I want to clean up all technical issues before moving forward with content updates. The black screen error appears to be resolved, as two users confirmed that windows media player (and XNA's dependence on it) was to blame. You can follow the bug thread to see how to resolve the issue for yourself. At the moment I have the following queued up, and as I work on Block King (my next greenlit game) some of these are getting resolved simultaneously in both games: -volume adjustment option -full screen toggle -screen size manual adjustment -mouse going off screen sometimes -better mouse graphic so easier to see with all backgrounds If you have other technical issues you'd like resolved (non-content) please comment on this announcement and I'll try to work them in as well. Thanks!
