Comments: It Takes Two to Tango

I played your game a couple of times and I like the concept. I'm curious about a few things. How many games have been played so far? Can you review individual playthroughs? If so, of those, approximately how many playthroughs have featured significant social interaction (as opposed to being 'all business')? Do you have any plans to describe strange, interesting and amusing playthoughs of the multiplayer version once the single-player version is complete?

Good questions Bigger J,
I am working on the tools that process the gameplay logs and filter out the "real" games -- the games that actually had two players. So, very soon I will start posting daily updates on the project web site tracking the number of games played so far.

Yes, I can review individual playthroughs. I have a tool that distills a log file into something easily human readable (looks like a script to a play), and soon I will have a tool that converts a log into Torque Script so that it can be replayed in engine.

I can't comment on counting "significant social interactions" until I've finished collecting data.

Once the single-player version is complete, I will definitely share interesting and amusing observations. I will also release the corpus (with identifiers removed) for use by other interested researchers.

Ooh, I'd like an order of the 16oz Corpus, sounds tasty
