Not just the trailer we have posted on the site, but something including voices that provides the core concepts of gameplay.
Like
"Scouting and probing"
"Techpaths and strategy"
"Dogfights"
"Territory control"
"Research and economy"
"Ints are the best thing ever and are your only family now why don't you have 50kb"
etc.
Biggest problem in player retention is the vastness of the game and understanding it. We could make some short 5-8 minute videos that break down concepts and strap it in with the installer so they have some understanding before they even start the game. I'd be happy to work on these with some other volunteers. Maybe a video editor as I suck at editing videos.
If we can't increase the amount of people that discover the page and download the game, we can increase the players we retain within that demographic.
Along with the keymap problem, can we also update the textures that come with the default installer? Use the textures that come with Mesial's texture mods. After using those textures, looking at the default game textures is very bland and puts a bad taste in my mouth.
Until we fix the memory issue that keeps people crashing, i would not reccomend it.
I already have a installer with the new keymap and the high res that allegiance CAN support.
thing is that the tutorials are unsuable.

If anyone is going to update the default textures, they should not look to Mesial's site first, but rather the texture pack Quia made from the MS source CD's Peter Arisman gave us. These master textures are 2-4x the detail of the original retail ones. 512x512 or 512x256 (upscaled to 512x512) compared to the stock 256x256 textures.
I've spent a little time the last week or so looking in to this again to see if there was anything she missed, but so far I haven't found it. I vaguely remember there being an issue with something of rix, but I don't know for sure. If more people could test them out, that would be cool.

Any change in the statistics on downloads and site visits?

The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.
