 AVA Teaser Site NOW OPEN!

[Sheza]

After their site maintenance yesterday, ijji have now opened their AVA teaser site!

This means it's cloner to launch! S.U.N is not linked, and KARMA isn't even on the site, so this means AVA will be the next released after Huxley!

Visit the teaser site:

Oh yes,good news,but I think they start Open beta only in next year.

[Sheza]

But it's the game of 2009 isn't it?

Apparently they will skip CBT and go straight to Open Beta.

I need help with my fan site =F

[FireDart]

Well the game was released in Korea, Japan, China, and soon to be Thia so if they really need a CBT it should only last a few weeks or days.

Also if you need a fresh set of A.V.A info that I have, I will send you a new zip. I have add some more info.

So just give me the word.

EDIT: They don't have a Sign-up yet am guessing?

[hexladen]

It is buisness
1.They start CBT,and start give keys only to paid subscribers of Fileplanet,etc
2.They limit game content like in Japan and China,it is buisness too.
A.V.A Korea game install: 2.5 Ggb
A.V.A China 1.1 Ggb
A.V.A Japan have 1.1 Ggb when realesed
3.Game shop will be over priced like :
Karma 2
Korea 50 000 Game Points
Japan 5 000 GP

What do you think as a holder for the site until I get the new theme?

[hexladen]

Lets see.
They cant realese Huxlay more then 1 year

[FireDart]

Nice but I would use Lightbox for the pictures looks cool :

or my personal favorite lightbox clone Clearbox:
http://www.clearbox.hu/index_en.html

[Sheza]

Site has been updated and now uses LightBox. Any way to stop the thumbnails from being the same as the real pictures but smaller? 'Cause right now it has to load the FULL pictures instead of small thumbnails.

[FireDart]

Sheza
Make thumbnails and use those for the small pictures, example:

Code:

<a href="images/castlerockscreen5.jpg" rel="lightbox[id19]" title=""Castle Rock" Map"><img border="0" alt=""Castle Rock" Map" title=""Castle Rock" Map" src="images/castlerockscreen5-thumb.jpg" width="140" height="105"></a>

Use this tool to re-size the screenshots:

best thing I found for free.

Also you chose a good video for the entrance of the site.

My favorite A.V.A Trailer is this:
A.V.A China Trailer - Part CGI/Part Gameplay

It's from the A.V.A China site

[Sheza]

I kinda cheated and used an extension that does it for me, and it doesn't have a thumbnail option, but I've located the area of the html that has the thumbnail option, so I'll edit that soon.

I got the trailer from the ijji teaser site, thought it was the best to use.

The next thing I have to do is major re-working of all the images used because, can I ask, did it take long to load?

[Sheza]

Also can you change the link on the main site and in your post at the ijji forums from www.ats-host.co.uk/avablog to www.ava-game.com

www.ava-game.com

Tell me what you think, forums now up.

You can use another FLV player,put few video and make navigation menu
Example

[FireDart]

Hexladen good idea of the multi video player.

I think the JW Media player offers that, and I also believe Flow Player offer that feature too:

Sheza that site loads pretty fast for me thought I have high speed internet, but remember most "gamers" have high-speed internet too so I would not worry much about speed.

The new site looks good too, you picked a good theme thought resizing the header image to 901px wide like the body of the site would be suggested.

Integrating the forum and the site would be a good idea too:
http://www.wp-united.com/

I have never used WordPress and PHPbb3(Actually, correct that I once install both on my server but never really used it ) so you got me about the WP-United.

Good luck!

WP and PHPBB are both "big  hole in security and spammers nest"
