TEOS/LORD/LORD2:

TEOS/LORD2 are under redevelopment. Metropolis, who holds the copyrights to all three of the popular door games originally programmed by Seth Robinson will be enhanced and maintained by Michael Preslar, the same programmer currently developing the original LORD door game for Metropolis. Michael has also been granted permission from Metropolis to port all three of these door games over to Win32 excutables. Thanks to all the people who joined the petition a few months back to let Metropolis know that people wanted to have LORD ported to Win32.
