www.dragonheadstudio.com/images/dh.jpgAfter having hard working on my new web site, I'm to happy to announce that the Dragon Head Studio Online store is open!
Check it here : www.solu-si.com/dragonhead
You can now Download and buy Huge Terrain Creator. HTC binaries is sell 29.95 EUR. You can also get full source code for 49.95 EUR. Buying HTC now will grant access and allow you to save money on furthercoming versions of HTC.
In the next few weeks, you can buy some content packs for Torque. I Plan to put one product per week in the next three month (essentially 3D content packs).
To do this store I build a Wiki called Wysi Wiki Wyg. It's a wysiwyg wiki. You can get it here www.solu-si.com (sorry it's only in french at the momment). You can test it here : www.solu-si.com/index.php?c=test&a=index (click on "Editer" link on the bottom of the page).

A Final word about HTC. Some new features are coming (see previous plan). HTC+ project is now renamed HTC planetary. (I don't say more now).

Vincent, I just went to http://www.solu-si.com/dragonhead/ and a page came up saying "Thank you for buying HTC Full Source code." (but I didn't buy it)

Ooohhh... The city builder looks nice. It doesn't say much so it makes me have lots of questions about it.

I had the opposite problem, i paid for it via paypal and the page never came up :(
i'm going to hope that the system he uses just takes a few min to email out a link to it?


um, i browsed back to the page a little bit later, and the download link was there. i'm pretty confused but i think i'll blaim browser catching of webpages and firefox??

Well I don't have TSE, so this is nothing I can use.

But when I get TSE, I'll be definetely checking it out. Looks very nice. :)

I don't need to buy it now ;)

Only kidding, I didn't keep the serial number, so I can't use it.
I'll see about getting a copy of HTC in the next few weeks...

Vincent,

I just clicked the link in your .plan and the "thanks for buying" page still comes up. Don't know if it actually gives me a key or anything, I didnt poke that far, but seems that you still have a bug.

@Tom, thank you for your comment. I just removed temporary key generator from my server. (In waiting to find a definitive solution).

The situation is now clear, you can now have your product when you buy, and you don't have any product when you don't buy anything. (Arrr COOKIE damnation!)

I Hope those who really want to use HTC are going to buy now :(.
With this bugs sales stops. :(
Otherwise, their is some peoples who bought HTC (more that I thought).

Vincent, would it not be easier to just take payments from people via paypal then "you" email them the key yourself?

That way you can keep a record of each customers details and HTC key just in case the customer needs it again, and you don't have to worry about the site giving away the details to people that didn't buy HTC.

@Joseph : Yep, it's a good suggestion, but sometimes I have to travel trough europe for many days, without having access to the net. And I don't want people feel "stolen" during these days... So I need a site that give directly the key or the product (source or content packs) to the buyer.

So now it seems to work. Have you seen a bug on the site ?
