Okay, so we shopped in the tear. Doesn’t mean the goat isn’t still crying on the inside.<\/em><\/p>\n

Deciding that we were cocky enough to want a piece of the PAX 2010<\/a> pie, we sent the recent freeware draft of Desktop Dungeons<\/a> to their board of shadowy judgement figures. Turns out we didn’t get too far (they cited, among other reasons, a dislike for the colour purple and an all-consuming hatred of farm animals), but we’re pretty damn sure that we’ll have a little more luck when we shove our commercial reboot down the IGF’s throat a little later.<\/p>\n
