Nifflas' New Game: Skyming
This particular GameDev.Net forum thread is rather interesting, as the poster is advertising to fill two programmer positions for a 2D action-puzzle game called Skymning. Note the team structure (Primary design is being handled by Nicklas Nygren) and previous work by team sections (Nicklas Nygren, Director/Lead Artist - Knytt Stories, Knytt, Within A Deep Forest).
Apparently the game has been in production for over six months, and will be released on the PC, Wii and "possibly" Xbox 360 when completed.

"Skyming?" Is it a typo or something? Because I know Nifflas is Swedish, and "Skymning" is Swedish for dusk.
Night Game -> dusk -> skymning?
Interesting...

Why the hate? It's only one small board, out of nineteen others on those forums. And people seem to have a lot of personal questions to and about him anyway, so why not?

I don't do the main administration of the forums, and I do not create the discussion boards. Don't accuse me for having created it in the first place.

I better clarify; of course I originally installed SMF and set up the forum among with it's boards. Later, it turns out that I didn't have much time to administrate the boards any longer, and a few oter people was kind enough to take over the control over the forum (I'm still an admin there, but I probably make less than 5% of the actual administration work). After the other admins took over control over the forum which by then was quite a mess, they sorted everything out, and re-arranged the entire forum for the better. In this process, the Niffchat board was obviously created.
It's removed now though, I've received criticism before for having created a board for conversations about myself (which is false, as I didn't create that board). The only thing I can consider a mistake from my side is that I didn't have the board removed earlier. I have probably made many things that I deserve being called a twat for, but if you're going to call me that, at least use a valid reason.
