Well here it is. Since last year (yes last year!) I’ve been working on this new design for the site. I won’t bore you by rambling on about it here, but let’s just say that after a lot of hard work I’m glad it’s finally up and I hope that Panzer Dragoon fans will appreciate the effort put into it. If you’d like to know more, there’s a small amount of information in the About section and there’s always the forums.
With this update also comes a completely new section. Lance Way has put a great deal of work into analysing and enhancing the maps that can only be found in the unbelievably rare Japanese Panzer Dragoon guidebooks. The Maps section comes complete with the original maps, enhanced illustrated versions of the maps, and three detailed pages where Lance has explained how he has managed to find out where most of the Panzer Dragoon locations can be found.
Besides these two major updates, I’ve have also gone through and tweaked a number of features on the site. Here’s what’s changed:
- I’ve added a link to a web archive of Team Andromeda’s old site.
- I’ve converted most of the ‘downloads’ on this site to .rar format to save on webspace.
- I’ve updated the About page, slightly, with a little more detail.
- I’ve added a ‘Related Articles’ section to each summary in the Factions section.
- I’ve added more ‘Related Articles’ to each mystery in the Mysteries section.
- I’ve added a second Theories index page (the previous one was getting too crowded).
- I’ve converted the MP3s from the Die Panzer Dragoon Chronik album to VBR format.
- I’ve added a newer version of the MEKAW emulator to the Programs section.
- I’ve removed the Webmaster section and exchanged it with a Staff section.
- I’ve added dates to all the pages in the Factions section.
- I’ve added screenshots of the Winamp skins to the Skins section.
- I’ve added a new music video created by Windrider called Wings of Gold.
Geoff has also revamped his Towers summary in the Factions section, so it now contains more details about the story.
