Hello everyone.

It's been a while since I last stopped in at the forums. My personal life has been crazy-hectic over the past few years, and I now operate my own 'personal identity' so-to-speak. I stopped playing Transcendence about two years ago, maybe more, and I guess I almost forgot about the game.

I downloaded the new copy today - wow! There's so many things that have changed, I don't even know where to begin. I think I last played 1.08...it's staggering how far George and the community have come. What an amazing little game and community you have here...absolutely incredible.

I used to be a modder - I still am a programmer - and hope to resurrect my most popular mod series, Hell's Trinity, although no promises! I'm working on some other stuff at the moment and about to start my final semester at university/college. But I'd love to start up some modding again - I see Pixelfck did an awesome guide that might help me get back on my feet.

To the old guard - Wolfy, Ttech, Atarlost, awesome to see you guys are still so active here. To a bunch of new people I don't know, hello to you too!

Cheers!

ThePrivateer!

 I have absolutely no idea who you are. You stopped playing before I ever started. …Welcome back. ^.^

Of all the things I’ve lost in life, I miss my mind the least. (I’m having a lot more fun without it!)

Mischievous local moderator. She/Her pronouns.

True, some of you guys have been here since...what? Early 2000's probably. I came in during 2010, just around the 1.0 era, I think.

Anyway, thanks for welcoming me back! :D

Transcendence updates kinda seldom. About 1 stable version per 5-7 month.

Thanks! I've just been exploring the excellent expansions - Transcendence is still as hard as I remember!

Yay! Welcome back! I remember when I first played Hell's Trinity. One of the best adventures I ever played at the time.

Welcome Back!

I remember trying your Hells Trinity minigame, and then attempting to mod it so that I could play to a satisfying end, that was several years ago now.
