@lucasade, Bmcs :
I know you have good intentions and I think it's great that you want to contribute.
However, as I have previously stated I *am* going to make a small website for the game and host it on my own server; that's where I'll be posting updates for the game, probably have some FAQ and a few screenshots... but that's it. Now if you want to make your own website that's fine, but keep in my that it will be a fan site and no the official site. Not that I don't think you can handle making a website, but I like to keep the "official" stuff under control, have it all on my own server etc. Also, don't forget that making and maintaining a community-oriented website (from what I understand you want to make it some sort of file-sharing hub with a forum, right ?) is hard work and that given this is a small homebrew project you probably shouldn't expect it to be flooded with members.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you want to make a website for/about the game, then that's great, go ahead, but I won't be helping you with it or taking responsibility for it, I hope you understand.
(I guess if it all works out I could put a link to it on the game's official page)
(also, if that doesn't sound very clear, it's because I'm really tired right now
)
Clearly we have here a misunderstood, and maybe we should clear some things.
We have no intentions, and i repeat, no intentions of using official stuff on the website, we have no intentions of stealing the work of no one...
The decision of making this website came up with the need of a place for all of us to share our creations with other players, and also share images and maps...
We are aware of the fact that this is only a homebrew, however, this is a game that provides the opportunity of sharing gameplay experiences and we will create the website only with that purpose. We don't expect it to be flooded with members, it doesn't have to be, but, lets not forget that, there's a lot of people outside gbatemp that would love to have a DS version of Minecraft, and it's those people we have in mind...(and lucasade, correct me if i'm wrong in any of these things)
And let me explain one more thing (and that's for everyone). We are
not going to earn
nothing with this, this will be just me and lucasade working for the game community, so, don't get us wrong either...
Maybe giving an example will be more easy to understand. For all of you who play minecraft, i bet you all know those sites where you can get texture packs, maps, player skins, etc. So, imagine a site like that, but fully dedicated to DsCraft...that's our goal. Smealum will have no responsibility over anything on the site, that's all to
me and
lucasade.
So, please, smealum, don't misunderstand us, our intentions are good...
And please be honest with us, if you don't approve this project your the only person in the world who can go ahead and say "stop that, i don't like that idea" you have your rights...
