Oh, that's a shame

Might be some of your wires are "flooded"?

One thing that would be nice is, in the showroom, being able to search for games using the author...

I guess this is a better thread to post it...

I have been twinkling with a possible new design too and a new logo, here is a sketch so far.
It's slightly based on the flash punk site and a few others I enjoy.

I can't stand programming sites with too much images and all dirty up (aye darkbasik),
I arrived here because of the clean design and straight glbasic information + manual + download...
...gave it a try on the boardgame competition and it all worked for me.

So I was looking into it, a clean design+showcase+info.
it's still just a layout...

Interesting idea. I think there's a bit too many buttons on the top, no?
Also the "commercials" part (left frame) is dropped. I sort of thought that they are required...

I tried to condense the left frame info into the top buttons, I thought it would be better to have the top part of the page to display all necessary info links, and from there, you scrool down to more specific info into the one you chose.

News page should be the home.
Of course everyhing should be more grafical when possible, less big letters.
I got this layout out of my own experience into and searching languages, it may not be a fit for everyone.

One thing is that this is a general revamp, maybe it´s not needed at all but just a new skinning+slight layout changes.
What do you think? Should I try something on the current layout?

Did anyone notice the games on the showcase in the sketch? can you name them?
like i said, my drawings get surreal sometimes...

I see that one is B'lox

All looks good!

The first image is Hit The Deck, then B'lox! Is the last one Roll 'n' Fall?

great! that´s it   

I´m currently off to Santos spend carnaval days here, so only with my laptop.
I will give a better finilized try on a page as soon as I get back home and turn on my ´just arrived´ new machine!
Will try something with the current layout then instead of the sketched one up there.

[Kitty Hello]

Awesomeness!

[XanthorXIII]

May I also suggest if the website is going to be revamped, maybe a new logo for GLBasic? The current one reminds of the standard MFC Default Icon from days past.

[Kitty Hello]

Oh, I thought the cubes were ageless. But then the was supposed to be, too...

Any better ideas? I really liked the cubes.

[MrTAToad]

Making the icon higher resolution will solve it...

[XanthorXIII]

Kitty - You win this round good sir
How about do a G with Cubes make it 3Dish.
Would that work?

[Ian Price]

I like GLB's cubes logo - it kind of suggests that you can make anything you want, large or small out of smaller parts and in any way that you choose.

[XanthorXIII]

How about adding something to the cubes then? Make them Glass like or even a design pattern on them?
