Dark Nation has passed away :(
I was terribly saddened to hear that Greg Phillips, who we know as Dark Nation, passed away a few weeks ago of medical complications.
We all know how much Greg meant to our community, and it was a pure privilege to work with him on Zelda Classic development. He was brilliant, kind, and selfless, and left us far too soon.
His wife CiCi has posted about this tragedy on the AGN Facebook group and I am sure she would appreciate any kind words or condolences.
EDIT: Post order got a bit screwed up when I merged the threads. Please read Warlord's post about donations for CiCi.
Dark Nation has gone to a better place....
It's unfortunate that I'm to let you guys know that Dark Nation passed away on December 13th. His wife CiCi passed this message along to our Facebook group earlier this evening:
Greg meant a lot to all of us here and elsewhere as well. This is pretty terrible news and I can't imagine how CiCi is handling this.
I will be accepting donations to help her out through PayPal and will be mailing her the check. If you'd like to help her out, send a payment to ebay (at) armageddongames.net - I would prefer if you gifted it, as it will not deduct fees then and we can get as much money as possible to her.
I will collect through January 31st, and then send the check out. Let's show CiCi how much DN meant to us all.
Any fond memories anyone would like to share? He was a pretty awesome guy who I know always put his wife before anything else upon still finding time to squeeze in programming and community stuff.
