Grab.com - July 2005

[Hamumu]

I found the Grab hoops pretty overwhelming myself (and count me in to the enormous list of people offended by "homemade"). I would LOVE to see PAD support. I just don't understand why any site wouldn't have it! Also, the highly specific image sizes are really weird. Why not resize the images for me?

I submitted my game million times about several months ago ( yeah i hit the publish button ) & of course didnt get published until now , guess Grab doesnt like homemade game made entirely by poor quality microsoft paint & midi music .

Duke - I have to saw Crime Puzzle looks amazing - Congratulations!

I'm curious how big your dev team is and if you did the art for the game?

THanks!

THanks!

Thank you!
The Paprikari are basically two people: my partner the graphic artist and me the programmer.
He did the art, and we outsourced music and sfx.
I believe that in our next game (the one we're just starting out these days) the graphics are going to be even nicer than in Crime Puzzle.
Hearing from the colleagues here how many of them have hard time finding the right artist for the job, I feel so lucky to have such a talented artist for my partner.

By the way, Duke, on your web site the screenshot thumbnails link to the thumbnails themselves instead of the bigger images (those that don't start with "thumb_").

Hmm. Yes, at least that's what it says in the status bar.
But when I click on the thumb, the correct (bigger) screenshot is displayed.
Is this also the case with you?
I'll have to talk to our webmaster about this.
Thanks for pointing it out.

No, I actually get the thumbnail. I'm using Firefox, maybe you're using javascript or something that doesn't work as expected on my browser.

EDIT: OK, I know what's happening. LEFT clicking brings up the pop up with the big screenshot. BUT middle-button-clicking (on Firefox this opens the link destination on a new tab, and it's what I use all the time) shows the thumbnail. IIRC there was a method which I read on these forums to support both things. I think it was something like doing the onClick javascript code return false, but I see you already do this.
