The studios webpage will be up in the next day or two. But I thought I'd give you a sneek peek at the first game Slother. Everything works on it but being able to stay on the logs. This isn't to big of a deal and I'll haveing it working soon. Just look for other bugs ok ;D

Noticed an error with the top most trucks not killing poor monkeysloth. that's been fixed.

Here's the base for the main webpage. The music's not loading for somereason (well it's a 1.5 meg file but it should start streaming well after 10min ???) anyway I'm working on that. here you can view the Slother Highscores by movieng you mouse over the button. I'm adding this to the Slother game at the moment as I add new levels, but I have to do it Via PhP so I'm learing that too. So Sometime this weekend that will be done. I've got work so I probaly wont get much more done today or tomorrow. Once I figure the feel of the site I want I'll add a new menu system. But sence I've only got 1 game atm I don't have much need for anything cool.

nice game. on the website : never, EVER use music that auto starts. its stupid and annoying. TBH, dont bother with music, full stop. most people, if they want music, they already have it running.
I like the scrolling thingy though. but shouldnt it be plural? High Scores?
Oh and the text for sloth studios is cute.
-
Actualy I'm going to change the music to have it not auto load. For that reason and for a convienet preloader bar. i'm also going to allow you to load your own mp3's either by URL or from your pc.
And ya that should probaly be highscores, I was intending it for just the #1 score but I think plural would be better.

OK as a few of you know I got a domain and hosting throught a friend of Tage's, it should be up by the end of the week. Anyway I spent a few hours last night researching sloths and starting to design what monkey sloth will look like. And man Sloths aren't easy to make look cool. I went from an overly cute character to a wierd ET mutnant. I didn't want to make him look like Sid the sloth form Ice age, but I did mess around with how they designed him. Anyway here's a logo I came up with:

The logo rocks! Its 3am, so thats all I have to say.....
-
Well I haven't figured out how whats wrong but things I upload to my site won't display. So I'm still using TWG.

here's what the base feel of the main page #1 is going to look like. Tell me what you think of the menu system.
edit: I added dropshadows to 2 of the buttons. And left 2 as they were before. I like the shadows.
-
woo hoo my site works now. You can see the same thing with a few minor grapical changes there:

ugg now I get to go and clean up the VG directory :'(
-
Yay! Now you just need to post some stuff.
-
Sorry man, that was taking ages to load.
-
realy? The file is only 40K. Well I'm working on a preloader and adding things. So it's going to get bigger. But I'm going to try and keep the main page under 100k
-
It might not have been the size. My first thought was that it was that I had so many windows open. But then I realized that no other window was trying to load anything. for some reason, I just wasn't ever seeing any content.
It might be something weird with my provider. I kind of think of all dialup as sort of "fly by night" now. I'll try again when Cable finally gets out here.
-
It could also be because there's no preloader. So you won't see anyhting till it all loads. I'm working on adding one now.
-
it looks really nice, nice enough to warrent adding a link for you email address.
Do you do requests?
-
sure I guess, is it something you want me to do for you? The site isn't done and I'll add contact info once it is. I kinda put it on hold till i get the fireworks done.
-
maybe, Im thinking of a site for Eureka, but I dont have any web space right now.
-
sure I'd be happy to help you with that. I'm learning PHP at the moment witch will make the site more dynamic and profesional. Flash can do some cool stuff with PHP.

Incidentally, I have nailed this problem. It was not a problem with Flash or Shockwave as I first suspected, but the indext.dat file in my user profiles Temp Int. Files. Booting to DOS and deleting it cleared that up. I'll be checking out your flash stuff now. (incidentally, this is also why I could not download zip files and such)
-
hey, I like. However, the logo jumps a bit too much for my taste. Halve the jumping factor and it's perfect.
-
well I've started to add some page content. On the "Home" menu there's post card that, once my database is working, will display news stuff. my Question is I want to get rid of those colors on the background and make them one shade/picture. Any suggestions?

Seems to me any picture would work as well as another. Just make sure it's muted so you can see the words on top of it. I'd suggest some sort of monkey or sloth picture. (I learned all I know from Captain Obvious)
-
I added a picture to the post card, you can flip the card over to see it with a button in the bottom right hand corner. Also I added more to the stamp part.
-
Something like this saint?

if I did go with this then I'd spruce up that picture a bit.
-
Yeah, something very like that. I like it.
