Hey guys, thanks for the hunt! :) We have started Crossyards as a hobby project a while ago and we are trying to build a community of creative people. I am really amazed by the number of new yards created just today. I urge you to check back frequently, they are quite epic :) Recently we have been working on an extension that enables users to create game worlds and play games on their own yards, we will release that soon. Check our twitter account (@Crossyards) and our Facebook page for screenshots and updates. We are happy to be here and answer your questions! Any feedback is also appreciated!

@levidobson This looks like a lot of fun. Looking forward to trying it out. Aside from being a way to be creative it looks like it could be used as a unique way to display a use-case for different product scenarios.

@elilaipson Thank you, try it and let us know what you think :) What do you mean by "different product scenarios"?

@levidobson I'm talking about helping communicate these types of things: http://bit.ly/1FIedJD and http://bit.ly/1HzxsoY - helping companies visualize the user scenario they're looking to solve - or explain how the company has created an entirely new (faster/easier/more efficient) scenario that solves a problem. Maybe it's not the right medium but I really like the idea of using these little squares with people or offices or whatever to show a problem or process. It's like a little diorama that makes you want to look in and inspect what's going on. More approachable than one of those flat boring flow diagrams.

@elilaipson I see. Yeah, isometric perspective can add some extra sugar to boring diagrams. This technology enables quite a lot different useful apps/services, however we wanted to stick with fun stuff, and not trying to pivot towards more enterprise directions.

Description from the site: Crossyards is a social website where you can share your thoughts by drawing them onto a rectangular area (yard) using a simple paint tool in your browser. The yards created by the users appear in the main page feeds, the most popular and most recent yards separately. You can also upvote/comment posts you like and follow other users to get notified of their recent creations. So it's just like 9GAG or Twitter except here every single post has a creative visual or artistic vibe and thus gives the readers a visually more interesting experience.

@dave_mb I like the GIF demo in the header, but it looks like a hustle to make a story. May be if you can add predefined elements like "bridge" and just move it around will be much easier. Have you thought about a sub-marketplace, so that designers can deliver such predefined elements or "groups of panels" :) ?

@ralev Thank you. This is actually one of the most requested features and also our top priority user story in our backlog. We want to leave the option of creating yards from scratch but we will implement some kind of a marketplace where you can upload/search sheets and objects to simply drop into your yard. This could speed up creation process as well as give designers a possibility to upload their own assets (and maybe even set prices for them? :)
