KyleMassacre Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 it looks good but I'm just not a huge fan of 3 column layouts for a game because it makes the content area rather small and makes me feel cramped. But If you were to cut that left column down by a 1/4 of the width I would feel a bit better. Plus you don't need all those links in there, maybe just pick like 2-3 of each category and dump the rest some where else? All in all I like it I just need MORE content area :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNG Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 The content color and such is very good, but like Kyle said it could use more content and the side menu and chat is just throwing me off. But your using the tough society script or something similar to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayo Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 also i would look at the typography it can change the look/feel of aa theme completely with the correct font Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slasher Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 i see what your saying i was actually thinking of just left side and content but went with the 3 sections to see its all a prototype atm anyhow so i can change anything and everything lol but so far it seems you guys quite like the idea of what im trying to come up with, also no this is 100% what iv done iv played many games over years and iv found a darkish style theme does bring a few more people to the site as its not in your face as much as lets say a white and blue theme that is hard on peoples eyes. but thanks for all the replys guys its good to no im kind of on the right track - - - Updated - - - and also dayo i will be working on the font end of the base at a later date im just trying the layout and improving and revamping where i see it needs it but thanks for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all I like it I just need MORE content area :p thanks kyle i get what your saying about the menu but iv had it with only a few links and it looks empty lol iv made it how it looks so its alittle more full on theres no scrolling as its all there what you see in the menu is it theres no more or no less but thanks anyway :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayo Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 also i would change the background to more of a grunge theme, a great website i use is http://subtlepatterns.com/page/2/?s=dark&submit=Search and also dayo i will be working on the font end of the base at a later date im just trying the layout and improving and revamping where i see it needs it but thanks for the input Dont under estimate how a font can impact the look of your game ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slasher Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Small update to the layout and the font on headers thanks to dayo :) any better (This version was designed using a dragable feature so i could see where it would look best) cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djkanna Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I prefer the second version, I very rarely see games that can pull off 3 column layouts, though that is just my opinion on something I'm not very good at...

KyleMassacre Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Looks great. Its just the table header font is a bit too dark for me but just a matter of personal preference but I know you are going for the dark look but still looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also are you using @font-face or using images for the headers. p.s. i just went to http://canadian-mafia.com/ and on my screen the background was off center and made the design look weird. #hea you would be better off changing your background to "background: #000 url(body.png) repeat-y center;" and changing your #header/#header::after css property "left"" to "left: calc(50% - 300px);" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
