Hello dear readers, I am pleased to bring you this Awesome™ post!

Lets start things off with Quadrant L10



Wow, not much Awesome™ here... LETS MOVE ON!

The main bulk of Awesome™ is due to the fact that at the bottom of this post is a link to download a PLAYABLE beta/proof of concept of THIS GAME called "zChicken Hunter EXTREME!"

It isn't much, you run around killing chickens in Mabe Village, but it IS fun! And it serves a useful purpose, which will be explained in a little bit.

Next up, the Forums are now open! Check them out at http://mithoskgames.prophpbb.com/
Feel free to post/brag your high scores in the LA/Chicken Hunter section, also please post your game play experience in the provided thread as it helps us figure out any problems with performance that can be fixed via code or modeling so PLEASE POST YOUR GAME EXPERIENCE IN THE PROVIDED THREAD! IT WILL HELP MAKE THE FINAL GAME RUN SMOOTH AS SILK FOR EVERYONE!

Next up is the README included in the download, PLEASE READ IT, it lists the controls and gives more detailed instructions for posting your GAME PLAY EXPERIENCE.
