Just got it!

First impressions:  You have to install the installer.  This is an interesting choice.  Not the one I would make, necessarily, but interesting.

More first impressions incoming!

EDIT:  Okay, some very basic stuff, I'll need to give it a more concerted try tomorrow.  It's very complicated.  Having that much floorpsace to deal with is a lot at first.  I'm sure I'll get the hang of it but damn, there's a lot to think about.

Yes, unintuitive I agree. The issue is that I need 2 frameworks in order to run my game: XNA and .NET. The installer that visual studio will create for you makes sure that the user gets those frameworks, so that's very nice, but it sucks at things like automatic updates. So I make people run the installer to get the prerequisites and install a small app that is basically just a launcher. Then if the launcher runs I can assume the game will run so I can just download the necessary files directly to a sub-directory of the launcher. This also allows me to push updates automatically and repair game files based on a checksum.

Did you enter george@wtfrontier.com instead of george@wrfrontier.com? The first one is the correct email, while the second one is a typo.

Can't install things because of computer shenangians, but this sounds interesting, so waiting for information from people who can play the game.

It's fun, but the AI can be extremely frustrating and need more feedback on build screen.

The AI is the worst, crappy and predictatble enough to fall for the same trick everytime, but good enough after that to drag things out for way too long
