Mclaneinc Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Don't forget to do a full version as well.. Oh, my personal preference, the image I want to see first on a gamebase is an in game screen, title pages can be nice but I'm more keen to see what type of game it is. Maybe others should say what they like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atx4us Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 First, thanks for taking the time to compile the database! But, releasing the "lite" version kind of defeat the entire purpose of the DB collection doesn't it? So, please keep releasing the full version. Thanks!

Regarding the full version, I have contacted to atarimania admins for using atarimania data such as covers and other extras.About the screenshot display, I will change it in the next version. Thank you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starwindz Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 As you can see, I am trying to contact the atarimania admins in order to get an explicit permission for using atarimania extras in the gamepack. So I have sent messages to three atarimania admins seven day ago but no answer or reply have not been received yet. What I can do is just waiting the replies. Anyway, the full version of V1.03 is being developed as shown in attached screenshot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Looking very nice indeed......And thanks for doing the screen shots switch but if others prefer the title pages then tell Starwindz, I just find seeing the game in action looks better.

starwindz Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Greyfox has made the logo graphic for the game pack frontend. Please check out the attached development screenshot. As you can see, I have sent an e-mail to atarimania admins for using atatimania data almost 10 days ago but the response from atarimania was not still received. If the reply is not received until next week, I am planning to release v1.03 full version within next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyfox Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Loosk great fella, thanks for using it, but I see you've used it as a Jpg? I send a PNG file so it would carry the Transparency for overlaying on your front end, as the top of the graphics has a white border, I'll send it again for you without that as a JPG with the dark grey okay?

I only run the ST / Falcon side of Atarimania with couple of admins... But personally i think your project looks great and i hope everything goes well Cheers, Marko 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starwindz Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Preview: New feature in developmemt - Game Browser (It will be included in v1.03) Edited June 3, 2014 by starwindz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfollett Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 That game browser is a nice feature, but maybe add a feature to go to a specific letter in the alphabet instead of just a page number. Keep up the good work. Bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Oberhäuser Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Really love this frontend:) As for the browsing games: A random option would be cool as well. That way a user might find some interesting games he didn't even know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfollett Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Thanks for implementing the browse by alphabet, that was quick! Just a quick note on that feature... I can't tell from your demo but did you include the ability to (beside choosing A-Z) Choose numbers, either all together or separately. There are a fair number of games whose title start with a number not a letter. Thanks again, Bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
