Friendly advice: Getting a simple site up and running describing your game with a few screenshots or a gameplay vid and providing download links takes no more than 2 hours. Personally I hesitate to download anything from another person's dropbox. Since you've worked a lot on your project don't let it fail due to poor promotion :)

#62Ignore all the people here telling you to open-source this (for now). You have a product and a compelling story. This could be one of the rare games that actually makes money. Once you have a playable game that looks good and is fun, your main problem is getting noticed and making it easy for people to get your game and pay you for it. You've got a good story, which is key to marketing and getting noticed. You worked…

#64> It would be great just to hear your experiences of the game and how far in it you got. Post this on the TIGSource forums and ask for feedback. That is where most of the indie game developers congregate.
I have to take my son to school really quick so I'll have to do it when I get back. Btw, if anyone wants to go ahead and share this anywhere, feel free! I just want to make fun things and if you share that fun I'd be grateful.

Yeah I definitely agree. I actually had a website up once but I had to let it go because I couldn't afford the domain and server costs.

It is how it is. I'm hoping the game is good enough to travel through word of mouth :)
