Pax Aus is over, and I wanted to give everyone an update on what's going on, and what's coming next.
Mac and Linux Ports
The ports are on their way - using the amazing FNA libraries and being ported by flibit himself! Hopefully this will not only make it available to more people (and playable on more computers for everyone that already owns it), but it should fix some crash on startup, fullscreen, and other issues too! We're hoping to have the port done, tested and out in a few weeks.
Alienware FX
Alienware were kind enough to provide some laptops to demo Hacknet on at Pax, and to make it look cooler, I hooked up every theme in Hacknet, and some events to their hardware lighting system. If you have an Alienware system, you should see some stuff like this:

Future
I've rolled out some small patches since the last update to fix some issues that affected some people, and i'm planning on continuing this as soon as we've moved over to the new FNA branch for the ports. I'm also working on a special education build of Hacknet to put in schools and universities - to teach students terminal and computer science basics. If you are, or know anyone that's interested in this, let me know: matt@hacknet-os.com.
I'm also looking into mod support, which is a priority, and multiplayer, which is still a fair way off. There's also big plans for translations of Hacknet, that'll come with some extra content in it too.
More soon.
