The page would have been up on Wednesday, but it sat in its directory unshaded while I hacked out some fairly extensive adjustments to the Daedalus geometry. I’ll talk about that more when it actually pops up… which may be a couple of days, as I still have some texturing work to do. And that whole “sprucing up Am” thing. We haven’t seen it in awhile.
