Love it, u and Pasquale nailed it … its got that retro feel but at the same time really slick. Like getting a new Super Nintendo…
That is exactly the feel we were going for! Now, all we need is some 8-bit video game background music. Which may not be a bad idea actually!
The changes are slowly starting to go live! I am updating the fonts on the tutorial pages with a handful of glitches that I will slowly address momentarily.
The next frontier here will be updating the look of the forums. I am likely going to be tweaking this official theme, which you can preview by clicking here!
It looks great
I hope you have a pixelated sun (and moon for the dark theme)
Yep, the forum needs it! just a pixelated bkg blue would be a huge difference.
Regarding the pixelated sun and moon, that is a great idea!
Still haven’t forgotten about making the forums look nicer! Here is a theme from Discourse that seems like a good candidate to use here and then modify with the more pixel-themed visuals. Thoughts?
Love it, Pasquale and you did a great job:a tiny smile on my face: It’s incredibly sleek and has that vintage vibe all at once. Such as purchasing a new Super Nintendo
Thanks
More design updates! This time, the typography has been cleaned up a bit.
Plus, we now have a revised footer:
All of this is still a WIP, but I do hope to be getting closer to wrapping up the main site work and then shifting to the forums in a week or so.
Love it!. Looks great
Almost reaching the end of all the changes. I’ve started updating the forums with the latest styles and fonts. There is still a bunch of little things to do, so I hope to tackle those tomorrow.
The changes are slowly starting to go live.
The font looks pretty sweet, what’s the font?… or did you make your own?
Not that, but the font is pretty cool! I didn’t make it myself. I don’t have those kinds of skills!
The font is Born2bSporty for the headings and Chakra Petch for the body. I describe those here: About this Site
No, the thing I wanted to point to is the pixelated orange logo. I got permission from the original creator to use it as the site’s logo!
Super cool that you got the original logo back!
Nice! Super clean. Love the dark theme [blue] feeling and customizations.
(sorry, can’t stop imagining those clouds moving super, super slow
Great job!
Thanks!
Also, I just noticed that we don’t have moving clouds on the forums! That’s something I’ll try to fix in the near future.
This was so fun to jam on with you man!
