Grey Alien Games is 2 years old!

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Grey Alien Games is 2 years old!

I had to renew my www.greyaliengames.com and .co.uk domains today, so that means my site is 2 years old! Yay :-) I originally made it in Nov 2005 so that I had some kind of reference site for when people bought Xmas Bonus from the publisher or portals. In Dec 2006 I revamped the site for the launch of my independently published game Holiday Bonus and because I started selling Xmas and Easter bonus myself, rather than via a publisher.

I've added quite a few Blitz games and also some Reflexive affiliate titles, but it's quite a few months out of date now due to me working frantically on my current game.

The next phases is to move away from manually created pages (how lame) and have auto-generate pages via PHP and MYSQL. Then I'll have a special Blitz Games page and will be adding lots more! I'll probably do this in December, and announce it then. Watch this space...

Happy 2nd Birthday..

Hey! Congratulations!

HEY JAKE - Congratulations - Yahoo!

IPete2.

Can we give you the bumps?

Congrats.

A suggestion for automated page/shop is to use suit made in php which works as auto shop like:

http://www.zencart.com/

http://www.oscommerce.com/

I tried these 2 and they works well, free and open sourced.

Certainly done a lot of games there!

happy B'day Jake! ;)

Thanks All! :-)

Thanks Yoko. I'll probably actually get someone I know to code the auto-page creation for me as I don't need the shop capabilities. It should be a quick job and I hope to "figure" out the code so I can modify it myself later if need be.

MrTAToad: They are not all mine. Everything on the Free page is and also 4 of the games on the Main Page (Xmas Bonus, Easter Bonus, Holiday Bonus, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz).

Congratulations, although i think you're looking older than just that.

Congrats Jake, the hard work seems to be paying off.

Congratulations and keep good work up :)

I am sure you will be upgrading the blitzmax game framework wink

Thanks all!

Hotshot2005: Yep, I'll be releasing V1.05 in December too (after I've released my latest game)

Congrats on that :-)

Cool, congrats! Are making a (even half-decent) living with your thingies?

well done Mr Alien!

Indeed, congrats!

Are making a (even half-decent) living with your thingies?
Yep for sure. My games bring in some OK money (would be fine if I was single and living in a different country), but the real earner is the game I'm programming for Big Fish Games under contract.
