my replica of a site

Icey · Sat 11/09/2010 07:01:00

I was really board thinking about my game so I made a joke yet good replica of a square enix site for my game :] but it's just a fake site you can see it in the copyright section of the page.Visit here and let me know what you think: http://www.wix.com/pubmembers/Pmq2-online- then compare with this http://na.square-enix.com/the3rdbirthday/

I was gonna post something along the lines of "why?" but then I thought to myself "why what?" because I don't really understand what it is you've done.

Icey · Sat 11/09/2010 16:20:35

I just made a new website for my game but I add the top bar and header of a square enix site and it works just like a real one, but I am going to take it off later on.

You seem to have a fondness for unnecessary, barely legible, fluff.

What's all those labels, abbreviations and symbols for? Why not create a straigthforward webpage that presents your project and describes the game in a way people can understand?

All this energy you put on fancy logos, copyright crap, ratings and cryptic phrases like "mog.net GUI: Enabled" could be spent on actually making that game.

Anian · Sat 11/09/2010 17:11:51

Seriously? You tried to put that banner/menu but the rest of the page is hardly "designed."
You should learn from SE in that way that you either draw a cool image that looks more like a concept art piece than in game OR find someobdy who likes to draw in SE style and do that for you. I don't think you even have to pay, there's lot s of people on deviant art or on FinalFantasy forums and such, that'll probably do it just for the hell of doing similar art style.

What Andail said, I think you'll have a better shot at doing your own thing but being influenced by Final Fantasy than to actually try to copy everything and shove their name every chance you get.
You like FF cause of it's creativity and yet you do everything not be creative yourself. Being influenced by someone in making something new that's interesting and cool is far more flattering than by copying but changing the names.

Icey · Sat 11/09/2010 17:32:04

know wait, i am not copying FF it is just a funny site i really made to show to my friends but I thought it should also be here.like i said before that this is a joke site(a late April fools joke) that I wanted to do before but it is fake i only made this site to take quick a brake from my game.

Saywut? So you don't want critique?

And icey, you got me so bad!
Hahaha, I can't believe I fell for it!
You must be a terror on April the 1st!

Icey · Sun 12/09/2010 00:25:43

Hahaha,hopefully I can do some thing better next april.

But no,I really didn't want critic comments on this cause I am vgoing to change it latter on but if you have any thought on how I can make it look more like a square site then I am all ears :]

iceygames really is an amazing creature. You can learn all there is to know about his ways in a month, and yet after a hundred years he can still surprise you.

Even if you don't want feedback, still get rid of the Square Enix logos, the ESRB ratings, and the links to Square Enix. None of the small print is necessary because nothing there is legitimate, so get rid of all that to play it safe.

Chicky · Sun 12/09/2010 22:25:29

Icey you are amazing, you make me laugh so hard. Please don't ever leave these forums.

I like the slightly higher res character portraits you have on your site. I can't wait until you grow up a little and can apply your efforts a little more consistently.

Soon I will because I know I am going to be taking that stuff off so I didn't apply it to the other pages of the site.But the ESRB,mog.net & icey games logo stay because the game is going to be rated by esrb all ready asked them and they said yes.

Calin Leafshade · Mon 13/09/2010 04:06:04

Hooray, can you pay the $2500 to have my game rated too?

I assume you have passed all the criteria to be considered a *publisher* by the ESRB?

You owe me a new monitor now. I just shot milk out of my nose all over my screen after reading this.

Come on, do you really expect anyone to believe that?

This.

Khris · Mon 13/09/2010 09:46:50

Actually it's $800. Still, either you're a pathetic liar or really dumb for wasting that kind of money, sorry.

Icey · Mon 13/09/2010 11:39:52

Then I am really dumb,but I did ask over facebook.

rbaleksandar · Mon 13/09/2010 14:46:35

Readying such things I realize for the n-th time why the minimum age for the forums is 16. *sigh* As for the site itself - tasteless pile of d*ng. Many people know HTML, PHP, JavaScript, CSS etc. and yet there are few who can use this knowledge and create really great websites. My advice to you is to sit down on your butt and read/practice before showing your work to someone asking for his/her opinion. You can't show a person a brick and say "What do you think about my house?". $:-\$ Build the house and after that show it to whoever you want to.

Yeah, the joke persona is wearing thin now.

Icey · Mon 13/09/2010 18:44:02

Foreget it because I just don't know what else to say but just wait until the game is done.And I do node no other code why would would I use my time to bluid a site when I can webs and wix,and not only is free but I can also code in them.

Dataflashsabot · Mon 13/09/2010 20:05:52

Icey Games, please, please, PLEASE: FORGET ABOUT FINAL FANTASY AND SQUARE ENIX AND ALL OF THAT STUFF. Think up an original game idea, small enough that it's realistic to complete it, draw artwork for it, program it, use a spellchecker on it, release it, utilise the feedback you get on it. Much more rewarding, and nobody will moan about copyright.

YAY Data's optimism!
