Further delays to Colour Matching

Posted by brutalexcess - September 9th, 2013


I feel bad already, I have done little in terms of making any progress whatsoever with Colour Matching, and that is mainly due to the thought that the website needs redoing and to be redesigned ready for our business model to work properly. What I want to do is provide a Pay-What-You-Want service as well as a Subscription service, and without a full redesign of the website this cannot happen.

The website I am referring to links to Colour ID, which is currently incomplete and some elements on some pages, including the Donations page, are missing. Because of the way Donations are in nature, i.e. mostly suitable for a not-for-profit business (we are not a not-for-profit business), I am considering just getting rid of it entirely and replacing it with the proposed business model.

Consequently, I am making plans and designs for the new website, and I will be looking for web developers and designers willing enough to spend some time on creating this new website. It will also make it easier in the long run to produce content on the website. I am doing this now so that I can get all of the designs and plans done and ready for a team of web designers and/or developers working together while I work on Colour Matching for Newgrounds and other possible Flash game websites, which will most definitely include MochiGames, and maybe Kongregate.

The other option was to design and build Colour Matching, and once that gets going then start looking for web developers and/or designers. The only problem with that is that I would be leaving it too late and it leaves the company I am contracted with little to no revenue in relation with adverts embedded into Colour Matching, since most of the revenue will be based on the fact that the Soundtrack, Concept Art and Behind-the-Scenes content will be provided on a free basis to subscribed users on the website. That is the plan - get a subscription and pay-what-you-want system ready or face another delay.

This delay is deliberate, and once I have the designs and plans for the website done, I will be going back to Colour Matching to get the bare essentials of the core mechanics done for players. This will mean a lot of project management on my behalf, which will also include my time at college as well for my last year. It's a lot to take in, but I hope to be finished with the website and an Alpha for Colour Matching ready by February next year.
