Here is another website to be added to my portfolio, HiddenNinjaGames.com.
The website is owned by a friend and young flash game developer, Eric Smith. Running the website HiddenNinjaGames.com reflects that it is not just a ninja but is hidden and playing games or something of the like.
Basically the website is powered by Arcadem Pro but is now supported by the newly developed JCustom Mod that I made. Obviously it no longer looks like another generic arcadem template, now this site probably is the most unique design and probably has the most functionality (both according to me 
) from other sites running the same script/cms engine.
The New HiddenNinjaGames.com brought to you by your friendly neighborhood developer
By running the mod system, the back end is easily managed and updated by the administrator even with out any knowledge of the scripting language (php). The user front end is also fantastically dynamic taking advantage of the newest technologies of Web 2.0. For developers, the mod system is also in efficient coding manner where as extending and plugging into already available features is like a feast of mixing drinks.
Take a peak into Hidden Ninja Games we know you’ll like it.

Amazing work Jayc, really awesome job. I’ve made Smith’s site my “rival” site since the first time I saw this (he still doesn’t know that yet, he might now hehe). I’ve always just found it fun competing with Alexa ranks and trying to compare myself to that site, I was new and he wasn’t that much further along than I, it seemed like the thing to do. One day I head over to his site to check out something pertaining to the article system built into Arcadem, and I see that he has a new design, very new. I instantly thought it was you, it looked great and reminded me of allgamesallfree (in style, not at all a copy in design). Amyway, I was definitely feeling like Smith got a boost over me once again, so I have to step up my game in SEO work and other areas. Overall, excellent design.
I’m really interested in knowing how you built upon arcadem, I may eventually have you fix up my site (who knows when, I’m broke at the moment). How much does a redesign like this cost? Can we still log into an admin panel of sorts and upload games, edit files and so on? Are we still able to upgrade Arcadem when new versions come out without compromising the new design? Feel free to respond here, or email me at contact@princeporter.com, I’m very interested in knowing how you went about this. Great job, keep it up.

Thanks Porter! Now Smith will know and might realize you as his rival too.
Also style might be similar to AGAF due to that they both asked for the same color style (light text over dark background) & quite similar color scheme (orangey(?) & black). Although AGAF runs with a different CMS, HNG uses Arcadem + JCustom Mod.
As for me building the site around arcadem, it’s basically just my mod (JCustom Mod). All basic features of arcadem are still there but is quite no longer used (by the new theme) since the mod already has better alternative solutions (esp w/ the plugins). See here for the brief intro into it.
I still have to make more formal documentations for it, so watch out.

You know Jay. All I can really say is WOW. I’d bore you with a wall of text, but I’ll spare you. Amazing job, well done!

Jayc did an AMAZING job. Before all of this, when I was contemplating getting a new design, I wasn’t so sure if it would be worth it. But trust me, now looking at it I have no doubt in my mind that it was the right thing to do. I’m so happy with the way it turned out.
Thanks Jayc!
PS: Porter, hello my fellow rival, looks like I have the upper hand now!
