Dizzy Stories
Over the last 2 days i have been working on a website to promote not just CoTM, but all of my games. I've now got it to a point where, while not quite completely finished, it's finished enough for me to show it off.
It's called Dizzy Stories, and the intention is to make it the place to go for anything to do with any of my games.
any comments are very welcome.

well legals and technical stuff aside [cause i know nothing where thats concerned] I LIKE IT
Hard work has a future payoff. Lazyness pays off NOW.
looks good
Its always the cracked ones that let the light in
Looks brilliant, will have a better look when I get more time. But will defo donate cause I love all your games and the hard work you put in in making them. Keep up the good work and look forward to your next game

Wow, it's already looking really great. Love what you've done with the title. Bookmarked
It's great to have something like this, because although each game is independent of the previous one it's nice to be able to play them in some kind of order and see how they progress, or check out recurring themes and characters used by a particular author, and with your site that's now so easy to do with your games
It would be cool if in the future we can leave small comments and ratings on each game's page.
unfortunately i'm not using a database (costs money, more complex to code etc etc), so the site doesn't have any user-changeable content. (apart from the download counts, which i implemented in an old, backwards way)Originally Posted by Mataeus

No biggie, we can always rate them on here anyway. Once again, great work on the site!
Wow looks great Jamie.
I look forward to visiting this site regularly.
I think its real positive that we'll have an extra forum that promotes Dizzy as well as your other projects also. it would also be a good place to attract your next gen of beta testers :P
A real success story
Just imagine if other developers also set up their own websites - we'd have Dizzy appearing all over the net - Wonderful - and it'll mean that visitors to those sites will hear about Yolkfolk too
The only thing Id suggest is maybe you could suggest a recccomended donation amount and have some blurb about what its for ie along the line you dont get paid for this but if someone wanted to show their appreciation, you accept gratuities...?
The other thing I miss, and its silly really, but on the forums you have little icons below your name, and when new ones appear with just letters and a big '?' i feel a sense of expectation and mystery about future surprises - maybe you can do something to that effect in your upcoming section???
All in all - I love it!!!

Ah sorry - I just saw the 'Why donate' - that explains my q.
Oh and as a website its great - clean, simple and each page is just the right size!
btw, i noticed the copyright at the bottom - is it actually copyrighted?
Great site Jamie, anything you do is usually quality though. Like the look of it.
