For those who haven't noticed, my website is back on-line after what is probably a good 3-4years.

http://www.rstudio.co.uk

Yes, there isn't much there right now but it's growing and we aim to have it completed by the end of the week.
Currently we have a project under-development, which is going to announce fairly soon-ish. (won't be announced on here)

We'll be looking to provide some full-time positions for game testers, so anyone capable of getting to Sheffield / Derby / Chesterfield please feel free to drop us a line at:

Clean design.

What's with the spy model though?

Dunno who it is, the name just says "Spy Girl - Personal Project" whch I doubt is Joanna Dark.

Great model. Just don't see why Raven is using it on his homepage, unless the model is for his game.

Cause it's not a DBP project (although we did use it to prototype the early concept), so not much point. Sides I'm sticking away from the whole 'pimping' area this time.

Technically it's no longer "my" homepage, it's the homepage for Liandri / Studio Raven. I'm testing the Blog system atm so, hopefully once it's all sorted you'll know a bit more then when the other members of the team start posting what they're up to.

Without everyone signing an NDA, probably.

Quote: "Rather a well-endowed female"


Yup. Hence why she's on the frontpage.

For the moment she's mostly just something pretty for the frontpage. Only reason it had the (c) on it, was because I hadn't asked Sami about putting it up there... I can take it off now though, so probably do that once I upload the new build of the site.

The layout feels ok.
you might want to setup a CSS file.
The use of another's artwork is a little misleading.
At least you added the artist's name to the bottom of the image.
If your not offilated with him in any way your ripping off his work, wouldnt be the first time for you matey.

if you validate the site with http://www.htmlvalidator.com/
you will see a bunch of easy to fix errors.



I just ran toastmedia.com.au again through it and was pleasantly surprised to find only 1 or two errors outside of the simple checker compared to the advanced error.



you should also setup your error page in your web server, its probably early days in development, im sure you have these issues in order of repair.

toasts looks like this.
http://www.toastmedia.com.au/blabla

meta tags would also help with indexing.

good start but lots to do

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself 

I think you should get rid of the spygirl, and put your own image on there. You are a modeller so you should have plenty of images to use.

Raven, don't you work for TGC? It just seems that you would have a vested interest in TGCs software. Especially since you've done so much work on it (according to you).

I'd sure like to see that prototype. Since it's DBP, it would make perfect sense to do so.

BTW Raven, I've asked several times for some of your other products, but you just ignore my questions. In particular, your ODE ragdolls and your DBP FPS engine.

Quote: "You are a modeller so you should have plenty of images to use."

I agree. I wouldn't use someone elses models when I had plenty of my own...

sorry if this goes down in flames but let the truth be told, shall we?

this is like Raven's 80th "studio"/"project"/"game" and I've yet to see 1 finished project from him. Seems he's great with announcements and making starts, would like to see something finished however. Not to mention he doesn't work for TGC but has on many occasions misled people to believe so. Read the latest TGC IRC QA session log, this exact question was asked and answered directly, Raven does NOT work for tgc. End of story.

When can I expect my copy of "Deliverance" ?

Mislead? He's directly stated, on numerous occasions. He said that TGC pays him quite a bit of money.

He also seems to claim to have completed projects of astounding technical achievement, yet chooses not to release them for various reasons. I've seen him claim that he didn't know anyone was interested, and dismiss his ODE ragdolls as 'stupidly easy'. He also claimed that his FPS engine should replace the FPSC engine. Whatever.

How someone can be so socially inept is beyond me. It doesn't even compute. Lies don't make people like you more, they just expose you. Especially when they're lies about products that you've produced. I'd erase my profile and never come back if I did that.

Raven, let's not play the quote game either. Everything I've said can be backed up with quotes by you, even if you've forgotten you've said that. I chose my wording in each instance very carefully.

To not be a jerk for one tiny second, the page looks simple and clean. However, there is no content, and an announcement is pointless. I'll never revisit.

Well, I've never. God forbid, I'm sure he'd have just erased my questions. Chris always seems to handle them. But to claim that he's paid lots of money when he's obviously not? It's like if I went onto some Blizzard forums and started claiming that I was a project director and was working on their latest game and had secret knowledge that I might impart upon everyone should I feel like it. Obviously, I'd get called out for a blatant lie when I couldn't produce.

Ok seriously. I feel that you guys should lay of Raven a bit. Why? Because if you scare him off I lose my main source of entertainment from this forum. Could you imagine how boring this place would be without Raven popping up now and then and claiming that he wrote windows xp single handed?

OK, just to put the correct slant on this (if you haven't already heeded the warnings above)...

This is the guy that claims to have set up the world's first Jedi Academy and Dojo, adhering to the teachings of The Sith.

Now if you want to travel to Sheffield to join his team (surely an AUP breach there), feel free. Just take your Light Saber with you, take your shoes off at the door, and call him Sensei at all times.

No,no!!! Raven works for Nvidia. I'm sure he mentioned that some time ago. You are all wrong.

Well basically I've decided to take the teaching of the SaiyaJedi in as the main lessons behind what I will teach here. It will technically make it the first Jedi Academy in the world "

Wowwowowowowowowow!!!! Would his fake master approve of his Jedi Academy? What about the other 2 'strong' (strongly nerdy) pupils? It's just too much to comprehend! What about the fact that they won't really have powers, they'll just be celibate nerds wearing robes and pretending to have powers? What social reject would write a serious post like that!?!?!?

Thanks, BatVink!!!!! I just but that very volatile round in my nerd shotgun.

What is your bidding, master? Shall we worship the Dark Sith Lord, or rewrite ODE today?


Hey Raven, are you still teaching the ways of the Jedi? I'd love for you to become my teacher...

Hehe...Cash just won't give that picture up.

He hangs it in his living room, and every time he's having a bad day, he just looks at it again and instantly feels better.

Guys, continually trashing somebody when he's not replying and defending himself is seriously low, and I'm surprised that some of you are stooping to that level.

For anyone who wants to beta test for Raven, drop him an email. Sorry but I have to lock this now.

I try not to trash anyone, however raven does leave himself open with not completing components and being deceptive regarding whos media is which.
