What a long night!

Well we did it, we are finally releasing a limited beta of our first game, Electropy. It was a very long night and we learned a lot real fast about creating installation files, saving settings in users' settings and getting pissed at our web hosting for not allowing dmg files to be downloaded(for the Mac version).

Electropy works on Windows and Mac, we haven't tested much on Vista, however, and would really like some feedback there. It uses OpenGL so unless you have OpenGL hardware acceleration it doesn't seem to work well on Vista.

I wrote up a press release, our first one:
BOULDER, Co., October 7 2007 - Team Phobic announced today the release
of their limited beta for Electropy. The limited beta contains 30
playable levels to demonstrate the game play and to test across users'
systems. The limited beta is available for download on the Electropy
website for Intel based Macs and Windows systems. Team Phobic is
asking all bug reports and feedback sent via e-mail, and promises
online forums and scoring soon.

About Electropy - Electropy is a side scrolling action arcade title
with a fundamental game play twist. Rather than directly moving your
character, the idea is to grapple on to floating polygons in order to
swing your way to the goal. The game features a wide selection of
power-ups such as gravity change, invincibility, and flight thrusters
to diversify game play. The title also includes over 120 levels of
varying difficulty as well as the same fully functional editor we used
to make all the levels in the game. Players are ranked via online
scores that are uploaded through the game or on Electropy.com and can
download replays of any submitted score. All scores and online
profiles will be available on Electropy.com soon!

About Team Phobic - Team Phobic is a group college students who have
been working together on games for many years. They are based in
Boulder, CO, but have many friends in many places around the world.
They develop games using as much free software as possible.
