Saw this article today, and was curious if STS was going to be a backer of it.

Kickstarter project, so anyone can pitch in. I'm just curious how the community would feel about the ability to play STS games on a full-sized TV.

[UPDATE] The company behind this hit their goal. And then some.

They configured SL for use with buttons instead of touch screen, and there's Chrome, so I bet if it takes off they will develop for it.

Other than the whole "It's open-sourced and ready for hacking" thing, seems awesome.

What did you expect? It's Android based. Being open-sourced is what it does. You're on iOS, aren't you? That would explain the comment.

[UPDATE] Looks like it's going to happen. They got big name game developers, like Square/Enix, to commit. I think this is going to be awesome!
