Lysandre Labs

Whew! It's been a little over a year since I first unveiled this website, and a little under a year since I last updated it. I'm a bit sad I missed the actual anniversary date on account of IRL happenings and health troubles, but this is better than nothing.

This website is not abandoned! Unfortunately, as it turns out, I have ADD (nobody is surprised) and once my months-long hyperfixation irt webdev ended, it became really difficult to get back into it, not to mention all the other stuff I had to take care of. Plus, of course, Z-A coming out required a longer adaptation period than I expected, which seems silly in retrospect. This is basically the game I'd given up on ever coming out all the way back in 2016, lol.

But enough about me! Here's a little about what's been updated, and what will be my priority in the next few months. Recent updates:

• Added a RSS feed. This actually dates all the way back to last August, but I thought I'd point it out anyway. This will be the first update that's also cross-posted to the RSS feed!
• Updated the banner. It was always meant to be temporary, I just couldn't figure out what to replace it with. I'm not 100% satisfied with the new one (which is simply an animated pixel art version of the splash page illustration I'm still fond of) but it's still way better. I also modified the footer image a bit.
• Finally added a link to the PRFR fanlisting to the Shrines page. I have no idea why it took so long.

As for what I'm hoping to work on in the near future:

• The established canonical information page is my number one priority right now, followed by the beta information page. I'd also like to work on the quotes page, but I really need to think about what I want it to look like more.
• Even though it's way overdue, I'd like to finish and publish my Z-A review at some point before the summer ends.
• I think that's about it! I'd prefer not to give myself unattainable goals.

I expect some people are wondering whether this website will cover aspects of Z-A in the future (Team Flare Nouveau and L, mostly.) The answer is: probably! I haven't decided what that will look like yet. The future isn't decided, etc.

Thank you to all who have left nice words on the guestbook/chatbox, who have added this website to their links page, and anything else that ever expressed positive feelings about it. I'm very grateful! Knowing other people care about this site too is very encouraging. I'll do my best to keep working on it.

Happy Yaoi day!! The move off Neocities is finally done, alongside a few changes and updates, though there is no new content yet. (Soon!) Here's the rundown:

• Switched host and set up a custom domain! Now you can access the website via the url labo.lysandre.me.
• Fixed and cleaned up some of the code (and files, my god, I had so many useless/unused files LMAO.) Moved from Google Fonts to Bunny Fonts. Also now hosting the Floating Little Guy javascript directly on the site.
• Removed the hit counter on the splash page because I wasn't that attached to it and I don't really care about it that much... Maybe I'll change my mind later and reinstate it.
• Moved older updates to the changelog.

I need to contact all the listings and webrings I joined to change my link... Wish me luck o7 Also, if you find anything that doesn't work or looks wonky, please let me know!

Okay I know I said I wouldn't update until next month but that was a lie. So here's a tiny update before I go to real life Kalos next week:

• Added a webring spot which is very much a WIP right now because I need to get approved for more webrings first. Please pretend it's not there for now.
• Archived a new old(?) entry in the opinions corner.
• Corrected one (1) typo. I should have proofread more before releasing the site, I guess!

Here we are! A few more updates before we go:

• Adjusted some of the colors again. I think they're fine for now...
• Finished the page about Lysandre's fate and fiddled with some kind of pure CSS tab system. It could probably be better but it's fine for now.

I'm releasing this website into the world... Please be well-behaved. I don't know when the next update will be; probably not until next month. I have a lot I'd like to add and I'll endeavor to do my best not to get too distracted...

The latter half of May ended up getting too crazy for me to work on the site anymore, alas, but in preparation of attempting to have something I can show off tomorrow, here's a brand new update:

• Made a changelog page, which is actually mostly a to-do list page right now.
• Hosted the flying Lysandre pixel on here, because for some reason this whole time I had kept the original Tumblr link...
• Switched everything that had to be switched around and made up a basic 404 page for now. (Hopefully it won't be needed, but you never know!)
• Fixed some HTML weirdness.

I'm putting the high contrast theme on the backburner for now, but it'll be my priority as soon as I have more time to put into the site again. I'm just not in the right headspace right now.

I'd really like to be able to open this week-end... So:

• Fixed some more CSS stuff so I can finally sit down and make a higher contrast/readability theme.
• Restructured some of the existing pages.
• Started working on the page about Lysandre's fate.
• Added new buttons to the Links page.
• Added my ranking/rating of Lysandre's TCG cards. The mobile version is not great but it'll do for now.
