Denny ... regarding phasing out the old Arcraetia site, I just want to go on record that the very first time I thought "Okay, I'll finally see what this is all about" I was mesmerized by the combo of music and graphics.

I'm a sucker for a good map, and you've made a fantastic one. And that music! I confess I immediately followed that link and tracked down a bunch more of his stuff and downloaded lots. It's what I play when I build terrain now.

So while you are going for the new website design, I hope that this one small corner of your online world can still maintain that WOW factor. The animated flashes of map and story timed to the cinematic music building to a creshendo. Just beautiful. If I could download and save that to my PC I would!

That's some good food for thought SG. Perhaps I'll just tweak the old promo page and update it a little. I am fond of that presentation but it didn't seem to get a big reaction at the time we launched it. I suppose it was a bit too early in the process but now that we have more modules in the pipe the page should do its job as intended.

Thank you for the insight.

I know this is going to sound like an odd request, but if, for whatever reason, you ever decide to trash the video and do something else, I'd like to request that you let me have the old flick. Not sure what I'd do with it, but it's just too cool to let fall by the wayside. If I could right-click and save target the thing now I would!

Trust me, I won't trash the old video I did for Arcraetia...it took forever to create The original intention for that page was to release monthly updates from Arcraetia in the form of little animated micro-stories which give more insight into the world. It's still a great concept but it's a bit ambitious for us given our thin resources. We'll have to see how 2007 pans out but I would like to try a move in that direction at some point.

If you want to save the movie you can right-click and "save as" the following link: http://www.worldworksgames.com/cat_images/arcpromo.swf

Muchas gracias mi amigo!!!

Of course, I now can't get shockwave to download to save my life, but that's MY problemo. Is shockwave something that only plays within a browser? Maybe that's the problem, because it plays beautifully when I'm online!
