i had the thing completely done and working in facebook; I was playing through FB daily for a few months as testing. i saw Mars completely tank via facebook due to lack of documentation and a toxic player environment and we thought "ya... maybe we should work on that stuff first".

it turned out that, in general, few folks were interested in seriously helping us with the content or growing the game and most who did offer to help were more concerned with their own self-interests. it's one of my bigger disappointments. (and I say that about the content creation specifically, which has never gotten off the ground; not about efforts in general, which overall have been outstanding)

at this stage, the new stuff I'm writing will be able to work in Facebook, Google+, Android apps, you name it. Resolution and platform will no longer matter. it's just a matter of creating the appropriate wrapper. i'm kind of glad we didn't go to other platforms because the web has changed a lot and we never had the kind of instant get-hooked game that was going to make EE a farmville or something. We're niche; we go into things knowing that as a certainty.
