We now have stand-alone game clients ready for testing! These should give you better frame-rates in general. If you’re up for testing, please give them a whirl:

Windows:

Download the launcher at http://projectgorgon.com/WindowsLauncher.zip

(Under Chrome, if you get a scary warning about how this file doesn’t get downloaded very often, choose “Keep.” Nobody’s downloaded it before because it was just uploaded tonight!)

Unzip it (for instance by right-clicking the file in Explorer and choosing “Extract All…”)

Run the WindowsLauncher program inside.

(If it asks if you want to unzip everything first, say yes.)

The game itself will download now. When it’s done, press Play to play.

If the launcher ends with an error message, please let me know what the error is, and then close the launcher and restart it. (We’ve been having intermittent “can’t reach host” errors all night for some reason.)

Login to the game and see if it works right!

Mac:

Download the launcher at http://projectgorgon.com/MacLauncher.app.zip

(If you’re using a browser other than Safari, you’ll need to manually unzip the program; Safari will unzip it for you.)

View your Downloads directory in Finder, and find the MacLauncher file. Right-click it and choose Open.

It will download the game client. When it’s done, press Play to play.

If the launcher ends with an error message, please let me know what the error is, and then close the launcher and restart it. (We’ve been having intermittent “can’t reach host” errors all night for some reason.)

Login to the game and see if it works right!

Thanks!
