Releasing GDU prematurely?

Posted at: Sun, 26 Feb 2012 01:24:00 +0000

Hi all,

I am thinking about releasing GDU prematurely. That means releasing it when a large number of the sections are yet to be coded.

To be honest, I have lost a lot of motivation and faith in RPG Maker. Perhaps due to a combination of the whithering activity of the more active RMXPU members, or the anti-competitive actions of enterbrain that is trying...

Hi all,

Following my last blog entry, I fixed up the integration issues minus a javascript error. Aside from that, its functioning pretty well, using the exact same database and software as this forum.

I have started to skin the forums, because I want to do the necessities first in case I need to rush it going live. It's a big challenge though,...

Project GDU - What do you want in profiles?

Posted at: Thu, 14 Jul 2011 10:19:00 +0000

Hi all,

I have decided the first major coding section of the site that I will do is profiles, since preliminary member-integration is up and running.

[GDU]One step forward, two steps backwards

Posted at: Tue, 20 Dec 2011 14:11:00 +0000

Today, good news, I was finally able to get data from an old(ish) database backup working on the GDU database. This was mainly necessary to create components that will utilize the forums database, and also to write up the CSS and design the forums layout. I want to do something unique for the topic view, rewrite the profile view, and make a decent looking...

Project GDU - Typography

Posted at: Thu, 07 Jul 2011 06:38:00 +0000

Welcome to the first entry of Project GDU :)

Today I am going to show you the initial look at some of the typography. I have gone for green for two reasons: 1. It was the main color of our longest surviving theme and 2. to depart from the most common website color, blue. I think that will help establish a unique factor to the site (not the green, the fact...
