Geography Trainer 1.4, New Project

Geography Trainer 1.4 is under development and is to be a total rewrite. It will be a bug fix release (and hopefully not introduce too many bew bugs during the rewrite ;p ). If you have suggestions or any comments, please post on the Forums. Geography Trainer 1.3 has been downloaded close to 1000 times now so keep spreading the word!

Another project is in the early stages of planning, while we may release another project some time into the future which has been shelved for a long time.

Dink Software is now hosted by WebbHostingPad.

Additionally apologies on the delay of Geography Trainer 1.4. Due to unforeseen circumstances the development of this stalled. However this is now able to be resumed and we have issued a revised release date for later this month.

Redesigned site & www.dinksoftware.com

As you have surely noticed by now, the site has undergone a face lift to make it easier to access and use, a full explanation for the change is posted here on the forums. As well we have now acquired the domain name www.dinksoftware.com and have also moved webhost's to HostHelpers. Oxyhost was a great webhost, however they seem to have an unacceptable amount of down time. The old site address will redirect you to the new domain and webhost.

Geography Trainer 1.4 is currently under development and is anticipated for release in late August or early September (so that there can be an official beta test by testers of at least one week's length so that any bugs can be found and plugged before the official release).

We've also got a short, still under development text RPG game by Chris C. for you today which can be found in the downloads section.

Don't forget to check out the forums also, including an interesting concept point and click game by Jeremy Howell...
