tSR 2.0 Production Plan
Production plans for a new tSR hit my desk today, as I awoke to the rising sun of Europe.
A simple idea - A real system.
People are always trying to make a step forward, and always try and be the best and have the most content. Is it not true that it would take more to take a step back, and sort out what you left first?
We always try and just rush into things and get our stuff out there - but I say we need to step back, and make sure we can actually GET our stuff out there, properly.
tSR has always settled with "do for now"s, and never spent time in actually producing what it is that we truly need.
tSR is one of the largest spriting sites on the net, and that's very easy to see. We had over ten million page impression during this month so far alone, and plan to see even more in the future.
tSR as such has become large - the quantity of sprites on the site is immense, and so, it's time we set up a way for google to see that. And for a way that you people know where things are.
The production of this project has not yet been given a coding head, or any real staff announcements, however, plans are going out to try and use our resources to our best ability. I will do design as I feel that the tSR style can only be maintained by myself.
Below you will see confirmed staff on the jobs, and if required we will put up positions available for you to nominate yourself for.
If you would like to suggest a feature, do so in a reply to this topic.
We might make a possible logo design change too, however, we would like to remain using the same font and colours as the cite currently uses.
We have become distinctly recognisable because of our colour choices, and so we will not remove our image from the internet totally. Just make it appear more professional.
-----------------------------------
|Ideas:
-----------------------------------
* A simple updating system to allow faster updates and allowing us to provide more sprites, and faster, reducing waiting time.
* A better way of putting games into category - No longer organised by company, but organised by console instead.
* Alphabetical arrangement for sub categories. Games go on the page that relates to the first letter of the game's title. There will be an alphabetical menu with clickable letters to take you to the page of that letter.
* A search script, to allow searching for specific things. Category search, and Sprite Sheet search.
* Sections on the site for every game. This will be needed for the way that the site will be arranged, and although it may make more pages, it will make finding the specific game much easier, and reduces the condition of the current "Other" pages.
* A choice of how sheets are displayed on the site, from displaying the icons (as current) or the choice to see the site in a text based way, making load times quicker for slower connections, and reduce bandwidth wasted for people who don't feel the need to see icons.
