		<description>Hi again, gamesblow. Yes, I’ve seen you promoting NOVASTRIKE on various forums – thank you for that.

We’re presently on track to submit the update in early August, and I’ll do another official blog post here when we’ve officially submitted the update – there are some other features that we’re adding that I think players will appreciate that haven’t been mentioned yet. Subsequently I’ll be doing a full list of everything the update will include at that point.

Naturally I’ll respond to comments then, and then I plan on doing another blog post when the update is released (detailing the trophy requirements for earning them) so I can directly read and respond to comments from folks that have downloaded and played the update (or new customers that are waiting for the updated version before buying the game).

Support for NOVASTRIKE is by no means stopping at the first update, and I plan on evolving the game into a better product over time both based on customer feedback as well as what we have planned for NOVASTRIKE here at Tiki Games.

Have a good 4th of July weekend.</description>

		<description>Cool stuff, man! I can&#039;t wait to check out the new patches, myself. I do my best to evangelize to everyone on psn how great this game is when you give it a chance and get past the difficulty at 1st.</description>

		<description>Awesome, can&#039;t wait for the next updates or PSn store downloads or both together!  I love this game and anyone still playing Stardust needs to jump into Novastrike cause it&#039;s such a better game.

The missions actually add more depth to the game and I think in the offset, like you two were saying, kind of confuses people cause all they want to do is fly around 1 screen shooting things or rather that&#039;s what they&#039;re use to. Novastrike, I hope, paves the way for more games that deviate from the typical blue print we&#039;ve seen on the PSN store, but more importantly I hope it paves the way for you guys to get some serious content up and to work on other projects for the Ps3.</description>

		<description>Hey Kevin-

I finally beat recruit level.  I&#039;ve been pressed for time so instead of a big slot available for MGS4 I spent more time on Novastrike.

This game is great fun and I hope more people jump onboard to appreciate how much good the game is.

I think people don&#039;t understand how the mission variety mixes stuff up into an interesting arcade experience.

Thanks again and please put some thought toward revamping weapon cycling.  A single button press for a single weapon would be fine by me during a frenetic fight.
:)</description>

		<description>I would love to have a co-op player option in the update. there&#039;s much too little co-op gmaeplay for ps3. this could work with 1up can still be free-roaming, while 2up can&#039;t leave the frame. then, they also could switch roles from level to level...</description>

		<description>Amazing how I have Mgs4 and Gta4 sitting here and all I can play are Psn games &quot;ha&quot; Mainly Novastrike. 

I&#039;ve had an absolute blast with this all week cause I&#039;ve been so pressed for time and haven&#039;t had a lot time game with so Novastrike has really filled that void for me.  I thank you Kevin and hope you support this game 100% for the Ps3. 

I want some add on content now! 

co-op would be cool
in game music would be alright
a new ship would be sweet, maybe a tad bigger... but this wasn&#039;t an issue with me at all. I want you to know that.

Again, I love this game and to date it is right up there with Pixel Junk Monsters with me for my favorite psn game. This is a true classic and everyone who reads this and is on the fence about the game, get it!</description>

		<description>One more quick question Kevin, maybe you have addressed already here, if so I am sorry for repeating it.
On your web page, under media, under Gameplay Movies, the icon you click on looks like a great piece of art.  Any chance you will be making Wallpaper, or NOVASTRIKE Themes available on the PSN, so we decorate our HDTV&#039;s with NOVASTRIKE?  Can you also make it available on the website as well, So we can have some great NOVASTRIKE wallpaper for our computer screens?
THANKS

		<description>Thanks again for the comments.  I still don&#039;t understand the intense dislike towards cheat codes myself, once again you don&#039;t have to use them.  I guess being an &quot;old-timer&quot;, married, gamer(39), who grew up with magazines and books that were nothing but cheat codes, I was surprised to see the format die off.  Even great games like the Wing Commander series had such cheat codes, and I know it didn&#039;t ruin the experience for me and I played the series over and over again.  Just over the years I have seen &quot;easy mode&quot; really mean &quot;normal or hard mode.&quot;  Easy mode should be just that, really easy.  I don&#039;t understand why you won&#039;t put cheat codes in the game, but I respect it.  I do like the concept of infinite ships that has been suggested, though that in its self is a kind of cheat.

There is a rather large audience now of us older gamers with disposable income, who enjoy the &quot;drop in drop out play&quot;.  I have heard, &quot;Wow this is too hard, I don&#039;t have time for this.&quot;  Thats why easy mode should be very easy.  If there is depth and excitement in the experience then you don&#039;t have to worry about the game.  People will play the game over and over again.

I know this is probably nothing you haven&#039;t heard before, but I just thought I would share with you my particular demographic, older(39), married(19 years), both me and my wife long time gamers, who use our disposable income towards game purchases.
THANKS AGAIN,
