Title: We are revamping the entire GMG!
Post by: Gan on December 11, 2011, 08:58:21 PM: We already updated the forums(which still need updated more), we're gonna add more features to the chat box, we're thinking of making an online HTML5 GameMaker integrated directly into the GMG, so why not just revamp the entire GMG as well?

Here's the layout idea, brought to you by Silverwind from the past...

This development is going to start on Dec 17th.
If any of you have objections to any of this, please scream at me.

And what's Mystic Legend?

Post by: Gan on December 12, 2011, 11:23:43 AM: A game EQ made a very long time ago. Should be in the downloads section.

Post by: Zoo on December 12, 2011, 03:30:34 PM: Is this in Latin or Elvish or something? What's the deal? I used google translate, and entered 3 words from it and got "Click images to"
can someone explain this?
Also, on the topic of HTML5, we should make some playable in browser demos of some of the GMG's finest games, to show them off (and make P.C. users envy our macs)
Title: Re: We are revamping the entire GMG!
Post by: Gan on December 12, 2011, 04:15:13 PM: Laura Ipsum is latin. Filler text from the rosetta stone I believe(could be wrong).

That's certainly an excellent idea. I could probably make an HTML5 mini version of QoM using the HTML5 GameMaker. Would not only make pc users jealous but also be a great advertisement for the simplicity and power of the HTML5 GameMaker.

P.S. Is anyone skilled at putting a website together? I'm gonna start making the GMG according to the mockups posted above but I may need some help. I can do PHP and stuff to dynamically load content but I'm iffy on how to position content using HTML.
Should I use tables to position content or divs with relative/absolute positioning?
Title: Re: We are revamping the entire GMG!
Post by: Connors on December 12, 2011, 04:20:16 PM: That's the Lorem Ipsum text! It's just a standard filler that you can use in place of writing so you're not distracted reading it, and you use it to see how a page layout will look. It's based off some random Latin text but it's all gibberish.

And I think we'll decide what we want to make after the HTML5 project is finished.
Title: Re: We are revamping the entire GMG!
Post by: Connors on December 12, 2011, 04:22:45 PM: I forgot to hit post and someone beat me to it! XD Oh well.

@Gan: That's a big project, revamping the whole site. Maybe you should just start with the forums.
Title: Re: We are revamping the entire GMG!
Post by: GMG Kurt on December 12, 2011, 04:49:13 PM: On the subject of changing our status quo, I've had the idea for expanding off my original GameHub idea. All GM, and SC games in one place. I can make GameHub in C (or C++) so it runs on all machines, and the user can directly download a game from there.

Idyllically it'll open up a window that would use the HTML content from the download page shown above. So it'd look the same as downloading from the website. You could also put an already downloaded game into it easily.

It'd be like our very own Steam just for our community, but better, not just a store, but one interface they'd all be under like the Atari Stella (except not an emulator)

Thoughts 8-)
Title: Re: We are revamping the entire GMG!
Post by: Gan on December 12, 2011, 04:50:51 PM: Yeah, it's a big project but I'll take it a page at a time.

I can give it a shot. Positioned/floated divs would be the way to go; it's how I designed my site. Most of the graphical elements of that mockup can actually be done with pure CSS, which would make my job even simpler since graphics aren't my strong suit.
Title: Re: We are revamping the entire GMG!
Post by: Gan on December 12, 2011, 05:44:27 PM: Excellent, I'll message you around the 17th when I start.

Edit: That's an interesting idea Kurt. I've had similar thoughts about such an application. The GMG will have a sort of GameHub section built in for HTML5 games(ya know, browse HTML5 games GMGers have mades and click on them to play them in the browser), but a GameHub for desktop games and applications could be quite useful.
I'd say continue to build on that idea. In the coming weeks watch how the GMG transforms and let your idea transform with it. Something really cool can be made.
Title: Re: We are revamping the entire GMG!
Post by: Connors on December 12, 2011, 08:44:13 PM: GameHub does sound cool, but why not make an improved game section that's on the site, that works the same way? Then people don't need to download it. It could still have some cool features and allow uploads...
Unless of course it seems more practical to make it a downloadable program.
Title: Re: We are revamping the entire GMG!
Post by: Gan on December 12, 2011, 09:01:52 PM: At the moment an improved Game Section is what we're heading for with HTML5 games playable in the browser and desktop games downloadable.

I don't know how the HTML5 GM will work, but if we can't convert the older games into HTML5 version, or if you want to play offline then it does make more sense to have GameHub as a download.

I loved the old way the GMG looked so much I took pictures of the front page in its last dya of glory :'(

Farewell GMG as we know! to uncharted water we doth sojourn. Return we mustn't and cannot for the road of progress transcends the horizon.

Post by: GMG Tim on December 16, 2011, 11:44:46 PM: Glad to see another evolution of the Game Maker's Garage. Each iteration has been an improvement over the last, and it's exciting to see what you have in store for the future. It'd be really cool to have an "alumni" page as many of our previous users have gone on to start successful software companies, work at major tech firms, and create creative jewels (like Charlie the Unicorn).

I'll continue to provide hosting for the GMG as long as necessary, even though I don't frequent the boards anymore.
Title: Re: We are revamping the entire GMG!
Post by: Charlo on December 17, 2011, 08:02:48 AM: Hope you don't mind Gan, I already got a head start on HTML-ifying Silver's design: http://charlo.gamemakersgarage.com/gmgtest/

As of now I have avoided using any images, but I will have to bite the bullet soon for the banner and some other stuff.

(Note: the link above looks best in Firefox and Chrome. Haven't tried Safari. Internet Explorer is passable but is missing some non-critical features)

Title: Re: We are revamping the entire GMG!
Post by: Gan on December 25, 2011, 02:50:51 AM: The entire GMG has been revamped.
That is all, good day.
Title: Re: We are revamping the entire GMG!
Post by: Silverwind on December 25, 2011, 12:28:03 PM: Wow, well awesome new design guys! ;D Loving the use of HTML 5 gradients and the like, very snazzy. Congratulations on the terrific job, fantastic result and spiffing haircut!

Oh, and a merry Christmas to all!
Title: Re: We are revamping the entire GMG!
Post by: Circuit on December 25, 2011, 03:56:45 PM: This new design is fantastic! I keep noticing new things, things that just make me stop and say, "WOW". This isn't a bunch of kids throwing random bits together. This is professional-quality work! Excellent, excellent job guys! And Merry Christmas!
Title: Re: We are revamping the entire GMG!
Post by: Gan on December 26, 2011, 11:10:25 PM: What? Professional-quality work? That's a mighty fine compliment for work done by a couple of kids!
Title: Re: We are revamping the entire GMG!
Post by: Silverwind on December 27, 2011, 01:55:18 AM: Incidentally Gan, I notice I'm the only one credited in the footer bar, but I played a relatively small part in the work. How about "Web Design by The GMG"?
Title: Re: We are revamping the entire GMG!
Post by: Gan on December 27, 2011, 02:42:45 AM: Small part? You designed the whole thing! :D

If it'll make ya happy I'll change it.

I'm 21 dude, no longer a kid! ;D

And Silver, I doubt I would have been able to come up with a design as good as the one you created. It's both attractive and simple enough to implement easily in HTML.
Title: Re: We are revamping the entire GMG!
Post by: Gan on December 27, 2011, 12:14:16 PM: I second that! In fact, I'll have thirds as well!

I'm barely 18, still sorta classified as a kid. ;D
