And here I was hoping we might see a non xna (mac / linux) port of Infiniminer.
I also love KOHCTPYKTOP, and would love to see a stand alone version of it as well. I hope you get over your slump and get back to making these fantastic games.

Hey Zach, I remember in Infiniminer when there were about 20 people playing. My friend and I were really happy playing with the lava physics, and we flooded an entire floor. People were mining under the lava to get to ore… making little safety shafts…
It was really fun. I actually still play Infiniminer. Making lava bridges and sculpting the rock is really relaxing; like playing with dominos.
It’s one of my top favorite games, and I really thank you for the great memories it’s given me.
I hope you don’t stress too much about how crazy people got before, and maybe you’ll come mine with me and my pals. Later.

Just wanted to add a note of encouragement. I’ve been playing Konstruktor, and I had played Alchemy in the past… and just now found out they were from the same developer. Cool stuff!
Glad you realized that you are not done making games. Don’t stop using the unique gifts God has given you. I love making games as well, and it would be a shame to let those talents and passion go to waste.

Hey Zach, if we all pitch in some money, how much would you want to make an expansion to KOHCTPYKTOP? I’d be willing to pitch in $10-20. I’d be interested in being able to make microchips to abstract out of the details and make more advanced circuits. A challenge editor and some new challenges would entertain me for months.
If you’re not willing to make an expansion to it – even for money, then could you make it open source so that other people can build expansions to it?

You made some really fun/unique games. Few games exist where you have to think.
Anyway, good luck with the future.
Hope you end up back here again.

jonJon: If you have a question about making games, feel free to ask me directly. At the moment I don’t have any plans to release the source for my other, non-Infiniminer games.

any chance of you releasing the source on some of you other games, just because you’re not making any more doesn’t mean that someone else can’t learn/build from it
