Lol nope it's real. Years ago some people had doubts. I personally never doubted this project because I knew Kerm was dedicated. I just wasn't sure if it was possible but as Kerm skills increased I became confident he would manage to do it eventually. 3 years later, he did. Note that Omnimaga fake news are written in brown/orange text, by the way.

Yeah, I know that, but it sounded so impossible I just figured you forgot to color the text :D

Wow.

It was originally not marked fake news. Quote:

Actually Brandon is working on 1.3!

He's just not ready to release it yet :)

On the interview note, I would love to see interviews of people from the start of the community..Like Pattrick Davidson for phoenix, Joe for Ion etc...What they think of the community now (i guess many would not know), but show them some projects and see what they think...
