A Swedish gaming news site and community platform, built entirely from scratch and run as an independent project.
A fresh addition to the Swedish gaming site landscape. Gamepad was launched in autumn 2006 but shut down in 2009 due to time constraints. It was founded, designed, developed, and run entirely by us with the help of our partners.
Gamepad was a news site and community forum for gaming enthusiasts — covering reviews and news about TV and computer games. The last active version was 1.5. A version 2 was fully designed but never built.
What we built
- All technology custom-developed in-house
- Powerful notification system tied to all member activity
- Membership with personal page, statistics, custom avatar, and more
- A large and active open forum
- Administrable news system with image upload support
- Technology: Classic ASP, ASP.NET 2.0, MySQL
- Client-side: JavaScript, Ajax, XHTML, CSS
The site was shut down in 2009.
