Help contribute playlist ideas to the Game Discovery Center π
MrDeKat replied to AstroBob's topic in Community Corner
Thanks, I didn't see the option of Game Discovery Center here. I think the orignal idea that it changes every time you enter is perfect. My request was not to replace it, it was to add other options with lists of the same type grouped together. As if it were filtered by keywords that each list had. Maybe it will be understood better with a picture: -
Help contribute playlist ideas to the Game Discovery Center π
MrDeKat replied to AstroBob's topic in Community Corner
I've been testing the Game Discovery Center and I found it really interesting. Great job. I have some some functionality suggestions. Maybe they can't be implemented or are not the path you are looking for, but I leave them here in case anyone be interesting: It would be interesting to create different categories for the lists: "best of", "worst of", "discover games", "because you liked", "explore games", "event lists"... Now it's a bit chaotic and interesting lists like "Spooky games for October" can go unnoticed. For event lists, it could be interesting show games that you don't have (as happens with similar games or ports). Some games that you may not know existed would be discovered. Incorporate a percentage of games played or completed from each list, would encourage to try more games from the list. Like some kind of achievement. If it were related to completed achievements, could be win medals on your profile (something like Retroachievement events). It would be fantastic to see lists of RA events (like Achievement of the Week) and the latest games that incorporate achievements. I imagine that there isn't a way to automate this information, but I mention it in case there will be luck. Show a logo for the event lists would give a fantastic aspect. Give the option to add the Game Discovery Center as one of the platforms or categories that appear when you open BigBox. As a user who uses Launchbox more than BigBox, it would be great to have Game Discovery Center in Launchbox. I hope you have it in your plans. -
It happens to me with all Arcade games. These are the data obtained in the importance of Mame, with the option to update the metadata activated. It's from 5 days ago: "Download Metadata and Media Wizard" and the first option (Download and replace metadata): This is the result, with all games with 01/01/19xx as released date: Now if I search the game from edit option (this case is "Anti-Aircraft"), it shows the complete released date:

Hi!! In Beta 4, when the metadata is downloades with "Download Metadata and Media Wizard", the release date is updated with only the year (01/01/19xx). However, if you update the metadata with the Edit option of each game, the release date is updated with day, month and year.

Hi!! When a game data is loaded, Launchbox only loads one of the developers and publishers, although there are several in the database. I detected this with Arcade platform. Two examples: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/36858-indy-800 https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/34481-breakout I think this happened one or two years ago, in case it helps.

Artstyle Appreciation: Whatβs Your Top Pick β
MrDeKat replied to AstroBob's topic in Community Corner
I love the large number of visual styles in the world of video games. From the characteristic graphics of 8-bit computers like Spectrum or C64, to the very different aesthetics of some indies, like Machinarium, Four Last Things or Return of the Obra Dinn. I love the pixel art. The classic games like Dynamite Headdy, Metal Slug or Symphony of the Night, and the more current visual gems, like Owlboy, Rain World, Inmost or that masterpiece called Blasphemous. However, there are two games that captivated me when I saw them first images: "Ori and the Blind Forest" and "Ori and the Will of the Wisps". -

Sorry. I should have specified it better. I was referring to the button that appears at the top of the web with the games available on Steam that says "View Original Steam Assets". That button shows the "official" cover, banner, and logo from Steam, but I don't know if it's loaded like the rest of the images. Maybe it's configured differently and that information cannot be obtained. I hadn't thought about the option you mention. It's a good alternative. In any case, searching for a few games on the website is not a problem. The hard work is already done by the great plugin

Incredible work. It works perfectly. This plugin is wonderful and I wouldn't know how to live without it. I have two suggestions: -I don't know if there would be any option to show the images of the Steam button or a link that links to the page if this button existed. -In my case, I have several games whose titles are not in English. I don't know if there is an option to write a title manually to perform the search.

I created these Windows 2.5D box fronts for the differents storefronts, each one with its own logo and colors for the plastic boxes. The 2D covers are obtained from steamgriddb (I love the clean box art), giving priority to the official Steam boxes. I also added the templates from each store. If you are interested, I can update with more games as I make them. You can make your requests for others stores or games too. In the case of requests for games, also indicate the store to simplify the work π List of Games for STEAM (1234 Games) List of Games for GOG (111 Games) List of Games for EPIC GAMES (164 Games) List of Games for AMAZON GAMES (104 Games) List of Games for EA (15 Games) List of Games for UBISOFT (3 Games) List of Games for BATTLE.NET (3 Games) List of Games for ITCH.IO (94 Games) New Games for LEGACTY GAMES (7 Games) New Games for GAMES FOR WINDOWS LIFE (9 Games) New Games for GAMEJOLT (13 Games) New Games for GAMERSGATE (3 Games) New Games for DIRECT2DRIVE (3 Games)- 11 comments
