Gameware Studio Diary

Downloads ahoy

The sharp-eyed amongst you may have noticed that, little by little, game patches and free downloads are appearing on Gameware's Creature Labs site. Last week I moved all the old Knowledgebase articles over which was quite easy as, with only a few tweaks here and there, I could upload the entire database as CSV into Gameware's new content management system. It took a fair few days more to sift out some of the less helpful entries and update URLs and so forth, but I believe it's all there now. If anyone runs across a knowledgebase article that's not accurate, please do let me know (click on my profile link below to drop me a message or PM me in the forums). There's also a search facility which may help find answers a bit quicker than simply reading every entry!

The downloads are somewhat less easy as they weren't formatted as database entries, but rather as static HTML that I now have to enter in by hand. So far I'm halfway through Creatures 1, so a couple more days and everything should be there.

As for Norn Packs and other downloads from the mall, I'm sure everyone is anxious for us to get those up and online and that's certainly in progress as well. I'm just now evaluating a shopping cart system and hope to have it working as soon as possible, though you'll forgive me if I don't give a definite date.

You know how these things go!
