  Thanks Greg! It’s been a while hasn’t it.

  I wore a suit yesterday and was going to try and take my friends out to lunch. However, with the flooding in Duvall I never ended up going to work. So I sat at home and wrote code at the kitchen table in my nice suit and tie… *sigh*

  Congrats, Mike! Already beat it, too short! Will have to go through on a harder difficulty. Great job!

  Too short is right! That’s why it’s only Chapter 1. You’ll be getting Chapter 2 (for free) in a little while with lots of more fun levels.

  Windows and Mac only? No love for Linux? Damn :\

  Love for Linux? Yes! I developed it on Linux and ported it to Windows and PC. Money on Linux? No 🙁 If someone wants to do the port (I promise it WOULD NOT BE HARD) I will give you part of the royalties (just like I did with my awesome Mac Porting Friend). And if someone wants to do the port and then give it away on Linux for free… I’ll do that too!

  Damn, if I wasn’t so full of work right now I’d absolutely do the port 😛 it’d be an awesome way to get some experience.

  I’ll bookmark this around, and let you know as soon as I get some free time 🙂

  BTW, is there any Wine version reported to run the game? Mine (1.1.12) doesn’t even load the menu.

  Not to my knowledge. Sorry.

  Working hard on it right now. I have some pretty fun ideas in the works so hopefully it will be better than the first episode in every way.

  Thanks!

  Seriously well worth the money. Great job so far. For future chapters, are we going to start off with what we’ve already gained, or do we start over?

  You’ll just have to wait and see. ^_^

  Yay! Caster 2 is coming out. The first one was so awsome; the gameplay and graphical detail is amazing so you can bet I’m going to purchase the second one ASAP 🙂

  P.S. Thanks elecorn for making an awsome game. Your creation is one of the best, if not the best. So keep up the great work 😉

  Hey thx for a great game!! I played it on my friends computer, came home and got it right away!! Gameplay is awesome and graphics are really good

  Just wondering if we could get a date for chapter 2 release? Moving next week and getting new computer so I won’t want to lose this

  Glad you liked the game Kingston! I’ve just finished the next episode (only contains three missions but more are on the way). I will release for iPhone soon and then for PC shortly after that. Then a Mac and Linux update.

  If you’re worried about losing the game data, just copy it somewhere to back it up. There is no DRM, so you can install it on as many machines as you like.

  Thanks for your support!
