Say hello to the new AGROclient!

Yesterday I hinted at what I've been working. In this post I'll try to explain what's in my head and what I'm trying to do (so you don't go thinking that I've abanoned this place and stuff).

The original idea behind PROJECTNICO was to build a place where I could collect all sorts of stuff that is related to both games, so I started using Blogger as the means to do so. Well, it worked... for a bit. But now I (and so many readers) feel that it's all messy and confusing. To look for wallpapers you'd have to look at over 100 posts... and that doesn't work.

So I had an idea. I said: "Hmmm... I'll build a website!" Ten seconds later I abandoned the idea. "There are so many websites around. I want to do something different!" And so I did (well I started to do).

In comes AGROclient, which is (or will be) an offline launcher that lets you access every single file from the host using a simple menu.

How will it work? What does it do?

It's simple. You double click on the launcher, and you're welcomed with a simple flash program (with a nice interface) with a menu on. You press "n" and the launcher takes you to the news page. You click "g" and the client launches the file gallery which will contain all sorts of stuff like music, videos, wallpapers and so on. Think of it as an offline flash site, but with added stuff.

The full function roster will include:

A news feed
A file gallery that points to wallpapers, videos etc.
A community message board
Features like interviews and making of's
Competitions
Staff page with contact details and vacancies

You can sample what's to come by downloading the very first build of the client below. Remember: It does not work! But it will give you a rough idea why I've been missing for so long.

Let me know what you all think and if I'm just wasting time! Or not. I like the idea, anyways!

The client will be ready next week. And there will be two versions - one for ICO and the other for Shadow. There's so much more but I'll leave it as a surprise.

In the meantime I'll still be posting any news (like the PLAYSTATION NETWORK one) that comes up!
