. Altogether it's gone much slower than originally planned due to various interruptions but I guess that just how things go... I've completed a few of the boxes and sent one out. I'll finish the others within the next couple weeks. I really appreciate the support here, sorry if anyone has felt left out of the loop. If you want to chat about it my sn is messhof/messhof@hotmail.com/messhof@gmail.com depending on the client. Mark

        Hey, Mark! Just checking in, would love to hear how Flywrench is coming. P.S. I'd settle for getting a copy of NIDHOGG instead. :) Played it at the SXSW event with Brandon Boyer, ridiculously fun game.

        A month doesn't go by that I don't get excited about this project! It's definitely still on our minds, and we'd love an update on things. NIDHOGG also looks wonderful.
