Explanation!

So, I decided it might be a fun exercise to blog about my experiences making this game.  Let's get this out of the way: I was in love with the game FTL for a while.  While it may have taken some work, I thought it could have been ported to mobile platforms as well.  More than that, I thought it could have been fun on a mobile device.  The joy of a fun space-based roguelike on your mobile device, what's not to love?

Almost a year ago, I reached out to the FTL creators and offered my services to do it.  I got a response, but not the response I was hoping for.  They weren't looking to expand into mobile gaming at that point, but would keep me in mind in the future.

So I waited around for them to make the game on mobile, but as I waited, it sounded less and less likely to happen.  I decided to stop waiting.  Screw it, I'll make my own game.  With blackjack - and hookers!

So that's the jist of it.  I started working on it about a month and a half ago off and on.
