Hi Everyone!

I was finally able to post my GDC speech on Synonymy online:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_F70nNyVoo

I was too nervous to be very eloquent, but for those interested, it will be a good overview of how I came to make the game, - what inspired the idea and how I dealt with some of the development hurdles.

I'd also like to announce my new project, Iconic Passwords - a password utility website and app. 100% Free, No Ads.

Thanks for checking them both out and thanks, as always, for playing!

My very best,
- Chris
