Hi Coaches! This will be your channel to know what our great developers are working on… This is time to talk about site design and colors: Our designers are working on the website design, they built pages with a simple red/white color that reminds us the charazay design we all love (really? ) but… we (mot to be honest ) thought that we are not building a copy of charazay… we want it bigger and better, so what we are developing for you is a website where you can customize colors at your choise! Here you can take a look to some screenshots:

What max doesn't say is that he is the first to approve all my crazy ideas Also I and with that WE want to bring the website to the new century, CBM was a great website at the time it was created, evolution never stopped and we should start moving into new tech for this reason. Also making sure that CBMv2 wouldn't suffer the same issues as CBM of being stuck in the chosen tech, so pushing bounderies to where modern website should be. All images are tests and might change <= important disclaimer But I am pleased where this is going at Norv is working hard to adjust based on my comments and help improve the experience we want to bring to you. I hope this is posted everywhere otherwise maxz will have to copy paste it for me around (or any other volunteer)

Hehe but most your crazy ideas are just amazing, can't do nothing less than approving it... Well, So we will introduce second stuff norv is working at this moment: creation of the website logo. Main point here is that motsmileguy dictatorship's is going to bring poor norv to madness, as our chief developer is never happy even if our design-guy is doing a great job, pushing his job where no man has going before Logo is supposed (if and when mot will accept it) to be official in the next two or three days, so expect to see it soon… obviously will have in it some basketball related stuff, they are keeping it secret, but i'm going to steal some work-in-progress screenshoots as soon as possible, so stay tuned Take a look to the work in progress

as extra information, this is done related to logo. We are creating a 3D scene for it to quickly be able to try out different angles and views for the logo and find a great match that reflects the game

Hey Coaches!
After last major update, with our migration on new forum and project's leadership change, the work has started to be productive and faster than ever, with motsmileguy to assign and coordinate everyone's work, so Luc on the backend and servers, jens on the frontend and norv on graphic design have pushed their job and what follows is an overview of what is being made last week:
-We made our first test with users on a webGL version of the game and the result was that it's impossible to use it properly at the current stage, it will be useful for the mobile app but at the moment there is no need to use webGL. - We are actually working on setting everything up with automated updates to our test environment, to allow everything can be tested without issues. - Logo is on his final stage of design, we had a small delay due to personal issues but we hope to have it by the end of the week. - Jens_vdp is working on the pages designed by norv and motsmileguy.
These were our first steps, put all up and working, now we will move forward to introduce the test phase:
- First step will be having a functional development platform that will allow us to have proper development time. - Once logo is done Norv and Motsmileguy will return to designing of pages and finding all relevant data and layout for each page. - Our front page should be ready at this time with no interaction possible (this is on purpose) and we will push forward after that on the other pages. - Interaction will be tested at that time on our development servers to ensure all works before send everything into production.
So guys this will take some time, but we are moving forward and it looks that we will have something to test soon, our new team setup has improved our productivity at hoped level and we will keep working hard to accomplish the goal to show you something more than a forum in reasonable time.
It's exciting see how a game like this is born and the skills of our development team are impressive, so, stay tuned!

Hey Coaches! Week update We are proud to announce that we have reached our first milestone in automation, our front end development automatically deploys to our test server. This means that we can look into moving forward with the front end site of the game and have Norv and MOTsmileguy back on design, finding the best solutions for user interface and game experience. With that in mind this also means the end of the logo marathon. Two weeks of ongoing process will have it's result today (more about this is coming soon). We will start looking in developing pages for alpha version and experimenting with what we actually want to see on the page. Allowing for dynamic design and responsive pages. This is an huge work but will lead us into what will be next stage of development: - Game Engine: we are are looking to start the ground work in 2-4 weeks. The reason we actually don't push on Game Engine is that we want our infrastructure to be ready and working properly before starting the big feature for alpha. What are we looking to do next week: 1) The team will continue to keep community updated about development as well as possible. 2) Our backend development team will finish the work on automation to ensure that all will work as intended. 3) Norv and MOT will design new pages for frontend and Jens_vdp will generate related new pages on test server. 4) we hope to provide you in next week's development diary some new screenshots on the evolution and as always we will be happy to get feedback also from you… All this means that the hidden work is going to be finished soon, we still can't give you an ETA but time to test is coming! yours, MBC Crew

Hi Coaches, Here we go with some screenshots, these pages are ready to be forwarded to jens and generate into test servers. Feel free to give your opinion as this alpha version of pages is intended to have feedback from you to be improved for next version. Thank you for supporting us!
