OMG UPDATE, OF AWESOME

[Spirit]

CHECK IT OUT


It's not done yet, there are no links....
But tell me what you think.
What do you want added?
What do you want removed?
What needs serious improvement, etc.
Do you want to see them all updated like this?

Disclaimer: Stats etc subject to change

Hmm.. the text part of things, especially the new additions of Home Range, Training and Breeding are neat, but at first impressions glance the border around the tables looks a bit awkward. One suggestion to fix it could be to make the table border thickness 0 and use a thin divider between the different breeds, whether the usual <hr> or a self-drawn one? :3

Not too sure of an impression on the stat layout just yet. I like the concept of it :3 With showcasing how different moves and stats develop at different stages in life, but the Base Stats listing looks a bit crammed since Mentality and Cunning go onto a separate row (plus everything is shortened so those new to the site wouldn't be able to tell immediately what 'Men' and 'Cun' is and confusing new folk is a design no-no).

Other than that, nice work~

[Avrielle]

It looks great :D
Maybe for the stats you could do some fancy java codage, and you can click on buttons that read Baby Juvinille Adult Old and the stats slide into existance below?
I'll try to find a way t ocode what i mean later x,o

-echoes darky's suggestion of ridding the borders and adding divider-

[Skylark]

Are the stats only going to be listed on the species pages of individual species? If so, it might be more convenient to have them (and maybe the moves, too), written in such a way that it can be easily copy/pasted. Otherwise, any new members and old members adopting a new pet will have to write everything out themselves and that might take... a while. Especially when we're moving everything over at first.

I love it! =3


EDIT:
I like the juvie stats/adult stat/baby stat etc. idea where it comes up for c/p.
Though, I DO like the borders. ^^ So I'd prefer borders rather than simple dividers.

[Silas Sanctum]

I like it so far- but agreeing with most people here, it does need some easy copy/paste. It would make it easier for newbies, and we long-time members would love the simplicity, I figure. ^^

I like the simple boarders, a lot. Gives a... I don't really know how to put it. Maybe 'Uniform' look to it? It brings the page together a bit. Draws in the eyes.

Anyway, YES, I would love to see ALL the pet pages this way.


Keep up the good work Spirit- I can hardly wait for the final product (of course I am patient- but you know what I mean- just excited)!

[Twilight-Claw]

I really like the way it looks, especialy the extra bits of info on what the general species is like, and the way that all the Chiryma are boxed in makes it easier to see which is which.

But the trainable moves make me curious in the way if it means that it can only learn those extra bits besides there natural one's or if it means that those are just the more commonly taught moves to them and a trainer has still room to learn it moves uncommon to its kind but still be doable and all.

Although I'm not sure if its possible in those small white screens you click on, I think it would look much smoother if for example when clicking Natural Moves and see *Baby* listed (and all the others with a *word*) that instead of the * that surounds them it, it could be underlined or bold to make the point in what growth stage they are in with each stat. ^o^;

I hope the MML Stats page still exists after this though, it would certainly make it easy enough to copy paste new stats here and there and have the base stats on the Chiryma page be the sneak preview of what there like at first glance.. or maybe having the stats on the chiryma page be removed and have at least that part like the old one showing a link that brings them to there stats page.
If someone really likes the way most of there kind behave, or the looks of the creature, than I don't think it would matter much that they need to click on that one extra link that would count for 1/3 in whether they want to own it or not.

Can't wait to see what the finished version will be looking like, and I hope my rambling helped some. :D

ROUND 2!!!


A few things to keep in mind:

1: I'll update the "top bar" to be new and improved.
2: I'll update the side tabs to not have text, but symbols (an egg for adoption, a sword and shield for stats, an encylopedia book for ... encyclopedia... etc).
3: I'll figure out how to extend the "grey line" (if you see what I mean).


WHATCHA' THINK?!??!?????

[Ashe]

Oh, wow! I really like this. Not sure what else to say because I just got a jolt of re-excitement!

[RikuLetircani]

I love it! =3


Maybe you could have a drop down menu to choose which breed you want to view in the stat and adoption pages? Instead of having them be really long for species with many breeds. (Like the Chyrima) ^^

[Darky]

Love the tabs :3 Certainly helps break up the page and information into more easily digestible portions.
Though the numerical stats box still looks a bit clunky.

[Avrielle]

I love it!
I think for the grey bars legnth, find whatever height setting it is and change to 100%?
it very smooth an duncluttered and such :D

Also, while itll make a longer code, its more bandwidth-efficient to code tables for the sidebar than to use images. ^^;

Last update for the teaser.
All links work (but what they link to isn't exactly updated yet).
Parting shots for me to fix before I work on making it live?

[Darky]

Lovely layout and icon design~

[Twilight-Claw]

There is going to be a Lore for each species? Nice. <3

The icons look great, and with the background/banner it makes the site give an real mature but very cool outlook as a whole.
The only thing I'm not so sure about is the stats, with the shortening of for example Stamina to Sta, wouldn't it be a bit confusing for new players on the meaning of that?
