That makes a lot of sense, should have though of that myself.
Can't seem to PM him though, let's see if a summon works.

Is there any thread to discuss DVD/Blu-Ray releases? Not for any specific movie, just general talk.
I did a quick search with some keywords, but didn't see anything in the OP.
Edit: I just realized there's another OT for Hangouts. Sorry about that. (also found a thread that matches what I wanted, so it's all good anyway!)

Has anyone ever wanted to share or compile a list of tips and tricks for creating OTs? We could maybe add it to the OP, or create a separate thread, to give people some more guidelines or direction. It might encourage more people to create, or give longtime creators new ideas.
I was just starting to streamline a common visual format I liked back on the old forums with my Housemarque OTs. I found a nice balance for both desktop and mobile with stuff like banner pixel dimensions and the subdivisions of visual elements into columns to make everything uniform. Most of it seems to translate here, other than a few small quirks.

I just wondering if anyone plans to do a thread for AGDQ? It's a week away and I think the crowd that did the threads in the other forum didn't migrate here.

reminder that the OP is for future claims, this thread is not for listing threads that exist.
Been wanting to add some more tips and stuff for a while, but I would want to keep it general and not get too specific into numbers or anything.
I was going to make an in-depth, number-centric post on how I like to format pictures in OTs. It's still a bit specific, but the general theory can help create nice looking posts.
The short version is that if you design each line to be 1020 pixels you can divide that up into equal columns nicely to give everything a clean look. You could even get really crazy with the math as long as everything adds to 1020. This all works really well if you want to make rows for screenshots, gifs, pictures with text, or any combination of those. Granted, larger resolutions will allow typed text to extend past the pictures, so it might be better to start with a larger number, but then you'll need to combine each row into a single picture so that it scales correctly for everyone on desktop or mobile.
Long story short, math is your friend. If you work around a large number that is divisible by 2, 3, and 5, you can keep everything symmetrical:
The one quirk I've noticed is with spacing:
- You can't post pictures on multiple lines without there being a small space between them.
- You can't make a picture into a link without it adding small space on all sides. I played around with this last night, and found a way to still make nice rows, but it only works on desktop, so I'll spare the details there.
Personally, I'd really appreciate this. Especially since I'm new to creating OTs myself.
I decided to make a separate thread so we aren't clogging up this one. Tips & Tricks for OTs |OT| Design Intervention
I'm working on fleshing it out now.

I'm taking these off the list now, guys. You can just post them whenever you're ready but there's no point in having claims for them that I have to check on again and again for months.

I would like to make a Ratchet and Clank OT. I can't make threads until the 4th of January since that is when I would no longer be considered a junior member I believe.
Can I claim this or do I have to wait until then?

You don't even have to claim it. It's just for the series, not a new release.
sorry I'm new to this so can I just outright make the OT without claiming anything?
So this whole claiming thing is just for those who want to make OT's for new releases then?

All of your questions would be answered by reading the OP :) (I put it in the title for a reason!)
just read the first sentence lol. Sorry about that. Think I get it now.
Thanks.
Let me know if this is stretching it. Game is due out this year. I can wait for a hard date if needed!

sorry if this is the wrong thread, but do we have a thread to report "bugs"? for some reason, my alerts are not showing up when people quote me? I don' tknow what is going on.

This is indeed not the thread.

So anyone want to work together making a Community topic for the Wheel of Time series? I mean, its pretty big, there is loads to discuss, and we are on the cusp of seeing a huge tv series being announced.

I got draft for Donut County too, but it's just labeled with the vague 2018, so I'll have to wait on it.

I'd like to create a new OT named "DesignEra: Graphic Design in Video Games". The aim would be to show how video games aproach grapic and UI/UX design, discuss and talk about the topic.
How should I proceed?
Just make it and post it like a normal thread. :)
You need to proper claim it with the same format as everyone.
Maybe I can make some "standarized" banners and make some tricks here and there, maybe we should make an "OT Workshop" for people who want to make OTs but lack experience, it's often a very hard task and I think it could improve not the quality of the OTs but the frequency people get out of their comfort zone in order to make these.I was going to make an in-depth, number-centric post on how I like to format pictures in OTs. It's still a bit specific, but the general theory can help create nice looking posts.

Long story short, math is your friend. If you work around a large number that is divisible by 2, 3, and 5, you can keep everything symmetrical:
The one quirk I've noticed is with spacing:
In both cases, you can no longer crop up a large picture and have it reassemble as a uniform picture.
- You can't post pictures on multiple lines without there being a small space between them.
- You can't make a picture into a link without it adding small space on all sides. I played around with this last night, and found a way to still make nice rows, but it only works on desktop, so I'll spare the details there.
It could also have a way to have a post to practise and see how everything is fitting together, often people need to go to older posts to make OTs and see how is everything fitting.
Why not adding that? You say
This post is going to be my draft for this OT (linked to your claim) and then you make everything isnide of a Spoiler to not deform the general Workshop
