Monkey-Sloth Studios is here!
« on: April 03, 2003, 03:28:11 PM »
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

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.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

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:

A plan is something you make before its needed. A good plan is one you make two seconds before you need it.

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.

http://www.timewastersguide.com/VG/MSS/MSS.php

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.

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.
