Guys - I'm super impressed! Congratulations for publishing to steam!

Watched first couple episodes and it was good, then watched next couple episodes and it was bad. I'm done with it. After the first two episodes they were like "well we got all the introductions out of the way, we'll just be a run of the mill themed cop-and-sidekick story-of-the-week show now". Was ...

One of the main requirements I had to follow was that it match ASGS's minimum system requirements. That meant using .NET 2.0, which limited us to using WinForms rather than something more modern (and customizeable) like WPF, where we could have essentially *complete* control over how it looked.

AirMech looks pretty impressive from that youtube video. Nice :)

we almost have everything we need to build high quality games for ...

- programming knowledge requirement too high to make a gameplay change that require code change.
