Thanks, good suggestions. We just have the current "teaser" trailer we used to announce, but now we're out, we'd definitely benefit from a more straight up gameplay-oriented trailer.

Three of us quit our jobs about six months ago to start a new mobile game studio. It was one of the most exciting yet terrifying things I have done. I mostly lurk here on HN, but I got a lot of the inspiration/courage to take the plunge from the community here! Our first game is out today on iOS (https://itunes.apple.com/app/monster-crew/id561545477?ls=1&#...). Other obvious platforms will hopefully follow soon.

Being colorblind myself I can't attest to its quality, but: http://www.colblindor.com/color-name-hue/

edit: apparently based on this (which has a worse color picker but probably better results): http://chir.ag/projects/name-that-color

IANAL, but I think the Marching Cubes patent has expired now since it's been 20+ years since both filing and issuance: http://www.google.com/patents?vid=4710876

The Age of Empires/Age of Mythology series (and Halo Wars) work in an analogous fashion. By the time we were working on AoM, we had a more sophisticated hashing system that allowed the actual program flow to be hashed to some extent (via lots of manual insertion of sync statements in relevant spots). This allowed you to have some insight about how a given client got into a certain state compared to the others. If you just hash the final state, it can be quite mysterious how it ended up wrong. For example there might be hundreds of actions that can change the hitpoints of a unit. If you see hitpoints go out of sync, it helps narrow the search space for the bug a lot to know something like "it was catapult 123's AOE curve calculation for archer 456" that diverged.

It's probably best to just ignore references unless they are negative (or come from someone you trust).
