You feel like you've broken what? Don't give up :3

Oh shoot... the thing is that you're on a pro account and got the branding removed. Here's the link http://www.gdunlimited.net/gacp/1/dashboard That'll solve your can't-edit issue. The image for the game editor will be proportional, so make sure you've uploaded a long image. I know the cover image system needs like 5 more options... including a logo image upload. For now, you'll have to live with making large cover images that contain both a logo and the background. I'll take a look at your screenies. I'm still deciding how I will display the games... maybe in the manager but no one here's probably ever been in there..... EDIT: Ok I changed the code, thats for reporting. Deleting those missing images will work. If you do a multiple upload, the 3rd party JS uploader may cause a few to not upload...unfortunately. It needs updating but I don't have time for that. As for your cover, you added a square. There's repeat option so obviously... don't do that. Use the recommended dimensions. I will add those extra options later.

Hi guys, As mentioned in the status updates, I've the Games Section open just in time for xmas :grin: It's quite a beast of an app. I think my IDE counted it as over 6,000+ lines of code. Phew. I had a version ready to go live about 3 weeks ago but I decided to the pull the pin on that system and rewrite it from on-page editing to a back-end Administration system for the authors. As will be obvious, there's a bunch of features not there, but I'll list down from memory what it's features currently are A back-end editor for admins to create their pages Game's can have multiple pages with a menu (default) or display all content on a single page 5 page types; home (essentially has the power of a topic anyway), screenshots, character profiles (optional), credits (optional), contact (optional) Full team member integration; add members on your team and give them admin permissions, or add them simply to display them on your team list on your Game Page 3 Download uploads (with a bunch of display options), dropbox external download support Sidebar modules (creator/team members, progress, details) A fully functional contact form for visitors to email your chosen email address directly 100% hosted media: all image uploads are locally stored using an ajax upload (eg character profiles, custom credit images, cover images, screenshots etc) Forum member's integration: For things like adding team members or credits, usenames will popup. In the case of credits, they will use their avatar and link to their forum profiles) Cover images: A bunch of cover image options, but more to come. You'll sort it out. Social media integration (but more advanced stuff to come) Sample Games Ok, now this section is definitely in its infancy. I have a feedback box in the dashboard for you guys to give feedback. But there's a ton of stuff I want to do with this, including essential things like adding more layout variations things like the screenies, credits, char profiles. Adding interactive features like comments, likes, etc. (read the list in the dashboard when you create a game :) ). And of course, team management for making the game creation process easier for online teams. It has GDU branded all over it. The original plan was to make this a standalone website in itself at the other domain, but at the moment this is its home. I really hope people like this and find a use for it. I'm leaving 'ol NZ tomorrow for 'bout 50 days so there's not a lot that will happen with this by then. But I just wanted to say, I'm getting old. This year I've made a lot of features for the site and written them completely myself: tuts, scripts, resources and now games. Things haven't been the same around here. The great downtime of '12 really stung us, particularly in the search rankings with our domain only being in fulltime use for a few months. If there's no future in the games section, I am definitely retiring :P The coming year may be our last in a 7 year stretch, but that's the natural course of things. Make Games (click me) I've made a few updates since making this post. The main ones being that new games (that you publish yourself) will be displayed on the board index. And also once you make a game, you'll get a new drop down menu (I'm working on getting the icons..)

True true... it got so much traction and popularity but never made it off the press (is that the right saying?) I'll remove it shortly.

Hey... its YOU! Welcome back :D Great to see one of our old active members drop by. They've been leaving as of late. It sucks you don't have much time but at least you'll have money :) I haven't been too active around here lately... but I've been working on something not so super secret.. I sent you a PM recently and you told me you were busy working for the family biz... sorry if I forgot to reply :annoyed:

Welcome to RMU! :thumbsup:

Oops forgot to change a variable. All fixed. Lol one of our members appears to be quite a disturbed guy...

Which is quite unusual suppose, since I've been working on the games section. But I decided to rebuild the editing system so that's going to take a while longer, but be way more flexible :) So, the resources section Before There was a dilemma; battlers, characters, title screens etc are the same all the RPG Makers (and other 2D software) but these engines had their own categories. So I merged these "general" categories under each Engine category, meaning you could access battlers for example under each category. Clicking an image opened up a larger preview (exactly like the new google images) There were only pageviews + author shown under an image while viewing a category; no image Each parent category had its sub categories' images mixed with its own. homepage was a list of categories, only Nao A big 'ol category box where I've given our visitors the benefit of the doubt that they can navigate it (hopefully overall its less confusing) Clicking an image will go to it's page with a full preview Image titles are now displayed Parent categories don't have child categories' images; you gotta go to the child cat to get to them. The homepage now has a list of 44 of the most recent image uploads and cats in the sidebar Screenies Also I want to know how important comments in this section are to you guys; poll above. Plz vote :)

I'm going to rewrite the editing system. Not that anyone but bobbles, Ace and I know but right now its pop-up models and live updating right there on the page you're changing. I'm changing that. Now pages will just have links to their settings. I think I'm going to make so its like a full admin control panel. Yeah. That'll work. However this project is in jeopardy. It's 19 days till I leave the country for #holidays and I got stuff going on too so. We'll see what happens. Hopefully people are still makin' games these days.

Crimson you're back :D Moty 2012. Or 11? U stayin'? :( I've been working really hard on stuff lately as usual. I've been thinking about project cards v3 :)

Finally, the first edition of the Games section is (almost) ready to be rolled out. That will mean the games forum will soon become a mere archive ;) I've been on a coding binge for about 3.5 weeks now, and I want to get this live ASAP. Although it will not be a complete system, most of the displaying of content is done. What won't be quite available is interactive features, but I'll talk about that another time :) Before we roll this out live, I want a few of our forum members to give it a decent run through. I'm going to lock up it up tight except for the few who volunteer, so reply here if you're interested. For the testing, I preferably want you to just add your existing project in there. So hopefully you have a forum topic out there or whatever. I basically want to see you guys customize your sites to your own preferences and see how they come out. I want testers to give it a run through, see what's good and what's bad and (if you like) post back here. I sorta want to build a wee bit of hype for it, since I've been keeping it so secret :P Bob, you're in despite your betrayal... It just so happens your game is the one I used to build the system around. How ironic. From the point of release, there will be no sharing your game with other sites, you'll be sharing the link... :yo:

I'd use Camtasia studio.

Good job Mepps :thumbsup:

Welcome! I look forward to seeing your game sometime :)
