Im gonna be honest. your site really needs some work. It took me a while to figure out i had to drag the disks into that little area, so make it more obvious. I didnt reallly like the look of the citty either. Keep pushing yourself. Im sure you will get something better going. On the bright side..... its different than most of the things ive seen today

Hey Red...
I won't really comment on the design, it's just not my taste, and it's a little too busy. Why not try starting with a more minimalistic look, then add in some relevant graphics? I like the little car driving, but the chunky graphics don't look very pro - to be honest.

Anyway, just to let you know, I was able to "break" your site. I dragged the info disk over, then dragged it over again. From there, anywhere I click takes me to the information section.

Be careful to explain how your navigation works if you're going to use a more obscure one. Not all users are as clever as the FK'ers, and they'll get to your page and not know what to do. Flash designers know that you can drag things over a space, and have it perform a certain function, but I'm not sure that the general population does.

General rule of thumb...just assume that everyone is stupider than you.

Lol...

sorry people.. i have an update of the following site.. i will post it

phlegm_thrower · 05-19-2002, 11:31 PM

i personally like the design... reminds me of old skool games like police quest 1 hehehe all blocky... let's face it u can't please everyone so if u like that design then stick with it but make it easier for people to navigate...

about the disks... why did u make the writings beside it buttons? i mean.. they don't have any function whatsoever... that can confuse a lot of people when the mouse ponter turned to hand pointer... makes them think they supposed to click on it

RedAbode · 05-19-2002, 11:39 PM

thanks it's kinda hard to think of a new idea when your a gr.7 student from m.t .. but hey i'm glad i can please some of the people here in fk

kallok · 05-20-2002, 12:05 AM

Well thefont could be changed.it gets annoying.the whole pixel thing can b cofusing to some peopl,expecially that you gotta drag the disk in the small left corner.Interesting though!

Stellios · 05-20-2002, 12:26 AM

the first page is too big u dont need scrollbars for it.
the site is cool but you have to redo he whole graphics scheme; if you were trying to make it pixelated then use smaller pixels and work on the look and feel.
keep it up

RedAbode · 05-20-2002, 12:28 AM

dam, maybe for my new beta version

RedAbode · 05-20-2002, 07:54 PM

i still would like some more reply's please , also how could i fix it where one of my diss i have to drag twice just to get it to work and it is not a problem with the frames in the actionscript... hmm could someone help me out and reveiw it?

RedAbode · 05-21-2002, 09:18 PM

how come people won't reveiw it???

MarctheMan · 05-22-2002, 12:51 AM

Yo red dawg.. I think you should space out the time between the seagull sound, that way it doesnt become annoying so quickly... i was at your site for like 5 mins and it got 'ahhhh, im going insane' if you know what i mean..

Maybe you should put a sound off button on there.

You might should decrease the volume of the ignition sound also because it comes through pretty loud on 5.1 surround.

you da man.

RedAbode · 05-24-2002, 06:51 PM
