Hey everyone, I know we usually post game updates here, but I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you guys that it's Marnel's birthday today! Marnel is our lead (and only) programmer for the game right now (but we're very close to adding a new team member soon!) so he's on the front line responding to your bug reports while also working tirelessly to add new mechanics to the game. When I say tirelessly I mean it! This dude even works over the weekend, despite my warning him that he might burn out and explicitly telling him to take a break! Well today he's finally taking a break and relaxing on his birthday, so we wanted to surprise him with this post!
So if you guys have enjoyed his work on the game, please greet him a happy birthday, send him words of encouragement, or tell a friend that we're having a Flash sale of 20% off Academia here:

Sorry it's using the Humble Widget, but we can't be as flexible with sales on Steam. It does come with a Steam key though!
You can also send him a greeting via Twitter if you're feeling extra generous with your time!

If you wanna know a little bit more about Marnel (and the rest of the team) you can read his short bio here:

He also has a blog that is chock full of programmery advice, so if you're a dev thinking of working on a similar game or just wanna know more about Unity's capabilities, I highly recommend you check it out:

Thanks in advance guys, I assure you that your words of encouragement will only make him work even harder on the game!
