Have you seen site lately? NO? Well go check it out dogg!
Gregk Kirkpatrick (?sp), or whoever is designing the DA webpage, is the
first person to make HTML art. Just look at it! Most web pages are made
either by some guy getting paid to sell stuff, or some body who was a
WYSIWYG HTML editor and has almost no graphic design experience (like me).
But most pages are in between these two and are great. But I have never
seen a person create art with HTML! OK I know whoever is doing the DA page
IS getting paid to sell Infinity + Duality, but they do it with such
style!
CK on Infinity was also pretty impressive, so Colin Kawakami is also Da
Man. It looks like that page has come through in the DA home page. All
those "hyroglyphics(?sp)" and stuff look loike the ones from CK on
Infinity.
Also Duality.net is bigger, literally!

Sure it looks great. Just make sure you have a T-1 connection (or a lot
of spare time) before going there.

it's no coincidence about the hieroglyphs, Colin Kawakami is designing the
new Double Aught sites. much thanks for the praise, which i'll pass along
(he's out of town for a wedding and may not be reading a.g.m.) keep
checking the site in the coming weeks for information about Duality,
Double Aught's next 1st-person-3D-role-playing-action-shooter... whew!

HTML art? Are you high? I just went to their new and "improved" site, and
didn't see any HTML art. What you probably mistook for HTML art (which
would really just look like any ol' ASCII art) are wireframe images. Most
likely they are starships and such from Duality or just random 3D models
Ydnar through together. And by the way, Greg Kirkpatrick is the scenario
designer (writer) and Ydnar is the artist.

If this is true, it's very unfortunate. Randy is a gifted game designer
and artist.
We need to have some official comment here.

I do not know. I e-mailed him with a question about Duality a few weeks
back. His reply was simply: "i no longer work at double aught."
