I’m now open to affiliation with sites of reasonable traffic and sites that are along the same lines as mine/based around tutorials.
E-mail me at jayattwod@gmail.com with the subject “Twod affiliation” if your interested :)
Links will be in random rotation of 15 or 20, and text links only.
I’ve finished off the site today so all bugs are now ironed out of the layout. Some of the “highlights” include:
I’ve also converted around a third of my posts from the last database over to this database as I’m starting to see a problem with deleting everything from the previous version of the site everytime I upgrade :) It’s also nice to have a real archive, but as you can probably see, all the comments from those posts are completly gone. But i’m sure you guys will solve that over time :)
Also, another 6 mascot submissions:
I absolutely LOVE the customisations coming through for the mascot, and hope to see plenty more from you guys to come :)
I’ve fixed the Mascot .PSD file over at the customise the mascot! page as the grey bar was overlapping causing a darkened bar.
Download the new version here and I look forward to seeing your customised mascots :)
4 mascots sent in since yesterday :)
Congratulations: MindGamez, here is your layout :)
The main reasons for me picking this above others was that it had perfect content presentation, a great ad spot and a nice patient and communicative guy behind it. Alot of people who entered this competition didn’t pay attention to the ‘design freedom’ they where given in this competition and stuck too much towards what I already had. MindGamez understood this freedom and gave it his all :) Congratulations MindGamez!
You’ll also notice Twod now has an ad system going on, and that if you click the penguin/mascot in the top left hand corner you’ll see all the mascots being rotated, and some information on how you can contribute your mascots to the mix :)
And now for the rest of the entrants… I’d like to say thank you to all 27 other entries that where submitted. There where at least 20 more entries for this competition but some people didn’t really add content, sent me zip files that where corrupted and even sent me layouts that clearly weren’t meant for this competition. But without further ado, here are the other layouts that where entered into this competition.

I’d like to add that if anyone wants to get in contact with any of these designers for any quotes on potential work, please e-mail me at jayattwod@gmail.com quoting the name of the designer you wish to contact :)

I decided that the previous version of Twod was generally very limited and poor to navigate, and I also wanted to switch to a simply layout that was quick to load and focused on the content I was putting accross. And then I found it.
Theres alot of changes really:
Whoever said that updates to site versions had to come with only 2 features? Well, quite alot of people really.. But thats just not the way we do things round here ;)
Welcome to the dawn of the new Twod, I hope all you guys like it :)
The main features of this “revamp” are:
I’ve also revamped the error pages, the twodded blogs index (now on this site) and put up some nice domain placeholders for people wanting to buy my domains off of me but never knew how to.
I hope all you guys like the site :)
EDIT: I’ve just realised the stickman tang hi-score tables are a little messed up, but I’ll fix this tommorow
SUB-EDIT: Just added 88×31 banners for people to switch to on the links page
The summer is finally here, and i’ve finally finished off the first year of my course (final presentation/coursework marks pending).
This summer sees the re-release of Twod, the site that started it all… This Twod re-release will be my blog, re-formed, with a gallery, portfolio and Flash games arcade.
Now, obviously I’ll need some games for this arcade :) If you want to submit your game to be on this section of the new Twod (which will be moving back to the original domain), you can send your .fla and .swf files over to jayattwod@gmail.com. Make sure the .fla is included so I can attatch a high score table to the game to make it a tiny bit more fun for users playing.
It doesn’t matter too much about the quality of the game, if people don’t like it – they won’t play it :P
Edit: Please check out NGPixels Blog for a Twodded AND Pixel2Life windows media player skin… (yes two seperate skins).
Today I’m pleased to announce the launch of Twodded blogs. Here multiple people will be setup with a blog to share with you their work on Twodded and other stuff along the way.
You’ll see a lot of different things accross these blogs, and hopefully you’ll visit often :)
Also, Twod will be taken down until the release of Twodded, which is scheduled for May 1st. Also, you may also want to note that Twodded will be a tutorials based with projects only, no funny vids, interviews or galleries (But funny pic gen/funny quote gen will remain as side projects…). Although I may want to add these galleries into the blogs for people to put their own pictures up :)
Work on Pixel2life v2 is coming along very well, and I can promise you that you will LOVE the new version.
