At one point, Calin, will be able to edit our own game's descriptions and such?

Aye, for HHGTG and Disquiet.

Maybe later this week I'll work on some rough concept layouts for this thing.... 'maybe'.

So anyone who is willing to let me manually add their game and username to nexus before the submission system is active say aye!

Calin Leafshade · Mon 13/09/2010 22:31:43

thanks guys, I think that should be enough to give me a sizeable library to play with

if anyone feels so inclined they could make an icon for their game.

The icon is 45pixels square...The ever beginning tales is like this:

Edit your post if you want to.

EDIT: Snaklepants: Yes, the games will be assigned to your usernames so once the system is up and running you'll be able to edit it like any other game you added.

That's a bit of an unusual size. Would 48 pixels be okay, as this makes it easier to convert standard 16x16 or 32x32 windows icons?

Calin Leafshade · Mon 13/09/2010 22:45:33

Yea 48 is a more sensible size actually.

48px it is!

it would certainly be user-friendly to have such a service.
(especially for users who don't even know how to unzip, etc.)
it could also help indie developers to distribute high-quality titles.

however, the question is:
what is the cost-benefit ratio?

oh and congrats for the progress on the alpha version!

Snake · Tue 14/09/2010 05:53:03

Icons for me!

GreenBoy · Tue 14/09/2010 07:07:10

Bam!

ok again I seek the advice of the AGSers.. this one is more directly related to nexus so it goes in this thread ^_^

The AGS db accepts all games submitted to it.. even clearly broken ones. These are given 1 cup ratings by the panel.

Now, would you consider it a positive or negative if Nexus only accepted games which would be considered 'proper games' and not anything that is submitted.

I'm finding it difficult to know where to draw the line. I need to find a balance between not alienating the developer base and providing players with games of a certain calibre.

So what are you thoughts?
Should Nexus be entirely unregulated?
Should games be accepted based on a panel decision (yea i know how fun that would be)
Should games have to adhere to a set of objective rules with no thought for the subjective aspects of a game?

Mr Flibble · Thu 16/09/2010 14:40:48

I don't think anybody here has the right to tell someone their game isn't good enough to be made available. I'd be sad if we turned into that kind of community.

Calin Leafshade · Thu 16/09/2010 14:44:21

no one said anything about not making a game available. the database would still be the same.

but should games that are impossible to complete be available on a service designed to make life easier for players?
