Closemy god what happened I went to class for less than an hour and came back and the front page was suddenly sexy as fuck.
It looks really good, I'd just move the screenshots to the left or right edge of the layout. They look kinda out of place in the middle.
I do not feel like reading 4 pages but will just like to say I kind of miss the "new games." Even without downloads, shouldn't it be better for people to have the existence of new projects laid out in front of them??
Magi, that's gonna be on the Games page when I rework it.
EDIT: To clarify more, I feel that games people can actually play right now are more important than playable games in the future. As I said, I am going to rework the main Games page and it will definitely show the latest games.

I'm guessing you didn't make it with Opera in mind, but...it looks really bad in Opera. Great in Firefox, terrible and spacey in Opera.

I am liking how this is turning out, especially the part where the newest 6 game uploads are shown. With how many updates we get on this site I really think it's important to maximize that number. To me it is the most important aspect of the site and on a busy week it's easy to miss a game upload entirely.
My thoughts: in the Game Reviews section a score should be included along with the reviews. Possibly listed to the right of the game title so it doesn't mess up the maker/author format going on in that section of the page.
Also, I do not like the fact that new screenshots are included in the Game Updates section. Since they tend to be uploaded frequently they're going to clutter up that section and the way they're displayed now really gives no useful information (especially when you see something like TitleScreen.PNG).

post=128063Yeah, it's much better than before.
Yeah, it looks really terrific right now.
There is a lot of deadspace in the lists there, but I have no ideas what to do about it (if anything at all).
As to the screenshots, once we get a Screenshot Repository we could probably do away with them in the updates section imo. Or have another list next to the Game Updates for New Screens.

This last revision is pretty boss, WIP. Everyone seems to approve, and it looks like it fits your aesthetic. Here's a couple of nitpicks for you:
Add a bit of padding between the Featured Game text and The Latest column.
I like that Game Updates shows so many, but I wonder how much you'd need to squeeze out to allow the name of the game the update applies to to show, or at least the author (by Whomever) since people's names are generally shorter than game names.
For Magi's concern, I think it would be fair to have a new game project be shown in the Game Updates list upon it being accepted onto the site. For example, when Magi accepts a new submission without a download, a new Game Update entry will be generated that says, "New Project! - Game Name" that links to the game's homepage.
It would also be amazing (feasibility of something like this is beyond me) to have buttons for every single section on the front page that allows users to simply scroll to the "next page" of content within that section. Not even scroll, technically, but re-populate the area with content previous to current content. Featured games would merely show featured games from previous months, Latest Games, Site Updates, Game Updates, Reviews, and Tutorials are pretty self-explanatory, Our Games could generate four new random screenshots without having to refresh the page. That will really make the front page more "portal-like" and allow users to dive right in to unlimited content from the start.
Keep it up, looks awesome!

What is this tomfoolery, kentona? I would never recommend Sonic RPG....
Also I greatly approve of this new format.

Yeah, you'd recommend RaZor instead! :D
Also, I was surprised when I saw the front page just now. It's pretty cool! Though, I don't suppose there'd be any way to show the project name in the updates section would there?

Wow, WIP! I visit later in the day and am treated to a pleasant surprise. This looks really good! I like everything about it.
I agree with SFL about the scrolling- I have no idea how hard that would be for you, but it'd be a really nice feature in case a game people were excited about got pushed off by a glut of new ones.
I'd still like the topbar links to take you to pages that weren't just lists (featuring some of the frontpage things like feature articles/games et cetera but in more depth), but that is because I am a whiner. The frontpage itself is looking great, though!
