Dark Portal First
Keep the vicorico.fun entrance, but add ambient motion, shortcuts, and a stronger sense that the visitor is opening a world rather than reading a page.
Working Board
Next UI Direction
Keep the current copy for now, then rebuild the homepage into a more playful, explorable personal site: less reading pressure, more worldbuilding, more proof.
North Star
Make It Feel Like A System You Enter
Quest Map Over Resume
Turn the story into routes: AI systems, crypto rails, creative factory, and game worlds. Visitors choose paths instead of scrolling through every detail.
Projects As Proof
Make active projects the main credibility layer with bigger cards, status labels, links, artifacts, and short proof points.
Information Architecture
Reduce Later, Preserve Now
Keep The Current Copy Safe
Do not delete the long homepage copy until the new shorter version is written. Treat it as source material for game blocks, hover details, project pages, and CV.
Target 500-700 Homepage Words
Later, compress each section into one sentence, three capability chips, and one concrete artifact or project link.
Move Detail Into Reveals
Use hovers, route switches, accordions, and the Game CV to reveal depth instead of showing every paragraph at once.
Components
Reusable Pieces To Build Next
Four-Mode Switcher
AI Systems / Crypto / Creative / Games with color, cards, and examples changing per mode.
Playable CV Preview
Embed a mini preview or strong CTA for the platformer so the fun path is visible earlier.
Project Artifact Cards
Cards with status, stack, link, screenshot/art, and one sentence explaining the outcome.
Ambient System Art
Canvas lines, glyphs, scan fields, pixel effects, and reduced-motion fallbacks.
Build Order
Practical Sequence
- Add art and motion without changing copy.
- Make the Game CV richer using the existing homepage sections.
- Promote projects and game entry points on the homepage.
- Rewrite the homepage copy after the structure feels right.
