That new index pic is YEARS in the making, because I wanted the new version to have 0% sprite edits. That&#8217;s all scratch-made, including a sprite done for the new group shot and can&#8217;t be found in the galleries yet. I&#8217;ll let you find him for yourself. That external link icon set is new, too. Like a lot of the things in this update, it&#8217;s long overdue, so let&#8217;s get to the rest of it. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"infocenter.php\">Info Center<\/a>: After years of neglect, the <a href=\"game_index.php\">Game Index<\/a>, <a href=\"company_index.php\">Company Index<\/a>, <a href=\"sfiles_index.php\">S-Files\/Character profiles<\/a> and <a href=\"vernaculax.php\">Definition\/Vernacula-X<\/a> sections have been recoded and the main page itself has a new pic with site character Vonetta (a.k.a. Vernacula). She&#8217;s in charge of the Info Center and likes the place to be quiet, so keep the noise down while you&#8217;re in there.. The pages mostly look the same, but there were a lot of little fixes and improvements to a lot of entries, and the new system I&#8217;m using for all of them makes it easy to make changes in the future. Unfortunately, since I&#8217;ve been working on this here-and-there since mid-2017, I don&#8217;t remember all the brand new pages, so this is a partial list:<br \/>\n&#8211; Definitions: <a href=\"definition.php?d=doppelganger\">Doppelg\u00e4nger,<\/a> <a href=\"definition.php?d=fighting game\">fighting game<\/a>, <a href=\"definition.php?d=fixedscreen\">fixed screen<\/a>, <a href=\"definition.php?d=frankensprite\">frankensprite<\/a>, <a href=\"definition.php?d=headswap\">head swap<\/a>, <a href=\"definition.php?d=tile\">tile<\/a><br \/>\n&#8211; S-Files: <a href=\"sfile.php?char=ddragon_billylee\">Billy Lee<\/a>, <a href=\"sfile.php?char=ddragon_jimmylee\">Jimmy Lee<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Custom Sprites: there are now separate galleries for <a href=\"customsprites.php?g=alexkidd\">Alex Kidd<\/a>, <a href=\"customsprites.php?g=ghostsngoblins\">Ghosts &#8216;n Goblins<\/a>, <a href=\"customsprites.php?g=ninjagaiden\">Ninja Gaiden<\/a>, <a href=\"customsprites.php?g=zeldaseries\">the Zelda series<\/a><br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"customsprites.php?g=ghostsngoblins\">Ghosts &#8216;n Goblins<\/a>: a new scratch-made Arthur sprite.<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"customsprites.php?g=megaman\">Mega Man<\/a>: a new scratch-made MvC1-style Mega Man sprite.<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"customsprites.php?g=dataeast\">Data East<\/a>: Santos (Trio the Punch)<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"customsprites.php?g=konami#metalgear\">Konami<\/a>: Solid Snake (MGS)<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"customsprites.php?g=sega#quartet\">Sega<\/a>: Mary (Quartet)<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"customsprites.php?g=marvel#heroes\">Marvel<\/a>: Black Cat (Spider-Man arcade fighting stance)<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"customsprites.php?g=illmosis\">Illmosis<\/a>: a new sprite of Vonetta (a.k.a. Vernacula)<\/p>\n<p>Sprites: lots of behind-the-scenes work was done on nearly all the galleries, mostly switching to the new image display format. There are a few new things, though.<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"sprites.php?game=goldenaxe-duel\">Golden Axe: the Duel<\/a>: all arcade big portraits are now there (and separate) and an new .GIF of the final boss.<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"sprites.php?g=pow\">P.O.W.<\/a>: new gallery with sprites of the player characters.<\/p>\n<p>Mini-logos:<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"minilogo_index.php?g=konami\">Konami<\/a>: Metal Gear Solid<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"gfxgen_index.php\">GFX Generators<\/a>: All of the new custom sprites and mini-logo have been added to the main generator, where The Mego WGSH set-up gets a better set of Konami face circles.<\/p>\n<p>**wipes brow** That&#8217;s all for now. Please let me know if you run into any errors or broken parts of the site, because this update changed at least 40% of the site!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First of all, just in case you didn&#8217;t come in through the front door, check out the new and improved index page.
