Why it matters

The Tripod site was the team's only public-facing presence during active development. It served as the download page for the alpha release, hosted the feature list and screenshots that caught ClanLib community attention, and was linked directly from the GDC 2002 Student Showcase coverage.

The quote "the most stunning visuals ever seen in a ClanLib powered game" originates here, making this the earliest primary source for external recognition of the project.
