There's a new Sauerbraten download and this one is looking beautiful. Just check out the screenshot... wow! This update introduces reflective water, performance improvements, bug fixes, and lots of other little features.
Well the time has come to upgrade the Free Gamer site. Things to expect:
- Tags
Blogger beta introduces tags so now I can tag all my posts. What will this mean? Automatic listing of article types plus game name tags - so you can get a list of e.g. all reviews or e.g. all posts referencing game X. I'll be going back through my posts and tagging them all appropriately to adhere to this. - Sortable Games List
I'm not quite sure how I'm going to do it yet, but using an AJAX table I'll have the games in a proper list sorted by genre, type, etc etc. I'll still maintain my own little top-ten but a full list where you can order by what you are looking for will make browsing the list much easier. Plus it'll be on a separate page so the information should be more direct. - Smaller Front Page
The front page at the moment is somewhat massive. Only the latest article will be in full on the front page, with other recent articles summarized with links. - Free Gamer Logo
I'm going to come up with one. Or if somebody else submits one, I'll take that too. ;-)
- Easier to navigate
- Easier to read
- And by virtue of the above, more useful as a resource
If anybody has any concerns or ideas, please speak up!
That downside to all this is that, due to the nature of the blogger.com templating system, during the implementation period things might break or go weird or not work. This isn't because I'm erasing the site and removing the list or trying to kill newborn puppies. It is simply a consequence of trying to get the best out of blogger.com which frustratingly involves doing a lot of update development directly on a live site.
