Introducing Delicious-Fruit.com!

[Derf]

Great work! Both solid improvements to the site :~)

[infern0man1]

dunno if it's happening to anyone else, but the genre tags and the maker links lead to nothing.

[just_another_Guy]

yeah, clicking the creator's name leads nowhere for some reason

Sorry, I had to make some modifications to the site to support account closure, and due to the database structure change the advanced search isn't working. The tags & creator names lead to an advanced search, so those will be gone until I can refactor the search query. Sorry! I'll post here when I've got a fix.

EDIT: Ok I think I got it, thanks for the report!

Hello Del-Fruiters!

I want to remind everyone that using the review section to attack the game in a harsh manner, or attacking the game creator(s) directly, is immediate grounds for removal of your review. There has been a large group of players that have decided to use delicious-fruit as a way to bash a specific game and its creator(s), all while playing the victim "woe is me" card. We will not tolerate any individual attacking another, let alone a group.

Although I have already removed 2 reviews and warned the users, I will state it here for future reference:

This is your one and only warning.

We will IP ban you from the site, and we will follow up on this IP for future accounts, events, etc.

I hate making these announcements, and you should hate seeing them. For those that have no idea what's going on, you're obviously not the issue! If you think this is directly addressing your behavior, then this announcement was hand-crafted just for you. Grow up.

Thanks,
TJ&Klazen

There's a bug when someone tagged the game "impossible" and his review got removed, the tag is still on the game (Zorgo Needle) game proved to be possible.

[klazen108]

I just checked Zorgo Needle and I don't see an impossible tag, can you screenshot it for me?

The Tag is gone, but if you filter games by tag "Impossible" you'll see Zorgo Needle.

[klazen108]

Aha I see, I understand why that's happening. Thanks for the report, I'll take care of this as soon as I can.

It's that time of month ... for the next Wannabe of the Month!

October's featured streamer is Pandy49!

Pandy may be one of the newer members of the Wannabes, but he has already left his mark on the community! Beginning in early 2014 and ever-seeking a challenge, Pandy started his own Weekly Fangame Challenge (WFC) that you may have heard of! Pandy also was featured in the Fangame Marathon with his well-received "I wanna be a Cute Duck" run! Overall, Pandy looks for improvement and challenges in the community, so be sure to stop on by when he's live!

You can give him some love at www.twitch.tv/pandy49 , or you can visit del-fruit for more links!

Congratulations to Pandy, and we look forward to more positive reception from the community!

-TJ&Klazen

(P.S. Sunbla's Wannabe of the Month feature was a success, and brought in over 200 unique views to his channel!)

Any chance we can make it so the author can indicate the current version of their game which would display on the page and then add a page like https://www.delicious-fruit.com/ratings/game_version.php?id=15472 which would return just the current version number? This would let us check the game's current version whenever the player launches the game so we can tell them if they need to update or not.

It would probably just be easier to make your own download server from Dropbox or something. The current version thing sounds nice, but it a lot of work for Klazen to manage it all for any of it to be accurate. Unless Klazen decides to turn DelFruit into a site for uploading and downloading fangames too, I think this feature is better left out.

[Derf]

I agree with WetWookie and disagree with Starz0r that it should be left out; that said there's merit in the idea of a curator functionality. I also don't think that del-fruit needs to log all versions of the game, just the most recent.

I imagine the process would go something like this:
- A reviewer requests access to a curator profile type.
- They are then verified through means decided by Klazen.
- They can then edit the entries of games they are the creator (or main collaborator) of (edit abilities should definitely been contained to just one profile per game to avoid collaborator bickering/miscommunication).
- The options at their disposable would be the following: being able to set and change download links, being able to upload screenshots without need for verification, being able to specify version type and, even though they're not currently implemented, being able to add a written bio. (The functionality of adding bios to your own games is something I think the site needs since self-review isn't necessarily an issue but looks messy and the creator review can get lost underneath the other reviews - this would remedy that ad also ensure creators self-review their own games were tampering with its score).

I think it's an idea worth considering. I suppose if you added versions you'd also have to add a function to select which version you'd played when reviewing.
