Kriven Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 At the moment series are handled pretty typically, by being considered their own category... But I'd like to see them more fully featured, if it's possible. By this I mean, I'd like a "Series Browser" view for at least Big Box Mode. Instead of browsing by platform, users can browse by game Series (with an option at the bottom for Unaffiliated games). In this view, series should have their own descriptions and box art (an all-encompassing user-determined poster image) and fanart. The fanart could be set to appear mixed in with a games' specific fanart, although that should also be a toggleable option (for instance, if I scroll to Super Mario Land, my Super Mario franchise art may or may not be among the Super Mario Land rotation at my discretion as a user. The Franchise should probably draw on all fanart from the games within its series). It might also be ideal to allow for multiple series to be associated with a single game, for instances of crossover. I'd also like some limited metadata applications for additional apps and game manuals. Cover art at the very least, a description at the next level. Edit: Oh, I keep forgetting. It would be nice if the "Fanart" and screenshots could be better fit when they're used as the background. Right now a lot of them end up being too large for LaunchBox, and the image gets cropped in strange places. It would be nice to add a "Letterboxed" option that will scale the image only as far as its largest side to avoid unwanted cropping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hi @Kriven, great ideas. All added to my list. Most of them unfortunately are a ways out, but we'll head that direction eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
