I've never found a compilation of press pieces about skyrates before. I am for sure missing some on this first post, but that's why we're a community. To help each other out. If you find any other press pieces on this lovely game, post here and I'll edit it onto this compilation (while citing you of course!)

"Skyrates" by Jay is Games
The article that brought in a number of players

"Avast, Skyrates!" by Rock Paper Shotgun

"Skyrates" by Today's Free Game

Does this count?
"Student Post Mortem: Skyrates" by the dev team (!) posted on Game Career Guide

Huh, never have expected Skyrates to pop up on RPS of all places. I guess that's us crazy brits for you. :remygrin:

Mind you, I did only start reading RPS mid-late last year.

All the really hardcore coders do their thing while hanging from a rock face.

SR1's site credits only the 5 folks listed at http://skyrates.wikia.com/wiki/Devs , but the pic above shows 7 sporting "skyratey wings".
Who are the additional two folks?
