Plan for Jonathan Whitehead
by Jonathan Whitehead · 05/12/2001 (5:28 am) · 0 comments
www.cliffhangergames.com. Many thanks to those of you who have been giving me feedback and suggestions for the site. In particular, William, Phil and Chris. Thanks Guy's:)
This week I had talks with my local University (Teesside). It looks very probable that I'm going to be employing one of their Graduates to help with the site (thanks to a grants scheme). Also, I'm applying for an office in the Uni.s Innovation Building. This is a great High Tech. place to be and hosts the 'Virtual Reality Centre' which is a fantastic facility (I wrangle my way in to see it every chance I get!). Teesside UK is actually a great place to be if your into computer entertainment. The Uni. does degree courses in Games Design and 3D Animation. We even have Acclaim Studios (Turok, Shadowman ect.).
I had contact from Digitaltome during the week. They've assigned a member of their staff to help me update the game pages for 'Seige of Avalon'. It's this sort of help that reassures me that the July launch is still on target.
I'm hoping to start hearing from mod developers who would like their games featured on the site. With the ever increasing resources for modifications I'm sure we're going to see some of the greatest talents of the future coming in via this route.
I'm also thinking of using my game pages as 'portfolio' pages to promote your talents. E.g, the Main Game Page would be your resume and the individual Episode Pages would be samples of your work. The download link could be an email link to request your file if you don't have it uploaded somewhere.
What do you think?
