Full Description
We currently have an online 3d game called Crowns of Power ([login to view URL]) and we need a new "Patcher/Launcher Application" that, after the user installs our game (made with the torque engine), will be the program linked on the desktop for them to run that will PATCH the game files to the latest versions and then allow them to LAUNCH the actual game executable when it is done so they can play.
HOW APPLICATION WILL WORK
