can i ask what you would focus on? enbette has stated that none of the site upgrades we've asked for can be achieved on the way the site is currently coded (including wardrobe changes, mobile friendliness, many other features that require coding which is just about everything)

i agree that i don't want the site's theme to change by much, however updating the coding of the site is huuuuuge priority if you ask me

There are so many other things wrong on VP that need to be changed, and a rework of the website design isn't one of them. I think they way VP looks makes it unique. This honestly feels like a wasted effort on something that wasn't asked for. Sorry not trying to slam anyone or make them feel bad, but a new website layout isn't going to bring new players and keep them here. Are there design elements that could change? Sure! And some have been brought up in this thread. I just think efforts should be better spent elsewhere.

Everything you see in the screenshot so far is just an initial draft from me. Feel free to use this channel to share your ideas, suggestions, and feedback!

One small note, though: I’d really appreciate it if we could keep everything constructive and friendly here. I’m doing all of this completely voluntarily, alongside my (often very stressful 💀)full-time job, just like the other Core members. In other words, it takes a lot of my time and effort, but I’m not getting paid for it. 💸
I’m genuinely very happy to hear your input, but I also want to emphasize that it’s incredibly difficult to accommodate everyone’s personal taste or implement every single idea, especially since all of this takes a lot of time and work.That said, we’ll all do our very best to create something that works well for everyone. ❤️

And one last thing: the colors and designs you’re seeing are all just mockups for now, and nothing is final. So please feel free to share what you like, what you think could work better, or things you’d like us to experiment with. I’m always happy to hear your thoughts!

Let’s make something great together. ✨

App is not in the works rn mainly because you just can't turn current vp into an app without mobile friendly and (most importantly) modern redesign (I mean not just the visual update), so once we're done with it I'll think about porting it to android ios too

Also, take for example the wardrobe - rn it's a terribly rigid container fully packed with unresponsive clothes boxes where you can't change anything in the wd system (no matter how small it is) without rewriting the whole design almost from scratch,
But it's also pointless to redesign it without the deep rework, so that's what actually happens on most of redesigned pages. (So, you know, wardrobe revamp is linked with the redesign, same goes for clothing uploader and other complex pages)

New header and pretty much everything you see on the new design is updating in realtime, we already have new clothing tooltip system (there's tooltip cache for instant display and it's not causing big wd pages to lag like current tooltips) and going from page to page is faster on new design



And uhh working with terrible legacy design like ours is making me want to kill ppl, so I'm doing this for my mental health too haha

Personally I think the leveling up system and manager needs a big overhaul. There's currently no incentive to KEEP playing the game and thus no reason for people to be spending money, especially new players. Leveling up basically means nothing. If the code needs to be updated first, then I completely agree that should be a focus. But so far it looks like by the screenshots this includes removing a lot of the "personality" that the site has which I do not agree with.

This project is very early on in development. 
That is why everything was initially shared the way it was.
This is not something that has an end date yet, and there is absolutely no rush.
The preview shown is a very early draft, to layout general boxes, but I asked to share the mobile version because i knew the layout for the homepage was still a wip. With the mobile version you saw fewer assets and got an idea/feel for the bottom bar with the shop, bank, wd, fans icons. And the ideas we have started.
 
There were so many cool things in that screenshot (plus more if i had scrolled).
Please have some faith in the teams that keep this site going.
This project is for the good of vp, not for marketing purposes.
I wont let it be about money

If you are interested in the VP market, go buy some tokens.
They're great and support us. They also sell/trade very well.
