UPDATE : April fool's! Of course it was a joke, except one thing: we care about YOU, who used to like this website despite its weakness and "not so good looking" stuff. But to make this service sustainable and even larger, we also need the audience that is NOT coming today on BGA because of these "details", so we have to care about eye candy things too. This is a challenge to satisfy all audiences, but we like this 🙂 Last summer, we changed entirely the visual universe of Board Game Arena with a new logo and new colors. However, for nostalgic reasons and other reasons explained below, we decided to move back and restore our previous logo & colors. The main reason is the following : Een and I, the main facilitators of this service, are both engineers, with an artistic sensibility close to zero. Making "good looking" stuff, "nice" colors, "visual harmony", all these things, well ... this is not really our cup of tea. When we started this website, we went straight to the important point : efficiency. Need an additional statistics ? Here we go : push this button a little bit to the left, push this other element a little bit to the right, and put the new stat in the middle. Need a new advanced option? No problem at all, we add it and add it two others by the way. So yes, at the end the results looks like the Space Shuttle cockpit, but after all, we are board games players and we like to give ourselves headaches ! So yes, they may have good reasons to make this website more "accessible", to have a "wider audience", but to be honest : we only care about YOU, who is already there and who is there and have been always there. You don't care about "raw" interfaces, you are not afraid about juggling with tons of options. And by the way, we are close to 800.000 registered users on BGA, this is good enough 🙂 ! In consequence, in the near future we will revert some changes from last years. What you can expect is to see everywhere more buttons, more options, more indicators ... and you won't need to click to make them appear. On mobile, to make things clear you'll just have to zoom a little (at 800% everything is pretty clear). So yes the website may be a little bit more complex than today, but we are now writing a very simple PDF with a dozen of pages to explain how all of this will work. Like a BGA game rules. Simple and efficient. Of course, the new-old logo symbolize this first step of this direction change. In the following weeks you'll see other changes, and we hope that this will allow you to go further with BGA, for the love of board games, only board games, without eye-candy stuff - after all, why not play in text mode? The team.
April se: BGA logotipa: nazad na poćetak
Ispravka: april se!
Naravno da je šala, osim jedne stvari: nam je stalo do tebe, koji je kao ova Web lokacija, uprkos njene slabosti i „nije tako zgodan” stvari.
Ali da bi ova usluga održivog i ojacaju, moramo i publika to danas ne dolazi na BGA zbog ovih „detalji”, tako da moramo da se brine za oko slatkiša stvari i.
Ovo je izazov da se zadovolji publika, ali smo se ovako
Prošlog leta smo potpuno promenio vizuelni univerzumu društvena igra arene uz novi logo i novim bojama.
Međutim, za nostalgiju razloge i drugih razloga objašnjen u nastavku teksta, odlučili smo da se nazad i Vratite nam prethodni logotip & boje.
Glavni razlog je sledeća: video, glavni tih zgrada ove usluge, smo obojica inženjeri, sa neki umetničkog senzibiliteta blizu nule.
Pravi „izgleda dobro” stvari ", „fina” boje", „vizualni sklad” "," sve ove stvari, pa...
Ovo nije stvarno nam čaj.
Kada smo poceli ovu Web lokaciju, krenuli smo pravo na važne tačke: efikasnost.
Potrebna je dodatna statistika?
Evo ga: malo pritisnem ovo dugme sa leve strane, pritisni ovo neki drugi element malo udesno i stavite novi stat u sredinu.
Treba mi nova napredna opcija?
Nema problema uopste, smo ga dodate i dodate druge dve usput.
Tako da, na kraju rezultate kako izgleda kao Space Shuttle kabini, ali na kraju krajeva, we su društvene igre igrača, a mi volimo da damo sebi glavobolje !
Tako da, imaju dobre razloge za ovu Web lokaciju više „pristupačnost”, da ima „širu grupu korisnika”, ali da budem iskren: mi je samo stalo do tebe, ko je tamo i ko je tamo, i uvek bili tamo.
Nije te briga o „sirovo” interfejse, te se ne boje o sa tone opcija.
I, usput, smo blizu 800.000 registrovanih korisnika na BGA, ovo je dovoljno dobro
!
Zbog toga, u bliskoj budućnosti hoćemo da vrati neke promene od prošle godine.
Šta možete očekivati je da vidi svuda više dugmadi "," više opcija "," više indikatora...
i nema potrebe da kliknete da biste ih se pojaviti.
Na mobilni telefon, da bi sve bilo jasno samo morati zum malo (na 800% sve je jasno).
Tako da Web lokacija možda malo složeniji nego danas, ali smo sada pisanja vrlo jednostavan PDF sa desetak stranica objasniti kako sve ovo će raditi.
Kao neki BGA igra je zakon.
Jednostavna i efikasna tehnika.
Naravno, novo-staro logo simbolizuju ovaj prvi korak u ovom pravcu promeniti.
Tokom narednih sedmica vidite druge izmene, i nadamo se da ovo će vam omogućiti da idemo dalje sa BGA, iz ljubavi prema društvene igre, samo igre na tabli, bez ulaznica stvari - na kraju krajeva, zašto ne igramo u tekstualnom režimu?
U timu.
