I think it would be really fun to have multiple skins, or appearances for the website. One skin for the "normal" world, plus a "Zarth" skin, and a "Faiery" skin. We could work the below ideas into another skin, the "characters" skin, where each major character has a themed section of the website.

===Juxtaposition===

Several ideas I've come up with require the juxtaposition of to (or more) events in the same page.  For instance, Ziggy at the job site dealing with problems vs. Ziggy at home dealing with problems.  I'll try to make sure we can do this.  If anyone else wants to do something like this, go ahead and write it.  We'll worry about the technical execution later.[[User:Ziggy|Ziggy]] 22:32, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Most if not all comics utilize noise words, emotional icons, and visual cues in order to communicate the non-visual or the non-still life. How do we implement these in a 3D based comic? Confusion, laughter, embarrassment, quick movement, various action noises, etc. --[[User:Hugh|Hugh]] 02:17, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

:Excellent point.  It would be very interesting to have no facial expressions and rely completely on emoticons.  Conversely, if the facial expressions are good enough, we won't really need emoticons at all.  For motion and action we may need further cues.  I'm guessing some experimentation will resolve this.  Any wild ideas of how to convey these non-visual sensations?

:I'm especially interested in smells.  Can we come up with some visual cues for olfactory senses?  Usually there is just a little squiggly for bad smells, maybe a cloud of some kind. Good smells, especially food smells, are shown as breezes flowing into the nose. Perhaps words on these "breeze lines" would convey better the smell of the place?[[User:Ziggy|Ziggy]] 19:13, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Layout of wiki

Standardizing

events seem to be the easiest. I think we should have every event page progress as follows

  • Abstract/intro
  • event template
  • discussion
  • sketches
  • render
  • final product.

In general do we want the page to be a log of every idea we've had? or do we want it to be strictly what we've decided? Because if we want only accurate information we should probably go through and throw out a bunch of old ideas around the wiki.

Layout of Website

I think it would be really fun to have multiple skins, or appearances for the website. One skin for the "normal" world, plus a "Zarth" skin, and a "Faiery" skin. We could work the below ideas into another skin, the "characters" skin, where each major character has a themed section of the website.

Character options for general layout.

  • Hugh: the graphic novel
  • Oswald: fan interaction
  • Zack: store
  • Ziggy: blog

An old paper I found: Ziggy

  • Hugh - Comic, Story arc
  • Oswald - Competitions, puns, randum stuff, audio, podcasts
  • Zack - Awesome stuff, social anecdotes, zombie stories, response letters
  • Ziggy - Text, more stories, real stuff, reviews, blog/rant

The idea of having interaction with readers (even if we don't have very many) is great. Stuff like answering questions about world lore, or doing pun contests, or featuring fan art.
