Besides
slacking off these last few weeks I have started a new asp.net 2.0 web
project. Basically it will be a content resource site where users
upload there content like textures models code etc but unlike the other
sites out there I will be sharing the ad revenue I receive from the
banner ads. This should entice users to post there xna related content
and have the benefit of earning some coin from it.
I have a
working prototype of the site, but it only supports texture uploads at
the moment. Once I am satisfied with code or that part of the site it
will just be a matter of cut and paste to add additional sections for
models, tutorials, code etc.
But there is one big problem. I will be heading back up to mushroom camp
around mid august 2007, so I may or not be able to publish the first
release on the web for people to play around with and start using. So
it will be a wait and see game.
One of the reasons I started
this project is because I have recently uploaded a ton of images to
another computer art/graphics site that also shared there ad revenue
with it's users, but the problem with the site is that to many people
use it and your content quickly becomes lost in the thousands of
uploaded submissions. But with xna, the user base is a little more
confined and I am hoping because of that, that both the users and my
self can earn a little bit of extra revenue on the side. I am also
thinking about taking a different approach in how the ad revenue will
be paid out to users rather then the traditional methods.
A side
benefit of creating this site is that I will be able to make available
all of the images I have been taking with my camera. Which is about
1000+ 4.0 megapixel images.
Anyway I just thought since I have not posted on this blog in a while I would let the internets know what I have been up to...
