Projects

We always have something on the go, things we do outside of our everyday working hours. Here you can see what we're doing and where we're upto and learn more about how good we are by seeing what we're able to do!

if you have any questions, feel free to contact us and ask. We're more than happy to answer any questions... well almost any!

AllTracked is a website statistics packages which was started several years ago (we believe back in 2004, but we can't exactly remember... A long time anyways!). It has slowly evolved from a simple hit tracking system to eventually include referral tracking, Return On Investment tracking, heat map tracking, affiliate tracking, split testing, multivariate testing, and much, much, much more.

AllTracked was initially launched a few years back, but Google came out with Google Analytics not long after which put a quick stop to anything AllTracked was ever going to be. Since then, the evolution has continued and surpassed the functionality Google has to offer. We have trailed AllTracked with several local people, all of which have said they prefer AllTracked to Google. Pretty good talk up if we don't mind saying so ourselves!

We are planning on creating a new card game (not named as of yet) which will be based on soccer. It will be a free to play game an more than likely link in with the social media networks such as Twitter and Facebook. It is in the very early stages of planning at the moment, we're still deciding which frame work will work better for this, rules for the game, how it will work with social media networks, and of course still trying to find that elusive eye / ear catching name to use!

Basically if you can imagine the likes of Magic The Gathering meets fifa from the Xbox / Playstation you can see what we're trying to come up with. We're hoping to have something playable before the end of the year, but nothing polished. It will be more of a pre-alpha kind of thing. Once a name / domain has been purchased the entire development process will be viewable / playable online.

We are in the process of re-creating our own image / website / corporate identity. As a group we have actually accomplished a lot of the years we've been running together and looking to take that step further and have people actually see what we're doing and how good we are at doing it.

The idea of the new D&S Wares website will be basically a hub for everything we do, this includes our projects, personal blogs, example scripts, and a way for people to contact us if they have any work they'd like to get done by the team.

Our main goal over the next couple of years is to get a couple of small projects up and running to start funding some bigger projects. We really would like to get more into the game development side of things, but we've got a long way to go before we can start producing high enough quality games in a short enough amount of time.

This has been an on again off again project for us for some time now, we've started and restarted and then started again with this thing. It is definitely something we would like to (and will eventually complete). The next step is going to be yet again another total re-write. Previously written in flat PHP, we're going to speed the process up and standardize it by creating it inside a frame work (more than likely CakePHP).

The basic idea behind the game is an online graphical based, real time strategy game. It'll be a futuristic space conquest game and will have elements from games such as Master of the Orion, Sim City, and various other sim games.

The hardest (but coolest) part to this project is making something that's entirely real time, and entirely graphics based game which uses nothing but HTML an AJAX. We are tempted to move some of the battle systems into Flash to prevent cheating... but we're hoping we can work out a way which is secure and also trust our community to not do that kind of thing anyways!
