Planetside Idea Lab

Sup guys,

Just wanted to share this project of mine that I have been putting together recently called Planetside Idea Lab, which you can find here. It's a site not just about posting ideas but illustrating (even animating) every last one of them.

It is still very fresh out of the box but is slowly growing. This week, January's poll results are in and February's survey put up. More concept art for the "Wishful Patch Notes" section is being developed and the first cutaway image is progressing through the design phase. Also, each Empire's headline page has been updated with some of today's ammo revelations.

You'll probably recognize some of the ideas as ones that we have been begging for from the start of the game. This is more of a community-ideas site than just about my own concepts, so I hope you enjoy browsing through all the possibilities of what the game could be.

p.s. A thanks to Hamma for linking to my site.

Wow, you sure are a highly competent page designer. I like most of the ideas on your site. Do you intend this thread to be sort of a public wish list for what they wish to appear in the Idea Lab?

Thanks

A lot of the ideas are common-sense ones (like the deployables hud) or basic improvements that we have been begging for since the dawn of Auraxis. Some concepts are my own (as far as I know) and others are conglomerates of several I see on the forums but that I put a twist to (such as my support vehicles being both ams-buffers and small-team transports). However the ideas come, the illustrations are my own interpretations of the concept. And then the rest are collaborations with other players with really cool ideas that I want to help develop such as ZeusPrime and his Command Squads.

My goal is to have every single idea I put on the site have an illustration or animation attached to it.

PorkFryer, you are so ontopic all the time. That's probably what I like about you.

Indeed.

Hey, porkfryer's posts have been expunged! W00T!

Hayoo · 2004-02-05, 02:00 PM

Thanks! The pic of the week feature hasn't been initiated yet, but it will be up and running eventually. So much to do.

A friend of mine who runs MacOs Journal, had me do a review of some Macromedia products and I got to keep the programs they sent to him. Not a bad trade, eh?

Rbstr · 2004-02-05, 02:08 PM
