Of course, mate, please do. My apologies for not seeing this sooner, I had to road-trip through the weekend for work.

Hey, Bobby. Yeah, sure, everyone’s invited. Is it ok if I send you an e-mail to discuss the details?

I would be interested in a round, if it’s alright to request to be added to the list. I think this is a great idea, thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for the comment, it’s quite an interesting opinion you have. In a good way! There is a sort of suspense filled atmosphere to the design, and it does remind me too of Asian culture. Thanks for pointing that out. Feel free to contact me via Twitter. The server guys haven’t yet fixed the problem. But they will.

I agree ‘whisper’ was a bit of juxtaposition but text is always dangerously ambiguous. This reminds me particularly of those strange messages you see written on notebooks and other random things at Korean stationary stores. It might come close to Engrish but I might like it more for that.
P.S Is that contact link working? Have an idea for you to look at.

This was a lot of fun to do, and it was great to get in as the first to play the game with Radu. Pretty happy with the way that the design turned out too!

Thanks for coming up with such an awesome idea, Radu, and for posting the progress. It’s so interesting to move through the different waves!

You got it! I was thinking the same thing!

This is insane stuff…. definitely a battle between order and chaos… but blissfully ended in a ragnarok…

Good choices on color treatment. Imho, the message “then her whisper……” sort-of agitates the equilibrium.. the type, i mean.. not really sure though!

But, this is indeed a great combination of retro, future, surreal and stuff

kudos for the excellent game of layer tennis!

Thanks, Bill! Hey, you’re welcomed to play a game if you’d like. I know I’d like to shoot a few waves with you. Might be interesting, ey?

In my defense, I wasn’t paying enough attention and instead of drops of liquid, it came out as “spermy thingies”. And slide 5 was mine, not Matt’s. So I covered my own spermy thingies. Wait, what? Hopefully, round 2 will be online next Monday, but that really all depends on the availability of other players.

This is INSANE! Love it! I hadn’t heard of Layer Tennis so I was checking that out yesterday. This is way cooler!

Really fun to read. Kudos to Matt for covering your spermy thingies in slide 5!

Any dates set for Cont.#2?

Jad, you were already on the list. I just need to get through some of the early “subscribers” but we can chat over Twitter and fit you in the calendar. I’m super stoked you want in on this little game of mine! Thanks!
