Welcome to HBGames, a leading amateur game development forum and Discord server. All are welcome, and amongst our ranks you will find experts in their field from all aspects of video game design and development.

[updates] The minor updates thread

  • Web Programming and Hardware is now called Websites and Computers to better reflect it's nature.
  • Moved a large chunk of threads from General Discussion to other forums from times when those forums didn't exist (such as Other Entertainment, or Music Discussion). Just general spring cleaning and to try and shunt numbers from general to gaming.
 
I have added rel="nofollow" to memberlist links (member's websites).

This should not affect anybody, all it means is Googlebot will not count these links towards page rank. In short, it is an attack at Spambots who register fake accounts just to get their link in the memberlist to raise their site's Google presence.

It should not affect normal members - just put your link in your siggie or whatnot.

"Member's websites" is not meant to be an advertising spot anyway, merely a way for folk to find out more about you.
 
Homepage

Now shows Scripts and Completed Games.


Articles

Has been renamed "Game Making News"; plan is to update this with indie game making news if and when it comes in. Essentially, what the eZine should have been. (Sorry about the eZine... after xieke went down, seeing as nobody else in the world was interested in it, I just didn't have the heart to remake the old issues)


Style Changer

The homepage style changer, which turned out to be temp only, has been switcheroo'd with the one from the bottom of the forums so is now permanent.

Note: some styles need updating; will do in a short while.
 
Ruby Game Making Support was getting very little posting, and I realised we don't have any other games programming boards.

So I have renamed it "Games Programming Support" and gave it a new description to match.

Everything that was there still goes there, just other languages are allowed now (C++, Java, etc).
 
If you check the box at the bottom of the page you will find "Eat Greens Erryday" - our first ever green theme.

It was the anniversary of the Russian Revolution. While I don't know much about communism it is a pretty big thing to happen and a cool excuse for an event.
 
Moderation tools added to resources. Only mods can use them but they are visible to all because they're hosted elsewhere. It's dirty but it should work for us.

- Move file (and reassign comments)
- Rename file (and reassign comments)
 
Added a friendly reminder to the resources and script managers to say there are more on the forums, as admittedly the lack of resources does make us look dead when in reality we're the largest for those things. Major oversight, sorry! :blank:
