Planetside Idea Lab

[Hayoo]

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?

[Hayoo]

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.

Made a few minor updates on Planetside-Idealab tonight, although nothing too special, such as:

a) log-out/log-in spawn restrictions (no more popping up in an enemy base at loggin)
b) more voice macros
c) quick idea on roadsigns (concept graphics pending)
d) re-arranged a few side-buttons

Preparing for MAJOR post here on PSU and on the Development Discussion forum about Command Squads, a concept long in development by ZeusPrime and myself.

Here's a small taste, showing an uber update to the Dev's Commander's List that goes with the concept. You guys are gonna love this. Stay tuned.

VERY nice stuff man.

[Hayoo]

Forgot to add what is in-progress for the site, aside from Command Squads:

1) preparing squad-composition graphics for the Field Manual section. (Once everyone gets a chance to see them, I will be asking the community for further input).
2) I have about two dozen more patch note updates and concept graphics to finish and post for next week.
3) Will start announcing when Planetside and PSU have news updates.
4) Working on Empire News entries for the coming Capitols and Warpgates.

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

Indeed.
