Launching my new website, www.gamesbrief.com

Valiance The Vanguards Darkwind Guru Civs Faction Group: Storytellers Posts: 1,175 Joined: Jan 15, 2008 Hello, I'm launching my new website today, a blog on the business of games. You can find it at www.gamesbrief.com It's really about analysing where the games industry is going, the new business models and sources of funding. Plus I track how many games have been lost in the games industry so far this job (250 or so in core development, thousands more if you include retail and distribution) Would welcome any thoughts or feedback. Plus feel free to follow any ads that interest you :-) ......................... vet combat1 wv ped1 northernsummer Posted Jan 21, 2009, 2:42 pm

You've got quite a lot of content in there already.. I hope it goes well for you!.. I wouldn't mind your opinion on google-ads type stuff actually.. would it be worth putting them on this site? ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jan 21, 2009, 3:51 pm Last edited Jan 21, 2009, 3:52 pm by *sam*

Valiance The Vanguards Darkwind Guru Civs Faction Group: Storytellers Posts: 1,175 Joined: Jan 15, 2008 Sam, I think that the answer is yes, and we could also show ads for in-game activities using the same technology (Although, as you know, I'd love to streamline the whole site at the same time) @Grograt: if someone wants to design some pretty ads (formats I use: 300x250, 728x90, 120x600; other useful formats:160x600, 468x60, 125x125) and Sam wants to make it so I can pass through my ID and get game credits for everyone who signs up, I think that's a very good idea (and of course, those ads can be used anywhere, not just on my site) ......................... vet combat1 wv ped1 northernsummer Posted Jan 21, 2009, 4:28 pm

BWGunner has some good ideas about the way stuff should be laid out too, and desolatordan's next big job will be overhauling the graphics to support the redesign. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jan 21, 2009, 4:35 pm

Valiance The Vanguards Darkwind Guru Civs Faction Group: Storytellers Posts: 1,175 Joined: Jan 15, 2008 Unfortunately I don't have space for a 468x60, but others might. Sam, is there a link you could give us know - perhaps a parameter where we can insert our code to get a credit - or is this still something that is work in progress. ......................... vet combat1 wv ped1 northernsummer Posted Jan 21, 2009, 5:11 pm
