      Hey guys, do you think you could start giving us updates on when submitting themes and the voting on themes starts? There was a change to submitting that took me off guard, and I missed the voting entirely this time round!

      Maybe someone knows something about this: I am on Mac OS X (Mountain Lion) and i use an Xbox360 (wired) controller, which is correctly recognized by the system using the drivers on Tattieboogle.net . However, the Enjoy app doesn't seem to work with my gamepad. Any of you aware of any solution about this?

      The boss fight in Super Clew Land truly sucks. Terrible work.

      The site should be ready by the New Year. As for themes, we looking for concepts or short phrases. Something unexpected and cool. Like our 8-bit graphic, the best themes will be more suggestive, less literal. So more like your first four suggestions than the last.

      Creator Jonathan Barrett on December 22

      Do we have an ETA for the site to be Fully Operational? Looking forward to theme madness. Will the Themes to single things, like "Sharks", "Robots", or more detailed, "Robotic Sharks" or "Sharks Vs Robots", or silly amount of details, "Pacifist Flying Robotic Sharks with Lasers Attatched to their heads, On fire!" ?

      Thanks for getting back to me, and congratulations on the kickstarter success! I knew it was a pretty crazy to begin with, and was assuming you guys weren't. But I'll be just as happy reading the dev journal. I can't wait for the development to begin - best luck to you guys once your project starts!

    15. Me-160.small

      Creator Shaun Inman on December 13

      Thanks so much! It goes without saying but we could not have done this without you! Looks like I missed some comments during the final push. Let's do this!

      @Tarwin, Thanks for the Haxe Flixel tip. This looks *very* promising!

      @Andrew, Sorry we couldn't address your separate poster request before the Kickstarter ended. We'd like to get a proper store set up once things get rolling. We'll post an update here and on retrogamecrunch.com when we do!

      @Logan, We don't plan to release the source code but there should be lots of practical morsels in the development journal.

      Thanks again everyone!

      Well done! Having a chance to make games full time for 6 months is a dream come true for an indie game dev - I think it can be life changing - and I have no doubt you will make good use of the time. Can't wait for January!

      Creator Logan on December 12

      So... what would you guys say to somehow doing a source release with these games as well? The Humble Bundle Mojam dev's did this with their 48 hour games and released the source code alongside the game itself. I found this to be an awesome learning experience and found it amazingly entertaining to look through/tweak and learn how they did things.

      Just a thought - I know it's a big request, and I don't expect anything to come of it, but figured there wasn't really any reason not to ask.
