Prologue — still can’t beat the deadline

A game about being in an office.. of ninjas!!

Multiplatform support, multiplayer networking, a 3 (occasionally 2, but usually 1) man development team and a very short project deadline; this was clearly one of the most challenging projects…

I am responsible for both the server side architecture and the client-server messaging protocols. Lemuel is in charge of the client side engine. And Jeryl is responsible for the art…
