    Cool! I like the animated webm at the top, it's a good presentation of the company and the game.

    Make sure to make it clear that BeamNG is for Windows only right now, make it VERY clear. People are still buying it for Mac, Linux, and I saw one person complaining that it won't work on PS3.

    Looks neat. The video blends nicely in. :)

    Something I noticed though was that the different blogs kinda blends together, making it harder to distinguish the individual blogs. Some frames or deviders could be beneficial here.

    Looks good, I wouldn't mind seeing the name of the poster returning as it was always nice to know who posted what.

    Second that.

    Author, date AND time, # of comments, category and tags is data that should always be in a blog in my opinion. Also I'm not a fan of approximately time stamp like this: "posted x months ago".

    Looks amazing. I agree with all the above posts so you don't hear a repeated suggestion

    Not coming back. We post the team effort. The poster was random before anyways.

    And thanks for the suggestions!

    About the style:

    I really like the polygonal wireframe art (I'm easily sold on stuff like that)! I also like the minimalism, but at the same time think you're being somewhat shy with it (looks empty). Maybe it could be cool to have a polygonal wireframe type banner background behind the each of the blog titles/beginnings.

    Also, some unique BeamNG wireframe art could be neat too. I'm imagining a blurred and faded wireframe of a car, or a crashed car, or maybe part of an environment. Or props. With white space around. Put in the background in a minimalistic and subtle way just to give it some slight character, and at the same time illustrate the science behind your tech.

    Just my two cents. ;)

    Beautiful design! I really like the new "About" page with its modern art style.

    Although I do think that the word "authentic" might have been used one too many times in the description.

    Looks good, but by now I've formed a habit of clicking the second tab for forums from the homepage. Looks like I'll be frequenting the devblog for the next few days.

    Meh, if the word serves a purpose, then I wouldn't care. It's not like it's a serious case of repetition. In my humble opinion.
