[ANN] -- The switch has been thrown!

If you go to (url="http://"http://www.escape-velocity.com/")http://www.escape-velocity.com/(/url) you may notice that things have changed slightly...

This revamped web site is not finished. We are making it available to you now to solicit feedback, but before you give us any, please note:

  • Add-On Files - We have a really cool script for browsing, downloading, uploading, and describing the files in our archives; hang tight, it's coming. If you really want to see it (or really need to download a particular plugin), go here, but keep in mind it's extremely unrefined at the moment, and many things will look ugly or not work as you'd expect.

  • Screenshots, Questions? - The Screenshots gallery, and the Questions? section both are coming soon -- their contents should be fairly obvious.

  • Misc stuff - There will be cool "Obsidian" buttons down below that mirror the Options on the right, I haven't decided about the white space between the bar and this area, some surveys still need to be made, and there are other little odds and ends I need to tidy up.

  • The area below - Currently the area below this text is fairly boring, isn't it? Not to worry, I plan to spice it up with graphics shortly.

Everything else works, so dive in and give it a whirl. Everything under "Resources" is admined by folks from the EV/EVO community!

Just a quick note here -- in the future, announcements like this won't be posted to the web boards, they will be submitted to the EV/EVO Newswire:

(url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/games/ev/newswire.html")http://www.AmbrosiaS...v/newswire.html(/url)

-and-
(url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/games/evo/newswire.html")http://www.AmbrosiaS...o/newswire.html(/url)

(the same newswire is shared by both EV and EVO, so either page will work fine)

I'm just posting these announcements to the web board for now, while people get used to the new site organization (after it goes live "for real", I'll stop posting these announcements to the web boards, and begin posting them to the newswire -- I encourage you to do the same thing).

Andrew, this is getting cooler by the minute. Nice job!

Now how about a kaliedoscope scheme with the new ambrosiasw.com look?

Thanks, glad you're liking it -- I need to finish up the web site for EV (and the rest of Ambrosia and our products) before I get into kaliedoscope scheme's tho 🙂

I guess I'm in the minority, but I hate the new designs. I can't find anything. I have the same problem with the main Ambrosia site. The menu bar is incomplete.

Why can't you find anything on the ev.com site? All of the links are over on the righthand side of the main page.

If you're looking for plugins, please read the text on the left that says the site isn't complete, and what is missing.
