Three new areas have either opened or been redesigned.
Completed Games Section
viewforum.php?f=77
Completed games now appear graphically rather than as a forum. Each game shows a little image (if available), title, author, release date, number of comments, and the engine it was made in (if available).
Game Logo
Games have a game logo, Steam sized.
(230 x 88px, must be "SFW")
For now I'm just editing them in, but if you don't like the one I've made for you, or if you just want to make your own or don't have one yet, please let me know and send me a new image, and the topic number of your thread (or just a link to it).
Engine
Engine just shows the topic icon, for example:
Sort Order
You can sort topics using five options:
Use the green buttons to do this.
Resources Gallery
The resources section (viewforum.php?f=279) now uses a gallery similar to the games arcade. It gets a thumbnail image from the first PNG image in the post.
Pretty self-explanatory hopefully.
You can still sort into various categories as appropriate.
Artwork Gallery
We have a new artwork gallery: viewforum.php?f=324
This is identical to the resource gallery except artwork posted here isn't expected to be used in other games, it's merely for comments and critique, and artwork doesn't have to be game related at all.
