Re: [DM-dev] web site overhaul?

[Henningsen <pe...@al...>]

I had by coincidence just visited your new QUB website and was very
impressed. That looks way cool. I even voted (I think it is properly
pronounced Kju Ju Bee). Thanks for making the offer.

Right now I think the DungeonMaker does not really warrant that type of
website, there's just not enough interest to keep it lively. However, when
we are further along and have things of interest to gamers (and not just to
developers as is the case now) I think it would be cool to get a site like
that. I'm planning to write my demo game such that scores can be verified,
and it would be possible to post a ranking of the worldwide best MazeRunners
to the net. That would be so cool.

But until then (or until you have an interactive design frontend that would
make the program interesting to pen and paper gamers) let's just stick with
the simple site.

Thanks again,
Peter
