Introducing Delicious-Fruit.com!

[Kryshtal]

I found a bug.
If you make a big spoiler section it won't show up correctly. It doesn't stretch the box as it would on a normal review.

And I really like the site, doing my best to help fill things up.

Thanks for the bug report Kryshtal! I've updated the code to properly expand the review after you reveal a spoiler if it needs it.

How does the update system work?

Especially for fangames that are incomplete but being worked on, it is really tough to edit the download link again and again, I guess.

Can the author request edit rights for the download link, or should a forum thread be linked then (which makes the author capable of indirectly editing the download link)?

[klazen108]

All the download links point back to the Fangame Wiki. If you've posted your game there, and you update it there, then delicious fruit will have the correct download link as well. I like to think of the site as an extension of the wiki, instead of a replacement.

A question: in review rules it says "When rating a game, we ask that you have cleared it first (or at least given it a fair attempt) before reviewing.", while lot of users are posting only ratings, with no words to back it up. So, is it allowed to rate without reviewing or is it not?

Well, we can ask things that the community may or may not adhere to. We ask that before you give a game any rating, text review, difficulty scale, etc., you should have played through the game to a certain extent, unless it is unbeatable/impossible. Does this mean that reviewers will actually follow this? Probably not.

Just use your best judgment. We strongly encourage that you beat the game (or at least play through a majority of it) before touching the rating/review button.

My fault, I misinterpreted that line. I don't know how that happened, but I mistook the "clearing" as "justifying your rating (in the form of review)" while it was simply "to finish the game", wasn't it. Anyway, what I wanted to know was whether you can rate a game without writing a review for it.

Yes, you are correct. You don't have to finish a game to review it, but it helps your review hold some merit to it

[klazen108]

Yeah, you don't have to write a text review to go along with a rating if you don't want to; every part of the rating system is independent. You can add only tags, or review & tags with no ratings, or just difficulty & review with no rating, etc... You can add anything you'd like without feeling pressured to do the other sections. For instance, I like to go through and tag games that I know fit certain tags, but I don't rate them because I've only beaten like 5 fangames

I've noticed that all the comments in screenshots have disappeared, is this an intended thing, or a bug?

I've noticed that all the comments in screenshots have disappeared, is this an intended thing, or a bug?

This was actually intended. After some internal discussion and some complaints from users, we have removed this feature. Unfortunately, this feature was being abused by many members of the community as a way to attack a game, such as labeling a screenshot as "Oh yay, more AIDS" or "Great (not) background." This system was never intended to hurt a game's reputation, as we disallow any "attacking" on games for obvious reasons. This feature may be limited/brought back in the future. For now, however, the system will now be screenshot-only with no text present.

A screenshot-related question, actually
Why do they show up in a random order?

They appear in the order that they were submitted/accepted. Someone who submits a boss screenshot before anyone else will see that screenshot appear first, even if someone submits a title card screenshot a day later.

[128-Up]

I've definitely had screenshots show up in different orders before...

[tehjman1993]

Really? I'd have to talk to Klazen about that. Could it possibly be because you checked back at prior screenshots when more were added? When Klazen is around I'll inquire about it. Thanks, 128!
