On another note, this site is seriously well-designed. It may be the best-looking videogame website I have seen.
Even if you aren't a videogame person, you should check out the site for its smashing look.
- Kiro 14y agoI'm not sure if you're serious but it looks exactly like any other videogame website if you ask me. Nice graphics but static content and feels a bit old.
- Smerity 14y agoAgreed, well designed but not amazing. I'd argue the elements don't need to be dynamic (and are commonly distracting if they are) but everything on that site feels constrained by the page layout. DotA2's "Spoils of War"[1] page feels like a better crafted website - characters and images are not constrained by the boundary boxes of each section, making it feel far more fluid and flexible than just "images go in this box here". I'm not surprised Valve's page aesthetics are so high. They put a lot of thought into design. I'd highly suggest checking out their DotA2 character design guide[2] even if you're not interested in game design -- the vast majority of it is about proper branding and colour schemes.

- kmfrk 14y agoThe site looks like what many (many) other sites are trying to do but pullimg off poorly. I think this feels really polished by comparison, which is a nice surprise. It has some weird scaling on the iPad, though.
- planetguy 14y agoReally? I thought the font for "Scrolls" and the art up the top look a bit amateurish. Presumably well in line with the aesthetic of the game, but not worthy of any kind of positive commentary.
