I need help with a major aspect of LoE...
« on: May 23, 2001, 05:06:58 PM »
...the website.  

Yes, I\'ve decided that once Legacy of Emotion is released, it will need its own website.  It will hopefully include the following:

  • The full Legacy of Emotion game
  • Several RTP file mirrors
  • Downloading and installing instructions
  • Storyline information and character statistics
  • Screenshots
  • In-game music
  • Detailed walkthrough
  • Hints / tips / FAQ page
  • A Guestbook that allows for comments and questions to be posted
  • Credits
  • Any news concerning the "rumored" LoE sequel :)


That\'s basically it.  The only problem is,  I\'VE NEVER MADE A WEBSITE BEFORE!  Now, seeing as how I really don\'t have the time to learn, I\'d like one of you to help me.  I would be responsible for taking care of all the things listed above (i.e. writing the walkthrough, posting the screenshots, etc.), as well as the site\'s graphics, and whoever decides to help me would only have to set it all up on a spiffy little site (free-hosted, of course).  Now, since I\'ve never done this before, I don\'t know if what I\'m asking is a lot, but I hope someone with webpage design experience will step up to the plate.  If you are willing to help, and you promise to do your best and follow through with the task until the end, then there will be some kind of money-less reward in store.  If you have any questions, please post them here.

Eh?  A volunteer already?  Wow...

Sure, you can make the site.  I\'ll talk to you over AIM sometime and we can work out the details.  

If anybody disagrees with my decision to allow SS88 to make the site, then speak now!

I can help as well.  If you are really serious about this, maybe you can make a better messegeboard than that easy board stuff.  It might be worth your money to go vbb.  Also, see if PSX2central will host your site... aka...

A forum?  I never really thought about that.  Perhaps if LoE gets popular enough, then it would be a good addition.  I\'d try using an Ikonboard first though, before trying vBB.

Yeah, just use an Ikonboard, it\'ll be good for the situation. I can help you install the board (I have experience with setting up those bad boys ;)).

Suggestion for webhosting:
Use http://www.f2s.com. They\'re awesome - no ads on the pages (not like Geocities, homestead, tripod and all that other crap - stay away from those sites!). They give you 20 megs (more than enough for most people) and there are support for php etc. It\'s completely free of course, I can only recommend it. The site name would be (for instance): http://www.loe.f2s.com.

Hope that helps. :)

BTW, if you need any help with taking screenshots, making webpages or graphics, just give me a holler.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAPETIME!
(thanks Chizzy!)

What we need here is a team, in fact maybe two, 1 team for web design, and one team for information.  Post if your interested in either.  Trust me this will work.

I\'m glad to see that so many people are willing to help me out!  :D

Anyway....

Luke:  An introduction page would be pretty cool.  I\'ll PM you once things start to come together, and we can talk it over.


Samwise:  Thanks for the link!  That web host looks like it\'s pretty cool.  Of course, Solid Snake 88 is heading the page design, so I\'ll have to ask him if he\'d care to switch.   And I\'ll contact you later about the forum.  I\'ve never actually set one up, so you\'d probably be a great help.

"The One" Billy Gunn:  Yeah, a team would be nice, especially one for the webpage.  

Weltall:  You never fail to amaze me with those graphics.  If you want to lead the graphics "department,"  then feel free, because you\'re more talented than I am with that kind of stuff.  Just tell me and I\'ll add you to the staff.

I can also grab screenshots from your game, I learned how that works.

I can host your site.  50 megs of bannerless free space with a pretty decent server.  The only problem is that the url will be a bit long, but the space and the BW is what\'s important.  I can pull 120k from my own site.  PM me if you\'re interested.

Well 50 megs sound nice but for the moment we\'re being hosted by F2S, which has no ads anyway. Since F2S doesn\'t allow the storage of .exes, .zips. or .mp3s we\'re going to put the actual game on our Tripod server.

But if 182Ways wants to switch to your site, I\'ve got no problem with that.

BTW Our current site is located at http://www.legacyemotion.f2s.com
