Title: Ygg site (new)
Post by: Christoffer Lernö on October 10, 2002, 08:51:21 AM
Unlike my previous links, this is more of a real site for Yggdrasil. Just follow this link to the main page: http://www.8ung.at/ygg/.
Let me know what you think.

Just wanted to add something. If you have any complaints with the site - looks weird in your browser, takes too long to load, can't read things because the text is to small, too little info and so on - please let me know.

The only complaints I'd have would be with the layout. First everything is on one huge page. Would it be possible to break it up by chapter or something? Also, your presentation is mostly lists upon lists. There is little in the way of block text. Which means that everything is strung out miles long. I like my white space, but there's such a thing as too much of a good thing. There has to be a way to compact things a bit to make reading a bit easier.

How far along do you feel you are?

Oh, you're talking about the HTMLized doc. It's frigging ugly I know, very sorry about that. If there is any comfort I post most stuff of relevance here anyway. I could always convert everything to ascii. Some stuff would look unreadable but most of it would be easier to read. That document is more for reference to the hardcore persons with incredible stamina rather than for practical use. Once I have something solid I'll PDF it though.

As for how far. Not far enough in the writing. Lots and lots of stuff to do and it's not playable because the character creation isn't working. That said I'm fairly sure I'll solve that problem and the skill thing pretty soon and when that's done well then it's soon playable :)

The page looks quite nice.

I had an odd problem that I couldn't scroll about the page in a small browser window. I had to enlarge the window to see the whole page. I jhave no idea what caused this, but just thought you should know.
