== Contact Trapdoor ==
I can be contacted on IRC (#tmwdev on freenode or #gamedev on afternet)
 
== Miscellaneous Info ==
I am a Mac user, with the majority of my computers being Macs, but I do have a PC.
 
I used to work in the games industry as a Producer, but I am trying to become a programmer, and I currently work freelance creating Mac ports of Windows games.
 
The amount of spare time I have is minimal, I like to spend my time being productive, so tend to plan out everything I am going to do well in advance of being able to do it. If you want to add something to my TODO list, let me know, I am pretty open to lots of things as long as they are feasible.
 
I started working on this project as I wanted to see how other people implemented the networking side of online games. I am learning alongside creating my own network library for use in online games.
 
== Trapdoor's code ==
All the code I create is released under the BSD license. This means its free to be used in commercial and other open source projects. Feel free to contact me if you wish to use any of my source code.

Trapdoor's work

I worked on the 0.0.22.2 and 0.0.23 versions for the Mac.

Trapdoor's future

I have accepted a position at a games studio working on a competing product (a commercial MMORPG) and have therefore had to stop working on The Mana World. In the future I may come back to the project.
