Tank Video Scrubber?

Tank Video Scrubber? 2016-09-13 16:59:04


I was just screwing around with the idea of a video scrubber that looks like a little tank leaving a trail. Wondering if that would be distracting / obnoxious... Although the scrubber does vanish when you mouse away...

Thinking the tank would have to be a little bigger and better than this but does this have a certain charm?

I like the idea, right now it doesn't look half bad other than its a tad too small

As long as it's only a silhouette shape I'm fine with it, don't think it's an eyesore.
It could be that size and only enlarge when the mouse hovers over to it.

Of yourse it has a certain charm. The tank belongs to all things Newgrounds. Do it.

BTW Tom, do you have any plans of incorporating the ability to post blog entries on mobile devices soon?

We use a third party publishing system for the rich text editor in blogs and their next version will have full mobile support - when that happens we intend to plug it all in to our system. Our front end of blogs / user pages will be mobile friendly in the near future so hopefully the two updates can converge sooner than later.

@devilsgarage made a slick low-poly NG tank model and I used it to tinker with some more mockups:

I think the one that's just red from your OP is certainly less distracting.

Yeah make it minimal

Agreed, the one in the OP is the best.
