Dorjan is correct about that being "my" concept. I made photoshop mockups and asked him to code it, and made all the graphics. He of course helped w/ the idea of the design, but I think that it's a vast improvement over what I came up with on my own. We didn't mention it here the night we dreamed it up because we were sick of the drama and having too many fingers in the pie....

I'd prefer him to have time to finish that concept and tweak it, but whatever. I think that it combines the best ideas of all 3 concepts (Mine, Spawn's, AEMs) and is the most visually attractive/most useful.

Anyway, I apologize that I sorta dropped this whole "movement" at the beginning of the year. I would have loved to have kept at it, but I started a very intensive academy and simply did not have the time (and still don't). Dorjan, too, has been very busy with real life, so between the two of us things kinda came to a halt =)

i like the idea of highlights video rather than the original intro movie. Other than that aem's screenshots look like they are in like 256 color and the backround looks pretty low res. Could he use one of the ones bacon made or a ss from his hi res mods?

Any screenshots provided can be used and changed in seconds.
I decided to relive the days gone by in my new blog.

In the mean time, I'll throw up Bacon's page since it was him who kickstarted this whole movement.

PS: If anyone wants my input, I love the contents of the video AEM quickly threw together as a placeholder.

Woo! New frontpage! I'm pumped.


Thank you staff and people that worked hard on this!
And I highly agree with Broodwich and TE.

AEM Video.

Oh he's already making new great vids!!!! Sneaky and talented.
AEM wrote:QUOTE (AEM @ Feb 8 2010, 04:25 AM) I have a YouTube playlist embedded in my page and following it will be additional videos which explain Allegiance in more detail. Most Likely I'd have a 3-5 minute vid following it which would probably walk a viewer through a typical game and show all elements of Allegiance with narration explaining what is going on. Obviously the whole game wouldn't be shown, but bits and pieces would. Also I'd have single videos on different aspects of the game such as commanding, etc. Others could use my vids as well of course though.
LINK to the AEM vid

Remove the "Oh I was just screwing around with this incredibly good video, tossed it together." comment.
Kinda like going out on a date with a model that says "Oh, I just had this dress laying around." :iluv:
Hell keep he first video you made around, maybe show it 3rd, there is still great stuff there.


Original video has nostalgia for some, and it probably should be there somewhere for background... but bobble head pilots do not make a good first impression, and don't show gameplay.

(And by bobble head pilots, I'm not talking about the forum trolls around here :lol: )

(oops, and don't forget, the Dreg lizards are a trademark infringement on the front page! I'm not saying change the inside of the stations or the faction... but TM infringements on your frontpage is asking for it.)

Suggest changing it to only 1 lizzard and changing it's pose? I don't think veggie would object for that.

Excellent work, :iluv: the layout, apart from:

Could you put the 'Community Home' button, at the top please.
I don't know about others, but I have to scroll down to it at the moment. It is starting to annoy.

btw, I use Firefox 3.5.7

Cheers
