I am in contact with one of them, but it sure takes alot of time to get things going. So I can't say yet which services it will be released on. Although, I plan to eventually have it released on most of them within the next 6-8 months. Will let everyone know when I secure a service for release. The title is coming really well, and it is a blast to play. As well, I plan to do some graphics upgrades in the near future.

This is looking better and better. Only criticism from me is that the weapons on the back don't appear to roll with the player when they're on a banked curve, and this makes them look very separate from the environment to me. The space scenes remind me very much of Crash Team Racing, which I've always loved! (Even though that was a pretty shameless copy of Mario Kart 64). Jibb Formerly known as JulzMighty.

Thanks for the comments Julz! The reason I don't roll the turret weapons is due to the fact that you can aim and rotate the tops of these weapons in order to shoot your opponents. If I roll the weapons, then it throws the aiming off and makes it tough. It's much easier to have a solid and steady area of rotation. Although, now I'm thinking I should go back and look into this further just incase I missed something. BTW - The game will be out on July 20th! This is set in stone. I will let everyone know on future distribution channels in the coming months.

Not more to say except that I'm not a huge fan of the snow effect, I would replace it with a different method (IMO it looks kind of cheap).
