many additional questions and updates can be found here:
Core Team Updates
https://en.virtualpopstar.com/social/forum?category=3&topic=369876
Official core team statement:
SNEAK PEAK!
DISCLAIMER: This is what the virtualpopstar rework looks like so far and NOT the final design.
We are currently working on a Website Redesign!
Right now we are very early on in the project, and nothing has been finalized yet.
As such, while we are very excited to show you our progress and ideas, we just aren’t ready.
Heres what we want you to know about this project:
- It is being done by MsSuicideSheep (referred to as MSS)
- Every page will get a redesign
- The site will be intentionally mobile friendly
- There is currently no plans for an app
- There is discussion of the addition of dark/light modes being added
- The site will overall appear cleaner, more easy to access, and generally more functional

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. ✨

Who is doing it?
Our developers for this are @MsSuicideSheep and @enbette
We on EN are familiar with Enbette, but here is what MSS has to say to everyone:
[COMING SOON, she will make an official introduction]
Why do we need a redesign? Is it necessary for other updates to be possible?

Absolutely, some things like eventual wardrobe revamp or hypothetical messages rework are at the very least much harder to do in current design, and it's impossible to adapt it for mobile without rewriting everything anyway
Also, it's not only the visual redesign, there's a lot of changes in the whole VP architecture to make VP into a modern web app. Everything (like hot topics on home page or user's online/offline indicators) is updating in realtime, + there's already a couple of nice features like clothing tooltip cache (and pages load faster)
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)

Why does the Sneak peek look so different?
This is a very very early concept of a mobile site to show you where we are. this is
something we have been working on since January, and it is nowhere near
finished. In fact, everything has been completely rebuilt from the ground up
Are you working on an app?

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

Who will design the logo?
We are unsure as of now, we are still in the very early stages and have
not yet formed a color identity for the redesign. There are many steps
between now and a [potential] new logo

whats the point of making the site look like a phone app if theres no app in works either... vp rn looks a little rustic yeah but it doesnt look bad and theres a certain charm to it, if anything making it more 2016sque makes more sense
