Title: Retro Refit
Post by: Dragon on November 28, 2015, 02:51:10
I've been working on my website a bit more often lately... and I felt like it was time to replace the logo that I've had on the forum for the past few years. There is still so much that could be done on the site, and I do already have an idea for a new home page that I haven't implemented yet. I just get caught up in so many different things and most of the time it doesn't include making any updates to my site.

Anyway, in case you hadn't noticed the favicon for this website, or maybe you didn't recognize it, the image was inspired by Trogdor (http://www.homestarrunner.com/trogdor.html), from my favorite web cartoon series, Strong Bad Emails (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail58.html) on HomestarRunner.com (http://HomestarRunner.com). I've decided to emphasis the retro aspect of this site by using that, along with purposely blocky-looking text in the new logo. It seems that I fit more with that than the bleeding-edge style of design.

For the people who are interested in classic boardgames, another area of my latest work has been updating the Conquest (http://www.dragonshobbies.com/games/cote) online game that I started years ago. This online game was inspired by Conquest Of The Empire (http://www.funagain.com/control/product/~product_id=015138/~affil=DRGH), my favorite board game growing up. Currently it is rather difficult to get into a game due to various restrictions, but hopefully in the not-too-distant future, I'll be improving that aspect of the site and adding onto the game area, quite possibly even sharing a game or two of my own.
