More Secret Game Club

draft ideas for new site pages. My final project for intermediate new media in art just so happens to also be my final project for new media in art last term, a continuation of my website secret game club. A monochromatic website focused on video games, secret game club is my take on the  secondary games media I grew up with as someone who didn’t have a ton of games growing up but loved the medium and now as someone who has little patience for coding but still desires to be involved with the medium. Secret game club follows an alternate reality games hideout with strange properties, I wish to incorporate the story here into site thus gamifying this piece of secondary media through the tools of a digital website, either through hidden links that the viewer will have to search for or through just exploring regularly. I wanted the site to be something about my own personal experiences with games rather than just the usual reviews but since games, as art often is, is a communal experie...

With as no fancy fonts, instead opting for courier new, I purposefully shoes to not capitalize any letters for the titles, or add punctuation, so as to give the book a lack of professionalism. I wanted to play around with the settings and not center the photos to give a sense of wrongness to everything so it wouldn’t look so neatly tied together. Overall, My goal was to give the book an amateur, pathetic look to sell the theme I was going for. (I wasn't sure how to properly link it so this is the best I can do)

Welcome to... secret game club.

  https://secretgameclub.neocities.org/ Welcome to the secret game club! This is a website I made with the help of Zonelets , a helpful html template, and Neocities, a website host. When I decided to make a website, the last thing I wanted was a big stupid watermark in the corner of the screen, so I went to Neocities a host specifically about hosting html sites, specifically designed with the intent of replicating the old internet form of websites (even taking the name of Geocities), because it gave near complete freedom with the layout and ideas, the trade-off is that it’s all html based rather than an easy to understand template, and I have little experience with coding, however I found a html blog template by the name of Zonelets,  and continued to edit from there, interestingly, even when still using another template I still felt a sense of freedom not seen in an more accessible blog editor website like blogger. I do wish I had gonna and went outside of template, however. ...
