Post your playable Crush the Castle 2 maps. There are other threads for talking about CtC2. If it's not good for shooting at or interesting to look at don't put it here: NO castles that fall apart by themselves, NO random junk piles.
I went through about 2300 castles in the "All Time" category and noticed that all my latest creations were eliminated... Joey now understands the problem. BTW - Looks like a LOT of castles went missing! There are only 43621 castles remaining!
Joey does Flash programming only, IT guys fix things if they know what they are doing but, based on my experience with this website they are rookies. Obviously, they (IT guys) are probably incompetent as they did not have a proper backup system nor redundancy and I have lost a crap load of creations because of this problem in the past and now.
It ticks people off and they leave. Advertisers figure it out and they leave as well and Dan may have to trade the Bentley for a Chevette! Unfortunate as it may be, but have patience and if you have listened to the regulars, you would have saved your stuff in text files. We have lost too many players and enjoyment of their creations by now to quit!
retrophil, do not submit new castles now until the mess is fixed and then, wait a bit as they might have "burps". I went to "my castles" and all castles that were lost in the f'n mess are gone as well but, I have most of them in a text file. Many of my old ones are still there.
Whatever - not a very professionally run web site based on their advertising revenue and their page-views.
Mr Dan needs to get off his Hein y kin and actually get this web site organized or he will go the way of the Dodo bird... Ha ha ha
Others are lurking and stealing while his web site is cooked!
@retrophil12 - 2 suggestions. If Joey is involved, it will be fixed but wait as you have wisely chosen. When you are ready, submit your castles one day at a time to let them get "hit". When they disappear, submit another and so on...
Secondly, stick with us, your stuff is fun to play!
the last time ctc2 was down, how long did it take to fix it then?
They have a real problem here as a number of shares from different games are kaput and, I believe that the designer of this website is no longer with AG and probably left no notes. We can only hope they don't do the easy thing and delete everything but in CTCPP - an older game, that is what happened and over 800,000 submitted levels were deleted!
PS, did you get the serf to land safely on his post? Shoot low with 3 bombs!
I have just been informed by Joey about the problem. You can see his message on my profile. It is not an internal problem but an external (3rd party) problem and I apologize if I have made disparaging remarks about Joey's team. They are trying their best to solve/salvage the problem. Some stuff will get lost and if you have listened to us aging gamers, you would have saved your levels in text files on your computers
I believe they are trying to resolve future issues with AG3 so if you have any suggestions, get on that forum!
One of the few people I respect on AG is Joey Betz as he listens to us and implements what we suggest in his games. Trismegistus left him a bunch of suggestions for CTC2 and he implemented almost all of them including the superior editor. Joey is an amazing programer and I have no idea how he manipulates the physics of CTC. My contribution to the game were a few things but, he did give us the Jester figure! hahahahaha
For the meantime, just post stuff like I have been doing and enjoy. In the oldest game where there was not a people's empire, we posted raw code and didn't care about votes because we were having fun! My friend Charlesme and I did this alot and challenged each other to fix or alter the other's level!
Have some fun and forget about votes - it is more important that your peers respect your efforts!
PS - that pic I posted is from a web game site I used to play until I moved to AG as foon went defunct but he still maintained his URL. Robin Allen had a bizaare sense of humour but was a genious when it came to game development and won a number of awards. His Blackshift and Netshift games were awesome plus Hapland 1 to 3 but, now are Kaput! Hapland can be found on other sites probably but stick around, they will get this site working properly next week.
I tried to get Robin Allen involved in AG but, he backed off. His bad...
Be brave and post a useless level so we can play again. You can always repost it when the shares are up again!
