About
CorePixel Roleplay was a NoPixel-inspired FiveM roleplay server, focused on serious roleplay and a balanced, realistic economy. Players could earn a living on either side of the law, from running a legitimate business to life as a criminal.
In December 2022, as a favour for my brother, I built and hosted the website, and set up and hosted the community's phpBB forums. I was also a player in the community until I stepped away on 25 November 2023. When I left, I handed all the website files over to my brother.
The community ran for a few more months before closing. It later reopened twice under a new name of Reconnected Roleplay, and has since closed for good.
Challenge
To create an informative website for a new community, with quick access to key information, and a forum for hosting documents and applications for the server's in-game departments.
Solution
I built a user-friendly website with features, gallery, team and donation pages, plus a City Docs section containing the Discord, forum and FiveM server rules.
For the forums, I set up phpBB with a custom theme matching CorePixel's branding. I divided it into sections for each in-game department, such as a Chamber of Commerce where players applied to open businesses, with separate approved and denied areas.

Results
The website gave new players one place to learn the rules and get started, and the forums gave each department a space for its documents, applications and discussions. Staff could review applications in one place, and players could see the outcome.
Building for a brand-new community meant designing the site and forums to grow as departments were added, rather than for a fixed set of pages.
