    Looks cool. The homepage image with the mic looks stretched. The videos had a hard time playing for me. I like the look of it though. Nice color scheme and cool audio. Good job

    Very Polished

    Spent the last few weeks learning work press and putting it together.

    @Lost_Oasis_Games I looked at it in Edge and the homepage recording studio still looked stretched to me. But the videos played faster. Very nice job.

    Looks nice, and cool it's also responsive, but as a graphic/web designer, I'd probably suggest using a little more colours/blue and minimising the blacks rectangles/block sizes as much as you can. Otherwise the UX is cool and you made a great choice using Wordpress.

    yeah i figured that's what everyone is using now, I might as well join in. Do you think I should make those blocks blue?

    Just did a quick try on the design. I can do more but this is something that might enhance user interface. Like using a little blue behind the logo to make it more prominent or adding thin blue strips. I actually used Helvetica here for the logo but I don't know which font you used.

    EDIT: Oops I misspelled Studios

  • GameAlchemistGameAlchemist Member Posts: 106

    I also removed that big rectangle for a cleaner look

  • The_Gamesalad_GuruThe_Gamesalad_Guru Member Posts: 9,922

    I like that cool. I'll edit that

    @Lost_Oasis_Games are you the one who did the sample platformer game ?

  • The_Gamesalad_GuruThe_Gamesalad_Guru Member Posts: 9,922
    edited October 2015

    @Icebox1910 Yes. I coded that a while back for coconut Island apps. I built the basic game engine for him. So what you see is the base coding I did there. He took it from there and fleshed it out.

    Everything on my site was produced by me as represented. If it's a game I coded it's in the game app section. if it's a trailer I produced it. If it's audio I created the tracks. All my work as represented.

  • IceboxIcebox Member Posts: 1,485

    @Lost_Oasis_Games I love the trailer section. The problem with this platformer sample is that the controls are a bit weird , so it wouldn't make a good first impression when someone plays it, they might think that its a full game you worked on, i know its just a sample but people might get the wrong impression because you have it on the game/app section , id suggest you put a nice polished game instead, even if its just a sample . but great website overall , wish you the best !

    I can adjust the controls. How do you think they should be different?

  • IceboxIcebox Member Posts: 1,485

    @Lost_Oasis_Games you cant move left or right on air, thats the problem with controls , you can have little music , , you can have footsteps sound , when you press S it doesnt shoot fire you need to keep S down to shoot multiple shots, you cant shoot when your not on ground. As I said before I know that this is just a sample im sure this is not something your working on, but viewers of the site need to get the best out of your games specialy when they are on the game/app section. They might think this is your limit.

  • The_Gamesalad_GuruThe_Gamesalad_Guru Member Posts: 9,922

    I'd have to build something as all my other games are published.

    Good job Dave! Very professional and neat. I have one suggestion for you. You should secure your site. Word Press is the best. I use it all the time but out of the box it is not very secure. I am not telling you what to do but I suggest you take steps to secure your site.

    The URL below tells you how to do that ...

    Sorry for the misunderstanding, but is Frying-Bacon-Studio part of Lost_Oasis_Games? Is one a sub-studio of the other? And is the Golden Books going to part of these studios or are going to be standing on their own studio when get digitalised? I only ask because I met a few people who need client work form time to time (Big brands, not developers) and I want to re-direct them to the correct site. My take is that FBS is client work, while LOG is games. I haven't found anyone else who does non-game client work.

    Each is it's own entity since there are partnerships involved. Fryingbaconstudios is my company for client work and projects I do on my own without my other partners. Lost oasis games is the partnership between myself and RP. I only make games for distribution with him. The " Kate Glesson's Little Beasties" is half owned by me, the other half is owned by the creator a dear friend of mine that is under the company The Gleeson Group LLC.
