Cool, Still waiting for the demo (alpha) version of this one, although my only criticism would be the dungeon maker logo. You cant really read it unless you know what is says :wink: Just a personal opinion though.

What does anyone else think?

Other than that, great looking game and congratulations for getting this far? Are you going to try and get published or is it going to be shareware/freeware, etc?

Cheers,
A

Any better now or is it just the font that makes it hard to read?

Just updated my website, now you can see some of the items / monsters we are using in the game (and why we need help with the graphics)

Anyway latest news is on the front page so refresh if it doesnt look any different.

Its much better now, but the first letters are really hard to read, I mean the font rathher than anything else I think.

Maybe on a slightly darker background?

I like the looks so far - you have quite a mix there with the different monsters ;o) What is the third column supposed to be for in this section? Stats?

Actually its kinda like you gotta step back to read it. Its really Kind of nice but at first glance I think for those that don't grasp things quickly it might take a look or two.

The flame of the torch looks very nice, iron top of it is a little too shiny for my taste. Items look good, the contents of the potion flask remind me a little of the surface of some planet. In general I'd go for less shiny objects but rather make some of them look a little worn - not like they have been bought newly and placed in a dungeon like a museum (crown!).

Sorry to mess everyone around with this, I've just changed server and now have a wopping 2GB webspace to play with so i can host large files :) anyways due to the change ive re done the forums with a new board and it no longer uses phpbb but this board lets you upload files with your posts which will be handy for us.

Maybe when the next release of phpbb comes out ill switch back, but anyways please take a look at let me know what you think, and cowsmanaut if you need any files hosting let me know, im sure we wont be need all that space just yet :)

The webpage is lookign good, pity there is still alot of holes with the items linls, etc

I must admit until i read the faq, etc i hadn#'t realised how many subtle mechanics were being built into the game, such as objects with savings throws for being thrown on various surfaces, etc : )

The forum link threw me back here though, and not even to this topic...what happened to the new forums?

If people don't want to visit...?

You only gave it a day! That doesn't mean people aren't interested. You gotta remember that it often takes people a while to get into using a new forum. Remember the slow start here or on DMWeb?

Part of the problem is that people have limited time. I would guess that many of those who visit these forums simply don't have the time to go to another messageboard to trawl through another 12 or so forums.

People are interested -- I've taken a look at the site and enjoyed the new pics of the 3d monsters. I just didn't feel the need to post a comment.

Be patient! ;)

@Beowuuf: You mentioned about the Dungeon maker forums link coming back here. My fault, I hadn't updated the quick links with the new url, after it was changed a second time.

This will also explain why there haven't been many responses on the DunMak forums!

Sorry about that! It should all be fixed now.
