Changelog

---

UPDATES - 12th May 2026:

• Several sections across the site have been made more compact, following direct feedback collected through the user polls. Keep the suggestions coming!

---

UPDATES - 11th May 2026:

• Feature requests are now public. Every game has a dedicated feature requests page where all players can read what others have suggested and vote on the ideas they want to see implemented.
• Bug reports get their own page too. Players can report issues for any game on a dedicated bug reports page, and game owners can reply directly to each report so everyone can follow the resolution.

---

UPDATES - 10th May 2026:

• Pick your own site color! Click the color picker in the upper right corner to choose your preferred accent color across the site.

---

UPDATES - 9th May 2026:

• Edit your reviews. Players can now edit reviews they previously posted, including switching the type of review between positive and negative. Any edited review goes back through the moderation queue before becoming public again.
• Reply to page comments. Game owners can now reply directly to public comments left on their game page.
• New 1-year subscription option with a 25% discount compared to monthly billing.

---

UPDATES - 8th May 2026:

• Feature request option instead of a negative vote. When a player is about to vote "No", they're now offered the option to send a fix or improvement request directly to the game owner instead of impacting their public reviews with a negative review. Game admins can review these on their dashboard once they've been moderated for safety and relevancy by our moderators.

---

UPDATES - 6th May 2026:

• Public polls. Users can answer quick poll questions and earn Gold points for doing so. The questions adapt based on each user's previous answers, so only relevant polls are shown.

---

UPDATES - 30th April 2026:

• New notifications system. A bell icon at the top of the site now lights up when something on your account needs your attention — game/article/review approvals, nudges you’ve been shown, and other system events. Click the bell to open the dropdown, or click a single notification for the full message.
• Public user profile pages have been completely redesigned. The page you land on when you click someone’s name in a comment, review or game listing has a fresh editorial look and a different structure depending on who the member is:
  • Game owners get a developer-style profile centred on their game — a featured game block with banner, status, vote ratio, rank and quick links to open or vote, plus an “also by” list of any other games they own.
  • Regular members get a contributor card with their member stats and a unified activity feed of their recent reviews and comments, plus a grid of the games they engage with.
• Vote-health warning for game owners. If one of your games hasn’t received any votes in the past 4 days, your own profile page will show a warning prompting you to check that the voting script is still installed correctly. Only you and admins can see it — visitors don’t. Catching a broken voting script early can be the difference between a stagnant rank and a recovering one.
• The new profile pages are mobile-friendly and follow the same look as the redesigned articles section — cleaner lines, no rounded boxes, generous typography.

---

UPDATES - 23rd April 2026:

• “Remember me” on login now actually works. Tick the box when you sign in and you’ll stay logged in on your device — no need to re-enter your password every visit. The sign-in cookie is also hardened (HTTPS-only, HttpOnly, SameSite) for better account security.

---

UPDATES - 14th April 2026:

• Captcha migrated fully to Cloudflare Turnstile — Google reCAPTCHA has been removed from the site.

---

UPDATES - 13th April 2026:

• New RSS feeds for the news section — a global feed covering all games, plus a dedicated per-game feed pointing to each game's own articles.
• Registration tracking has been completely rebuilt. If you use our tracking codes on your site, please update them as soon as possible — the old snippets will no longer report correctly.
• Design refresh across the site — hope you enjoy the new look! Feedback is very welcome, please drop us a line via the contact page.
• Some features have been moved to the premium tier, including the rating card theme configurator.
• Improved automatic styling for articles — Tailwind is still fully supported, but default HTML now renders with much nicer built-in styles out of the box.
• Improved signup flow for a smoother registration experience.
• Lots of major and minor bugfixes all over the place — and still plenty more on the way.

---

UPDATES - 30th November 2025:

---

UPDATES - 14th April 2024:

• improvements to the article edit interface
• Some articles had issues savig, some fixes have been made regarding this, but its still possible some will experience issues with this. If so, just write us to let us know.

You can write just your game or article main ideas and the AI will formulate it into an article. The original content will still be available on the same page under a new 'more info' section. This was added because many of the articles users submit lack in fomatting and content, but do have valuable information.
