All Quiet On The Co-Opp Front. Page.

July 1, 2011 in Uncategorized

To say ‘not much has been happening’ would be a lie.

The revival of Co-Opp has not been as exciting and speedy as I had hoped, but hey – when was the last time YOU reanimated the dead? These things take time.
Battlefield 3 looks to be just what the doctor ordered, but lets just wait and see!

The Problem with Progress

July 1, 2011 in Uncategorized

We all love the top of the line graphics and excellent voice work that you find in games today, unfortunately that progress has had it’s own unique effect on game design and is the exact reason you don’t see games with the amounts dialogue and background as games like Baldur’s Gate or Planescape Torment. The reason behind this is pretty simple; time and money are at a premium in any business and implementing a large amount of dialogue costs both. Animations are more complex and often require the use of expensive mo-cap systems, there is an out cry if every single line of dialogue is not voiced (See Dragon Age: Origins which attracted criticism for not voicing the PC’s lines).

Facebook Sharing

February 21, 2011 in Site Update

Hey guys, just a quick update!

Facebook Links

Facebook Links

I’ve added Facebook “Like” buttons to all blog posts and forum topics. You can now share Co-Opp links on Facebook and they’ll look all pretty with a custom icon and proper meta tags. Admins of the Co-Opp group will be able to keep an eye on the Facebook analytics by going to Facebook Insights and adding Co-Opp.net to your list :)

Mobile Site

February 3, 2011 in News, Site Update

Co-Opp 2011 Mobile Homepage

Accessing Co-Opp on your mobile smart phone will now show a super mobile-friendly version of the site.

It’s made utilising CSS3 Media Queries so that any user with a window size of less than 800 pixels wide will be presented with this version of the site.

Most desktop browsers support on-the-fly media queries, so you can resize your browser to see the mobile version, right now! Woah!

I’m also keen on implementing another media query for widescreens, let’s say 1440+ wide, that will show a fullscreen version of the blog, much like how the forum is.

The forum also resizes to the mobile dimensions when scaled down, however I ran out of time yesterday so it’s a little messy. In the coming days I’ll clean it up a bit.

Note: I believe current Blackberry and Nokia default browsers do not support media queries. Future versions of these phones should do so.

Internets Forum Update

January 21, 2011 in Site Update

The forum structure has been the same since it was conceived in 1982, and it’s getting a bit intense.

I’m writing down some flowcharts now, but I’m interested in what you guys think!
How would YOU structure the forums?

Just Kill clan ohnd Already!

January 17, 2011 in clan ohnd

What causes a clan to die? What happens when it does?
I watched on with morbid curiosity as the off-handed announcement was made to ‘officially’ put down mcsA, the group of friends that clan ohnd had grown up with. Read the rest of this entry →

January 15, 2011 in Review

So I recently got my first iPhone (iPhone 4) and like most other people who have found themselves in this situation I am currently in a state of near constant distraction. The novelty of this is quickly wearing thin on my significant others.
