Spring RTS Engine

How long is the delay time before a news item posts from the community news to the frontage? Can it be removed please?

so the new site is dead ?

Tim said somewhere else he was unable to work on this due to his job and was taking a break from the site.

He also promised he would finish the site himself when his work dies down in january.

Looks nice.

looks cool.

I like it, few suggestions:

Borders on the 2 picture boxes.

A vibrant red-orange with a horizontal gradient on the top would really improve it, either to black, or grey, on the buttons side.

Short, sweet, to the point... I think I like it... I'd like to see some concepts of what it would look like "inside"... also



I really like 1, your header... not sure on the color thinking something more camo-or khaki

I don't like 2, the "web 2.0" roundiness here... I think a drop shaddow for the stuff "on the top"

3 should be "shiny rounded" like you have 2 instead.

I would lik to see "drop shaddows" at 2 and 4 instead of just matte... it might be going too far though...

I would have added drop shadows on the rounded boxes but I didn't know how in paint .net. Remember this isn't html+css it's mouse+paintbrush. I just wanted to show sort of what I had in mind, so don't treat it as a photographic representation.

So yah, the boxes need something on the edges like a shadow and a better detail on header and the menu bar/buttons need actual detail etc. That would be in the html version. But for now this is just concept art not work in progress.

yeah... what you said was exactly what I was talking about...

But still, just to be clear.

too big text

That's sort of the point, it's a front page not a news column, so you want big eye catching text, and not much of it.

For example:

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/

Something more like that would work much better for our front page than walls of text aligned in boxes with the odd thumbnail and emoticon.

The top banner I put as red because it matches the new logo artwork I did for the installer and the icons, and it serves as the highlight colour to the 2 shades of complimentary blues.

I love it.

And good call not putting in the screenshot an LRPC made from bricks and mortar (complete with construction crew and a guy holding a clipboard)

Almost looks like a blog, no don't like that. Needs to be more individual.

I made a more metallic-looking spring logo, instead of the big plain text. How U like?

I like the design concept, but I'd rather put the three main choices in big buttons that are next to each other under the spring logo, and when I say big I mean BIG.

Actually i dont read too big texts, because they are usually just useless ads on web.

Which is why i dont like it...

Do a flash based website, include the second trailer. ;]

Pretty nice. Could use some improvement, reminds of the old gunbound.net interface. Except not 100% flash so it takes forever to load...
