Life's been busy, but this last semester is pretty easy, so I've had lots of time to work on Lemma. No time to talk about it now, but keep an eye out for a juicy trailer / alpha download soon. For now, I'll just tease you with this!
Thanks for bearing with me people. You guys rock.

Sorry about AC and, washing machine, and bed bugs.
Re: the AC, did you make sure the filter is put in the right direction? It completely chokes the flow of cold air if you put it in backwards. For that matter, have you checked if the filter needs to be replaced ('bought twice a year or the electrical costs get pretty high from overexerting itself)? Did you hose down the external mesh covering? (Kill the power supply first (!) using the local AC cutoff). An hour's hacking can save you the cost of a repairman coming out. Ofcourse, it's hard to test things if the power's out...
And it took me five minutes before I just now realized: I get to shoot stuff in Lemma and not just kick things! Excellent! Do I get to use that Russian rifle you promoted?
