Design a Front End for the Spring Website.

Do remember I said that it would show more games than just those two. A design like that without Kernal Panic and Gundam and a few other sexy games just wouldn't work.

Yes, Spring is free, but that's a bit pushing it.

EA did it with Battlefield: Heroes... in that Vid... so i think it is what you can hook people up - it kind of lets off what the designers are really thinking -after emphasizing this - what shines thrue is

This is really valueable content, a great artisthearts offspring, code&blood - and we hand it out for free. Four crying out loud... Shame on the world..well get it you PIrats, thiefs... buhuhuu

So much for unsaid - messages -

Snipa- you save the evening- contentpicturepercent bitchfight on the Approach - Gundam has two red(orpink) pixels more then PURE - and EE countryside is photoshoped togethers with s44s, way to early... betrayal...and in general scifi-Mods have to bright colours..

I throw a free round of fuel - somebody has matches or thermit?

It should show more games than just S:44 and SW:IW, though ONLY ONE *A game, if ANY, they all look about the same model-wise.

Also, I think it would look better if the New Release area had some bullets and perhaps a few changes from a change log or entered by one of the game devs, instead of that second pic with the tigers.

Here is one of my ideas. A scrolling bar where mods can be advertised if you will, there is an easier way to do it, rather then my disgusting complex html mess, which would most likely involve flash.

Code: Select all

<html>
<body>
<marquee bgcolor="#FF9900" scrollamount="3"><table border="0" cell="3" cellspacing="3"><tr><td><a href="http://spring.clan-sy.com/wiki/BloX" title="BloX"><img alt="BloX" src="http://s170.photobucket.com/albums/u246/rcdraco/BloX/th_ResourceTrucks.png"><td><a href="http://spring.clan-sy.com/wiki/The_Plot_of_War" title="The Plot of War"><img src="http://s170.photobucket.com/albums/u246/rcdraco/th_screen011.jpg"></td></tr><tr><td>BloX</td><td>The Plot of War</td></tr></table></a></marquee>

What a crazy idea...

Free sublimal ads eh?

Sorry, but no scrolling stuff. Please nonono.

Can we make it so that each time the homepage is loaded/refreshed, it'll pick a different set of mods to advertise?

If there is anything scrolling involved, I will personally hunt down and sodomize the person responsible.

I like the Floralyst concept, although I have a slightly different idea, that I stole from the "webring" concept...

Anyhoo, glad to see some visuals to chew on, I'm finally home, I'm going to get to work...

and did you look up sodomize in the dictionary before using it?

Aegis, Felix knows - oh, forget it.

Lots of pictures = good

Simple, largely unchanged design from what we have currently, but with more pictures = win

I say we steal the Floralyst design style just because the irony is too wonderful.

Hi,

I proposed a new website idea on another post a long time ago. I said I'd do it with real HTML and stuff BUT I wasn't able to do what was in my head (damn, the last serious website I did was back in 2003 with FrontPage

), so I abandoned the project and went back to the shadows.

Now I saw this and had another idea, so I wanted to share it with you:

...

Ok, ok, just a joke... Here's the real thing:

Some points I wanted to talk about:

The Spring logo is so cool and nice, but it's not friendly with text and leaving it alone is the best thing we can do. Adding text may result in unnecessary noise.

The logo doesn't fit well at all in corners and sides of the website (yes, I tried), putting it there, in the middle of the top bar, makes it shine and look as good as it can.

The commander image is supposed to be an image that changes when the site is refreshed. That space should contain images made of win and epicness.

The menu bar has just some random options, just like the little introduction thingy. Just placeholders.

What do we want to promote? The engine or the games (mods)? Or maybe both? With this design the new user can see what the engine is all about and can check out some cool mods. The images are supposed to link to a mini website with some basic info about the mods.

And that's it. No real HTML or whatever you use now to make websites, just a concept image.

OPINIONS,
I WANTS THEM.

I love it I love it I love it...

6x win and thanks for keeping the colours nice...

Could you break apart this demo into component parts so that one of us web geeks can make it HTMLerific?

edit: by component parts I mean,

Background image
Top header
Main template at the top without any text
Little inbetween bit
Menu left Side, Separators, Menu Right Side
Bottom box background
little image box image without any picture or text
bottom footer thing

@ floralyst, i wasn't encouraging the website's design, just showing the marquee
