Congratulations! Would you consider presenting the game and your 
experience with D in an oral presentation at Dconf? I think this 
sort of material would interest a lot of people in the community. 
All you need to do is put up a small description of the project 
and send it to social at dlang.org. If it gets selected you could 
participate to dconf for free + all your expenses regarding the 
trip (flight + accommodation) will be paid by the Foundation. For 
more info check [1]. The deadline should have been 15 May but 
late submissions might be considered too.

Cheers,
