Normal Speak:
So after months of silent treatment from portals such as Shockwave and Mac Games Arcade, and “thanks but no thanks” from distributors such as BigFish games and Real Arcade, Guategeek and I have decided to bite the bullet and release Open Fire Gold ourselves.
After I got my 2.0 indie license in October of '07 I spent 3 months getting familiar with it and then jumped headfirst into my first 3D game: OFG. We spent about 6 months developing it.
On the sad side:
We have also spent 6 additional months waiting on potential distributors. We even went so far as to port their API wrapper from ActionScript to JS for one of them, built them a version of OFG that would work on their webgame portal, sent them an invoice (at their request 
) were told “give us two weeks to get it up”, and haven’t heard back from them in about a month. 
EDIT: We heard back from them today. They had some delays but are hoping to get it up soon.
Anyways, we’re in it for the game, not the money, and are releasing the entire game for free in widget form (we don’t believe the game would work as a demo, there’s not that much content we could cut out). The only incentives to buy the standalone are if you like native-resolution fullscreen, not having a download link on your twitter posts, and a better chance at making the top 30 scores with an exclusive highscores list (but you can also post to the “normal” highscores list :P. Hope you Open Fire! fans aren’t disgusted by it! 
PS> We do want to release a windows build, but we’ll wait for 2.5 indy first
