DevLog: July 02009

Created a MediaWiki extension for game grids! Observe!

I should really

  • bake the rounded box bg instead of 9-slice
  • add some javascript to make the bg highlight on mouse over. Maybe make it look like the card raises up off the page more.
  • and I need to put the link tag around each thing instead of the div, because otherwise mediawiki "cleans" it in a way that adds whitespace I don't want.

Made a sandbox game for Mini LD #11!

Play it here: Brickplacer

I put up a time-lapse of me working on it! on YouTube!

I'm not really happy with the game, though... I really had no idea where I was going with the concept, and it shows.

More website reskinning. I think it looks... good?

Did volley 02: link

July 14, 02009

Website reskinning in progress. The rounded box corners improve it way more than I thought it would.

What I'd like to do to it still:

  • Headings that go multiline are all kinds of ugly
    • and they need some right-margin
  • Colors in headings?
  • Way too much vertical spacing. I think all of these need tweaking:
    • line-height
    • 'p' tag
    • headings
  • I want a fancy grid of screenshots on the start page
  • gradient and/or dropshadow?
  • something going on the sides
    • just eye-candy
    • but not distracting
    • links at the bottom should probably be moved to the side?

Also, I'm pretty sure I did some neat things since the last log. I should retroactively log them.
