Website News!

Good good news!!!
After trying many hours learning about how to create websites, how to write in PHP and HTML, it became increasingly apparent that that what we were going into is a big fat juicy job.
So, my brother convinced me that we should pay someone else to do it.
This turns out to be a great idea, and allowing us to go even further with our ideas.
We are hoping to turn GPStudios.com into a great flash game arcade.
It's going to stand out from the rest. We're only going to feature the absolute best games we can find, not like most flash game arcades that put up any old shit and upload 50 games a week.
It's pointless in my eyes, when I see a website like that I just click right off. A good games arcade is one with good games, and for some reason there don't seem to be any out there.
The website layout is being deisgned at the moment, I've almost finished the first draft for all the pages.
Here's a snippet of the front page:
Leave comments on what you think.
The website layout at the moment is admittedly a frankenstein made of all our favourite flash game websites (Kongregate, Newgrounds, Armorgames, Bubblebox and a bit of Addictinggames)

Other features of this website at the moment are:
Game reviews - where one of us (me or my brothers) write a lengthy review on the most recent games.
Blog - This blogspot tool will not be needed anymore unfortunately, but we'll have a new blog in http://www.gpstudios.com/.
Forum, Random Games, Top 50 games, and all the other usual stuff.

The Tower defense game is going well too.
Plot hasn't been decided yet, but there are some ideas floating around right now about the Holy Grail.
The Tower Defense game is also going to stand out from the rest hopefully.
It's a melding of 2 genres, tower defense and Age Of Empires strategy.
On the map there will be resources, and you'll need to build tiny roads (seperate to the road the monsters come) to get to them, and you'll send villagers to these places to gather food, wood, gold or stone.
You'll also be able to build alot of buildings. Towers will be empty at first when you build them, but then you can send archers, bombers, or sorcerors to attack from them.

Great idea, huh?
One last thing, leave some comments, they're nice to read :)

And if you haven't signed up to the forum yet, please do!

God! Todays a nice day here in the South West of England, first proper summer day in... Well about 10 months :P

Bye!

GP Studios Forum Beta!

A Forum has been set up for GP Studios!
Click the forum link at the top of the blog or click http://www.gpstudios.com/forum
Register, become a member and chat with others, do what ever you want!

The forum has just today been set up, so it is currently in it's beta stage.
In the future expect it to change shape and transform into a glorious and unique looking thing!
But for now it's all average looking and serves very little purpose :)
Anyway, sign up and get talking.

Also, here's a screenshot of what the tower defense game looks like so far:
Pretty rough! Don't worry though, just like the forum this'll develop into something beautiful!
Enjoy!

Game & Website Updates!

Well, unfortunately the past 2 weeks have been filled to the brim with nothing.

In terms of game development I've done very little. On the other hand, the GP Studios website is coming along. I don't know when it'll be up, but hopefully something will be up within the next 30 days.


I think the game I'm in the middle of development (pictured above) is going to have to go on the backburner for now. It's going to take such a long time to finish, and right now I just want to see what I can do within a month.

The idea I've got at the moment is to create a tower defense game. The only problem is that I can't think of anything to seperate it from the crowd. Some ideas would be helpful :)

Hopefully sometime next week I'll have some interesting new pictures to show you on the up and coming game!

Keep checking out the blog :)
