Announcing the new GameSalad Featured Games gallery

dgackey

Thanks @gyroscope, we're just getting started, but we wanted to get this out sooner rather than sit on it until it was "full"

Braydon_SFX

@dgackey -- just to clarify, is it "safe" to submit again?

SnapFireStudios

Awesome guys!

@dgackey -- just to clarify, is it "safe" to submit again?

We did a soft / silent relaunch of the form before announcing it here. I'd like to check the results first before I give the all clear. I'll get that confirmed tomorrow morning.

Thanks,


Dan

cool idea !!

dgackey

I have been told the form is working and it is all clear to resubmit using the form if you tried on Friday. Sorry for the false start.

Braydon_SFX

@dgackey -- Awesome. Submitted!

SirioGarcia

@dgackey good information!

dgackey

Got both of your submissions, thanks!

Braydon_SFX

Glad it got through. Thanks for the clarification, @dgackey!

I must say after mentioning this as something that should happen...

Wooooooooooohoooooooooooooooo!

>-

To actually see it happen - it's a good feeling - thanks @dgackey and the GS team.

Great stuff.

GLA

how can i submit a game to the Featured Games Gallery? i sent an email to gamesalad, and i dont know what to do next? i should receive something?

DeepBayGames

Visibility is clearly one of the biggest challenges facing developers. This is a very positive addition to the GS website!

dgackey

@DeepBayGames thanks, it was long overdue and we are working on adding more games in the next few weeks.

@GLA, we haven't put up new ones yet and we can't necessarily put up every game that is submitted but we will look at each and every submission, I promise!

Thanks everyone who submitted and keep 'em coming!

Great to see something like this.

Really cool effort. It just highlights the sheer flexibility and power of GS.
Glad to see Spacetower and all the cool GS stuff up there.

thanks @dgackey and the GS team.

Good work guys

I just noticed that more than half the games have gone from this? Do they need to have updated pages? I was looking for more to be added Cheers, M@

hit the '+' button

matarua

hit the '+' button

Um Ok so having a + button directly above the words "Interested in submitting your game for consideration? Need to update your page? Click here."

Made me think that, that was what the + was for - not seeing or showing more.

Just the change up from having them all there to being hidden threw me a bit.

The fact that there's not much up there at the moment too - why do you need to hide some?

That page should be brim full - then filter with the filter tags.

Perhaps you could pass this along @jonmulcahy

I was once blond - but I have over 20 years experience designing UI and I missed that.

Doh! #blondmoment :-\"

jonmulcahy

Yea it should auto load more as you hit the bottom.

Braydon_SFX

Looking forward to seeing the first batch of new games put up!

i submitted "fly!penguin! a few days ago!
thanks gamesalad team!!

SingleSparq

Been a month since I submitted mine. Haven't seen any updates to it since announced.

Braydon_SFX

Looking forward to seeing the page updated with new games! Any idea when that will happen, @dgackey?

dgackey

Strictly speaking it's already happened, but y'all probably just didn't notice because we've only had time to add a pair so far

Sorry folks, it's just a bit more time-consuming to update than I'd realized, and end of year stuff is piling up.

Braydon_SFX

Awesome -- Do you have any idea when the next batch will be up?

Looking forward to seeing new games on the page!

dgackey

Some new games pushed live today. Have a few more in the pipe for later in the week as well. Enjoy!

One thing I'd like to ask of folks when you submit: please make a note of any URL's to awards your game has won, good reviews or interviews/stories about your game! We have an area on the template for these and want to make sure we feature your game in the best possible light, but a lot of folks are not including these.

Cheers,


Dan
