So, You want to learn more on how i made this site, well then let's go
back to the beginning. A few years ago, when i was in this site called
'subrocks', i met blinchik over there, who had a website on neocities
when making a site there was cool.
I though that was the coolest shit ever and wanted to do it, but back
then i didn't feel like learning how to code to make a site like that,
and also i lost interest eventually. In 2024, i discovered that blin
updated his site(very rare), and went from using neocities to nekoweb,
and thanks to that i eventually got that itch back.
I started grabbing a bunch of other sites as references for what i could
make for the site, i took some inspiration from Pendulum's, NOISIA, and
EA sites, to make the site the way it is (althought not much was
mantained from those references).
Then when i got some ideas, i started with a draft of sorts in gimp, i
was also learning how to somewhat use gimp a little bit more, so making
the draft came in pretty nice to practice gimp more.
This is the earliest draft i have on my pc, it looks very rough, yes,
but it was a start, for some time i was planning on adding a banner with
random images,
but as i progressed, i didn't know where to put it, so it got scrapped,
it could see a potential come back though.
And after some time of messing around and brainstorming, i ended up with
this, which i consider to be start of how the site would end up looking
like, still rough though.
Originally i had plans on making multiple background that you could
change, and i got as far as making 2 different backgrounds, but it got
scrapped.
The last changes i made before i started making the site, there are a
few differences here and there, but it looks a lot more similar to the
final product, like having the marquee with random quotes, it's the red
bar at the top.
And then i started learning html and css to start making the site
a reality, and when people say that html and css is easy, they really
mean it.
Here's a screenshot of the home page being completed, as you can see the
site looks pretty much the same as the current one, but the assets look
a lot less, finished let's say,
I was planning to release the site without the goodies site being made,
but i decided to add it in the end so that people have a reason to look
around at least.
After making the home page, i made the other pages, and after finishing
them, i started redoing some of the assets used in the site to make it
look better.
If you want to know what kind of aesthetic i went with, let's it was a
combination of me messing around on gimp at the very beginning and NFS
Most Wanted gritty and industrial art style (The best art style i've
seen in nfs imo).
