Just curious what your website plans are for CE. Right now this is a studio website, and it is great. Often as studios diversify, they usually split their websites up into different sections to handle the players to different games. Others move their content off onto different webpages dedicated to individual games. Since you guys have clockworkempires.com domain waiting, I would guess that any new content would go there (Tentative plans, screenshots, game information, teaser information, latest updates, etc). Would that be correct? Is the pending milestone mentioned in the Roadmap by Nicholas going to be released as just another blog post or is it going to go on clockworkempires.com? I would think that, to drum up even more excitment, having a localized webpage where everyone (who doesn't already live in these forums) who was interested could get all the information they needed would be a good thing. Finally, if all the CE content were localized on that domain, what will happen with dredmor? I can see it continually surviving just fine like this, although you guys might want to consider giving it a bit of a web presence similar to what (I imagine) CE is going to get. Nicholas talked about opening up the Code, and while that is exciting in some aspects, I think the game has a lot of life left, And while I don't have steam numbers, there is still a huge, potentially untapped market out there (Yesterday). Maybe you guys haven't figured this out yet, Maybe it is low priority. I am just curious.
Short answer: yes. A new Dredmor site is on the cusp of launch, though it's largely static, the goal being to act as a better front-end & store for The Curious than the current dungeonsofdredmor.com site. We're keeping a unified community forum of course and are looking into how to better integrate appropriated tagged blog posts and the relevant section of the forum into the new CE site design. That's all in the planning stages, so don't expect a roll-out for a while.
Yay Yay Yay! You don't know how excited I am about this. Of course I have to admit, I have never been to the dundgeonsofdredmor.com site before, didn't even know it existed. And I am not a twitter user, so I rarely think to check it, but every time I do I realize I am missing out. Maybe you guys can include in the restructure some twitter feeds right on the page. Knowing that you are working on fungus is actually cool, as does the all females named Otis bug. P.S. Are these like Fungus people or like fungus growing on a fallen log in the woods fungus? Edit: And for the record. I Almost bought DoD three times from steam from accidently stumbling across it. But each time, the steam page wasn't quite enough to sell it. Only until the Humble Bundle did I actually buy it, and then because I could pay 5 bucks for a bunch of games. And it was FAR better than I would have ever dreamed. A better front end could be amazing from a sales point of view.
