Oh cool! what studio?

I check in here about once a month or so, so you not completely gone.   

As for buying multiple copies, I don't see that option on steam, though I usually push my friends to buy from your site for obvious reasons. 

What are you up to now? I'm working on a platformer for (hopefully) release on steam, but its got a long way to go until completion.

Just want to start out by saying I love this game, and really want to encourage my friends to get it, but the $20 price tag is pretty steep for a game that basically has one mode of play.  The most common response I get when recommending this game is "looks fun, but I'm not paying $20 for it", and quite frankly comparing it to other games on steam for the same price, it just doesn't stand up.  Doom 3 is $20, Garrys Mod is $10, Morrowind GOTY is $20.  Hell even TF2 is the same price.  I want to say that Mayhem holds up against these, but I can't.  I don't know much about your finances Chris, but I think you might want to consider dropping the price to make this game available to a wider audience. 

I was just demoing the game for a friend, and decided to check in on the forums.  I haven't been playing much, but send me a message on steam if your ever up for a match.  The new map looks cool minus!   I've been busy working on a fighting game and online file storage system, so I haven't been playing much on steam recently.

I hope you don't have to get inventive with him...

I hate fires.  http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_wildfires

I'm about three blocks away from one of the evacuation areas.

Both of these suggestions are excellent and would probably save some headaches in the future.

Ok, but you can't at least answer the shock combo part?   

That contest sounds awesome! I would think the hardest part would be the pathing and aiming for the ultra-accurate guns.  You've gotta reduce the accuracy somehow, and pure randomization will give it away in a second.  Whats your method?  Also, will you let the bot go for shock combos?

The watching has taken place but nothing has been reported from the front lines sir!

(Translation: anything happening? I just finished my finals, wondering if anyone has been online.)

Watching as ordered Sir!

Just wondering what you've been doing.  I know you said you've been busy with school, but has there been any progress towards the next update?

Really theres no changes from the last version you saw, filefront shut down so I had to find a new host.

Here's my first Mayhem TC.  It was orginally going to be an april fools joke, but Chris and I both ot busy with other stuff and forgot about it.

Interesting idea.  I think that being able to pass through planets better simulates a 3d space though.  From a technical standpoint, I'm not sure how hard that would be, but I guess a modification of the rift code, combined with a change in the origin and ending points for pathing between planets would allow for it.
