Hive NFTs: New Design, DemoniCore announcement and lastest news - Hive Engine Marketplace
Greetings, everyone!
On this occasion, I wanted to bring you all the latest news from Hive NFTs over the last month. I've had some free time over the last few weeks, so I've been able to devote it to improving many aspects of the site to enhance the user experience.
One of the games that people have been asking me for the most is now available: DemoniCore. This game is using one of the latest developments I've worked on: the free template. If anyone is interested in learning about the differences between the templates, you can check here.
One piece of bad news this month is that the Immortal Creed development team has announced that the game will be discontinued on October 26, meaning it will no longer be accessible.
To allow users to continue managing all NFTs linked to the game, I have decided to keep Immortal Creed available on the platform until January 2026. This will give players enough time to manage their NFTs and decide what to do with them.
In addition, access to all images will remain operational until that date, as I have spoken with the developers to keep them in the cloud during that time.
One of the things the team asked me was if I could notify users somewhere on the page that the game will be discontinued, to prevent users who are unaware of the news from continuing to buy cards.
I came up with the idea of implementing a container in the header that would notify users of the latest news on the page, thus avoiding them having to manually check the @hivenftsmarket blog.
The container currently has three messages about the latest news: the closure of Immortal Creed, the incorporation of DemoniCore, and an informative post with the latest changes from the previous update of the page.
While it made perfect sense, I was quite surprised that the container didn't blend in with the rest of the page. I felt that the colors were too dark and that I had to make a small change to the design to make the site more attractive.
The first change I made was to all the colors used in the header, where they used a darker shade of violet and now use the same pink as the page logo.

The second change I made was to change the cover of the Home section. I felt that the new colors didn't really suit the old cover. So after complaining a bit, I managed to create an image that matched this pink. I also took advantage of the experience I gained using a library called framer-motion to add animations to the image so that it wouldn't be so static.

The third section I improved was where all the projects listed on the platform appear. I felt that it was a rather dull area and that it should be a little more attractive, so I created new cards for the games with their logos. I designed each card with its own color palette for each game, so that each one has its own visual identity.

The fourth section, which shows the benefits of each template, has undergone some minor design changes. I added a new background that mixes several colors that synergize with the main color palette of the page.
I have also implemented some new benefits of the Premium plan and requirements of the Free plan to make them clearer.

Finally, I made some additional adjustments, such as incorporating a custom scroll bar, since the one Google applied by default sometimes appeared in dark mode and sometimes did not, which was rather unattractive. I also updated the About Me section, making it more complete and better presented.
I hope you liked the latest changes I made to Hive NFTs over the last few days. Keep in mind that I'm not a design expert, and that's precisely the aspect I find most difficult when developing a website (I'm more of a backend guy).
Without further ado, I'll see you in a few months with a new newsletter covering everything that's happened on the site recently.
See you next time with more news!
