Name: Downtown Toronto RPG

Link: www.downtown-to.com

Game description:

Downtown Toronto started one year ago, through being hacked several times i shut the game down until march this year when i brought it back up again.

I started coding on a higher level and made the whole layout of the game by myself when previously i had people do it for me. I went through many different color schemes and i still am however im leaving it plain and simple for the time being.

Im about to introduce a Company Script which is similar to that of Torn Cities Job.company script. Only mine is better, lol.

Please let me know what you think as far as.

7.5/10 The game functionally is good, though the design really needs improving the "TC Background" really needs improving :-P possibly change it to another colour. The login is different from most games which is good.

Re: [REVIEW] Dowtown Toronto RPG ~ review

TC background has been changed! lol it was only temporary. Im soon to start a Expensive advertising campaigne once the game can be viewed in both Browsers, IE and Mozilla perfectly!

Re: [REVIEW] Dowtown Toronto RPG ~ review

Well first of all it needs a story line to improve, pointless playing a game without a good storyline, show your users what "Dogtown Toronto" is all about, be creative, then possibliy change the design of the site to something that suites the game design.

so far i give 5/10

4/10

not anymore, just signed up to the game and it asked to verify the account, so i went back to the login page and signed in, no point of verifying was their?

Okay so a 5/10 because i had no Story on the front page because it was hacked a few weeks back and deleted and has not been put back up yet. It will be put back up before its moved into ALPHA.

Then a 4/10 because you didnt have to verify your account. hmmm

Okay thankyou for reviewing.

Last bit of your first sentence made no sense.

"then possibliy change the design of the site to something that suites the game design."

Simplify that, "Change the design of the game to something that suites the desgn."

Have a look at an orignal MCcode then compare. completly differernt, i have not used one persons login or header script, i have done my design completly by myself. just about to introduce a template into the register page.

That was harsh but okay then!

Thanks for the support there Vorless.

 

 

Zero, thankyou for your input!

Im not sure what you mean, if i change to what you have shown its not defining the bg picture? I have used the validator before and cleaned my CSS up but just before i added the background in. Can you explain a bit more?

thankyou :-)

Ok basically i am saying the background image your using is small i know it looks big but goto users online or userlist you can see where it repeats which i find horrible looking and off putting.

the code i provided sorts that out by sticking the image constantly fixed so if they scroll it stays the same.

look at Uriahs website for a example

Re: [REVIEW] Dowtown Toronto RPG ~ review

I was looking for a piece of code that fixed the background but i couldnt find it, do i add what you gave to my line or do i replace the complete thing, if i replace i think i still have to show the url of the BG pic right?

Re: [REVIEW] Dowtown Toronto RPG ~ review

Updates have now been made.

8th/12/08 the advertising campaign starts promising 200-600 new signups.

Illusions new change theme has been a success, login and check out the new space theme!

[Zero-Affect]

Re: [REVIEW] Dowtown Toronto RPG ~ review

looks better with fixed background,

where are you advertising?

28 online in last 24 hours, much more than others

[radio_active]

Re: [REVIEW] Dowtown Toronto RPG ~ review

Yeah much better, i forgot to thankyou for helping me with that, Thanks for helping me with that xD

Yes, the usersonline in last 24hours was reset yesterday so we seem to be doing really well at the moment. It may look even better once the Campaign is over, just advertising on a few hundred dollars into some sites. If they are successful ill let you know them.

[Zero-Affect]

Re: [REVIEW] Dowtown Toronto RPG ~ review

i do tests lol minimum amount on per ad site like spend 200 bucks but spread over like 8 - 10 sites

Re: [REVIEW] Dowtown Toronto RPG ~ review

6/10

login page will look much better if you take out that fieldset and ingame the layout could need some spicing up, defiantly the side panel needs to be polished up, wider. etc...
