I hope this leads to a positive interest
I do too, but it's surprisingly hard to get people to try the game. Most of the people I've emailed the link to, including a frustrating number of my friends (ahem, "friends") have been passing it over, apparently dismissing the message as spam. In a couple forums my message has been deleted because of "no spam" policies.
I can understand not wanting to clutter up the channels of communication with tons of unwanted ads, but a free game announcement on a gaming message board?
