First of all the game looks awesome, and a lot of fun to play.  So here’s kind of a wish list…
What are the chances that:
1) The PC version will be Games for Windows Live compatible (achievements, etc…)?
2) The Xbox 360 version will be an XBLA title rather than a community game (so that it can have achievements, etc..)?
3) The PC version will be distributed via a digital distribution client such as Impulse and/or Steam (preferably Impulse)?
Any input from Staff is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
~C

Odds!

Hey.
I’ll fill you in with what we know (and what we’re allowed to say!)..
1) At the moment, we haven’t dealt with the Windows Live platform, but we may look at it at a later date
2) We’d like to be on XBLA over community games so we can tie in achivements and have downloadable content. But it’s still early days..
3) We will be on steam and we shall be launching on a number of other digital distribution platforms (we’ve been hearing good things about Impulse)
Hope that helps

odds

Thanks for the odds.
1) I still hold out hope for the Windows Live integration.  There’s hardly any games out there that do it.  Check out this list   - there’s only a few titles that have the LIVE capability (the ones with the green checkmarks).
2) I’d prefer to download an XBLA game rather than a Community game.  Don’t I have to have a separate subscription to download community games?
3) I personally don’t use Steam, I use Impulse.  At any rate, here’s an article talking about the companies behind both:  
Thanks again for responding,

If you’re not going to use

If you’re not going to use GFWL, you could use both Steam AND Impulse, as well as GreenHouseGames, etc.
