Shucks, there goes my chance at learning how to create a game, creating one, and submitting it in a few months.
Give some slack for the mac users. :D

How do we find out the technical info about what is required to put a game on the site? What are going to be the technical requirements? Is it open to all developers or only the ones who win a contest? Will we be able to attach our own servers into the InstantAction world or what? We have many questions and so far not many answers. Information other than hype seems to be hard to come by! We need some specs to be published, such as: how many levels can we have? How big can the level be, etc. Can we use AI NPC's along with the multi-player? If this is the wrong place to ask these questions then please direct me to where to ask.
Thanks
