NEW WWG Website Launch Party!

Gamesmith Denny · **Posted:** 10-04-2006, 09:11 PM

The new WorldWorks website and storefront has gone GOLD! www.worldworksgames.com A BIG fat thankyou goes out to Robby, Aubrey, Peter and the rest of the crew for offering some amazing support and service along the way. Robby, the code master helped make all my crazy ideas come to life with a level of patience rivaling that of Yoda himself! Aubrey helped get a boat load of kitbash files reorganized and Peter kept my designs in check. Everyone else played defense and helped weed out as many problems as possible before launch.

Before we get into all the exciting changes on our new website don't forget to check out our two latest blockbuster releases:

ShadowCore Prime (Bio-organic Spaceship Insanity!): http://worldworksgames.com/store/index. ... cts_id=140

Missing Persons (The next amazing installment in our Dark Spiral Series): http://worldworksgames.com/store/index. ... cts_id=139

Give the new site a tour and you'll see that we stripped everything down and made it a much more pleasant and focused experience. Here's some highlights:

* New topbar navigation with incredible single click catalog! Everything is organized in one spot

* Rotating front page content. Click refresh or visit daily for new content. Spotlights and product highlights change on each and every visit!
* Simplified 'Work in Progress' meter. Only the top 4 release candidates shown at one time. Sure we have more projects than that on the go but we won't bore you with that until they are closer to launch.
* User Build Spotlight back on the main page! Highlighting the WorldWorks communities brightest building superstars!
* Aubrey Erickson's very own Kitbash Homepage. Everything broken down into one easy to swallow format with release commentary and newest product links. You'll never be in the dark again on the Kitbash front! http://worldworksgames.com/store/index. ... ge=kitbash
* Product & Bash pages redefined. Everything has had a serious makeover to get you the information you want and need to make a more informed buying decision.
* 'Recommended' & 'Strongly Recommended' product listings on every page. These little side-bars offer helpful suggestions on which products we feel work best together.
* And coming up in the near future we'll have fully integrated 2Checkout support. We had some unfortunate issues with 2Checkout code that we are still working hard to resolve.

I hope you enjoy the new WorldWorks site as much as we enjoyed creating it! We've got some amazing projects in the works and we needed this new treatment in place to make it all happen. The rest of 06 promises to be a truly exciting period for WWG. Can't wait for 2007

As always we thank you for your support and enthusiasm!

Denny

A lot of work from Denny and Robby went into making the new site rock, and I hope you guys like it! :mrgreen:

I've gotta give you props, this site is AWESOME. Great job robby and Denny. My favourite new bit is prolly the rotating banner, it just adds a level of detail and professionalism that is lacking in many sites. I was suprised to find relatively few problems and linking issues (all of which I reported to Aubrey). Again, this is HELLA cool.

Very nice

I just did a quick check, looking for bugs and such. The only thing I noticed (and this may just be my pc) is that the under-the-line letters in the products listing are chopped off. For instance, the "g" in Dungeon and the "y" in Chunky.

Again, that might be a resolution setting on my pc and nothing to do with you.

Quick question though. One feature I really liked before were the photos that you guys called Wallpaper. There was an easy one-click button that would let us download the photos. That's gone. And now I see that the standard format for a product is 6 photos (which can be clicked and enlarged). The one kit I just checked to see how it looked was PCON and before there were 12 photos.

Am I missing something, or did you guys really cut it back (probably all kits back) to 6 photos now? Just wondering.

Kudors to all involved. The new site looks great.

Okay, I believe I fixed the problem, and fixed any orders placed since last night. Please take a look.

IF YOU STILL ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS: Please PM Denny or I, or both ASAP. We'll fix it.

That was SO COOL Robby!!!

I've never even heard of that archive before. How do sites get backed up in that application? Is it an active thing (somebody actually clicks some buttons and deliberately backs things up) or is it passive (perhaps you subscribe to it and it backs things up when stuff changes)?

Neato.

MUCH cleaner site. Nice job!

Well done guys.

Am downloading at present, so the shop seems to work OK. I'll post any bugs if I can find them, but it looks as if QA did a good job
