Popular Post Aksel Posted August 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) DISCLAIMER: All images you see here in this thread are concepts - which means that these are ideas and are currently not slated to be put to use. --------------------------------------------------------Purpose: To develop concepts, brainstorm ideas, and create mock-ups to aid in the modernization of the Politics & War sites and pages. We have the intention to work towards a great looking site that keeps the site simplified, modern, and aid in player retention. Status: Currently, the PW Design Team is charged with developing concepts for the Politics & War landing page - Home - for current and new players. The idea is to give new players an idea of what Politics & War is all about, provide ease of access, and house social media and discord. We also would like to include current game stats that you currently find on that page, but in a more organized unique way.Challenges: The challenges that we currently have stem from the community and the site itself. From the community, the design/aesthetic changes that we wish to implement tend to turn into more mechanic and technical requests. Additionally, community members don't understand that ideas/concepts posted will not be a perfect and absolute representation to what would be put in the game. (see disclaimer above.) From the site; we need to make small changes to start due to the site build. The changes we are making will stack to an endpoint of a great game - please understand you won't wake up one day and see a completely changed site. With all that being said, I will share with you some concepts for registration/login as well as some ideas for the Politics & War discord server icon and server banner. Registration/Login: Concept: Instead of having new users and users logging in go to a separate page to login or setup their nation, they are met with a popup form. We've compiled all information a new user would see in one simple form. Your login would look similar to this popup only including your username/password fields and any pertinent information. You can also see that the site page itself changed to decrease the white factor and opacity. Landing Page Concept: This is our first concept for the landing page. It utilizes what users already see on the landing page; registration, login, android app, nation stats, and discord. We have formatted the page to read better, better organization, and included all social media profiles. Again, decreased opacity to create a cleaner and darker look. Landing Page 2 (Rough Concept) Concept: Create a landing page that houses information about the game while the user scrolls down they will get a better idea of what this game has to offer. We start out with a Politics & War trailer/video and move on to information sections. Note: these information boxes are extremely primitive - these would be built a lot better if this concept was given the greenlight. In addition, we wanted to provide a site-wide menu that stood out from the background. Again, please take note of the disclaimer at the top of this post. Clean Version of Concept Above: Concept: Working within current site environment - maybe previous concepts were pushing too far. This concept would utilize boxes that we all know in the war environment. Would work to be responsive to your screens and provide some valuable information for new users coming to the site. The footer can hold more than just social icons, discord can be there as well as further information about the site that is in the current footer. Also, changed Laurel to original PW laurel at Alex's request for the logo. PW Server Banner Concept: We wanted to create a modern-looking, clean server banner for the discord server. Nothing too special about this concept, just shows a world map connected with a flat logo created for the discord. 4 Discord Server Icons Concepts: 1. Simplistic modern design. Text in server icons can be a bit off - this just holds the laurel with the known pw colors. 2. Remake of the current PW server icon. Holds a new PW design with laurel in background. 3. Remake of the current PW server icon. Holds a new PW design with laurel in background on a darker foundation. 4. Redesign of icon - white PW in the center with inverted red to blue laurel. Note: Alex prefers we use the current laurel in the game, so if any of these icons are going to be used the new laurel will be used going forward. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you interested in joining the PW Design Team? As team leader, I could use a few more designers to assist with concepts. Even if you do not have the applications to design or are not much of a designer yourself, conveying the idea from your brain to me can get the job done. Find me on the PW Server @Mad Max and shoot me a dm. I'll ask you a few questions to see if you are fit for the team. Are you not interested in joining the PW Design Team, but want to share some ideas? You don't need to be on the team to give us ideas to work on. Feel free to comment below with ideas you might have or slide into my DMs. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Note for Comments: If you are commenting on this thread you have an idea for the design team. You are not commenting on this thread if you have suggestions, complaints, ideas for the technical side of the game, in-game mechanics, or anything not associated with the strict design and aesthetic elements of the game. Any comments holding suggestions for mechanics, technical, or anything not related to the design OR relating to the look, feel, or accuracy of any concept in this thread will be looked over. Please see disclaimer at the top of the post. Thank you for your time - we look forward to your feedback as well as new ideas from the community that we can work on to make this game looking better - because when you look good you feel good!

Aksel Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Do you have ideas that could make the game look better? Talk to me about it. The page design above has been accepted by Alex! I'm not sure when that design would go into play, but keep an eye out for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aksel Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 Community, We are currently brainstorming changes to the Military Screen located here: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/military/ I'd like to get some ideas from y'all before we get set in our ways - how would you like to see that page setup? Think about device responsiveness, ease of access, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliminate the need for a personal war sheet or a ton of tabs open to check all these things. Edit: Apologies, I just realized this wasn't the war screen but the page leading to each of the individual military purchase pages but I'll leave the above anyways because it's still a good suggestion that people have wanted for a couple years now. For the military page, it would be nice if maybe instead of seven individual pages and the guide to each of them, we just had one page with all military purchase options on it.
