new store

Posted by bob - August 20th, 2007

I'm meeting with Abner, one of Ross' programming friends/ex-coworker Friday to discuss the new store.

We sat down over a month ago to go over initial framework using Stampers mock-ups, and shortly after I mocked up some HTML pages for him to implement. But we haven't spoken since then so I'm really curious to see if he made tons of headway on his own or if I still have some work to do.

All the indices and individual pages were done, and the back-end functional stuff doesn't have to be terribly pretty so I'm thinking positively. We still have to deliver the cart page to him and there's a bit of CSS stuff to work out where shipping labels are concerned. There is also the issue of how powerful this store will be, like order tracking and account crediting in the Userpages; all that stuff has to be discussed, developed, and tested so it could take a while.

It's a shame, too, since we have some absolutely mouthwatering stuff to announce.

I'll totally be looking forward to that new store... you KNOW you wanna let out one of those juicy announcements. =3

TheSoulMan 2007-08-20 20:38:53

Wah wah you guys fix the rest of stuff before wah wah.

Nah, just keep going slowly, but doing it well. No hurries needed.

I wish I lived there in the US, I'd buy some stickers or a shirt. Oh well.

Mmmm mouthwatering stuff. What can it be?

bob 2007-08-20 20:38:53

We've shipped orders to Iceland, Australia, Malaysia, Peru, U.K. and all over the place, just FYI.

Billy-Bean 2007-08-20 20:39:13

Lolcool.

Aksumka 2007-08-20 20:43:47

Real cool Bob. Maybe, I'll buy some more crap from you guys!

Do you know if we will be able to buy that shirt I saw Tom, Luis and a few other people wearing at Comic Con? You know, the one that had the tank breaking through with the sun beams behind it?

bob 2007-08-20 20:43:47

Ah, good ol' Tank Explosion. We're still deciding exactly when, but it WILL be for sale sooner or later.

Cant wait for it

PicoZX 2007-08-20 21:21:57

Get those clock eyes out of your head!

bob 2007-08-20 21:21:57 (Updated 2007-08-20 23:46:22)

I DID! REFRESH!

UberBarista 2007-08-20 21:48:19

Can't wait to see what this looks like, along with the new merchandise.

CAPTAIN-COW 2007-08-20 22:01:19

Great to hear you guys are working on it. I always thought the store was kinda pathetic, no offense. Since I bought everything you happened to have at comic con i cant wait to see the new stuff.

bob 2007-08-20 22:01:19

LOL, then you saw most of it. There should still be a few surprises though.

About the store being pathetic, we know. It was important just to throw something up there to see what kind of demand there was. Now we know there are enough people to make it worth all the time and effort we put into it.

Lalo 2007-08-20 22:22:15

you know i was about to try smoke once but then i remembered OH bob sold me that NG tshirt at comic con and he told me not to smoke i will NOT fail to him :O

bob 2007-08-20 22:22:15

that's RIGHT! smoking kills, folks...

NessMasta 2007-08-20 23:39:23

I'm looking foward to seeing the new Newgrounds Store. Will you be offering a feature to where a member can make t-shirts, stickers, etc. with their own original work except for copyrighted material? What are the other back-end languages will the store be using besides CSS (I'm a web programmer myself and just curious to know)? Thanks for keeping us up-to-date!

bob 2007-08-20 23:39:23

It'll be programmed like the rest of the site, whatever that is. It's all magic to me once I hand off the HTML to the programmers. As for those nifty ideas you mentioned, for now we're just working on a simple shop where people can order stuff we have. The fanciest we get for now will probably be a Userpage store shelf where you can display your purchases, but in the future (read: after bugs are fixed and currently disabled features are made available) the sky's the limit!

robattle 2007-08-21 13:20:31

Let's hope it gets out in time.

SlipperyMooseCakes 2007-08-21 14:53:50

Haha. Why do you want me to update my user pic so bad? I'll try and make a good one then if it is that important.

bob 2007-08-21 14:53:50

i was just sayin'... :)

Rucklo 2007-08-21 15:54:08

Hey bob, i trust that tatoo on your arm on the character select (staffpage) is an image of the real racoon on your arm? you do have one? eh? eheheh? :)

bob 2007-08-21 15:54:08

Luis 2007-08-23 01:46:17

if by mouth watering you mean chunks of pre-comic-con hair. Sign me up.

bob 2007-08-23 01:46:17
