Thanks for all the feedback, everyone!
@Megan, thank you! I am into a lot of obscure games etc hahaha, and I figured I'd have to shrine
something among my obscure tastes, so I was like "heck why not shrine the most obscure character in the most obscure game I've ever played". Thus, SPON was born. Maybe if we all shared our obscure tastes more, they wouldn't be so obscure u kno.
@Robin, I'm glad you enjoyed the site haha, it was really fun to work on! Lisa has a lot of quirky characters like Horrace, and, yes, poor Horrace lmao
As for the problems while browsing in mobile, the biggest one in my opinion occurs with the synopsis of the games, because the div on the right overlaps the div on the left instead of behaving responsively. I think if I wanted to code this part of the site again today, I could probably get it to fit smaller viewports properly, but that part of the shrine is clunky by nature (i mean, look at that wonky animation hahaha
). I reckon that the font size is also pretty small, and, since coding SPON, I've started incorporating media queries and using em for font-size instead of px, which works infinitely better.
@Lethe, heyoo!!!~
hahaha yeah, I should make shrines faster. Thank u for the compliments on the writing! I really tried to embody the mood of the Lisa games, which are always ironic and comedic and over the top, and I'm glad it worked.
To be 100% fair, I don't actually know what the site looks on a normal cellphone, because mine has a rather large screen haha. I need to look for one of those tools that show you how the site looks on several different viewports and start comparing lmao. Thanks a lot for your comments! I hope to be able to put up a few more shrines in the near future
@Megan A oh my god those collapsible divs gave me such a workout until I finally figured out how Bootstrap accordions actually worked lmao. I can't really remember whether I managed to use the standard Bootstrap accordion setup or if I had to modify it a little, but I'm glad it's functional. Thanks a lot for your comments on the layout and writing as well!
Yeah, one of my concerns, since I was shrining a pretty obscure subject, was to make it as beginner-friendly as possible without making the shrine more about the game than the character. I'm glad that I've succeeded in doing that!!!
Thanks again for the feedback everyone! It makes me really happy to know you guys had fun reading my silly little tribute to Horrace, and I'm sorry if my replies sound a bit ranty!!!! I'm actually really excited about learning responsive design so I get kind of carried away when talking about it!!!! orz
