We’re making a final push on publicity for EON, and I’ve uploaded the latest version that adds local highscores, a bunch of changed levels that have a bit better progression for noobs, you just click on the screen to spawn wells instead of the dumb dragging thing I started with, other stuff I’m sure is important… Oh, and a cool loading bar, the last one was suck.
Most of the changes are responses to first-time user input, hopefully it’ll make the experience for new users painless and as awesome as possible. We’re really excited about this game, it’s probably the most “fun” thing we’ve produced lately and I’ve watched it suck in more of our friends for longer than our previous games. It’s not the super hardcore gameplay of Fig. 8, and it’s an obvious fun game as opposed to Gray, and I think the mood and zen atmosphere is really successful, if I do say so myself :)
We’ve got the current version up on FGL, but you need to have an account there to check it out. Once we’ve gotten a sponsor signed up and I’ve finished implementing the microtransaction system we will be golden. Hopefully it’ll be out by sometime next week, unless we run into more snafus.
Of course, there are always snafus…

From my experience, it could be another few weeks easily, especially depending on the sponsor since some of them delay the release of their sponsored games due to other games they sponsor already being lined up. Either way, good luck, looks cool.
