Webpage stories 3
The best thing in creating your own webpage to your personally designed board game is that you are familiar with both areas. This is useful when you need to have serious discussions about how you would like to show your game to everyone and you have some ideas how to present it on the website.
So the beginning of the webpage story is known: Balázs always found someone, who could help him out in creating, speeding up or fixing the site. And now the biggest challenge came with a person, who actually is a big gamer himself and a frequent KickStarter user: if we would like our people to know what we are planning to give them, we should reconsider the webpage, the content, the backbone of presented information.
When I got to know that this guy wrote to Balázs, first I was sad, ‘What again?!’ Then he called Balázs exactly at that time, when we wanted to go to run and bike outside, so I was walking circles in the house waiting. Then I realized that this happened in the perfect moment, when we still were finishing the site. It is luck. If Balázs can finish it in short time, an almost perfect webpage can represent the hard work of 5+ years of this game.
The gamer guy brought really useful stuff. He basically read the whole site, from beginning to end, including the how it’s made part, so he was extremely thorough. He said tons of things to consider, ideas on how he and “his kind” would stay and subscribe. He introduced us to the 20-second-rule.
Long story short, after some hours of discussions, the latest part of work could be started, when Balázs made the content for the game specific details and designed them to best fit in the atmosphere. I was hoping every day that the site did not collapse, and fortunately it never happened.
Then we tested it on every possible platform, we even subscribed to check whether everything is alright.
Aaand finally the day had come. Everything was set up. Ready for everyone to follow us, leave us feedbacks and be part of the last some months of the journey until the game will finally be released. I am just so excited! And you can bet, Balázs is even more.
