Seems not too bad... beside it uses an innodb table where I would use a memory table. And it's more an IM than a true chat as I don't see how you can have discussions between multiple players.

Didn't saw any flaming post against you lilith... Did I missed something?

As most thing you will need some training time... Normally count between 6-12 month of real training before reaching any good result. So don't stop yet, just continue to try. Also, it's fine to use images found on Internet for trials, however it's not ok to sell or use or even give for free your templates done with the images WITHOUT asking their author. For your work, colors don't match very well, and it's still pretty much empty. On top of that, I don't see where you can even add a little description.

Use the support ticket system to ask, however I doubt they will accept any other kind of payment. Remains the choice to pick a free / open source engine.

Special for urbanmafia and those which mix between copyrights and patents... For copyright info, we debated more than enough here: Copyright Basics and here: Copyrights facts Now... As I'm getting tired of repeating this over and over: stop those kind of discussions specially when you don't have a good background in laws nor even read what it is exactly. Asking is fine, saying stupidities it not.

Moved.

Mmm what shall I say, congratulations for your first layout, however it doesn't appeal much. I don't see anything which is really catching my eyes so for me it's too empty, too simple, too much photoshop effects. So what remains to do is: check many many many web site / templates, and try to reproduce what you find which looks good.

That's exactly what she is looking for, as NEaB is also using that. However it will work only for loading images not for the loading of the HTML itself.

Check those 2 things: http://engine.nowhere-else.org/article_3.html Advert experiences and feeback

- Home page layout / style is really poor and do not match the in game layout. - Game header is bigger than what is displayed, so you get longer download time and also poor quality as the browser resize code is not as good as what you can do with GIMP or Photoshop. - Page loading is REALLY slow at least to me... which somehow is a show stopper - Game story? Sorry I don't see it. - Beside the usual McCode activities... I see nothing. What does your game offer which is a bit unique? So, it's a good start as you have it up and running, but you will need to invest a lot of time to have a true game which attracts people. BTW I created a demo account to let people try it: Username: demo Password: demo

- Well if this site starts to be McCode only, I will be one of the first to leave. Why? As I always stated I'm not interested in McCode at all. CB and Dabs knows it as I told them so since the beginning when they bought the forums and asked that the staff should stay. - The Zap engine didn't worked that well for a few reasons, for example people got scared by the high number of directories which was there to try to make it as clean as possible. Another reason is that it's an engine and not a full game which prevents people to start right away. For that I started to discuss with Zeggy (original creator of another open source engine) to team up and create a new engine or work both on the same one. We shall see how it goes. However that cannot be done yet as I'm currently working on something for myself. - Proposals for McCodes? Well I proposed to help on some areas... got basically no answers... I don't care again as stated it's not something important in my eyes. - The forums are going down? Well, people flame too much and don't share enough about what they are doing. You don't need to share your code, but sharing experience is useful, and yet cost nothing.

Would be cool indeed and I'm willing to help (explaining) in case of need.

There could be some work I can give you. It goes into the direction of the mascot even if I would basically need only faces and yet more specifically faces parts which should be then mixed to create a complete "custom" face by the user. If you are interested by the job I have a bit of budget which I could devote to this.

for what? Didn't somebody already gave you the solution?

Well sorry to disappoint you guys, but I never worked with McCode nor I do plan to do so. So I'm certainly not the best candidate as mod developer.

Indeed has little to nothing to do with game devel. I moved the topic.

@wrx: photoshop is for me one of the best tool even if not the easiest to master. @DreamCoder: The "site" or should I call them "pages" are really basic. Not only the look is nothing special, but even the content is... nearly empty. So if it's your first HTML page congratulations otherwise you should invest a bit more time to really get a bit more flesh before asking fore review.

Great, thanks for the info and good luck! (I wasn't requesting it for myself, but hoping to improve your chances)

Created a demo account: Username: demo Password: demo A few issues: - Switching style requires to submit 2x the same thing... don't know why. And yet it doesn't show the current selection. - Event Log => I have a lot of events... which do not belong to me for sure: "You have been removed from staff." as I have never been in the staff. So if you link it to a table based on a username, and somebody come back with the same username you have troubles. If it's not that then, you have some other oddies. - Top scrolling text => I find it annoying more than anything else - After the registration why should I login and I'm not logged in automatically? - Why the register button is not near the login? - Some times you have buttons for actions some times you have links with square brackets like [do] why not have always the same? - Chat => nothing to see here? Then why not remove it until there is something? - Slot machine doesn't seems to do much - Searching the downtown give away A LOT of money... maybe too much? Also you don't get the latest stats on the header (it requires a reload to get it right) - And... I don't got any story nor any explanation what to do... beside randomly click on things...

Mmm... somehow I see a huge list of requirements but not what you will bring yourself beside an hosting. Will you code? You have already a design? A license for an engine? Advert? More? Do you have some experiences yourself?

Indeed I agreed that he could post info about his hosting service. I didn't remembered it :rolleyes:

Not a bad game... beside you can't do much beside waiting XD Also I tried quickly to check if I could create a soft to play it automatically in background and decided to not go futher: too much pain understand how you handle the login (as it seems to be a session), and also to continue to play... Too bad for me :P

Well how can we give back some feedback if we can't do anything beside seeing a well too common home page? We can't register (disabled) and therefore we can't do anything... Also if you are now at 1% you really believe you will do the 99% in 1 month? And what will offer you engine?

Implemented: http://makewebgames.io/board873/33566-hall-of-shame

it will be for sure a bit larger and as any obfuscation is not impossible to reverse. Sorry but there is NO real solution to be 100% safe... or the only real on is to not distribute the soft but only the service.
