Talk:Portal:Monsterpocalypse

The first of potentially many Portals are being brought online to the wiki. In an effort to maintain organization, as well as ease of navigation and search, ALL pages will need to have a category tag relating to their respective game. So, if you like, feel free to tackle a segment of the wiki and add a "Category:Monsterpocalypse" as the first tag at the bottom.

Thanks!

Is there a reason we kicked the button size down from 300 to 135 pixels? Gearbox 11:04, 1 September 2010 (CDT)
 * Yes, feedback from the proprietor. If we can get unanimous agreement that it was better the other way, I'll take it back.  Gotta keep the boss happy sometimes, haha.  So with that said, who wants it as is, and who wants it the old way?  ---Galactus--- 11:34, 1 September 2010 (CDT)

 * The target screen size we're shooting for is about 1020px across (figured the minimum resolution for people would probably be 1024x768). We can bring the size back up, it probably won't hurt anything, but I, personally, would be more comfortable if we had these all setup where we knew they would fit nicely in a certain resolution. &lt;Philip Rowland&gt; 11:37, 1 September 2010 (CDT)
 * A valid point. I think the 1024 is the LCD here, so does it look appropriate at that resolution?  And secondarily, I wonder how many actually view at that rather dated resolution.  Is there merit to shaping the presentation to that scale no matter what?  Thoughts?  ---Galactus--- 11:39, 1 September 2010 (CDT)
 * The thing about resolutions is, generally speaking, things look better moving up than moving down. i.e. something designed for 800x600 (which I've had to do) look fine in 1024x768 and up, but 1024x768 doesn't look right in 800x600.  You can always make the screen bigger than the content, but if the content is bigger than the screen... that's a bad user experience. &lt;Philip Rowland&gt; 13:07, 1 September 2010 (CDT)
 * Alright, so if 1024 is the target pixel size, we're not hitting the target right now. I just adjusted my 4:3 monitor at work and we're showing 5 across with one out of place.  It looked better when we had big buttons 3 across.  Do we want to target 1280 wide? Gearbox 20:00, 1 September 2010 (CDT)

 * We might want to get with Zach on this too, I'm not sure. I'm fine with upping the target size to 1280, though we need to look it over at various resolutions just to see how good/bad it looks.  To fix it at 1024, we could probably reduce the image size just slightly and get the desired effect, but I don't have the time to test that at the moment. &lt;Philip Rowland&gt; 09:23, 2 September 2010 (CDT)
