Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
I'm a professional software developer and designer (and aspiring writer!) who has been working on various independent games in my spare time for over five years.
@brandar
The two reasons for the city's name are 1) I love that movie, though in the movie the place is spelled Fhloston 2) it rhymes with Boston, the city that Flauston is loosely inspired by.
Flauston...Paradise?
Very glad to see that this is funded. I have a fondness for these games that stems from my college days many years ago. Games were forbidden, so we got around that by surreptitiously compiling either rogue or nethack in the /tmp directory, then moving them to our own /bin directory and remaining them 'vi"!
Okay, thank you Greg! Good luck, and I will continue to spread the word.
@JoeDKat
Thanks so much for pledging! To answer your questions: 1) I will be asking people individually what shipping address to use and 2) I will pay for shipping.
Hey again Greg, just giving you a heads up letting you know that I have officially backed you for $25. Congratulations on making your minimum! I have been spreading your link on some forums to try and help with the backing of your project, and hope you make more than just the minimum! Good luck, and hope to hear about my previous question soon.
Quick question before I back you, Greg: The booklet and postcard will be shipped to our address, correct? Will you be charging shipping? Hope to hear from you soon!
@Mike Prasad
You are a gentleman and a scholar. I really appreciate your help in getting the word out there!
Backed, and just posted to Twitter and GirlGamer, hope it helps! Awesome project! Makes me remember playing Moria back in the day..
@Yang Pulse
I changed the $100 reward to be your name/ ink at the bottom of the home page.
I would be much more willing to donate the $100 if we got a link on the frontpage/homepage of the site, instead of just a "Very Special Thanks" on the community thanks page.
