Thanks for the notice, D, but it seems that both you and RTT mentioned this some time ago: Clicky (http://freedomreborn.net/archive/index.php?topic=42605.0).
IMHO, Cryptic AR is purely a curiosity piece, whose only hook might best be summed up as "come play with the tools CoX doesn't use." Of course, it might hold a greater appeal for next-gen game modders, but I have no background nor any interest in such enterprises.
