Version 3 of the Day of the Aliens Official Website is finally complete. Go and see for yourself at http://www.dotagame.com .

The main advantages of this new version are:

-Much nicer design and layout
-Multiple colour schemes to choose from (more to be added soon)
-All pages re-coded and refined for optimum performance
-The forums and the main site both share the same header, making it easy to navigate between the two
-Different file names for each page
-All pages are valid xhtml and css Smile
-Site is now company-based rather than DOTA based.

We hope you enjoy the new site. There are still a few pages that need to be filled in or be added, but most of it is there. If you encounter any problems, report them here.

Go you!

Nice, it's much better Very Happy.

Glad you made it XHTML, in the end Razz.

For anyone who is interested in how well James scored in "Silktide Sitescore" (tests your site for coolness), click here:

http://www.silktide.com/index.php?node=18444&f2_url=www.dotagame.com

He got 8.7 out of 10 (which is very hard to get), and is very special Very Happy. More details on the page Wink

Yay!

Looks totally awesome Wink gj!
Will the address be renamed to "twistedmind.com" or "twistedmindgames.com" or something like that?

That costs money, although James could buy that as well Razz

Just saw a minor thing wrong with the the "welcome" text.
It says:

Quote:

Welcome to Digipix Studios. Our team is currently working on Day of the Aliens, a 2D graphical point-and-click adventure game.


when it should be:

Welcome to Twisted Mind Games ...

I'll look for more cases like these and point them out. That's what I'm good at Razz

*EDIT*
Already found a few other small ones,
On the "DOTA Information" page it says:

Quote:

Story-line: Your parents leave you to baby-sit your brother, but while he wanders outside, he is unexpectadly abducted by aliens!
....
A unique and gripping story line, spreading over three parts


Story-line is spelled Storyline Razz
It should be unexpectedly


On the "Donate" page it says:

Quote:

Make a donation to help keep the DOTA project alive. The money will be divided up - some use to pay for DOTA related expenses ...


Shouldn't this be used?

On the "Games" page, "click here" doesn't link to the right page.
It links to dota_information.php when it should link to dota_info.php

History page:

Quote:

...
It was pretty amatuer
...


I think in the context, it's used in it should be amateuristic

That's all I can see for now, when I see any more, I'll post them or just tell them to you on msnm

Thanks everyone. I fixed those typos Steve Smile.

And the latest update to the site is, now when you change style, it takes you back to the page you were last on, but with the new style. It uses php instead of Javascript now, and its so fast you barely notice Razz

I've added a new concept sketch by TheDon. To see it, refresh the index page until it becomes the featured piece of artwork. We have loads more that will be revealed when the media section opens Very Happy

He hasn't proven himself yet Razz. First he needs to get something done that will look good in-game.
