			<description><![CDATA[Alright!  Insectoid has been out for a little while now, and so it's time to start talking High Scores!  <br />
<br />
Right now we don't have Global High Scores, but we do have these boards, so I figured I'd start the topic (on the honor system).<br />
<br />
My high score right now is:<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Courier New;">638187 (levels 1-37) HARD MODE</span><br />
</strong><br />
Can you do better?  What are your high scores for EASY MODE or NORMAL MODE?  I want to know!  Please share. :-)<br />
<br />
<br />

			<description><![CDATA[As you all may know, Insectoid was released Nov. 4th. I've tried to promote the game as best as I can, but it still seems few people know about it -- the number of downloads on the various download sites is very very low. For instance, Download.com generated a mere 26 downloads for Insectoid *since its release*. <br />
<br />
I was hoping to wait until end users played the game, and get excited about it and post reviews on the various sites, but since practically no one seems to even know about the game, this isn't happening. I could use some help just getting star ratings started on the various sites. Here are links to a few of Insectoid's listings below. If you have a few minutes, it would help me out a ton if you could create a user account at one of the sites below, and post a star rating / review of Insectoid. (Obviously I'm hoping for the best rating they allow, to encourage new users to download the game, but you can post whatever you think is appropriate.) <br />
<br />
If you do, post here which site you did this on, and maybe someone else will post to one of the others. of course, the more the merrier.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Well, at the moment, I'm working on the last of two items to get Insectoid ready for Gold Master -- which refers to everything in the software being finished. Gold Master releases are then released to testers, and if no big problems are found, they are then released to the public. I intend to release GM releases to testers today (and may even make it a more public GM release, posting a link here later), and if all goes well, perhaps the game will be released this Monday.<br />
<br />
This is of course good news for MM fans, because I will be able to work on the MM Expansion Pack, probably starting a week or two after Insectoid has been released.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I've mentioned I'm doing a new game. Here's a VERY preliminary screenshot to wet your appetite. (Note that many things will change, including some of the graphics you see here. Some of them are quite preliminary.)<br />
<br />
The game is a shooter, much like Galaga. Level design is being done by our very own Psychotronic. And I have an artist who is just amazing.<br /><!-- start: postbit_attachments_attachment -->
