Good to see the full crew back together for the news. Should be a good week
Limit Theory
There are several development videos from the early builds up until December of 2014:

Personally, if I had been one of the lower tier backers, I wouldn’t see anything to complain about; as a primarily procedural game, the source code is the most interesting part to me, and it sounds like we’ll be getting that. Although I wish we could just get the whole repo with commit history, since that might help make the source code more understandable:
It’s not a working game, and in my frenzy to get things working I’ve left huge swaths of code in a half-refactored or half-complete state. But releasing it is the least I can do.
In my mind, at least, this is the only honourable way to end an unsuccessful project that was crowd-funded: apologise, and release what you did so far. I can only hope that the community will pick up where he left off, and maybe in a few years we’ll have an open source gaming staple.
Hmm, that remote looks just like the ones to my light bulbs…
