Notability
I thought I'd come on and explain why the page was deleted. The long and short is that the page was promotional and had copyright issues, but more importantly it had a lot of issues with notability. I do want to congratulate you and your team mates on completing a game since that is an extremely long and arduous process. However at the same time the game would have to have coverage in independent and reliable sources (WP:RS) to show that it passes notability guidelines, examples of which would be news articles about the game or reviews from gaming websites like IGN. Most fan games don't gain this type of coverage and I can't see where this game is an exception to that. Now as far as it not doing any harm or bigger companies having articles, unfortunately we can't keep articles based on this- you have to have the coverage. It's not entirely fair that the big companies gain all the coverage, but ultimately it all boils down to coverage in reliable sources.

Now what I would recommend is that you use sites like Wikia, which allow you to create your own wiki. The guidelines on those sites are much looser than they are on here and I think that it'd be a better place for the game information- especially since you would also be able to have pages devoted to specific things like status updates and the like.

 * Also, I do have to warn you that eventually we will have to delete your sandbox copy of the article. The reason for this is that the game doesn't pass notability guidelines and because the article was more of a gaming guide than anything else, it does sort of fall under WP:NOTWEBHOST and WP:NOTGAMEGUIDE criteria. I'll leave it up for the time being so you can move it over to a wikia or other non-Wikipedia website, but it shouldn't be used as a place to host the material in the here and now. Even if the game does eventually pass notability guidelines the material is largely considered to be WP:INDISCRIMINATE data and would have to be removed from an article anyway since Wikipedia is not a gaming guide.
