Title: Happy Holidays from the Syrk Dev Team!
Post by: Lucika on December 23, 2010, 06:53:37 pm
We'd like to wish really, really happy holidays (merry Christmas, happy Hannukah etc. :)) to you all!

Sadly, we did not manage to release our super-secret something else before the holiday season (uh oh I just spoiled it  :nervous:) and the tabling isn't done either so I'd like to present, as a minor gift to the community, our very own WIP skybox (courtesy of Jessnec) for the Syrk system:

Once again, happy holidays to all of you. :)

Yes, it's like the devilish version of Sirius... you know, where all evil originates.  :drevil:

Wasn't it a made-up name? Made-up names, especially by non-native speakers, tend to end badly.

Any four-letter word has quite a few rhymes.

Wasn't it a made-up name?

If it was, I'm wondering 1) what's wrong with it, 2) who made it up.

Nothing's wrong with it. Just sometimes they end up sounding funny.

Yeah, but this one has quite a few rhymes that make me think about vomit every time I see it.

I agree, feels like I can stick my left hand out and touch the wall of space there. But yes, good work, bro. Sorry I couldn't test for you earlier, been a bit busy with RL as well as a few motivational issues WRT Freespace here and there - anyway! Keep it up! :)
