Hello hello! So I've been working on the webpage layout for the following projects:
Advertising CampaignBanner AdsInformation CenterHere is a
mockup of the layout.
I really think we can get this off the ground! As of now, we have a design concept and I have built the bones of the webpage with html and css. It would be great to have something out there that tells our story, is visually impacting, and showcases the greatness of our game. It was suggested in one of the above threads to have this page show up under the SaveCoH.com domain - but I don't know who maintains that page and whatnot.
So while the page hosting stuff gets worked out, we can focus on the bulk of the content.
My idea was to have a long continuous page, broken up into sections. We'll work each section at a time. Think of it as a vertical timeline with chapters. Think comic book, or better yet, graphic novel.
Lets get started!
Section Chapters: An Outline
Our Story Chapter Points:
- Takes place on August 31, 2012.

- Two new powers just came out a month before.
- Paragon City was buzzing with excitement for the upcoming Issue 24! (link to overview)
- Was this the weekend it would launch?
but then......

Disclaimer: Lets try to keep the focus away from bashing NC$oft. Yes we are upset still. Sure, some of us (myself included) probably won't buy another title under their ownership - but this page wouldn't be the place to advertise that.
Try to look at the page from the perspective of a prospective buyer of the IP - or just an interested gamer wanting to know what we're all about.
Yes, this looks like a huge undertaking. I'm sure we'll be working on these page(s) for sometime, but that's okay.
Lets start by just covering what happened on the day of August 31, 2012 and the Reaction that occurred directly afterwards..... Discuss!
