seems you are relying on a font being installed i don't have:

Found and installed that font, when i attempt to start the game:

This is on an amd radeon r9 290 card.

Screenshot looks neat. I'm curious to play this one!

My ancient laptop and OS does not support the version of .Net that you're using. Which is probably ok because even if it did, my graphics card doesn't support shaders so something would probably go wrong there. I doubt it'd be reasonable to try to make it work on my machine.

I've really liked the screen shots you've been putting up and it was cool to hear the background ambience. I really want to be afraid of that star while navigating to the relative safety of the orbiting asteroids. If you can do a video at some point, even after the contest, I'm curious to see the end result.

Thanks Slicer, I've included a couple of fonts so that shouldnt happen now. I've also corrected that shader compilation error. I've posted another journal entry.

Thanks guys. My game still feels a bit light on gameplay, hopefully be able to improve it but I seem to be fighting lots of minor issues... Will try and get a video up and running at some point.
