Looking for some feedback on a fanlisting!

Hi guys! Last night I finished my first fanlisting: https://woods.calicocafe.xyz/

This is my first project on this scale. I reached my definition of done so I went ahead and just published it, but in the back of my mind, I feel like there are some things that are off. I’ve stared at this site for so many hours I can’t tell what they are :expressionless_face:

I would love any feedback y’all can provide! This is my first website that I intend for people to actually use, so anything helps :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Even if it’s just like “there’s something up with the spacing on the __ page”. I don’t have eyes anymore

Oh, so it was you who made the fanlisting for Slay the Princess! I subscribe to The Fanlistings Network’s RSS feed to follow updates to the network, and I saw that a fanlisting for Slay the Princess was coming, and I intended to join.

My suggestion would be adding some information about what Slay the Princess is, to both the home page and the about page, so even people who are not familiar with the game can have an idea about what it is in case they discover the fanlisting through TFL.org or someone else’s website. I would also recommend adding a contact form or information about how to contact you, in case someone wants to donate a button, request affiliation with their own fanlistings, or having some other questions about the fanlisting.

You can refer to my fanlisting for Cassette Beasts (another indie game released in 2023, and my favourite video game ever) as an example:

P.S. Since your Slay the Princess fanlisting is open to affiliating with other fanlistings about indie games, and so is my Cassette Beasts fanlisting, I would be interested in our indie game fanlistings to affiate as well.

Thanks for the detailed reply!! I will definitely be putting the game info on my splash page & adding my contact info in more places :smiley:
And I would love to affiliate with the Cassette Beasts fanlisting! It looks like such a fun game!! I will add the code to my affiliates section when I get home from work ^^

The moving background is visually disorienting and I can’t describe exactly how. Maybe make it a smoother and slower movement. Seems cool though

Oh I can see how that would be the case. Right now it just moves inverse to the coordinates of your mouse, however fast you’re moving it. I think I’ll add a button to turn it off, until I figure out how to make it smoother. Thank you!!

Just to confirm, it’s not lagging or stuttering, right? It’s just disorienting?

It’s definitely stuttering, I thought that was on purpose
