A New tSR?

[Yawackhary]

The new layout has that SDB feeling into it (until I checked I had a hunch with the console pattern) but still has that tSR charm which is quite nice so far. Plus it doesn't look too different from what we have now that I like.

Even though the word Genesis has a console is a bit strange to me (either the book or the group that Phil Collins is in comes first) but I suppose that I would get use to it like everything else and it would have been the same for most people if it was vice versa.

Aye - It was always my Sega Mega Drive when I had it. Genesis is the more "in" term for the console, however, and since about 60% of our userbase is American, I thought it'd be an idea to put Genesis, as most other countries know what Genesis is

I don't understand how that is strange to you. I'm American and I grew up on the Sega Genesis and that's what I've always called it. So even if it is just called Genesis I'd know what is being talked about.

And "Mega RockMan" as Megaman was known in some Portuguese carts.

I'd greatly prefer a sorting system based on system and not company. More often than not I'll know the system but not the company. Because I'm not cool.

Still, can't you just have both? Like, have the company's names above or below the consoles', and separate them with a line or something? Also, I know you pointed out that the colour scheme make tSR original and such, but seriously; am I the only one who thinks it looks like crap? I mean, I don't mind red and off-white-gray, but I'd suggest you make it a bit more vibrant and less like an old-person's wallpaper.

I want to see an old person's house with wallpaper like that - It would be pretty intense.

It would be cool to have smaller, faster loading icons like this:

We won't modify the icons. It would take about 5 months of work to change every icon.

Ehhh... Looking at that mockup, it reminds me so much of the Shyguy Kingdom.

I don't know. You always could ask the submiters to start using that smaller format from now on, and ask for voluntary help among this community to edit the old icons into the new format. Then you could ask the staff to replace the old icons from the sprite archive pages a section a time and in a month or less the job should be finished. (Much easier than taking the entire work all by the staff only)

The pages could load faster and the bandwith consumption would be lessened that way.

Proof.

One idea about the sorting method : the user can choose between system, company or theme? To each picture it would be + 3 new tags (the name of system, theme and company), not really a big deal, and to program I think the easier way would be to set one of those tags to true and the others to false.
But thats only one idea XP

That's my idea too. Sorting similar to how Virtual Console sorts games. From the entry you can choose to sort by Genre, System, Company, or just view recent additions. From there, the system will show the layouts based on your sorting method. The problem I see with sorting by system is that many sprite sheets cover multiple systems, for example Diddy Kong Racing which appeared on both N64 and NDS and both use similar sprites. Or Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess appeared on both Game Cube and Wii and are pretty much identical games. Somehow sheets will need to be tagged for each system they appear on. This also presents a problem for custom sprites which technically never appeared on any system.
