Updates
BIG NEWS!
TLDR: Site overhaul soon!
Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've made an update post! Sorry for the lack of major updates, I've sort of lost passion for this website. I've been sort of going through a reflective period recently, about how I want to present myself to the public. I'd like to share some of these thoughts with you guys.
First off, what are my plans for the future? I want to draw more art and make more games.
What's the purpose of this site? I want it to be a centralized place to store my art and games publicly. Currently, most of my projects are only available on my PC and random private Discord servers.
What features on my site are preventing this purpose? It's a bit annoying to navigate there are so many sections with their own subsections. There's this illusion of minimalism, where the site looks so minimalistic but in actuality there's so much clutter and unneeded confusion. Worst of all, it's annoying to upload new artwork. With twitter or discord, I just need to upload the image. With this website I have to upload the image and then replace the html for four pages. Did I mention the different category pages are all manually coded??? There's no algorithm automatically doing it, this is done by me.
In short, I find it so much easier to post new art on twitter or discord than on my website, even though this is entirely a problem I can fix!
What can I do to change this? I'm going to be working on a revamped version of this website over the summer. The goal is to move away from the current idea of "huge sitemap you gotta explore" to "compact one page with everything you could ever want". The site will be a compact single page with multiple sections representing each of the categories thus allowing you to view everything at a glance. Also the gallery will only be one page instead of having four types, allowing uploading to be less of a hassle.
How am I going to plan this out? I will try to finish my MVP/Beta sometime before the summer ends. The final product shall be done by sometime in the fall.
v1.0
All the art has been uploaded and I am done with everything. It's unlikely I will work on improving this website given how much I learned that I hate CSS and HTML. I will add minor updates periodically, but for now it will just be art uploads. My next big plans will be adding a more animated background (fog effect?), a RSS feed, a website button and a chatbox.
alpha9
Finished all the html and css for the art. All I need to do is upload it all.
alpha8
Sorry for the lack of updates, I got burned out of making this website. I'm busy with college and just my mind is on other things. But don't worry! The release is coming soon. I got back into making the website and have stuff saved on my machine. For now, I just added the art main hub page. I will design the buttons and then add the art pages and we should be ready. I'll get this done in the next week or so.
alpha7
Created the updates, links and aboutme. I'll add art next and then we should be out of alpha.
