Embed video playlist on website home page #496

Closed Croydon closed 6 years ago

Croydon commented 6 years ago

We should show more from our game on our website home page.

For the moment the best playlist is the tech preview playlist:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC2eyxCNVfw&list=PLCbZc-GgCGzLhkGS5l850tjCQrPUeapK6

In the previous version of our website we had this playlist in the blog section. We should bring it back and this time a bit more logically placed.

At a later point, this playlist should be replaced with actually game trailers and videos which are showing gameplay.

I am willing to pick this up, just need some UI design guidance.

@movabo Could you maybe mentor this?

movabo commented 6 years ago

I think it should look somewhat like that: capture Either as own site (with a new entry to the nav) or just below the download button so you can see it when you scoll down. But please make sure to use "youtube-nocookie.com" at the embed and not "youtube.com". And it would be great if the margin below the video (at the screenshot) would be removed as well. :)

Please no extra site. The home page is there for a good first impression, which we can best get done with videos. That's why the issue says clearly home page :)

Maybe @alwasa0b might dig into this? 💛

a-teammate commented 6 years ago

why no extra site? its always hard to embedd a yt-video in a nice looking fashion imo. @terencode maybe you got some ideas?

If its not doable to look good on the home site, i think an extra site wouldnt hurt

alwasa0b commented 6 years ago

Yep, working on it. Let see how it looks on the main page first and go from there.

brainloc commented 6 years ago

@Croydon I'll move it up like it shows in the screenshot.

a-teammate commented 6 years ago

My personal problem with this (having yt vids on the website and having yt vids on the home site which drives the image you expect): the videos do not give a good impression how inexor is currently. They are mostly proof of concepts from 2 years ago.. Yes that's a different issue, maybe "add up to date YouTube videos and remove non-official ones". If we can integrate the videos in a nice looking way and update the videos it would be really cool :)
