I have been lucky to have had a few designs considered for development but until this point nothing had gone the distance.nnWhen "Blade" (originally know as "P-Zero") was picked to be developed further I couldn't believe my dream was finally coming true. The concept was developed and elements of another of my designs "Turbine" (a personal favourite of mine) were incorporated, which have taken my original concept to new levels.nnI am so pleased with the outcome and want to thank the whole Tokyoflash team for doing such a splendid job! I would also like to thank the fans and the other blog submitters for giving it and me great support.nn=============nMusic: "Car Crash" by Jahzzar.nhttp://www.jamendo.com/en/track/940178/car-crash Less
