It was a rather long time before this update. But I'm hoping for something fun soon. Something new and different. We'll see what's up next in later updates :D

It's good to know that Voxatron is still pushing forward. However, I'd still like to know what's up with the Desura inclusion... :(

That is up to the developer. We would love to have them on the system but the developers have to want to be there.
