Cipher in 2017: What's going on?
Posted: Sat Jul 01, 2017 11:26 pm
Hello, riddlers! It's been a while. I apologize for not being around, and especially for not keeping up to date with forum correspondence, but I appreciate everyone's sticking around (especially heroic forum moderator rnightshroud, who has diligently continued to respond to questions in my absence).
So, why the silence? It was certainly not because I was out of riddle ideas...I just haven't managed to find the time to manage the game and the forum like I used to. For starters, I've been busy working: using my graphic and web design skills in more professional, non-riddle-related areas (check out www.benjamingabbay.com/design.htm for proof). I also continue to be busy writing my fantasy trilogy, Wingheart--two books published to date, with the third in the works (www.winghearttrilogy.com), and also composing music--a discipline I now study full-time at the University of Toronto. (Listen to my latest works at www.youtube.com/bengabbay!)
All this to say that I have not forgotten about Cipher, but my other fields of work have kept me and continue to keep me too busy to put in the time necessary to make new levels. Provided there is enough interest, I have some ideas about how I might be able to get back into riddle-making and I'll post more about that soon. Until then, thanks again for sticking around and I'll try not to disappear again (at least not for too long)!
