Happy New Year!

January 14th, 2010 by greg  |  comment

Happy new year to all, and greetings from La Paz, Bolivia! I´ve been traveling around South America for the past month, so nothing has been happening on the Lassie website or Shepherd developments. However, I´m coming to the end of my trip and will be back to work soon. In the next month I hope to have some new website content put together, and Shepherd 1.1 should be on the way.

Happy 2010!

Demo games!

I’ve restored the online-playable Lassie demo games. These include the original Lassie Director and LassieAS demos, as well as one new demo for Lassie Shepherd. All games can be accessed from their new overview page within the Games section.

Old school is back: I’ve restored Lassie Director downloads this evening. Hurray for Macromedia Director! (…the classic never dies, right?). Enjoy.

Ongoing Site Development

Just an update on this website: the site is undergoing development, and will continue to be for the coming months. Progress is slow around other projects, but I am making a point to keep chipping away at setting up this new content architecture.

Also, I should note that this site become my playground for figuring out WordPress integration. That said, don’t be alarmed if the site shows up broken for brief periods. I’m actively working on the live site, so things may look jumbled as I make updates. Should I set up a testing environment to work in? Absolutely… However, the reason that the site looks like this in the first place is because of lack of time. Any links I can remove from the development chain just increase chances of making forward progress on the site.

As always, thanks for bearing with me during this transition!

We’re back… partially.

First and foremost – my apologies for the website hiatus. I’ve been planning on migrating web hosting for months now, and I was planning on doing it before my old hosting contract expired. However, way led to way and I missed the deadline. So, sorry for the confusion, and I hope the Lassie community finds their way to this new location.

Looking around, you may notice that the site looks a little bare… “bare” here meaning that there is probably nothing on the site but this news post. That’s because I’m finally hooking this website into a light content management system (thanks, WordPress), so I’ll be integrating the system and migrating content over the coming weeks.

For the time being, just know that this is the Lassie project’s new home. Please update your bookmarks and spread the word!
