Rogue Survivor goes open source! Twice!

HEY YOU!!
It's been a loooong time! Sorry for not being as responsive as I should and letting this game rot!
As you may have noticed, the game hasn't been updated since 2012 and I don't plan on updating it. Same for RS2.


OPEN SOURCE - PART ONE
So seeing there is amazingly still an interest in this game, and some people are crazy enough to decompile the game (wtf) to get the code, let's just give the original code away!
You can get it there:
https://github.com/roguedjack/Rogue-Survivor-Alpha-9

If you intend to do something with it, please read the readme first!


OPEN SOURCE - PART TWO - FAN OF THE YEAR(S)
Alternatively, some fan has gone as far as decompiling the game(!) and adding new stuff or fixing bugs(!). I admire his bravery, even though that scares me a bit, and he might even be more competent than me at improving/fixing the game!
He has a thread on the forums:
http://roguesurvivor.proboards.com/thread/362/rs-revived
His work is open source too, so that's great. It's very impressive and I will leave him a word of love.


THANK YOU & CLOSING WORDS
That's a thank you from ME to YOU guys!
Some of you guys have some serious dedication for this game! It is both scary and awesome... scarysome!?
Sorry for failing you by not working more on the game or being more responsive!
From time to time I secretly tried to revive the game or start a new incarnation. I didn't tell you guys because all I had to show was a couple of prototypes that didn't go very far and I didn't want to repeat the RS2 fiasco...
Anyway, I don't plan on updating the game, so go ahead and have fun!!

HAVE FUN!
