Abandonia Reloaded has some really neat features that Abandonia doesn't. Why not add the random game feature to Abandonia, same with the positive and negative points thing. I really like the way Abandonia Reloaded is set out as well. It's a great looking site. :bye:

Good idea! I agree that we should make some of those features available even here. :ok:

It is true that some features in reloaded are great and should be used in abandonia also
but we must bear in mind that Reloaded has A LOT less games than Abandonia. So i think implementing these features on Abandonia will be a lot harder than on reloaded.

That is correct. Not to mention that the entire database was laid out different for Reloaded. I've learned a lot from Abandonia so when designing the organization and features on Reloaded, I was able to do it better and more feature-rich right away. Every little change on Abandonia will require huge efforts, especially if its content-oriented (such as the positive&negative points). The random game feat could be made though, I'm just unsure where I would place that in the existing layout.

Well to be quite honest, I prefer the layout of Abandonia (although there is still room for some improvements), because I find AR too much similar to lemon64.
It's a great site, but not my cup of tea.

I think more time is needed. Let people visit Abandonia Reloaded for few days and Abandonia simultaneously. After a few days, they can figure out very well which one is better. Abandonia Reloaded may look attractive currently but Abandonia's look is quite better still.

Yeah, that's true.

Both sites have their unique points to them, and that's cool because it adds variety and depth to both sites, yeah all that's needed is time, it's only been a couple of days so far.

Well the sites aren't competing and both are good, so it's just a matter of taste... Which site will appeal more to some people (for me it's Abandonia, for someone else it might be reloaded...).

Not only are they not competing, but are complementing each other. Don't forget that they are there to promote totally different "products" and "services".

You can see from Reloaded that Kosta and Maikel have both learned a lot since designing and developing Abandonia. The site looks and works brilliantly. This kind stuff can only be learned by creating and experiencing.

You are absolutely right! Let's wait and see what happens in few days!

Above or under the news on the main page, maybe?

It can always be just a link in the game types section, which would take you to whatever the random game is. Like on underdogs.

Cool. I didn't know that option exists. :ok: :ok:

We can to that!

Nah..

I just love more the classic style of abandoia..

Much more my cup of tea..

But still very well done guys :ok:

:ot: Welcome back Wormpaul. Where have you been? Have a beer, Kosta offers. :cheers: :ot:



EDIT: We can add a few options, as I already mentioned - the few options that will make the site better. (random game is just one of many great options on reloaded)

I don't know Reloaded is a piece for me.

what's the point of abandonia reloaded, whats the story...? i don't get it. we allready have one abandonia :blink:

Abandonia is for abandoned games, while ababdonia:reloaded is for freeware games and remakes.

... as you could tell by reading its front page ...

off course you people still prefer abandonia. It's the site you know and like for a long time. This is just around for a couple of days. After a while you'll appreciate it in it's own way.

Abandonia's main focus is to bring AW games to the lots.
Abandonia reloaded has its focus on being a platform for independant freeware game makers and remakes. It not only brings you reviews and games. But also background information about the makers, interviews and other game related news.

Therefore it's different. :)

thanx :ok:

I kinda like reloaded more , don't ask me why, I guess freeware games are more my cup of tea...(not that I don't like the oldies)

I think their design should stay as it is.
Abandonia is "classic" dedicated to oldies and so I prefer its classical and a little oldie style design
Abandonia reloaded is a new (hopefully) expanding site dedicated to freeware/remakes and it should have its nifty,cool design it have.
I try to divide attention between both sites but unfortunetly I dont have much time recently
:ot: information that wont interest anyone:My girlfriend is finally returned! :Brain: :w00t: :ot:

Me three my friend.

See you on reloaded! :max:

LOL LOL Good one!!!! LOL LOL

I think it should stay the way it is.Each site has to have strong(and original) points.I think the layout of the site shouldn't be changed.Abandonia is abandonia, and has it's own design(with it's strong and weak points), and reloaded has it's own design

I love both designs...but I'm biased...since they're MINE!!! ALL MINE!!!! :drool:

And a good work they are :kosta: :kosta:

Yeah for sure. :ok:

And they're both good ;)

But that does not mean that they can't change. Abandonia has gone through multiple changes already since it's inception, and I'm sure it will go through more. Sites change and grow. That's life ;)

I'll be there to make it grow :max:
