GAME DEVELOPMENT
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
At long last, after eight years (fourteen if we count Mr. M initial announcement of the mod), I can finally make this post.
Thank you all for your patience, contributions and warmhearted support. I hope you have as much fun playing the game as I had creating it.This game is the product of years of hard work from many people. My intention for this mod has always been to bring together the best quality pieces from the community that have somehow fallen under the radar. It all started with a lost project by Mr. M, which I fell in love with. From there things evolved quite a bit. You will come across some more, some less familiar designs that will light up. There will certainly be one or two cross-references to discover. And of course previously unseen material will be celebrated as well. There are tons of things to explore!
I look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback. In particular, let me know if you find anything in the level design that you think might benefit from. I'll take all suggestions into consideration. Please report bugs, problems, and other recommendations here. And of course I'm delighted to see recorded playthroughs, as they make my modding heart soar.

Special thanks to K1n9_Duk3, without whom none of my visions could have been realized. You didn't just go along with my nutty ideas, you constantly improved them and lifted them to a new level. And in passing, you've even improved the source code and made it way more efficient then ever!
Thanks
