CPC Scene: a proposal!

[Targhan]

It's a good idea actually, I didn't think about it. Problem with hardware is the availability, like Skunkfish said, but I see no problem in adding that kind of category. Fanzines... Do they still exist?? I'd glad to be proven wrong.

[mr_lou]

Some categories may have too little content.
Maybe have a "Other CPC related stuff" category instead.

[krusty_benediction]

Selfish point of view:
If you really do it, it will be nice that the page remembers the chosen filter, because:
- I don't care of games- I don't care of CPC tools- I only care of CPC demos
For the same reason, unless you provide RSS, the website will not bring me more information than pouet.
Something important is to track dead links. There are plenty of dead links on pouet for cpc as previous cpc demoscene site do not lived long.
In my opinion, the missing thing for CPC is something similar to ada: http://ada.untergrund.net/?

A live preview!


The basic is here, except the database has only 2018 (not fully filled, and a few prods in 2017, 2009, 2004), and not the final design. As my web skills are limited, I hope this will work on all browers. I just found a free Python server yesterday evening, never thought it would work so easily.


Things are likely to break as I make more tests, but don't hesitate to tell me if something goes *really* wrong.

Damn, I have to turn on my Pi to give net access to my Amiga and I'm sick.


Brb.

Nice, and made me realise I missed a couple of those demo releases!

See?? And that's only the beginning, the database isn't even complete!!

[GUNHED]

Would be great if this page also gets an Tool/Application part. I don't care much about demos / games. 

[tastefulmrship]

I don't have any interest in DEMOS, HARDWARE or TOOLS... only new GAMES! ^_^It looks like an advanced filter is something that would probably be useful to all concerned!

[GUNHED]

Indeed, good filtering or sections.

[MaV]

Or both, good filtering and sections.

The web page looks very nice.I would delete the dropdown menu on the right in favour of having buttons for all the possible years at the top. That should be no more than two, maybe three lines in the future.I would also still like to have a switch for a list format, the current big pictured view would be standard and the list format as option.

Of course, Targhan, this is only meant as suggestions!

[mr_lou]

.... and *I* would put it all on Blu-ray!

I'm against it, in ten years we would require 4 lines, and so on . But I can put more years visible. As for the "line list", maybe in a future release!

Looking good! Nice neat design that does exactly what you need it to do!

My one ask is that you try and make sure it's as secure as you can. In the past some CPC websites have been victim to hacking and ended up hosting some pretty nasty malware. Keeping components up to date to avoid this is critical but obviously time consuming.

[Targhan]

The live preview now has all the entries for 2017 and 2016. Not so long to do, and rather pleasant. I hope some of you can check for productions he/she could have missed.

[mr_lou]

8-bit Memoirs is missing. 

[Targhan]

You're right!!!! Sorry. It doesn't appear in CPC-Power, so I overlooked it. I'll correct that.

Looks fantastic! Well done!

I see it's added now. 

A few corrections:

Minor detail: I've always written "Issue #1" everywhere. I don't mind that you write "Issue 1", but just wanted to mention it.
8-bit Memoirs is "A Blu-ray Discmag-like eBook (with 9 hours of supplemental video and 5 hours of background music)". (I'm sure some will complain that it's not a discmag, hence "discmag-like eBook"). (And some will of course complain regardless).
It was created by "LuBlu Entertainment" - www.lublu.dk (now called LuBlu Media).

This picture might be a better icon?

Good work Targhan!
But you missed http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/demos/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-!/

[adolfo.pa]

Great job! While I liked the idea, I was a bit skeptical about it; but after looking at the prototype I love it. I think this will provide real value for the community.

Not sure if anyone has suggested something similar in the thread, but one thing I miss is a way to report broken links or any other problem with a particular card.

Broken links can be autodetected, to a certain degree. And I strongly recommend implementing some kind of autocheck.
