I guess if they wanted to be sinfully ugly… achieved. The looks are a huge turnoff, and seems like they ripped off other games anyway, so nothing of value lost never looking again

Why are you mad about a game that you'd never be invited to play in anyway

mte lol

or that you don't want to play in anyway

putting it down makes them feel better about being excluded

Looks at taken list

Naw I’m good

lmao real. and now the vibes are rancid.

Nothing says you don't care like continually posting about how much you wouldn't want to join

hey they never said they didn't care

I'm just genuinely curious what's so ugly besides the big splash page? The actual info pages from the nav look pretty much like any other game I've seen

it's the big/main page for me. i genuinely can't navigate it or find anything without /?style=mine

i'm probably being an idiot, if no one else has similar accessibility issues with the main page layout, but i don't find it remotely intuitive and struggled to locate anything, to the point that i dropped off when i saw it plugged because of that. idk, i don't want to be an asshole because a lot of work clearly went into it.

you mean this? https://saltburnmods.dreamwidth.org/675.html

not sure how that is difficult to find it's linked right in the profile of all the accounts. the mod account is ugly as fuck on purpose but the other accounts all seem quite standard to me?

no, sorry, i actually meant this:

https://saltburnmods.dreamwidth.org

i completely understand that it's intentionally a certain aesthetic, but i'm afraid it didn't make it easier to navigate for me! i'm not someone who typically needs very polished layouts or visuals in game codes, since i'd find it unfair to ask of others what i know i couldn't produce myself. but this is just not user friendly to me.

is it hard to navigate by typing /profile into the url? some games and users on here have really shitty aesthetic layouts, but you can access everything through the profile usually or just view it as the site skin

new anon to this conversation, but that feels a lot like it defeats the purpose. i don't think all games/layouts have to be 'mobile friendly', but if you make it so that the thing you have out there to draw people in/display your game is impossible to navigate for a large chunk of people so they have to add in something to make it legible, you need to rethink your aesthetic. can i add in /profile? of course. but not everyone's going to initially think that and frankly, they shouldn't have to. your game layout shouldn't be stupid.

at the same time "this is a problem I could easily fix myself but I'm choosing not to do it" is also not a good look.

I hate 90% of the aesthetic on this site (journals that are just a single image and nothing else are bullshit imho) but I have learned how to navigate around it. honestly some games are so ugly with the same boring tessisiamess layouts it's kind of funny to have one that has made being ugly an aesthetic choice.

I normally would also agree with you except this game isn't trying to attract a large chunk of people to join it or navigate it. It's a private game where you have to know the mod. There isn't an invite request or even a way for players to invite other players.

like i said above, i can find ways around using the layout! i use /?style=mine, personally. but i thought we were commenting on why we didn't vibe with the layout. for me, it's not that it doesn't fit my personal aesthetic, it's largely a navigability and access issues. i'm not discounting that a lot of work went into it! it's just not checking an important box for me.

the icons at the side goes to the communities. the pop up box that says NAVIGATION goes to the navigation. the start button goes to the profile. I'm on mobile with nav bar turned off and I got around just fine. what else does a mod journal need to have? all the communities with content, and the info pages, are fully readable.

"well i can do it so obviously there's no problem" isn't the greatest way to approach accessibility

there's no reason a dwrp mod journal needs to be accessible when the accessibility tools are built into dreamwidth itself. if you have issues with layouts then you use the option to turn them off. that's literally what they're for.
