Redesign!

Posted by matt-likes-swords - February 8th, 2012


Got a few complaints about the redesign, although I'm still exploring...

The icons near the top of the front page need some descriptions next to them (same goes for the browsing pages). I like the look of the "P-Bot's picks" bit, most areas should look like that. Just a thumbnail may work fine for art, but I think games and movies need a bit more information without needing to mouse over. I think you should also include the score next to those.

The backgrounds are a bit overwhelming. They look cool and all, but it's hard to get used to them when they keep changing. Maybe just lower the contrast/brightness on them or something?

I don't really like how stars represent ratings now, that seems a bit unoriginal. But I don't have any better suggestions and I'll probably get used to it.

On the movie/games pages, I think the stats (filesize especially) should be a bit higher up on the page. But maybe it's just me who looks at that stuff.

Anyway, overall it looks pretty good, and I like how the big game icons look on my user profile :D

Redesign!


Comments

I agree with all of this~

I like the star ratings much more.

First Redesign now a EBF4 Pic hhnnnngggggg best day ever :)
Look at all the Buffs/Debuffs that's intense

1: we cant submit a flash or Artwork right now
2: flash portal buddies list is gone! WTF?!
3: no more new flashes in frontpage! that was the thing i loved the most in Newgrounds!
4: we cant know wich or how many pepole added our ART°FLASH or AUDIO to there favourite
5: USERS banner image are gone!!!
theres probably more things to complain about

Bocodamondo:
1. Yes, because there is too much traffic.
2. Yes, because there is a new more convenient way.
3. You hit one button to get there. Problem?
4. We can see how many people did, on the projects page.
5. Lol didn't notice, maybe so. But I don't mind.

They're exactly the points I were thinking of! :D

awesome bout the redesign only one problem: i can't find the blogs! D:
(i found this on the home page)

Ooh,looks nice!:P And,will we be goin' through waves again?

The new background look cool but seriously,I have been a lot of time on newgrounds and suddenly, everything changes... Lots of shortcut have been deleted. I know they tried to make it look very cool but... I don't know...
Also,for the new battle system,whats the deal with all those icons on the enemies. Otherwise,it look good.

Hey Matt, it's one of your big fans here again. I've got to say, I love how the game's looking. The addition of new stat buffs is making this game even more in-depth in terms of strategy and what not, and the new character looks marvelous by the way. I'm curious as to how they meet her. Maybe they just find her unconscious without memory. Meh, that's cliche, but this series takes that and makes it new. She seems like a tomboy. Maybe somebody that catches Matt's attention and Nat gets a little jealous. I don't know, I'm guessing. And now with a bow, you've got a real diverse party. The Offensive capabilities of Matt, the Healings of Nat, the Technology and bombs of Lance, and now the ranger capabilities of...I don't know her name but I'll be excited when I see that game come out later this year.

hey matt when you think you will finish out the game? or will you release it after we survive 21/12/12?

Please! give us a demo.
CANNOT WAIT ANY FREAKIN LONGA!!!!

Look awesome ! (and the girl is an obvious easter egg, she look really like saria of Oot)

About the game: isn't there supposed to be something that allows your person to equip stuff?

I'm glad to see you taking your time on this and not giving in to any pressure like so many do when faced with an increasingly anxious audience. Looks grand, and I'll be looking forward to this. :)

I think the battle menu could be improved if you added the attack power and MP cost,etc. right under the icon for each skill.you could use different colors to signify which is ATK,which is -MP,which is HP+,and all the little things that make a good game a great game.ive got plenty of ideas to fine tune the little things throughout the game if you ever wat some kind of input.just send me a message and ill help out in any way i can as long as you keep working on this game.its been my favorite series for quite some time now and id be honored to contribute in its production

So far the game looks amazinggggg. It looks so good I am just craving for the Game to come out. And so far I think you have a goood pace. Work hard! :) :)))))))))
