No, unfortunately producing something for Metro would involve a major rewrite of a whole lot of stuff, it's a pretty different system.

I'm not sure that it's even possible to do a high data capacity application in it, it has some various limits like a program must be able to save everything and exit within 3 seconds or be forcibly terminated... Things like that seem to me to limit the system to more lightweight things like games and stuff like that.

So as things currently stand I do not have any plans to produce a Metro version of MoI.
