New Website Coming

[Adminenkainen]

H&H has long had a Google Site as its official home, but Google Sites is not an easy tool for an amateur to customize, and so the H&H page has always had an amateurish look to it.

Not that the amateurish look was inappropriate for H&H. Indeed, it is an intentional feature, not a bug, found in all things H&H and evoking a certain design aesthetic of ...you know, that Certain Game from the 1970s.

However -- it occurred to me just yesterday that the site is dedicated to H&H exclusively, with little mention of Great Scott! Games. If Great Scott! Games is ever going to grow, it needs an identity beyond its main (and currently only) game product, Hideouts & Hoodlums. And the first step would be redesigning the website to emphasize Great Scott! Games first.

Rather than toil further with Google Sites, though, I've discovered this free site called wix.com and am currently laboring with that...

Best of luck with the website redesign, keep us posted!

I haven't worked on the new website since December. Sadly, time constraints will force this project to be delayed until I'm done with 2nd edition. If I then finish the new website, I can debut them both at the same time.

A brand new Edition of H&H is certainly reason enough to delay a website...and having them both debut at once seems like perfect showmanship to me.

"Because YOU the FANS demanded it! A brand new Edition of Hoodlums & Hideouts, COMING SOON to a BRAND NEW WEBSITE...prepare for EVEN MORE THRILLS and CHILLS!"

Keep us posted...

I don't know if I ever put a link to the new site here, but it's - scottenkainen.wixsite.com/great-scott-press

[Update: found it in the links/resources folder, but can't have it in too many places!]

Good job on the site Scott.

Thank you, though Wix.com templates did all the heavy lifting for me. It's a good site for web designers with 1997-level skills.

Now I should probably do more updating on it...
