FAQ, or Frequently Asked Questions
Some of these answers can change at any time without warning, and new questions can be added at any time. Come back often!
Does it cost anything to join?
No. Nothing at all. It's absolutely free.
Are there any age requirements for AbyssWare?
Not at all. When I said anyone can join AbyssWare, I meant it. Anyone at all. Even if your barely old enough to type, you can join. Please do. :)
Can I use the graphics from the AbyssWare webpage?
Some of them. Anything but the blue fire graphics: the title, and buttons along the side. I made those myself, and would prefer they were not used by anyone else. The other graphics, however, I downloaded elsewhere, and you are free to use them as you see fit.
What types of games do you make?
Whatever the members decide on. We make the games that our members think off. However, since most of our members are RPG fans, at the moment, expect RPG's to dominate our games, but we will still make others.
Why are most the games you make Freeware? I want to make money!
First of all, my geocities account does not allow me sell anything off of this webpage. Second of all, I don't want to. AbyssWare's purpose is to bring gamers and game programmers together. Our games will probably always be free. But, you never know. Sometime in the future we might actually sell a game.
I'm worried about giving out my email address. What do you do with it?
I need it to send you information about AbyssWare events and upcoming games. Yes, it will be placed on this webpage in the Roster, and anyone can see it.
Do you have a banner or button I can put on my page to link here?
Click here to see all of the buttons we have so far.
I made a game before I joined. Can you put it on the Download's page?
Sure! If you can upload the game somewhere, (you can get your own FREE web page here at Geocities) and tell me the URL, I'll link to it. Sorry I can't upload files to my page, because I'm reserving the space for other things.
Why's the AbyssWare page in TimesSquare, shouldn't it be in SiliconValley?
AbyssWare is more about games than programming. This page could've gone in either Geocities neighborhood, however, I chose TimesSquare.
I have a great idea for a game! What do I do with it?
If you're a member, by all means, tell me! I'll place it on the projects page, and send a newsletter to all the members telling them about it. Any members who want to help with it can. You will have control of any games that you think of. The game will definately be placed on the downloads page when it's finished.
Can I join even if I don't know how to program?
YES! Many AbyssWare members can't program at all. Games aren't made by programmers alone, ideas, graphics, music and many other things are needed, and are not programming related.
