The main website needs some major update and will be unavailable for a short period, sorry for the inconvenience.

Will there be new content ?

I see that you also changed the slogan
From
... Games without programming

to

... Make Your Game a Reality!

Website back online

Post by QuestOfDreams » Wed Dec 07, 2016 7:44 am

After a general overhaul, the RF website is back online with a fresh look and a completely responsive layout. There is still some fine-tuning to do but everything should be functional.

this is nice but I liked old layout better I thought it was going to be an updated version of it

There are issues:

1.Because you see there isn't a way to see the latest forums post like you could before
2. You can't download the Original source codes from 2008 you have to go to github instead.
3. Some of the links for the rf home-pages posted on this forum becomes dead which will confuse people.
Nice and good job
4. You can't see the news post on the home page. In the classic site you could. So if they new RF version no one will know if they don't check the news page or this forum.
5. In the Reality Factory downloads when you hit the demo sections it's missing the Other's demo folder

Just wondering is roll-backing to the classic home-site possible ?

I am also wondering is the new modern rf site based on the technology on the classic site.

Or is it made from scratch ?

Hi aicd99

To see the latest post in the top left hand corner of the forum board you will see a drop down called Quick links when clicked in the drop down list is Active topics that then navigates you to the latest forums post.

Hope this helps.

I appreciate the update but i expect new visitors to close the RF page on the first glance as If it was a generic software application of no interest to them.
If it had the screenshots showcase slideshow on the background you would not miss the idea of what others could do with RF so far and would give some the idea to also try building similar levels.

Hmmm. Now that you mention that, I would have to agree. Some photo's would spruce it up.

To be honest I think QOD should put the old site back up and make it mobile responsive

or

Maybe we can have both the old and new site

the old version of the site should be at old.realityfactroy.info/cms
and keep the current one in it's place
