Trade Links?

** Who wants to trade links? **

So I asked this before as part of the thread about my new site but didn't seem to get many takers.

I'll put yours on here, with a picture/banner too (if it's good) http://www.greyaliengames.com/links.php

Once my site is up I'd be glad to become an affiliate.

Stupid web design taking forever...grumble....grumble...mumble...grr...

blame the web designer ;-) Yeah sure, when it's done, I owe you one anyway.

I'll add you to my links page with a text link. Please add a text link to www.eiksoft.com.

*edit*
Done. My links are on the 'misc' tab.

I made a banner, www.eiksoft.com/banner.png

do you have a banner?

Eikon, cool thanks. I'll add your banner now. (btw it's quite large at 27K png, any chance of making a high quality jpg?)

Here's mine:

or this one



[url]http://www.greyaliengames.com/images/banner2.png[/url]

Which do you prefer? I think the first is more simple but the second says what I do, although that could be infered from the name of course.

If you don't use the banner, is it possible to add "download free games and demos" to the text link? thanks.

Adding yours now... DONE

I will add a link :-) Not sure i'd like mine spread around right now though, it'll chomp on my puny connection. I'll keep you informed on that front ;)

cool a link for free, can't complain :-D !

Cyg: made some more sales today, wasn't you was it?

I love your second banner, Grey Alien. Very nice looking.

Thanks Kuron. All you need now is a website and you can *own* it :-)

I have a site, but it is not remotely gaming or programming related. Otherwise I would link to you ;c)

Grey, not yet it wasnt.

[edit]

£12.16? yeah :P Why that Vat man, Why I oughta!!!!#

[edit2]

I had purchased it at that point!

YAY woo a fellow forum member bought it! :-D Thanks dude. (Now I gotta work on Steve Elliot (I think) who said he had to wait for payday ...) So you got charged some VAT on the £12.16? Shame that we have to give stuff away to the government at every turn, oh well suppose it pays for *some* useful stuff like the crumbling NHS.

Hi Grey,
Here is a jpg of the banner
eiksoft.com/banner.jpg

I've added your second banner to my links page.

Thanks.

i need to do major work on my site, maybe even start over. I will probably do this once i finish the project(s) i am working on now, after that i would be glad to swap with ya. Your game is sweet looking, Havent had time to try it yet but want to. Downlaoded the demo a while ago.

Thanks Eikon.

n8r2k: OK let me know when you site is ready. Checkout my game soon, it's addictive!

Im going to sort a link section out for my site fairly soon (going to remove the aboutUs page since it doesnt really apply these days ^_^)

wanna trade? :)

yep, when you are done, let me know ... don't forget!

Are you working on pioneer now then?

I think that's the first time it's actually been named on this board.

Have you got anything smaller? Like the size of the one in your sig perhaps?

I wish I was still working on Pioneer...I think i lost most of it in a hdd crash a couple of weeks ago :( :( I havn't had a go at recovering the old drive yet...I dont really want to let go of the hope ;)

Ive still got most of the artwork and models since it wasnt packed though...It all got a bit out of hand tbh but I plan to resurrect it once ive had a little success with something smaller-scale (like, uh, pushy! :D )

You dare, After all the help I gave you! >:P

I can see that perhaps a re-write in Max or something nicer than Blitz would be good- Open it's future up a bit!

yeah, It would have been a lot easier in max thats for sure! Plus Ive learnt a bit more since i started...

I was hoping for the 3D module to come out first, but I might just do it all in 2D instead now... It would certainly run faster ^_^

The other thing i thought of doing was releasing it episodically (is that even a word?)...not sure though yet, Im going to finish my next casual game before making any solid decisions I reckon.

It'd be pretty easy to do it in 3D still.... :)

FlameDuck: I can make one the same height-ish but it'll still be wider. Would this be OK, or do you need smaller? I'm worried that the UFO will look crap(er) any smaller. You could just cut out the Grey Alien Games text (ignoring the logo) to reduce the size (leave a half decent dark blue border). And then we are in business! :-)

Aymes: Sorry to hear that. I have two drives and backup to the second one frequenty.

Grey Alien: If I had a gaming related site, I would link to you, but I would only use a button. Here is a button version of your banner

I see, shame the font is not the same, but I could fix that.

Grey, I've put a link up on my site to you... however... not used your banner images at all... don't do it I'm afraid.

http://www.mentalillusion.co.uk/links.php

Here's my banner if you fancy using it.

OK thanks Rob, I'll do it later (EDIT: DONE). "Interesting" uh description there. Actually it sounds like you also looked at JBComputerSolutions.com based on your write up.

Oh, what little one liner do you want under your name link (like the other ones on my links page)? Or nothing? It would be more in keeping if you have a one-liner (non rude for my site please ;-)).

I'll let you choose:

* Game programming * 3D Modelling * 2D Design * Web Design * Free Stuff *

Free Hardcore Porn

*** Free sex with JB here ***

lol! hmm, it' a hard one, ... sorry. um "* Game programming * 3D Modelling * 2D Design * Web Design * Free Stuf *" is a bit long, lemme try it. What could you cut out?

actually it's fine, I removed the stars (sorry), take a look.

Hey I actually earnt some money from my google ads today, wow.

Drop 2D design and Game Programming if necessary...

Make sure Free Stuff has two Fs at the end! :)


Just a something... Would it not be better with the text under the banner rather than above... it just 'feels' wrong to me.

I could try it under ... sometime ... I know what you are saying.

i just tried easter bonus. YOur right. its totally addictive. I have played games similar to it, but this is so much more energetic and has way better graphics and gameplay. I might consider springing to buy the full version :)

n8r2k: wow thanks for the positive feedback. I really think I got it feeling quick and slick too, add in the addictiveness and cool graphics and you have a great game imho. I hope that other people see this too when it's on the big portals. Look forward to receiving your sale, 110 levels await you :-) tell your friends and family too, thanks :)

Grey: Just out of interest, what happens after completing level 110? Or, is level 110 impossible to beat? :P

no it's not impossible, it's a wine glass, perhaps encouraging the player to take drugs (actually a glass of wine fits in with the demographic of the target audience) and then you get a game finished screen with animation and music and can enter your score. I didn't spend ages on it, cos not many people will see it, but it's OK.

Anyway, you TOO can see it, just buy the game, write off 2 days (or maybe 1 if you are really good) so you can play it solidly until you win ;-)

Hey GA, added you in my new links page! My banner is located here:
[url]http://www.thephorse.net/thephorsebanner.jpg[/url]

Any particular caption you want btw?

LOL. I get paid Friday...

twiddling my thumbs ... :-) nah seriously *NO PRESSURE* haha. ;-)

Aymes: OK cool, I do yours tomorrow now. Text uh don't need any, banner is cool thanks. btw is the menu on your website supposed to have a different font in some of the boxes? Also what one liner do you want with your link on my page?

Heh, I did the original buttons ages ago and forgot what font i did them in...I'll probably revisit them soon anyway, they're not too different i reckon...

Uhm, caption...probably something like "Innovative puzzle games for the soul" would be good :D

ok will do it now... DONE

Bought your game as promised Grey! :-D

top man! I just saw an extra sale and did wonder, it being Friday and all. Thanks. ANyway I really hope you enjoy it. It is a cool game, very addictive so watch out. If you get stuck ask me for help :-) thanks again. Now tell your friends and family!
