My 2c as somebody outside of the game development scene:

- it seems weird to spend time developing a "social backend" when you could have bootstraped using OpenFeint or Game Center and saved development time which seemed to be an issue for you

- it also seems to be a huge lack of focus to first try developing 3 games instead of 1, then start a PC game and before that one is even released, restart yet another one with a different strategy.

OF is gone. We are cross platform, so GC alone will not work. We used contractors and internal resources to develop our products. I have done very well in the games business, so our company is well funded.

All I have tried to do here is to explain things that we have done so it can help other people in the future. Of course, we did not do everything or even the majority of things right on this game, but I have pointed those things out in the article.
