[synchromesh]

Its a 650 Meg Demo showing mainly the Frontier Archive, Movies, Games etc

Extract the Zip to a Directory and execute the Kickstarter.exe

This is only a portion of the collection...Im at 3 gig now

Its on borrowed Hosting so probably only be there just for today and tomorrow...
Check it out and see what you think ....

Great job and a very nice interface. One tiny comment, when I have selected a video, it should be possible to return to video selection (1 up). As it is now it's up to the archive menu (2 up).

Not sure what else you have, but have you considered making a snap of the Kickstarter page, the updates and the comments section. Having the comments available and searchable would be great.

I know that Andrew Winter extracted all the comments into a PDF file, but it's in a rather simple table format and 2575 pages/ 54 MB big. He did say that it was probably possible to include avatars and to make it a little more elegant. He said he would have a closer look at a later date, but not sure if he got around to it.

Hi Gimi

You mean if your on the Game Development 1 page....and you click Development Diary 1 it takes you to that video....But the Archive button takes you back to the main options rather than the page you were on....Good Find....I can sort that easily enough....I must have just got used to it but I see what you mean...

I would Love to include the PDF if I can get my hands on it...And the Newsletters as well in PDF Format

Yes, and you have similar behaviour if you click on a concept art.

Ihave the pdf file of the comments section, I'll get a copy over to you tonight. It's rather crude, so it might be worth contacting Andrew Winter and asking him if he has a better version. As for the newsletters, do you mean those sent out after the Kickstarter (Newsletter 1 to 11). They are easily converted to PDF, I can do that if you want.
I was thinking about the Kickstarter updates. Might be possible to convert those as well. Need to have a closer look.

Any help would be brilliant....Up to my eyes with this as it is

I have implemented the changes you remarked on at my end and now it all works great......Except the Concept art page seems fine.....You are right clicking on the mouse to reset the image back to thumb nail aren't you ?

Sorry.

This will have to wait till I'm home.

The Viewer is one of the things im not happy with so im going to re -think that

Great work mate...

I have an unlimited bandwidth server (well I've never hit the cap anyway). So if you want to host a mini site and files on it your most welcome.

Also could set it up as a torrent and seed from it too...

Chuck me a pm.

@Gimi : I have replaced the Concept viewer and made a new one that I am much happier with and blends in so much better....And seeing its quiet I have uploaded and replaced the old demo with the new

@Out2lunch : Fantastic offer thanks but Gimi offered the same thing about an hour after I posted and I jumped on it

Thanks a lot though its appreciated

ahh, torrent seed, I can't do that. Well I could but don't want to affect the performance of a hosted image intensive website.

Take your pick Sync, I don't mind either way.

Been out of synch for a few days, so never got to download the updated version. Also, I think there is a misunderstanding here. If I understand correctly, Out2lunch has offered to host the file, something I can't do. What I am looking at is converting various stuff to pdf files. Newsletters are easy. The Kickstarter updates carry with them some odd formatting, so a little more work required to make it look sensible.
