What the hell is a 4D game? I just hate buzzwords.

It's not a buzzword though, the game is actually 4D.

Still sounds wonderful, but when's the damn thing coming out? I first heard about Miegakure in an xkcd from 6 years ago, and was immediately ready to hand over my money. It's been hard to maintain that enthusiasm through one and a half Presidential terms...
