I've tried a few times to use Mercurial from the command line and just can't get my head around it. TortoiseHG takes all that pain away by visually displaying what has changed / the different builds & branches. Merging

I saw that too. Is English a second language? At the moment, you seem to be looking for audience engagement (as opposed to generating revenue). If that is the case then I'd leave it as is. I read that sort of thing and see it as cut

You should add how many games it takes to meet your target. The one thing with Roulette is that it can get very boring very quickly! I worked on [this][1] product in a previous life. They knew that you only had a certain attention span, so
