ENIGMA site redesign 2

Posted by a2h on Jan. 14, 2008, 7:12 p.m.

Yes, I am still here. Only difference is that I play Tremulous a lot nao and I'm even more awesome at web design. Anyways, as the title says, I am doing (another!) redesign for ENIGMA's website. Reason? Well, atm it still doesn't exactly look very professional, so I decided to have a little chat with Josh and ended up saying I would do a redesign that looked a bit like Kubrick (Wordpress default theme) but darker and glossier. And so I came up with this. I'll get a live demo up asap so that I can prove it's not fake. Also, I'm going to say this now rather than later: it shares a few things with a2h's universe v8. Mind you the only similarities of the two designs are that contentbg.png and footerbg.png is used by both of them… (go figure out what in the screenshot above is those two by yourself)

Anyways, even though Tremulous is so old (ONE YEAR!), I just started playing and I love it =D my favourite servers are SST Tremulous and Dretch*Storm. It's an awesome FPS and you can choose aliens or humans. And other stuff. Just play it, it's awesome.

@stampede and edmunn - imo the current ENIGMA logo looks fine, and the site doesn't need to be TOO cool, does it? I mean, it's a competitor to Game Maker, not some fancy high tech uber site. My design idea came from the G-Creator/lolcode themes (presumably the Doku Wiki default theme). Also, I've forgotten to ask Josh for a large size version of the ENIGMA logo, so I had to rip it directly off the ENIGMA banner. Which explains its blurriness. A lot.

Oh, and have a look at Eclipse's website.

I'm not trying to ensure that I'm the only one to design for Josh's ENIGMA website, I'm just trying to make some points. The only reason I designed for Josh's website is, as the previous blog explained from its quote, out of both boredom and the want to make the original site look better.

Also, the screenshot is of a DRAFT version of the design.

Giant blur = fudging distracting

…Don't do graphics biggoron. It just doesn't seem to fit the Enigmna feel that we've been anticipating. =/

@Stampede:

Wow. Good colours, and the logo screams K.I.S.S. Awesome.

I find it funny that ENIGMA's website is on v3 already, while the program itself isn't even half done.

I think the site should be more ENIGMAtic. [/lamejoke]
