Very upset that queue.peek() throws if the queue is empty. Shouldn't it be fine? We're just peeking. Just a peek. Crack open the lid, take a look inside, oops it is a void of nothingness, there goes reality forever.
Maybe .peek should return null, and not rend the walls of the real.

It'd mean the world to me if you spread this around so ppl know! Thanks!

Some Canadian developer pulls a name out of a hat and 20 years later here I am still rather chuffed to be flying out of gate N7. Feels like the Shepard thing to do.

Excited about this game, I hope it takes off. The demo is available on steam. There's an interesting story here, the art is top shelf, and it's all incredibly charming. Not a dungeon crawl, but still. If you want more great stories from under represented cultures: www.kickstarter.com/projects/hum...
