Just what I needed while debugging.

Today, Oolite's at number 8 of the top 10 downloads at http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/, and is the number one RPG & Strategy download (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/g ... _strategy/).

w00t!

Well, the Linux port reached 4 again on berlios.de (but has since fallen back a bit - there's always a peak when it gets announced on Happypenguin)

I'm absolutely with you. Everyone should pass a freak-check before being allowed to download Oolite! :wink:

I saw it a little before at Apple games, and think it peaked at 4th.

Well done indeed! Deserved.
Maybe time to start thinking about a signing system for releases and .oxp's maybe something a little gpg ish. So we know which ones are from where...
(me and my dodgy mind. sorry. Congrats Giles and thanks everyone)

I updated the happypenguin listing to 1.61 and there have been over 500 downloads in the last 2 days! Not bad.

It's a good review of the game, but not very well written!

No link to the official Oolite site and riddled with spelling and grammar errors.

Still, any publicity is good! I'm being overly critical, maybe...
