Cyra vs My Darkness Falls Remake

I knew this time would come so I figured I'd make the post now while its fresh.  Someone who frequents the Cyra forums has found this blog and informed Cyra about it.  I'm actually surprised that it has taken this long as I the first chunk of work I did was for about 2 weeks back in January, then put on hiatus until now, with a few bits here and there.  Anyway, I have no connection to Cyra or what Vassi and Rashka are doing.  Their project has little if anything to do with mine, nor was it really a motivation either.  Last fall I did have a bit of a longing to play the game, went looking and noticed Cyra seemed inactive.  I tried a few other MUDs but like most former DFCers was disappointed.  Eventually it all passed and I went back to other endeavors.  In late December and early January I began playing the Magestorm remake, this is what inspired me to start this project.  I saw the amazing job Sorien did/was doing and realized that I could do the same with DFC.  Not only would it indulge my desire to play again, but it would also be a fantastic project that I could point towards for prospective employers.  Originally it was just a secret between myself, Niteninja and Masterpuppet and one or two Strike Force (SF) members in Magestorm.  At some point one of the SF guys told someone else about it, I can't remember who, but he didn't know I wanted it as a secret, and the word spread through the people who played Magestorm that loved DFC as well.  After that it wasn't really necessary to keep it secret, so I began infrequent posts on this blog which I had normally used for other things.  That is the story of things.

I know that some people have emailed me or replied to my posts mentioning Cyra, but anything that happens to Cyra has no bearing on my remake just as it had nothing to do with my motivation to begin.  I wish Vassi and Rashka well in their attempt.  Even if theirs goes up first and is wildly popular, which would be kinda neat, I'll still keep up with this because its something I want to do, to show that I can do it.  I guess the entire point of this post is, I don't want people to lump the two games in as competing, or as if I did this because Cyra had not released yet. I did it because it was something I wanted to do for fun.  I'm not really too familiar with how Cyra has progressed or anything about it, but I'm sure the two of them have put a great deal of work and effort into it and look forward to seeing the fruits of their labor.
