Ok, NOW I think I'm satisfied with the layout... cause yep, I messed with the grids again, and had to divide a bunch of rows to have more control over the divs' position. The best part is that now the space is better distributed, and everything looks and feels more compact :P I also added an extra button today!
And btw- I'm still trying to figure out how to preload the background images :'T I've already tried to use the body::after type of code, but it didn't work. Do you guys have any ideas?
Oh, and btw- I FINALLY figured out why my images weren't preloading... they're background images, not regular images :'] I'll have to figure out a different code, I guess-
I added some brand-new graphics today, two new ads! I hope to add some more textures/assets later on to replace the text on the other divs, decorate and get the home page all set!
And in case you're wondering, I'm asking that because I've been finishing some of my ads today, and had a great time xP
ur skyboots graphic is my favorite ever rn, it’s just so shiny and sparkly and brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
@fabulouskilljoys Oh, thank you so much lol! I'm super happy you enjoyed that one, certainly the wackiest so far! It was super fun to animate it, though I might add some extra shakiness to it in certain points later, for some extra pizazz ;]
@tetrisk-lair Ohh yeah, pixel art is such a vibe... I used to to lots of it before, and it's super cool (even a bit nostalgic) to me to bring back some of that crisp pixelated look through my assets! ^^
ohh,, i dont know actually, don't think I've done a lot of the more creative stuff yet, but those character icons have been really fun to make
@theran Oh, I still wanna get to the character icons part- specially since there's a bunch of pagedolls n' similar things I hope to make to decorate some divs! So far, I've halfway through an animated pagedoll, and it's been fun to work on it so far! ^^
I didn't change anything big today, only switched the preload system to a Js one instead of CSS. The previous one wasn't working for some reason, so let's hope this one does! :P
I'll begin setting up the CSS for the other sections soon, I've been taking a small break to focus on other stuff, such as 3D modeling ^^
Aaa, thank you SO MUCH!! I'm honored you think so about my works, it took me a very long time to finally be happy with my style and general aesthetics, it means a whole lot! :'D It was also very challenging to figure out a layout from scratch, couldn't be more satisfied with how it's looking so far! ^^ Lastly, I definitely agree! Having the freedom to code and shape things the way you want is some true mighty power.
Thank you so much! Oh you can bet I have a lot of ideas for it. I initially intended to make a site to host my gallery, share thoughts, etc, but now it evolved into something different in my head haha. I've been sketching different sections and interfaces, and once I learn how to use HTML's canvas, it gonna open up so many possibilities. I hope I can deliver xD
Oh, you're very welcome! I'm sure it's gonna be fantastic when you've got all the cool stuff ready to shine! It's very inspiring for me as well, since I do wanna add interactive stuff in my website in the future, from games to even puzzles! :]
Ok, I might've figured out a way to preload the images... though I'm not sure if it worked. Can you guys give me some feedback if anything changed speed-wise? :7
Edit: things are loading a bit faster now! Not immediately, but it's better than before. I'll see how many other assets I'll manage to finish for this page today ;]
It’s definitely loading cleaner now! For me before, the boxes and images would kinda jump around but now it’s not
@fabulouskilljoys Oh, I'm glad to hear that! I also realized the js code I was using was broken! I found another one to replace it :P
