   @AJTilley: we're waiting for Awesomium to be finished, this is a test of their alpha release.  We'll be supporting offline play when it's fully released.

	The game will be an .EXE file like in Cclassic? with the same structure? This may be a good solution to prevent code steals, images, etc ;)

	I'm not sure if you guys are familiar with Pokki. You can wrap your HTML5 games in an EXE right now with Pokki. That is what Pokki does. Here are a couple awesome and addicting HTML5 games wrapped in EXE: http://four-horsemen.en.softonic.com/ http://tupsu.en.softonic.com/ The other nice thing about Pokki is that you get included in the Pokki store so users then get one click access to your games. https://www.pokki.com/ There are some other cool things like desktop notifications and badges to bring users back into the game as well. thekid... I obviously work for Pokki, so please keep that in mind with the shameless plug above, but I was seeing a lot of interest in wrapping HTML5 in EXE and that is what we do! feel free to ping me if you have any questions. ben@pokki.com

	@thekid the pokki store looks great, i was just wondering about performances ? i tried to play tupsu, but the loading screen say no webgl and take too long which it's didn't play in the end ?, about horsemen very nice game and polished it was lagging a little but it's playable and sounds played very well, the only concern i got is about apps performances in general. but overall, love the apps and games in pokki, if C2 export pokki apps directly it would be a neat feature.

	I gave Four Horsemen a whirl. Worked pretty well. Though the sound just stops after you've played for a bit. Not sure if that's because of Pokki or the games coding. Was hard to tell if the game ran less smooth than intended. It's a small game though, so it should run smooth enough. However, there's one problem I have and it's with the Pokki app/browser/thing itself. It places itself above my row of icons in the task bar and thus makes it larger. I find it invasive and that is a huge issue for me. I don't like apps or programs placing themselves where-ever they please without my say so, which it does. It might be a minor issue, and one the average user might not care about, but it raises a red flag in my head. Edited by inkBot - 11 May 2012 at 3:25pm

	Well @Ashley. Do we know an estimated full release date of awesomium? Some programs are always in the "beta"-stage, even tough they are complete programs. (look at the udk) Edited by Black2key - 14 May 2012 at 3:46pm

	@Black2key - they haven't announced anything yet I don't believe, so I don't know. Maybe you could ask them directly yourself.
