No it isn't any of the pesky standards compliant. Maybe i'll pay someone from here to convert it once it is finished. :)

Just like some opinions. How easy is it to find information you need? Need more information - what? Would you signup? (signup works, feel free to)

Manual and Blog/News buttons are both broken as is the lost password button.

Colors are great ... nice illi work. The colors of the artwork really pop off the page. It's a nice greeting for would-be visitors.

Love the graphics :)

I registered though and never recieved an email... not even in my junk folder.

Ben - I believe it is some kind of online game.

Yeah it is an online game.

I noticed it took about 10 minutes for the email to arrive for a mate of mine. How long did you wait? I will need to get that sorted out also so it gets there straight away.

I've waited over an hour... instant would be better if possible.

Oh a game, I am going to register. Really cool.

EDIT: Man this is a really cool game, better than any virtual pet game that I have ever seen. If you have any sort of administrating jobs available, I would be more than happy to take them. Bloody awesome

Looks pretty cool... I've just signed up and awaiting the user activation email.

Before when I've registered with your other games I've never received the email, do you know why this is? Do you have any set rules for hotmail addresses etc?
AndyH

Normally they go to junk mail with Hotmail (maybe with Yahoo etc also...)
Mike

Heh, strange. I've just received the email. Don't know what happened to the rest when I tried registering for your other games last year :)

Oh and Andy... how do you promote your games? I'm looking at developing a sports based one, but don't have a clue how to get people to it.

Word of mouth alot would be from. Then there is top lists (MPOGD, TopWebGames, ApexWebGaming).

Advertised on eBaumsWorld, it went great as did on Westech's CrazyMoneyGames.com.

At the start it is going to be tough. If I could go back I would have spent more on advertising in the beginning.

I know this game will definately be a hit. Once you can attack people, it will be awesome

Andy,

I think you should have an "About" page, on my initial viewing of the page I did not know what the site was about. This may be a problem for many users - they won't signup because they don't know what it is.

Regards,
Michael

Thanks Michael for that suggestion.

Would besides "Blog / News" be a good place for it? I was going to do a "Features" page so maybe I can combine the two.

moonshield - Hotmail? Checked your junk mail folder? This is something i'm going to have to follow up for sure.

Masetek - Not mine personally, but yeah the guy that does them is awsome. Cheap to.

The frontpage graphic was only $40.

Nope. I was using my own webmail. I will try again using gmail.

Now I have it. Looks like a great game. Good job.

It's a little complex for someone who has never played this type of game before. I need to look at some help files or something.

The Illustrations look great, but it isn't really clear to me where the sites is about.
Mike
03-04-2006, 11:13 AM
Yeah, if there was a help file it would be much better. Love the layout and everything, but I'm not sure what to buy and why I'd buy stuff etc.

Edit: Sorry, just seen the tutorial in the forum!
