Want to Start a NEW GAME? or Load one?

[aznpandaaa]

Here are my two roughs. Personally, I like how both of them turned out. My inspirational sites were:
http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/pixel-based-websites/
http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2012 ... portfolio/
These two websites kinda linked to each other. It gave my the sense of thinking out of the box and doing something that would be fun and game-like.

My other inspirational site is:
http://geneticeye-arts.com/
I really wanted to try something very similar with sound and animations just like this one did.
I also had plenty of inspiration with "certain" games to create these pages.

So without anymore delay, here is my first rough. With this one I really wanted to do game inspired websites giving it a fun twist to the norm of "About Me", "resume", "links" and all those cliche named links on the site. I wanted the viewer to feel like they are about to enter and play a game. When "players" press "NEW GAME" it will head over to the TMCC home page. With this page, it is assumed that "Load Game" has already been pressed so that all for "Load Boxes" already appear. What you think?

Here is my second rough. Just like the previous page, I wanted a game inspired home page. Can anyone tell which one game I had gotten my inspiration in?... hehe EASY! With this one, I wanted to make it simple.

You might say "Wait! There are a lot of requirements for the project you're missing such as class, tmcc logo, your one paragraph about you." Before you go jumping to conclusions, I have designed this page so that everything is one there. "How?" you ask. Through Hover links! .... Every link has an action when hovering. Not only will the actions show up, but they are in fact clickable links as well. Check it out below.

As you see with the "NEW GAME" hover, it pops up with the "About Me"

For the "Continue?" hover, pops up with a "BATTLE BEGIN _" box that will take you to the projects page.

"Options" comes up with a brief "Contacts" box.

"Credits" will bring up more info on TMCC and all resources and inspirational info.

Personally, I really like the 2nd design. Maybe I can add the GRC175 title to that one to make it more effective but I'll leave it to what you guys think!

The second one is clever,and though enigmatic, somewhat lacks in design. I like your first one because it is more expressive. Though, I'm not sure what really counts for this project. The second design may be just fine.

I see what you mean, lemme sit on it for a bit and re-think what I can do. Thanks =)

I'm agreeing with Charlie on this one BUT!!!! I think that the second could be a cool mobile version of the site you could incorporate the both of them nicely maybe using the same bg as the first one. I really like the texture in the fist one as well.

That's actually not a bad idea! Thanks!

I'm really enjoying the 1st one, as mention the 2nd one could really be used a mobile design for sure.

The first one just has a lot more visually interesting elements that you would see on a webpage design for a computer screen.
Its very playful, and eye appealing to me, good work.

I like your second design more, but maybe add in more information in a little blurb about yourself or the purpose of the website somewhere on the home page?
