For the past few weeks now, I've been working on "RMN v2". It's not a complete rewrite of the current site, but I'd say that when finished, over 70% of the code will be redone.

The new site will have some features people have been asking about: resources, game subscriptions, and so forth. I'll list some of them below.

  • New notification system. Whenever something needs your attention on the site, you will be notified. Examples include comments on your game/screenshot/whatever, game updates, and so forth.
  • Game subscriptions. Whenever a game is updated, you will be notified on-site.
  • Resources. The most requested feature since the site launched. You'll be able to submit resources and view their status on the submission panel like any other submission.
  • Search. Search the forums and any other site content.

Those are the main laundry list items. There are tweaks all around, including an improved layout and forum integration.

Here's what I've been working on today. It's the new user view page.

Slightly outdated view of the Add Download form. All the forms to manage your game pop up in a special frame.

Blog page for games. This replaces the crappy "Game Log" stuff on the current site. It offers a more standard interface and is far easier to view.
oooo Blog.


EDIT:
Where's the comments? Can we still comment on everything? (Like reviews, screenshots and logs?)

Yes, but I haven't added the template stuff in for them.
Just checked out the screens WIP and it is looking good. The Blog system that you've added looks good as well.
Excellent job. Can't wait for the updated RMN! ;D

Looks promising, hope to see this site grow to be one of the major sites on the net... Rpgmaker sites that is. ;D
And where did you get the idea to do that WIP? ::)

Do what? Fix the site up? Some of these things I wanted to have in the original version, but didn't have time to do. Others are requests that have been made since the site's launch.
Just out of curiosity, is there an estimated release date for "RMN v2"?

January 4th.
I'm also curious about something...
You said the blogs would replace logs, right? So does that mean all the logs we've already written will be consolidated into the blog, or what? Either way, the blogs are an awesome idea, but I just want to know.

Yes. They're pretty much the same thing, but they just look a lot better now. You won't be losing any data.
Are we getting a facebook-style mini feed? I had a go at that with IGP and it was pretty straightforward. If I wrote it again I would do it differently though.

i.e.

Person X has commented on YourGame Y

Or about games you are watching

Person A uploaded screens for GameYouAreWatching B

First working version of the resource section. It's pretty barebones at the moment, but that should change tonight.
Looking sweet WIP. It's starting to look like all those common glossy Web 2.0 sites which I love. Looking forward to it's release.
Allow users to tag resources. That'll put it above every other resource section which just has names and numbers meaning you have to trawl through. That does my head in that.
