Added a simple version of how the developer control panel will work in the new design - At the minute it's only simple, but you can do everything you can do in the current one, in this one (other than altering information/platforms). You can however upload a file to the game

There's also a new feature in this control panel, you can de-activate your game, making it unavailable to the public (and re-activate it, ofcourse). Re-activating/De-activating doesn't require the game to be reviewed again.

Also, we're now using SEO friendly URL's, for example, this is how game links look: http://cryset.com/ga...Nocturne/H4x0r/
This is a game search link: http://cryset.com/se...l-games/page-1/
And this is the dashboard link: http://cryset.com/profile/dashboard/

99% of the new site will use SEO friendly URL's

I have a question to do with the payment. How exactly does it work? Through PayPal? or some other such method?

You set your PayPal address in your profile settings, and we pay you via that.

So like.. because I live in Britain, would the $ automatically get converted to £?

You'd choose. When your PayPal account is transferred a currency different to your own, it gives you the option to either create a new sort of 'bank' which stores money of that currency OR convert it to the currency you currently use

But what if you do not have a PayPal account and are unable to obtain one? would the money just sit in your profile until it can be converted to real money and sent through PayPal?

I suppose in special cases we could make an exception - maybe a different way to receive the money? Or allow you to spend the money on advertisement @ Cryset?

Edit: Also, we don't pay you unless you request to be paid So your money would just sit there, yes.
Edit 2: by request, I mean click the "withdraw" button ;D

Ok thanks for clearing this up for me, as i cannot have a PayPal account (under age so i might get my parents to do it )

Also how much money does each play of the game (or however money for the developers generate) give the developer? I believe i read the eact number somewhere but i could be mistaken.

Thanks again,

At the minute its $1 CPM (per 1,000 plays) - So $0.001 per play. This is likely to increase in the future though For an upto-date reference, visit your DevCP ( http://cryset.com/home/p/devcp.php )

We're coming close to finishing the "Custom API Fields" (or CAFs) feature on CrySet, development on it after we've finished will be limited (other than to fix bugs etc). Now's the time to speak out if you're wanting to request anything for this feature. For those who aren't familiar with the new feature, you can find a blog post on it here: Custom API Fields.

So far, users can make the following checks on inserted data (where VAL is a developer chosen value):

~Integer Check
Ensures the data being entered is an integer

~Integer <= VAL
Checks the data to make sure it is less than or equal to VAL

~Integer >= VAL
Checks the data to make sure it is greater than or equal to VAL

~String Length <= VAL
Makes sure the length of the string is no less than VAL

~String Length >= VAL
Makes sure the length of the string is no greater than VAL

~String Contains -> VAL -> Accept
Checks the string to see if it contains VAL, submits the data if it does

~String Contains -> VAL -> Deny
If the string contains VAL, deny the data from being inserted

We also allow you to choose default values to be inserted, as opposed to manually submitted data. Checks are not available for default values (because they aren't needed).

~User ID
Automatically inserts the currently logged in users ID

~Users name/email
Automatically inserts either the users name or e-mail

~Date and/or Time
Automatically inserts either the current date, time or both (date and time)

If anyone has any more suggestions towards checks/defaults then please let me know

Ta,

CrySet

At the bottom most part of your website, you spelled advertise wrong. Just a heads up.

Yes, you have full ownership of any and all titles that you submit, if you want further information view the terms and services.

At the moment the most played game has almost 3k plays in ~6 months?, so that's 3$.
I could get more money in an hour begging on the street, just saying

Any chance you'll be implementing Alertpay payments as well in the future?

I like the new theme, the games list looks cool but a little distracting with all those sliding effects, especially when you rollover on multiple items fast. A fade in/out effect could work better maybe.
Not sure if you develop your website from scratch or you are based on a framework but a nice feature that I'd like to see is responsive design. Really useful if someone is playing a HTML5 from iPhone let's say and not many game websites honor that.

Another issue, that I think it could lead to more bounce rate, is when I push "Play" on a HTML5 game on the games list, I get transferred to a page with the full description, comments and need to press the "Play in Browser" button in order to start the game, this is kind of a double effort from the user's standpoint. I'd suggest placing the HTML5/Flash game inside that page with the description and comments so it is more immediate to play.

Some great suggestions. I haven't looked into AlertPay, but I will do seeing as you've suggested it.

The reason the game is on its own page is size - I've noticed a lot of HTML games tend to be quite large (w*h)... Especially Nocturnes H4X0R! What I could do is just add another link that takes you directly to the game, so give the user a choice between visiting the game page or going straight to playing the game.

Well, seeing as mobile devices cannot download and play most of the games on CrySet, it's seems sort of pointless to create a mobile version of the site. I developed the site from scratch, by myself, so you can imagine it'd be quite time consuming to keep 2 versions of the site working side-by-side!

What I was thinking in the future though, was to develop a HTML5 games only site ran from CrySets database of games - I may/probably will develop a mobile version of that site.
