Just so you know, I clicked the close button on the "get info" pict a few times, only to later realize that I'm a dumbass.

hehehe -- thanks for the laugh

any interest?

I've just been playing around with a version of Cythera that Glenn has carbonized so it runs native on MacOS X -- anyone interested in such a beast? It'd be free for registered Cythera users, of course...

Yeah, but you can't even link off-site

If we let you link off-site, people could link to slow-ass servers that would bog down the forums every time your avatar needed to be loaded in. You'll have to upload the image you want to use here.

Looks pretty much like any old snapshot of a cythera game in progress, right?

But there's something different with this one... can you figure out what it is?

Good luck -- writing an engine is extremely non-trivial.
