shootthecore.com doesn't look very healthy... is it coming back soon?

I like Postman's site, I just wish it wasn't so...well, to be blunt...ugly. I was thinking of sending him a cool HTML template that suited the site better...hopefully he's redesigning it, and not canning it.

Just some bandwidth problems, which I'm working on getting fixed....

Sorry it's a sloppy site, but I'm not a webdesigner, and only started the site due to my enthuasium for the genre. If you want to send a template, keep in mind that I use Dreamweaver and don't know much html, and I will check it out.

And if I'm not up by tomorrow, I'll post my latest stuff here in this thread.......I found some goodies but stuff is in limbo since I can't update the site...........

I whipped together this design this morning-

http://ch5k.freeprohost.com/shootthecore/test.html

I tend to like simple, clean layouts. Just ignore all the garbage text. If you'd like to use it Postman, just let me know and I'll throw together some empty templates of this design. Things can be changed easily, too (font/background sizes/colors, layout, etc.).

I was wondering what happened to the site too, I have regularly started visiting it for the news and fan sections

That;'s a nice design, but it needs something to tie back to Gradius or Shmups. Some images, even just in the banner on top, would definitely liven it up.

I agree about the design - It's not bad, but I prefer more graphics and stuff...........I'll keep it in mind though, a redesign would be nice......

Anyway, since I don't know whats going on with the administrative side of the site, I'm going to post my findings here, since they are growing in number, and I want people to be able to share in this STG material:

Not much, only that Himeya added Edoma which I know some people would be interested in.

More new demos to announce, most people already know about Tobi Tsukihime and Phantasmagoria of Flower View, but.....

Aba games released Gunroar:

and also Happa 64 (or whatever it's called) added some screenshots:

it's looking pretty nice...........

Definatly give Gunroar a try. It rocks quite heavily!

I'm not really a fan of full 360 degree shooters, but Gunroar is amazingly good. Kenta Cho has outdone himself again.

BACK IN BUSINESS!

Most of STC is re-uploaded, I will finish the job tomorrow. Enjoy! And thanks again for all the offers to help out........just goes to show how tight the shmups community is and how they always seem to get your back!
