Default *TWO PEOPLE* created (most of) this game?!?

Before I go nuts all over this, I just wanted to doublecheck my facts. : )

Is my post's title true?

It was actually a team of highly coordinated sentient spiders wearing the stolen skin of two people.

But yes, I suppose.

Well that a surreal post Sombre

But yes, two people pretty much. I think Kristoffer's brother contributed a bit of content.

What amazes me even more is that Kristoffer recently posted that summer vacation is over and he has to return to work. I was able to infer that he is teacher of some sorts. So not only did he write the game, he holds a job down also.

They must have longer days in Sweden than they do in PA. Probably has something to do with the midnight sun or the tall, leggy, beautiful blondes. I'm quite a bit short on both so I really cannot figure it out on my own.

I put it down to long cold winters myself and the fact that all those tall, leggy, beautiful blondes clear off to the Mediterranean when they realise thats where the sun hides out.

I'm going to believe this theory because I went short, squat and brunette and it would be devestating to add my blonde postulation to my list of Major Errors Committed. I could deal with the midnight sun possibility because I hate the cold; in fact I've dedicated my life to make sure that I will spend eternity in a warm location.

Wow. Just...wow.

Humour aside, this is a very impressive achievement. This game is better than most games developed by teams of twenty, fourty, a hundred programmers.

Without that knowledge, Dom3 is a very good game--the first non-MMOG to keep my attention for more than a month or two, in many years.

Knowing that two people created it in their basement (figuratively speaking) somehow makes it...special.

Amazing work, Johan and Kristoffer.

...Two people. *boggle*
