User blog:Poppyfield/Zest in progress

Zest is in progress. I'm building it from the ground-up. I'm not big on Bootstrap, or any other frameworks for that matter, because I find them bulky and loaded with much more than I could ever need (or want)&mdash;so this ish is gonna take a while.

I made forums, but now I can't get back into them&mdash;and others were having difficulties, SO I GIVE UP ON THAT. I got a laptop.~ Whilst I've got various life shiz to worry about and focus on, I need something to do to relax me instead of playing Facebook games forever ('cause that stuff's endless).

Everything is going to take A WHILE, but I figured you guys would all appreciate some updates so you're not completely in the dark.

You can view the main page @ https://zest.effys.space, though I need to update it to not have the info on the forums.~

Basic info

 * Everything will be automated except updates. I'll try to get updates out on a monthly basis, but for the most part, you should be able to play and level up without having to rely on many staff-related duties.
 * Levels will rely on experience points (XP), which will be given from every activity (except commenting, because that's too much for me to process.
 * You will be able to buy things using coins you collect. There will be a food court/farmer's market available.
 * It will be basic, with the ability to build more parts&mdash;and more parts I'd love to add! I'd love to take the ideas from before and integrate them. I've created "Quests", which will take a lot longer to add and code and sort, etc.&mdash;but they'll be completely optional.
 * Previous donations do not count towards rewards. It's a lot to keep up with and sort out, and there are so many changes to Zest&mdash;and it's so old&mdash;that it seems easier to keep up with by having everyone start over&hellip;especially since masteries do earn XP and there's a new reward system in place altogether.

I'm still undecided on member cards, a fun but tedious commodity.

Staff
I have a list of people who replied on the forums, and I'm not taking any more names at the moment&mdash;I'd rather have an idea of what all positions are needed before doing that. :)

Next update
I'll update after I finish rebuilding the site's skin/theme/layout/whatever you wish to call it.
