Progress Update - Early June

The biggest update yet is now live! Users can now upload their game files directly to the site, no need to upload to Google Drive or Dropbox any longer.

To add downloads to your game you can visit your Profile Page then click on Edit Downloads. Here you will be able to upload your game files for each of your supported platforms. Currently, you're only allowed to upload ZIP files up to 20MB.

If you've already got a link to your game on another site, worry not, those old links will still be there. You've also still got the option to use a link to direct roasters to another site to play your game.

PS: Sorry for the late progress update, adding user downloads took a long time to complete.

Updates coming soon:

• Site redesign - looking to clean up and making the layout more attractive
• Top charts - clean up and more powerful aggregation
• Forums - adding additional functionality to group, tag, sort forums
• Download tracking per day
• View tracking per day

Forum Sneak-Peek

Today I'd like to showcase the new General Discussion forum page. This page can be used for discussion of the website such as feature requests or bug reports, introductions of users or games, or anything else.



Soon users will be able to create their own forum discussions. Look for this in the next few days!

Early February Update

Some small changes here in early February. Users that don't have a user profile icon set will now show a more pleasant user icon shown on the Leaderboards, Games, and Profile pages.

Searching has also been improved. You can now specify multiple query parameters such as a specific genre and platform. You can also now search by keyword.

New Settings Page

Points System Added!

The user points system is now live! You can earn points by

Roasts will now display your ranking next to your username and you can see how you stack up against other users on your profile page. More information about ranking and levels can be found on the About page: http://roastmygame.com/about

Now Available: Edit Posts

One of the most requested features is now live on the site!

You can now edit game posts by clicking the Edit Game button on your profile page.

Progress Update - Mid January

In the past week, the site has completely blown up! After a successful post on Reddit's /r/gamedev, traffic has soared.

One of my initial concerns was that users would not like the requirement of adding comments to other games before posting their own. This turned out not to be a problem. Currently there are 100 comments, making a average of ~2 comments per game. Some users event have up to 10 comments!

Changes:
- Added leaderboards (can be found here) to recognize well performing games and users. (Though there appears to be a bug with it right now).
- Increased the number of description lines on the home page to 2. This was a highly requested feature by users on the Reddit thread.
- Many visual changes, especially related to Safari, Firefox, and mobile browsers.

Upcoming Features:
- Public profiles should be finished by tomorrow. Users will be able to click on another user's profile to view their games, comments, and likes. Update: this is finished. You can now view any other user's public profile by clicking on their username anywhere on the site.
- User preferences, including ability to change passwords.

Progress Update - Early January

There's still lots of work to be done on Roast My Game. So far, users seem excited with the idea of the website.

Here are the next items I'd like to work roughly in order of importance.

• Require users to post feedback on 2 other games before adding their own game (thanks to /u/Va11ar for the idea). Update: this feature is completed. Users are now required to make atleast one comment on a game before adding their own game.
• Be able to browse all games on one page (thanks to /u/ahmadmanga for the idea). Update: this feature is completed and can be viewed on All Games Page
• Be able to upload game files directly to the site
• Be able to play Unity and HTML5 game on Roast My Game
• Public profile pages where other users can see your games, comments, likes.
• Be able to edit games and versions
• Nginx caching for unauthenticated users
