Surfing Waves

I'm afraid to get labeled as a spammer, so if anyone would like to try out my new surfing game, send me a PM and I will send you the link.

post it here. if it is any good I'll link to it from the main site games page.

Awesome. That rocks:

In the game, you get to be a surfing supply company that sponsors surfers all over the world (like Billabong). I just launched it, so it may have a bug or two, but I think it's a cool. Check the help file or message me if you have questions.

Thanks, Admins!

May I be the first to make a constructive criticism? I haven't even got to the game yet, but on the "creat a free account" page I'd say the list of locations is rather incomplete and unrepresentative. I'm guessing you were sticking to surf locations, but you have Spain and Portugal, for example, but no France or UK.

Sorry to be pernickety (spelling? ) but I assume you wanted feedback.

Also.... it won't let you register without putting in a company name!

I don't have a company

Hehehe

I'm such a dumb-arse, those fields are your imaginary company name and location.

Okay I getcha. Maybe you should make that clear for simpletons like me. I'm now the proud owner of a company called n/a.

and when u do get in what hell too u do and how does it work

Signed up, has potential

Locations:
I wasn't sure if France and UK were prime locations for surfing supply companies. I pulled my locations from the surfers on the ASP World Tour site. Those were the most popular locations. I can add more though. Which ones should I have?

How to Start:
a) did you get the welcome message in your box and,
b) do I need more than the message?

create account form is arse.

"Your first password field is empty or incorrect.
Your second password field is empty or incorrect.
An error occured on this page. Please return to the form and try again."

If theres constraints on a form validate it then (before post) or at least tell someone what the issue is before poping up a whit page with errors.

Fixed the sign-up form. Thanks for the feedback.

Yep
b) do I need more than the message?
message was very useful and explained it

I can't log in anymore...

cool premise....The only thing that i dont like....is the waiting for reports and mechandise....though that does lend to the realism.

Under the Cash & Prestige section of the Help folder; There is a typo. The description of Cash sais, "I don't know want you want me to tell you?"

It should say "I don't know what you want me to tell you."

There shouldnt be a question mark, as it is a statement, not a question. Also what, should be instead of the first want. Also there is no period on the end of the last sentace in that paragraph.

That is what I just happened to notice. I will keep posting problems I find here. Unless SP doesnt want that, or you would prefer me to PM you.

The admins seemed to have given me the go-ahead. Good catch on the help file, I did that on purpose. It's much funnier the way you put it. Made the change.

I'm not digging the whole "loads" of locations. Maybe just add France and UK. Perhaps I should start a thread to get to the bottom of it.

Great feedback, it really helps.

I haven't been able to log in at all.

I think two passwords is a bit much - can't see the point.

Having 'hired' some staff and bought (and upgraded) some merchandise, I don't see any summary where I can check my status - meaning if I log in in a couple of days I'll probably forget what I've done........

Maybe once you've performed an action and are waiting on a result/report/order/whatever, there could be a 'pending' summary?? ie 'You have hired xxxx as a scout - he will report back to you in xxxx days' or 'You have ordered xxxxx items of merchandise - delivery is expected in xxx days'

?????

Also - what's the sponsors thing??? There no info on it, yet there's a page where you can 'invite' or 'message' them?? Invite them for what?? BTW - when you click on message, it says - "send message to NAME HERE"

Also - just tried to run some ad campaigns - returns an error saying 'We cannot process your order at this time' yet has taken the cash off my account???? I guess that's a bit too much like the real life I have!!! I'm down to the tune of $8k
