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 :)
