CALLING HYPNOSPACE OUTLAW FANS

[infini]

crossposting from my socialz: any hypnospace outlaw fans with personal sites out there interested in perhaps making a webring or collaborative page archive....? like, making a hub 'zone' and linking our hypnospace pages on there? smile... i'm working on hypnospace page templates that work with html, i think it'd be a fun recreation / dedication project :-) example hub page below...

this sounds like a really cool idea and i will be watching !! ! i’ll 100% set my site to be part of the HS_TechClub for tags too! :3c

i am a massive fan of hsol!! it might take a bit to add a backlink since im working on a site rewrite in sinatra but put me down for this!

[P.B.C.]

What a neat idea. It'd be a fun exercise to make a 1999-accurate section page to my little fan-site for this, and combine two of the things I really enjoy- sign me up!

Thanks to everyone who replied wow wow!! Here's my current progress:

• a hub page, a la the Hypnospace Enforcer hub
• individual page templates including the "Default" template, the "Bubblegum" template, and a freestyle one which is essentially blank and allows you to do whatever. (This is all based on the prior work of ranmpy on neocities, who made the original template I forked from seen here!!)
• game-accurate cursors, fonts, and formatting stuff (like the dashed line that appears around links when hovered)

So far what needs to be worked on:

• A game-accurate music player! (The CSS is actually all worked on, but the javascript functionality isn't. if anyone has tips for this let me know... also, the custom cursor messes up when hovering on the bottom of the button which is sooo annoying, perhaps once the code is in a usable state I can upload it somewhere other coders can take a peek at?
• The actual site structure: I'm thinking that it could be a webring-like structure, where the hub page(s) are hosted by me, which then link out to people's individual pages on their own sites. This allows for everyone to have as much control of their own pages as possible while still having that interconnection that makes Hypnospace so wonderful to explore. Let me know if you'd be in favor of this structure or if there is some other way that's favored ^_^
• Working tags: In Hypnospace there are also page tags that you can use to get around; it'd be cool to add functionality to that! Right now they exist in the templates but are solely aesthetic. I'm thinking they could lead to subpages on the hub or a list that filters through with js to show you other people with those tags.

this sounds like a really cool idea and i will be watching !! ! i’ll 100% set my site to be part of the HS_TechClub for tags too! :3c

That is SUCH A CUTE IDEA omg. I completely forgot abt the in-game badges... First off I'm absolutely putting this on my page... second off, I think it'd be awesome to have a similar functionality in addition to the tag system.

Is anyone in the Hypnospace Outlaw official Discord server? I wonder if there would be people in there interested in this kinda thing. I know there have been other similar projects to recreate Hypnospace things on Neocities, but from what I've seen, none of them seem currently active. I'd love to get more people involved if they're interested while still keeping the whole project manageable and (ideally) community driven, thus a more webring-like approach. Eagerly awaiting your replies and thanks again for your interest :-3

I'm probably no big help solving code issues, but I'd be very interested in participating!

I was wondering whether it would be possible to implement a unifying frame or header element for navigating the webring sites and returning to the hub, when I realised that would functionally equal the Melon Land Surf Club, basically?

ooh that would be cool...!! i kind of got away from myself and have incorporated some more hypnospace-esque elements that are like... an explorer header where you can navigate links and whatnot. however, there isn't really a 'go between pages' functionality there so i wouldn't mind having a widget or frame for that.

i set up a tumblr for correspondence at millenium-anthem-hq.tumblr.com as well as here lol. pretty much it's 80% ready to go... however, i only currently have the cafe ported as a zone. PLEASE PLEASE let me know if you have any zone ideas.... i want to go all out, make custom backgrounds and headers and everything. smile.

also, here's a wip of a mascot for the webring. as of yet unnamed but i'm open to suggestions.
