BIG NEWS! New Wonderland Game!

Post by **Midnight Synergy** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 9:03 pm

For those of you interested in the gradual rollout of Wonderland (or if you're just bored):

1. It's listed on download.com now:
http://www.download.com/Wonderland-Secr ... ag=lst-0-5

2. We've created a new ad campaing - you can see one of the examples in action on www.gametunnel.com (an Indie gaming site, in case you're not familiar with it). It's the top banner ad, but you might have to press refresh a few times to see it (there's several different ads featured).

Just thought some people might get a chuckle out of it.

Just saw them, I added my own review in download.com and the banner is very nice.

BTW, is it ok if I submit the Secret Worlds demo (!!!) to some other popular downloads website?

Banner's very nice, Patrick; I've downloaded a copy for posterity.

The banner is really cool! I tried to right click save - but it wouldn't let me

Good luck with the marketing - I noticed 300 downloads already

Glad you guys liked the banner. I will likely find a spot to put these kinds of things up in case anyone wants to save or view them later.

No, please don't... such submissions should be done by the developer. If there's a big download site that you'd like to see the demo on though, you can certainly post about it here. Thanks for the offer, though.

Lillian, you can't grab a Flash movie like that, but there are other methods.

With your permission, Patrick, is it OK for me to send the banner to Lillian and anyone else who wants it by PM?

Congratulations on your latest effort. I have been playing this version for a week now and am enjoying not only the challenges but the variations.

Just like the rest of us Dominique.

Housework is becoming obsolete in Wonderland.

lgrapes · Post by **lgrapes** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 12:45 pm

You know everyone keeps referring to this thing called...Housework

Is that the correct way to spell it...What is it? Am I missing out on something? My husband says he doesn't know what it is either...

I think they're planning on a review (I didn't pay for one though - maybe it's included in the ad?). I wouldn't call them harsh, I would call them realistic.

A lot of games out there aren't worth your time, I'd rather have a review tell me that up front (I hate inflated scores in many print magazines were every game gets 8/10 or above). Obviously I hope that they think Wonderland is fun.

But if it's not the reviewer's cup of tea, then that's life.

BTW, I've uploaded your 1280x1024 'patch'... I didn't make this an official patch, since this is just very rough. It's just a single .exe (for the full version) that defaults to 1280x1024 Full Screen, rather than going through the options screen. Eventually I'll put in the new resolution in the options screen, but it'll be a while (fighting the case of the never-shrinking to-do list). Until then, here is that version: www.midnightsynergy.com/secretworlds/secret12801024.exe

(btw, you can of course also play in a lower resolution windowed on your Flat-Screen without distortion etc... so this is just if you want fullscreen).

Hey, since you're looking around on various indy sites and forums etc, are you doing some game development of your own?

EDIT: Oops, I had the wrong URL, editor now.
