Hey everyone,

I'm a Byond veteran checking back in, as I have a few ideas in the works and am trying to decide whether to pick Byond back up or learn something new.

I'd really like to use the web client for one of my more developed ideas, but after a forum search I don't see much chatter about it recently. Has it been abandoned, or is it just on the back burner for now?

I've tried to connect to a few different games and noticed it isn't working properly at the moment.

Spevacus	It's currently on the backburner. If I recall correctly, there's an issue that sprung up during 511 that's rather crippling. The fix for it would invalidate a library the web client uses and would demand a replacement made from scratch which would be... extremely time consuming. While I can't speak for Lummox, I wouldn't expect a developmental return to the web client in the near term.
