So we are live with our game, Natural Selection \u2013 You vs the World.<\/p>\n

The premise is simple, fly around an infinitely scrolling canvas and shoot through the ghosts of everyone who has ever played. The gameplay will evolve as people last and live longer and as people develop different flying strategies and techniques. When a lot of people die at a specific distance, expect a wall of enemies at that point in the future. When you die, see the names of your killer and hope it isn\u2019t yourself from a previous run.<\/p>\n

This was a huge learning curve for us since we built out the server network to scale on Azure SQL and Azure WebSites. If you get a server down screen, come back in a day, we are currently working on provisioning our machines to a larger instance.<\/div>\n

Enjoy!<\/div>\n
