Copy Please?

Landfish · 2000-08-28T18:17:41

I have a favor that I would like to ask of our design forum regulars. I know I''m the first to denounce those guys who post Help Wanteds in the Design Forum, but if I put this anywhere else, it won''t get seen by the people I need. As many of you know, the website of my group, Landfish.com, has been in development for as long as I''ve been coming to GDNet. We''ve designed it four times, and scrapped four designs, losing months of work in the process. We want to get it JUST right. In the end, we want the website to be more than just another gamedeveloper''s website. We want people to be able to go there to rant about stuff, to share ideas, to get involved. Or to denounce me on my home turf, fine whatever... But our latest (and greatest) design includes copy, or testaments from various people about how cool we are. But we don''t have any copy. So I want to get some from you guys at GDNet, under whatever professional names you go by. Now, I''m not asking anyone to be dishonest and say that we''ve made great games or anything; we haven''t. But the premise for the website is ideas. My team is freakin full of ideas... very different ideas. You''ve seen alot of that through me on this very site. Can you guys just reply here with what you think of the posts I''ve made and the ideas I''ve shared/taken from all all of you (and give me permission to quote you on a website with your real name and company title?) Try to make it sound like a review for a movie or something. This might be viewed by venture capital, so keep it serious (kinda...) Thank you in advance to anyone who does. Thankyou thankyou thankyou. I really need this to make the site work. ====== "The unexamined life is not worth living." -Socrates "Question everything. Especially Landfish." -Matt

OK... then I append my quotes, and extend my welcome to you "friend of landfish"

.

"From what I have seen of Landfish, there are some pretty whacky things going on over there. If the kind of inspirational posts that come out of the Landfishian mind are anything to go by, it will be well worth your time to see what they have to offer... Did I mention that the Landfish are crazy!.. Just kidding"

Is that the kind of stuff you are after? It is 100% truth as well

"Gaming needs Landfish like fish need bicycles. Landfish, that is. How else would they get around?"

"If they had as many answers as they had questions, I wouldn''t question the answers."

But seriously

"Landfish isn''t always right. It''s MUCH more than that."

Are these the kinds of things you''re looking for?

"Landfish, Mohammed, has nobody noticed the resemblance? I haven''t, but it was a nice comment to make."

"Goblins of the world, Unite!"

Give me one more medicated peaceful moment.

Guys...these are all great! Just wanted to throw in another word, before I head to bed...ahh...the wonders of working an 11PM-8am job

I''ll be collecting these on an ongoing basis, and when the site is ready to go up (hopefully soon...as Landfish said, we''ve been through umpteen designs and redesigns, but this one is going to stick), we''ll pick a bunch and put them up, probably in a rotating, one per page type thing, where a new one shows up with each page reload. But you''ll have to wait for the site for that

I''m sure herr-direktor will be mighty pleased when he gets back from his week-long hiatus.

Keep up the good work guys, and again, thanks a lot!
