I just created a new website at startropicshq.com. Right now there's nothing on it since I still need to make the website. I still plan on providing info regarding ST1 and ST2 but this site will have much more emphasis on user created content. Primarily it will be a place to showcase my game. And if I can get things working correctly, a place where people will be able to upload their custom dungeons created for my game, fan art and wallpapers, etc. Pretty much everything found here in the forums but you won't have to go digging though a bunch of old threads to find it. I'm going to start work on it this weekend but I don't know when it will be fully operational. |

So you basically went with what we PM-ed each other about...  Cool stuff gellin! I should be your first bookmark. Were you the one who made that pic of Mike on there? LOL, very cool, most appropriate...  |

This is exciting news, gellin! I'm excited to see how the site looks when you get a layout on there.
As a side note, would you object to putting a link to my website up there once you're finished??? If not that's cool, w/e. Just asking. Hehe

I don't think I can compete with mitch's site when it comes to the layout unless I was to copy everything he did, which I'm not going to do. I do think I can top him in content though.
As for your site S2H, I don't even know what your site is right now and have never seen it. Do you have a link?

I do...it's s2hcreationsinc.t35.comI will gladly put a link to your site up in return. The site isn't completely up and running yet, I've still got more pictures to upload and a couple of pages to create content for, but it's got a main page and a partial image gallery. |

I'm interested in everyone's opinions on the layout for the site. Here is a mockup I created this morning in paint. Keep in mind nothing is anywhere near final and there will definitely be more stuff on the left side besides what I have there. Let me know what you think of it whether it's good or bad.  |

I think that looks very good but I thought the site was going to be just for your game and not ST 1 & 2? Either way it would be great to see them on there to. Will the message board part of your site link to here or a board you plan on starting?

I do rather like that layout gellin. The text colors and palm tree "bullets" are great... Here's an idea, take it or leave it: When an ST1 link is clicked (info, enemies...) then the background goes from the night title screen to the daytime title screen. When an ST2 link is clicked, the background becomes the final scene where Mike is chasing after the Argonians when they leave C-Island (in color). For ST3 and other, well, you can choose what pics to have there... One question, you have places for Login, Username, and Password. What are your plans with all that? Are you gonna have special features available only to registered members? OR, is the entire site only gonna be available to members, period?  |

I too, think the layout is great, although the black background could be a bit more interesting, like a dark grey montage of pictures/sprites. I love the palmtree effect with the updates, too |

I thought of that too Dood, though I didn't know if it would make the whole site look too busy or something.  Ah, what the heck, we're just throwing ideas out here. Do you think the ST box cover would be a nice background? I always thought it was a pretty picture, and should be used as a desktop or something like that... |

I'll look into doing something with the left side some more but I'm not sure about that. Like you said coralcola, it could make it look too busy. Whatever I do will have to be nice and subtle. I'm glad you all like it so far. MJ, I'm going to provide info on the original games because, after all, this is the StarTropics Headquarters not just ST3 headquarters . The entire site will be visible to the public without ever logging in. I would like to use this message board but for what I'm planning, it seems very unlikely. Here's what I'd like to do if I can make it all work. You create a username and that is what you will use to post on the message board at my site. That same username will also allow you to upload fanart/wallpapers/custom dungeons/etc. When your files are uploaded your username will be given credit for it. Only when logged in will you be able to rate other peoples art and dungeons and write comments about them as well. |

I really like the layout so far, gellin. It's simple, yet eye catching with the contrasts in colors. I also like the idea of membership to upload and comment on things.

Is there anyone here that wants to help me write a small description for the enemies/bosses/items for the site? Either way, just so you all know my site is going live sometime tomorrow night.
