Greetings all,
This past week we've hit the ground running. Not long after posting just a fistful of our first demo's did we see a rise in our Twitter interaction. We also managed to attract the attention of Adobe's own Thibault Imbert, for those who don't know he is chief producer for Flash run times, basically, he is the man when it comes to Molehill. He said we were "pretty cool". We were very happy with this. Just this little mention saw a sudden peak in our traffic and followers on Twitter sky rocketed to over 50 new followers in the space of 6 hours. We now sit at double that.
As for the site itself we've had a pretty productive time. We're slowly exhausting our resources in terms of demo's to post as we wanted to post all the content we could in the first few weeks. The problem with demo posting is its not an attention grasper like a game is. We're finding bounce rate is quite high because, whilst everything extraordinarily pretty to look at, its still lacking that ultimate fun factor. We hope we can change that pretty soon.
We do have a good few playable demo's on the site. One being Zombie Tycoon which is incredibly fun, and a couple of others that our small community has shown to us are Delta Strike and Treasure Dungeon. Both of which allow you to look at a game world is it will be in fully developed format.
So, where are we hoping to go over the coming weeks and months? Well, ideally, we'd like to rise up the Google search rankings so we can garner more traffic, get people to look around, but more importantly we would like people to stick around and chat. We want to really get a nice community of developers and players to be around so we can all share in the delights of where Molehill can now be taken. Who'd have thought Flash would be able to harness this kind of graphical power 10 years ago? Who knows where gaming will now go with this engine? You could be buying games from a dude in his bedroom because of it, and we like that idea. So use the comments section, get involved in our forums, follow fellow Twitter members and converse to your hearts content. Lets be honest, this is the internet, nobody talks in real life anymore.
Enjoy yourselves,
The Mole
