I think it doesn't take into consideration those of us still on dialup.

Wow! Been busy?

Amazing stuff. LOVE the Magnacote drawings. Loose, fun, great textures. That was my fav. Is it online? Is the game available? Looks fun.

My only crit on the website is that I wanted to click on something to get a BIG picture every once in a while. Your stuff has such great detail I wanted to get a closer look. A minor crit, I liked the Yeti creature walking, but thought it went a little long in between categories.

Nice use of Flash for your website.
The longer yeti walks don't bother me that much, really...better than a loading bar! ;)
Impressive client list as well!

Cheers

Splatman:D

THANKS! Yeah..we went back in an recropped and need to get some better pictures up there, especially for the design stuff. The Yeti is a load bar..so he walks for as long as it takes for you to download each section's content. Way too long on some people's machines. :(

Have you considered those that may someday be trying to access your site through their phones?

You limit your market and audience by ignoring those of us as you state have been left behind.

Those stats are a year old and do not in any way represent our market and audience.

Our target demographic are high-end studios, design firms, and ad agencies...of which 100% have broadband connections in order to do business. People from urban areas with money hire us, they have fast connections. We have to impress them. We know what we're doing.

We use the latest in progressive enhancement with XML and various third party tools on client sites that have a different demographic and lower bandwidth requirments.

I'm sorry that you are having trouble viewing our site. Here is a direct link to the demo reel...

I already took some time to view your work. I wasn't that impressed. Thanks.

For the high class demographic that you are targetting you are using way to my tweens both motion and shape.

1.7megs to load a Gui is heavy even for professionals. Sylvester is he one of your characters?

Do you have permission to use the Sylvester character in your toons?

We never used Sylvester in anything, what do you mean?

:confused: Long load time---yeah, that long walk is just too, too long. Surprising, since the "payoff" is just a list/menu.

Yeah, some sections are kind of big but not empty. The bulk of the load are the huge scrolling jpegs with our work on them. Roll over the photos...yup.

There are ways with Flash to only load what is requested. It's not necessary to load everything all at once.
