Private beta coming up very soon! Who among you will be my elusive rag tag squad of patriots? Who gets to play the role of Quality Assurance Bruce Willis?

So close to finishing the game that I can taste it! Cool new video, a handful of new screenshots, a lot of excitement. The private beta will be held very early next month so feel free to drop me a line if you want to test my game for me (jvscott at gmail.com). I'll even throw in a free copy of the thing when it's released for all your hard work.

And speaking of money, I finally found a really awesome e-commerce service. I'm going to take a second to share FastSpring because it was really hard for me to find a good system when I was looking for the past week. I ended up going on someone else's recommendation and I'm glad I did.

For those of you worried because I'd like to actually get money (read: appreciation) for my hard work, it'll definitely be a pay-what-you-want system so you don't have to freak out too much. Sleep is Death has the same service, so I'm taking a page from that.
