PC-FX Tome of Obey

[Necromancer]

Needs more pink and lower contrast for better readability.

[Arkhan]

One step at a time here guy.  I think today/tomorrow I will actually get at least the gamelist up with some working game pages, and then we can see what people think before going further.

[Arkhan]

Hey cool, I hate Dreamweaver and accidentally realized I can just use VIsual Studio.

Game page at least should be up tonight, with Battle Heat and Zeroigar pages.


The homepage needs work, so I will just make the Yuna page plop to the game page if you click

Hey that.... actually doesn't look too bad.

As far as people whining about readability.... My motto, and I've learned this from experience, is f*ck 'EM. Do what looks good to you.

[Arkhan]

I brightened it slightly.  We will see how it turns out.  I saved the one you see there incase people want to have that instead.

Incase you have not noticed, and you will shortly anyways, sunteam_paul did the design work, and this will be the pretty pretty pink princess version of PC Engine Software Bible.

So, the layout for game pages will be the same.

Once the game pages are coming together and people like how it is, I will slowly fill out and make all of the pages active.  Once the ball gets rolling well, it really won't be TOO bad, especially if others want to pony up their own screenshots/run downs of games.

AND, once the game pages are likeable and in the "steadily being filled" phase, I will do the hardware section.   

I fear videos will be the last part of what is added only because I don't do the whole video thing.  I have no way to capture gameplay nicely.  I can use Hypercam and wing it, I suppose.

But I mean, you've all seen my YouTube videos.  They are pretty ghettofab.

We will get to that when we get to it.  I HAVE been looking into ways to do video capture nicely.  I find video making kind of boring though so the motivation is not there really... >_>

Can't say I like the name, but the I love the page design!

[Arkhan]

I DONT LIKE YOUR NAME.  JERK.

lol.

I might see if Aaron is ok with me lifting screenshots of games that he has provided, especially Zeroigar.  I find playing the game with a keyboard is a pain in the ass and as a result, I was unable to fiddledick my way to where the game starts becoming even more futuristic.  I've captured the gameplay good, but not the progression of the game, though, maybe that is a good thing.  

I also found that hovering over the screenshot key during an action game is really difficult also.  I may give the Zeroigar screenshots another go, but the ones I have are pretty good for starts.

I'm not holding high hopes for some of the digital comics as far as screens go.   Its like showing 5 pages from a comic book.  They will all look nice... !

Screenshot taking tip: Pick up a cheap USB controller or PS2 DualShock->USB adapter. Map one of the shoulder buttons to the screen capture function and you can snap off screenshot after screenshot without affecting your game in any way. This is how I do it for Duomazov.

The cheap USB controller I picked up was about $9, new, from a local video game store.

MagicEngine allows you to map any function to any button, I would imagine ME-FX would be the same.

[Arkhan]

Oh man.  my wired PS3 controller (TRON FTW!) works as a game pad.  Great!

That will make Zeroigar screens better.

I will be putting the underconstruction but viewable stuff in a few here.  Only Zeroigar and BattleHeat pages will be active, and the Zeroigar screens will be upgraded, but now you can see where its headed and Ill get some feedback before I go too far into something noone even likes...

There you go, how bad is it?

[nat]

Can Can Bunny probably needs to move to Dating Sims....

[Necromancer]

Lookin' good!  Just one quibble - quite a few consoles had mice before the FX came along (all three of the 16-bitters and a few of the niche machines).

I use Fraps + VirtualDub + Windows Movie Maker (the old one, not the dumbed down new version). Works fine.

Yeah, but they weren't exactly useful mice.

I should look into fraps.

Hypercam is kind of dumb

[Necromancer]

Yeah, but they weren't exactly useful mice.

How so?  I never used 'em on the CD-i or V-tech or any of the other crap machines (where useful isn't in their vocabulary anyway), but they work just dandy on the Turbob and SNES.
