Plan for Jonathan Whitehead

The 'Cliffhanger Games' site provides a service to Episodic Game Developers by providing them with a 'front end' to the target audience.

Yep, still on target for a mid July launch (and, yep, still viewable right now for your testing, comments and any other feedback at www.cliffhangergames.com.

I'd appreciate any ideas for a launch event. I'm toying with the idea of giving away a Geforce 3 for the 12000th visitor. However, I'm not sure about the best way to work this. The site has an email registration for update notification when selected episodes are added. Maybe I could modify this to notify me when the 12000th person has registered?

I received a data file from Digital Tome www.digitaltome.com with lots of content to help me construct the Episode Pages of their current excellent offering 'Seige of Avalon'. I'll be starting on these pages straight away.

I'm employing somebody soon to help administer the site. Also, next week, I'm presenting my business idea to a panel at Teesside University. If they like it, I'll be given a free office in the high tech Innovation Building with computer and ISDN also free for up to 3 years!

I had trouble with my connection this week. It makes me feel very vunerable to realise how dependent internet sites are on others to maintain our 'life-line' to the world.

Remember:
If you have any news that is appropriate for the site, it will be posted on the front page credited to your name (where mine appears now).

Also, if you'd like to publish a review, interview or any other article get in touch.

And of course, if you've got a 'Pilot Episode' of your Game, we will give it a Main Game Page and subsequent Episode Pages. Don't worry if it's not the best game ever. The episodic concept allows you to develop with time (just look at the earliest episodes of your favourite TV programs).

Best Wishes for all your Ventures
Jonathan
