Hi Dark, yes i just donated 75 dollars to st2 retroactively so to speak and donated 20 pounds through paypal to 3 monkeys so htats money in the bag for them. I worry that they might not reach their goal though. More interaction, although that can also lead to a lot of non intuitive complexity in general is a good idea imho. I liked audio defence because it was so intuitive and engaging because of the complementing of body movement and 3d audio. Innovation is always good though I hope they will make it. And yes i did read the st2 updates exciting stuff!
