Goodbye Glitch & Thank You Tiny Speck

Tiny Speck are the creators of a wonderful browser-based MMO game called Glitch. It's quirky story, beautiful design and lovely community makes it a genuinely fun and enjoyable online gaming experience. However, it is very, very sad that Tiny Speck are going to have to close Glitch down on the 9th December for reasons explained here. When I heard the news I was totally gutted - I have loved exploring the world of Ur, decorating my house, completing all manner of bizarre quests, meeting fellow Glitches and talking to the wild and wonderful inhabitants of this marvellous game. I wanted to make a little tribute to Tiny Speck and Glitch as a way of saying thank you - thank you for creating this ambitious project that has captured so many people's imaginations - including my own. I am spending all the time I can completing my last few tasks in game, cataloguing whatever I can and enjoying the final few weeks of the best MMO I have ever played.

So, for Tiny Speck, I have made the fruits of Ur:-

A Basket Of Delicious Ur Fruits!
.... but what are they?
Here we have a Mangosteen.
And these are two Whortleberries.
Lastly, we have some Cloudberries!

Please follow Tiny Speck's Glitch Twitter for updates on the final weeks, and please please visit Glitch's Download Page for some beautiful artwork and music from the game!

So, this is a fond farewell to a game I have truly loved, Glitch, and a huge, massive thank you to Tiny Speck - best wishes for the future and good-luck in whatever you decide to do. Who knows? Maybe Glitch can one day return?...

Magic Rock, Myself, Aloysius (My Butler) and my Garden Gnome!

One last thing - if anyone from Tiny Speck reads this and you would like me to send you these felt fruits, contact me via snowflakeblueprints@gmail.com and I will send them over as a token of my appreciation!
