A New Venture

[Dire Wolf]

Over the past year or so myself and my partner have been busy creating a new quiz/trivia game. We have created and designed every aspect of the game ourselves, and are now in a position to start publicising and advertising the game ready for release. The game, called Strong Point, is currently with manufacturers and it we anticipate that it will be available from late October or early November.

Please feel free to check out our website here:
www.strongpointgame.co.uk

If you like the look of the game there is a link on the website where you can request notification of the confirmed release date.

We have created our website ourselves from a base knowledge of absolute zero on website creation, but hopefully it runs smoothly and serves its purpose well. Our Facebook page will also be going public as of today so if you wish to follow and share it that would be very kind, just search for Strong Point Games.

This is brand new to both of us, so please be gentle!

Welcome to the enlightening, satisfying, infuriating, and sometimes depressing world of software development!

 

[Alan]

Well, you did say you built the website yourselves.

Still cool nonetheless! Some very similar design problems to tackle. Congrats on making it to production!

All I'm getting is a 'This site can't be reached' message ??

Facebook Insta and WhatsApp all went down globally about 5pm

Doesn’t sound like a cyber attack. More a DNS fuck up of epic proportions. Should be back now apparently.

Now. Be fair. That shows I can read a news report! Nothing more, and nothing less

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I just find it amusing, like I dunno, Anne Widdecombe musing on sexuality or something

It isn't back though, it's still all fucked.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Looks to me like WhatsApp is still struggling.

I never thought I would be compared with that Brexiteer hag

Correct.

First time in ages that I have finished work at 5pm as all our internal tools are impacted.

It was in an endearing way.

Anyway Toon, if you want me to write you some football questions, I can do. No charge. Just ask.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Now this DNS issue. Is it like when someone accidentally did a reply to all and effectively fucked the entire NHS email system?

Interestingly my first PA did the same in 1998 and utterly fucked the WH Smith email servers. Most amusing.

Nice one, good luck on the launch and the new venture.

I got through to the website, looks interesting, although I haven't played a board/card game in yonks.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I think I will order one as a Christmas present if you think you are going to be up and running for that market. We have a tradition of always ordering a board game or card game each Christmas so I would rather give you guys the bizz.

Good luck with what sounds like a very exciting new step.

We have plans for add-ons and expansion sets in the future. For the meantime we are concentrating on trying to publicise and get this first edition up and running and for sale on Amazon. We're ready, just at the manufacturing process stage right now.

If you've browsed the website (the link I posted earlier was definitely working for me by the way), take a look at the game concept, read about it and read our story. We think, naturally, that the concept is a good one. All the testing we have done has been overwhelmingly successful and positive. And we are really proud of the design and the image. If you like quiz games, trivia, board games anything like that we think you'd like our game. It makes for a great gift too! All made in the UK, with help from 2 fairly local businesses (one in Morpeth and one in Oldham), both of which are terrific.

It's a good one. See, I know Pad, but can I second guess what he knows (I know the things he specialises in, but maybe he's got some stuff tucked away).

Hopefully you get it out for Christmas because there's your market.
