Site Suggestion

@Ash  - Jan. 7, 2012, 6:03 p.m.

Greetings humans,

I got an email from a guy saying that the site graphics are too bright and a bit outdated.

He thinks it should look something a little more like this

What do you all think? Is he crazy in the coconut or does he have a good point? The options are as follows.

  1. Keep the site the way it is.

  2. Update the graphics as suggested above.

  3. Update the site but do something completely different with it.

Go!

It looks busy. I'm all for simplicity. My eye doesn't know where to go with that stuff--the image appears to be basically all foreground to me, with a weak draw to the text due to the heavier outline there.

Also, equally spaced frets look weird.

...

Embedded Flash! :-)

EDIT: I'm unembedding Snaily Game, because that makes the page a bunch of MB heavier, which is kinda mean. But I did it and it worked!

Well My link still does not show lol, Plus they are fine, The guitars are both only going up from each side, it is not just one guitar it is 2. it would be weird and rather stupid for the text/icon spacing if you had smaller frets in the center lol

We even have tabs for Snailiad! In fact, the flash section was made to accommodate them! I've been meaning to make some Orisinal flash game tabs, but I'm too lazy. They have great music, though. I'm surprised nobody else has made any.

I'm surprised there's no mobile section. But then, I guess there doesn't need to be a section until someone submits a tab... seems like mobile is the way things are going, though.

I like Orisinal! The music and art style of the games make them so great XD

Haha, you can do it later. In beta, you could crawl around corners if you timed it right, but I eventually took that out, because one of my beta tested sequence broke doing that, and decided it was too hard where she got to, and quit and decided to never play again XD

I should have just made it so you could crawl around ceiling corners from the start, but by the time I realized that it was WAY too late (300+ rooms finished).

i still think haluz is the bomb, and haluz2 too of course.

im a big fan of point & clickers, and this is definitely one of the better ones; submachine is good too, if very simple and somewhat generic; exmortis is disturbingly and surprisingly creepy.

one of the weirdest was aunt priscilla has gone missing, or something like that...

I definitely think there should be a mobile section, too! An Iphone/Ipad/whatever the funk catch-all category has a lot of potential.

I was thinking a tab should be submitted first before the section is made, too. However, it's entirely possible that no tab has been submitted because there is no applicable section to house it. There are apparently Angry Birdz (ugh) tabs out there, but they aren't on Gametabs. There's also no mobile section on Gametabs.

Maybe there is a correlation, maybe not. Regardless, I completely agree that mobile is becoming much more prominent and we will eventually need a section for mobile game tabs.
