If you use this for selling your games, do people need to register at CrySet in order to buy them?

Ofcourse. But we're going to take out the ability to sell games soon, as we want to target only free games and focus purely on increasing ad revenue share for both ourselves and developers.

Update

You can now withdraw funds from your CrySet accounts! You can read more about this here (Blog Post - brief) or here (Forum - detailed)

I recently deleted 2 games due to my AV telling me they were infected. Apparently my AV was playing up. Everything has been fixed now - If you had a game deleted without any notification (we don't notify users when their game has been denied if it flags as infected), please re-upload it and it will be review correctly.

A few updates for you:

User List: We've put up a very simple (soon to be expanded) list of users. You'll notice that a lot of users are "level 0" - They aren't spam accounts, they were just created before major site updates, or are developers who never got their games accepted.

New forum! We've created a new forum with different software, and expanded the amount of boards. In the following weeks we're also going to be integrating the forum with the site, in hope to achieve better community interaction. We're also opening up something called "Developer Groups" - So if you have a game development team but don't have a forum to post links/discuss your game, we'll give you your own category with whatever boards you like (viewable only to members of your team).

Moderators: The back-end (stuff you don't see... not the ass of it) of the site has had a major revamp, allowing us to upgrade some users to "moderators". At the minute we're only looking for one moderator - You can apply for this position here. This will also keep the site much cleaner from spam, as well as speed up game reviews.

"Pagination": We've cleaned the site up by adding pagination to comments on blogs, games and profiles.

Ad system: You can now advertise your site directly on CrySet. $5 will get you a months worth of advertising (approx 25,000 ad views).

WiP to finished: Developers can now set their games status from WiP to Finished (and vice versa). WiP games are available to view with the direct link, but do not show up in searches/the homepage.

Indeed, I really hope that the Cryset API will get released soon with the account system and stuff because I'd really like that to be in my game

Just uploaded a closed BETA to the admins/mods. I'll be releasing it publicly soon (I'll post here when it's available).

Edit: I'll also be creating a version available to use for windows applications.

Looking forward to this! Cryset could become the dominant player in this industry

[beatson]

This weekend, all revenue given to developers is going to be multiplied by 8! For every game play or download, you'll earn $0.008 - Doesn't sound a lot? For every thousand plays, instead of $1, you'll get $8.

This offer will start at 12:00AM Friday morning, and end 12:00AM Sunday morning.

This offer applies to all games - Browser and non-browser based. Partnered accounts will still earn double! ($16 CPM).

Regards,

The CrySet Team

Impressive that is more than Adfly, without all the annoyance, lol. Too bad I'm still far from finishing anything.

[beatson]

Not to worry, we'll try and do stuff like this more often.

[beatson]

Revenue

We found a major flaw in the way we handled revenue/way downloads are counted (Especially in browser based games). This issue has now been fixed and you should start to notice your revenue increasing more

[beatson]

Few updates...

We've written out a small description of how we review games here

To celebrate 10,000 game plays, we're giving some $$ away - Blog post can be found here

A small public log of all the little changes that we make to CrySet. You can view that here

We've also got a new moderator on the forums - Ziggler1

We're working on a new design! Would love some opinions (so far, they haven't been bad): http://cryset.com/AE8F1/

[Sirosky]

Hmm, I actually like the old design more. If you don't mind some criticism, it has more style, and the elements are in general, smoothly integrated in general. And the new layout is a bit odd, namely the two games that are randomly at the bottom of the site. Just doesn't really fit in...

[Nocturne]

I think you are moving in the right direction by removing the "RPGish" warrior logo, but I still prefer the old layout. The white CrySet bar at the top really looks out of place and I agree with the above comment that the two games at the bottom just look kinda... well.. lost! Or tagged on as an afterthought... and that the old layout had a more rounded and "together" feel.

Ofcourse I don't mind criticism, but what do you mean by 'more style'? The two games that are randomly at the bottom have been mentioned before, I plan to remove them. The rest is practically the same as before in a way (in terms of content, not design). This design is more fluid though, the last one looked really thin on some larger monitors. I did like the old design, but the way I built round it made it really difficult to alter and add new things, one of the many reasons I decided to design a new template.

I have however haven't tested the site on anything less than 1366x768 (yet), so I apologise if it has problems in lower resolutions.

Well, I'm still working on a new logo. God knows what I was thinking when I originally designed it! The games where at the top, but I moved the to the bottom whilst I tested them before removing them (used them to test the ajax).

What is it about the old design that makes it better than this one? Although I did like the old design, I want to steer away from the dark colours and the huge images - loading times (especially where I live) were quite large.

What resolutions/type of monitor are you both using?
