Hello everyone.
I know, it's a bit late... But here's my present: I try to rebuild Glitch. Okayokay, wait and read the whole... no... the shortened story (or skip it and use the link below but be warned: It's really incomplete!).
A few days ago, I've tried to program something Glitch-like - and failed hopelessly due to the small amount time's left. And then, I've met someone who already started and programmed a small and slow - but mostly working - Chat. He's now looking into the main game. I've decided to host his little project on a free hoster I've already been registered. It is unfortunately very unstable but may enough stable to work the most of the time. Back to the game: As stated, at the moment it's only a chat. He will evolve it in course of time to a game like Glitch. It's actually NOT Glitch, mainly because of the copyright. There will be never again a game like Glitch, but maybe we can get close enough...
Okay, here's the link for the (future) game "Ray of Hope": http://ray-of-hope.spiele-cu.ch
Now, one more thing: If you want to "transfer" all your stats like achievements and skills, answer this topic or write your Glitch-name at Ray of Hope in the chat and I will try to save your stats away as soon as possible. You can also leave the name of a Glitch-friend or -acquaintance. I have enough disk space ;-) . Only one thing you need to do: Due to the limited time remaining I wont be able to save your snaps away...
Merry Glitchmas to everyone :-D .
If you have any question, just ask.
By the way: This is the first time - and also most likely last time - I've wrote something in this forum :-D :-P .
Q&A:
Q: When will it be done?
A: I don't know...
Q: Are one of you guys a TinySpeck employee?
A: No.
Q: What for a programming language you gonna use?
A: PHP, MySql, HTML5 (you need a browser that supports HTML5 to use this page!). At the moment also mainly JavaScript, but it may get reduced/replaced by more efficient code. No flash!
Q: I can not connect to the site... What I'm doing wrong?
A: Presumably... Nothing. Probably the server is overloaded or crashed... again.
Q: How can I contact the programmer?
A: He only speaks german and his english is much worse than mine. Talk to me, I'll pass it on.
Q: How can I help?
A: Join by and have fun!
Edit (22.03.2013):
I had a lot of problems with the freehoster I've uploaded my site to... Aside of a really long loading time, some crashes and other problems, there was a really bad happening: He didn't let me upload any new file (or edit an existing one) at all, as the freehoster changed their servers... For over a Month!
For this reason, I've moved everything to my old (now updated) website at ray-of-hope.spiele-cu.ch . This brought significant performance improvements, also along with other advantages...
Mrs. Teasdale, Sir Rachel & Mablem Tiipot: Thank you, thank you and thank you :-D .
