Web site (Home Page) looks fantastic!

[100Coogn]

Wow.  Touchy.    I was thinking you would have seen Hitech Creations Home Page under the Home button you were using to try and get to the main page after I said something.  It may be that you are using a different forum color scheme than me though.

My apologies Volron.  That was an asinine reply on my behalf.

Must not be too bad, it took the third page this time before people started whacking away on Hitech.

Anyone want to start a pool on how many pages AH3 will be liked before the rest turn into attacks on Hitech for any and all reasons?

It looks like the new forums game has gone from personal character assassination trolling, to whacking Hitech for not making your personal dreams come true. But, that last game finally got out of hand with the 12 hour rule rebellion.

Hope you guys aren't so far gone with your ding Hitech addiction that this doesn't drive away customers. The 12 hour rule rebellion guys all swore they were only trying to help Hitech see the light and improve the game like many of you will argue. For some reason, all of those highly intelligent grown men forgot they had the personal freedom to vote with their feet. Instead they acted like someone was holding a gun to their heads and that justified the rebellion.

My bet for the pool - 2 pages.

Completely agree with Bustr, yall are like some middle school kids just trying to bash anything that they do.

Then you wonder why there is no one wanting to play the game...

At first I was like "What the Sam Hill are you guys on about?"

Then I saw, and I was like "Wow, HTC just took several levels in badass."

[SilverZ06]

Skuzzy, don't forget to change the webpage icon. Right now it shows as S5 instead of the htc icon. The forum web page icon is correct, the home page is not.

New page looks great! Really a great improvement.

Just a suggestion though. for whatever its worth. I think it might be better to have some "Wow Cool!" action shot as the lead off visual first thing you see as opposed to the sneak peak

As a couple of examples





And intro video or series of clickable videos that are activity specific  wouldnt be a bad idea either. Doesnt have to be long
Something like this only running about 30 seconds



But not one of those all inclusive videos like the commercial was

It's ok I guess. Not in the same league as other game sites though, not even small indie games. It is not so much the functionality of the site, but the apparent lack of professional design. I'm sure it's not a priority, nor should it be at this point IMHO.

The new AH site doesn't look all that different than WT's or WoWP's site, very similar to both of those game sites.

As I said. The new HTC site looks great. FANTASTIC even compared to the old. It just needs a bit more WOW.

We have some very talented film makers here. Im not one of them. But I know they are here.
Im sure someone here can come up with something

Web design, like any design, is a matter of personal taste. The websites of WoWP and WT have better overall design, but for a simple aviation themed site I think Rise of Flight has the best. It is simple, but has a clean professional look.







A truly awesome game site like https://robertsspaceindustries.com is not even comparable, but nor should it be. Roberts probably has 10 or more (probably more) people working exclusively on keeping it updated and running.

[PR3D4TOR]

Both WT and WoWP have artists working exclusively on the promotional art used on their sites and in videos. Compared to these other companies HTC seems long on what is needed for making a game, but short on marketing. Which is very typical for small developers.

[Oldman731]

but for a simple aviation themed site I think Rise of Flight has the best.

Agreed.

It is so good that I hunted down the music that plays for the trailer.

It is so good that I sent it to my kids as an example of what I thought a great ad should be.

In fact, it is so good that I downloaded the game, but have never been able to figure out how to set up the hat switch views and so never really played it.

Let me guess... Two Steps From Hell?



My favorite is this one:

This is undoubtedly an improvement.
