Title: What the hell is going on on the mainpage?
Post by: Totoro on Thu 01/04/2004 02:50:05
What the...?? Is the new homepage being uploaded and what I see now is just some kind of place-holder...or did someone hack the mainpage???

There's never a homepage, it's just been launched fresh.

No, that's the newest design.

I thought mine had won the contest, but CJ decided to use that one instead.

I think it's a better choice.

OK, maybe I am jsut drunk, but I thought it look different before...

Edit: OK, when thats the new design, I think the "screenshots" will be changed soon  :) And sentences like "The purpose of AGS is to make adventure games, flip out and kill people."  ::)

CJ is going in a whole new direction with AGS i guess. Sucks to be us.

It sucks though!! :-(

I think it's a remarkably dynamic design, with real appeal to the happening, hip, "now" Interweb surfer.

Post by: Squinky on Thu 01/04/2004 03:04:14
Hmmm, I guess this new page will apeal more to the mainstream, and sell more copy's of ags....

Title: Re:What the hell is going on on the mainpage?
Post by: Gilbert on Thu 01/04/2004 03:04:35
Why? AGS is going commercial, so the page has to go professional.

I love the new design of the page. It really gets into the spirit of adventure gaming. Just read the testimonial:

"Adventure games are sooooooooooo sweet that I want to crap my pants. (...) Adventure games are fast, smooth, cool, strong, powerful, and sweet."

Isn't it just what we're all looking for?
I believe this is the look the site should've had from the beginning.
And add more Mark photos, that will really increase the traffic to the site.

Wow! I don't use the ROFL acronym often, but, well, ROFL.

And if people actually fell for it, well, even more ROFL.

Thanks for the mention on the main page:

QuoteI can't wait to start playing Run Hot next year.

I've been trying to drum up more publicity, and this will help to keep the hype going! Thanks, CJ!!

Umm... have you been noticing people acting unusually today? Have people been telling you "news"? Lastly, were you wondering why it was so hard to put on your shoes when you got up this morning?

Indeed it does. In case you haven't noticed though, the world consists of various time zones, which means that one man's midday is another man's 2am.   :P

Midday, you came and went so quickly today.  I was hoping you would stick around a little longer to keep Nighttime away.

Hello, I was just thinking, I never went on the ags website on the 1st, and if ANYONE could check their temporary in internet files and send me a copy of the HTML file of the main page I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks in advance! (or maybe CJ would be kind enough...)
