It seems more playful to me.

Well I do understand that, but there are no blocks or designs in EE that has zig-zags, so it does seems off-topic.
Sames go for wave. I would just put an <hr/> with a 60% width, keeping it simple.

Pingohits · 2015-03-31 00:14:24

i don't really like the background being removed

Maybe make it an option?

Abelysk · 2015-03-31 00:19:22

I really am starting to think the whole forums.everybodyedits.com is picky.

okay, here's what I got...

http://jawapa.bl.ee/demo/ee2/

it's almost done... i think. Idk i've changed my mind about 400 times already on the design.

I love it! It might be better if the buttons on the left side had an outline so they are more visible.

Good job though.

BEE · 2015-03-31 01:39:40

I didn't even really notice a difference so it's all good to me!

maybe add a scroll bar?
I like the game to be in the center, or more like the top

My bad, bigger outline.
But it's hard for people to play in non-fullscreen, there's just way too
much happening in the background. Perhaps you should stick to a different background.

mrjawapa · 2015-03-31 02:00:09

The way I made the website, everything is centered. So I can't really do that.

I could make it so when you darken the background then the logo at the top disappears. Then the game will be dead center of the browser.

Yeah just play around with it and give us a few examples of some layouts you've thought of.
Then ask the community which one they prefer.
You're not going to get a layout everyone likes, people are really picky here.

Bobithan · 2015-03-31 02:11:23

A lot of people like how in the current site design the game is in the top of the screen rather than the center. It might be best to keep it that way, since we are all so used to the game being in that position.

mrjawapa · 2015-03-31 02:12:33

Even if I do that, not much would change for most users. I'm using the most common resolution and the margins and everything fit almost perfectly.

Bobithan · 2015-03-31 02:15:18

Fair enough. Also, the fanmade site designs that this is based off of (Squad's and Mylo's) had plans to make the background image shuffle between different backgrounds every time the page was loaded to serve as inspiration for level building. Are you thinking of implementing that?

Actually, yeah. It's easy to implement... just need to find some backgrounds.

Which leads me to this: I need backgrounds for the site. I'll probably use 5-10.

Shuffling backgrounds images seem nice. Gotta think up a layout first though

mrjawapa · 2015-03-31 02:36:37

That's what it will do. Every time the website is loaded a random image will be placed. But I need to find some good worlds pics for it.

how about just some common games in EE, so when a guest joins they know what its about..

Contest time!

Or you know, go to random worlds to do it.

Or just make your own lol.

or perhaps check out the "Daily Random Maps" that Dazz does.

:o

deff. going to check that.

BuzzerBee · 2015-03-31 03:49:39

I'm too lazy to quote but
@JaWapa
About the logo, I mean it's highly based on the one RPGM2K made. However, looking at it again it seems fine to me as long as there's no nav bar or anything else to push the game down. I and many other players prefer the game closer to the top, and people with smaller screens are able to play without scrolling down.

Also for the background(s) I highly recommend unfocused backgrounds (like the images in my sig) as it doesn't distract nearly as much and gives the website a nice dimensional, ambient atmosphere.

Or better yet, scratch everything and go with material design (;

mrjawapa · 2015-03-31 04:19:07

Blurry background could work... but I would need to rewrite a few things.

A logo is a logo, the one we use just makes sense. No point in changing it.

Material designs would clash with EE, i think.

BuzzerBee · 2015-03-31 04:55:41

I know, I was joking about material design.
And maybe you misunderstood what I said, I do like the logo.

Also I really like this new site design you have uploaded. Simple and responsive. Just needs that unfocused background (not sure if you want to do that in code or have the image already blurred, but I would suggest blurring it in an image editor because it saves space and would probably load faster)

I'd still prefer the game higher up but I think I can get used to it

EDIT: Why is toops profile in the social media links

Yeah, I'll probably do this.

It's a link to profiles, I just threw toop's profile in there for the lulz
