No, I don't care about the latest productions.

Broken links can be autodetected, to a certain degree. And I strongly recommend implementing some kind of autocheck.
That's true, but you still need some manual fallback to fix the weird cases. While less common these days, there are still sites that do a redirect+200 or display a filler page without returning the correct HTTP status.

True, but there are other ways of checking. You can check for size, for example. I use that a lot on IndieGameMusic.com because links die all the time. Often results in a error page - but still a page - e.g. the link isn't technically dead. But very small filesizes obviously means it isn't linking to the music anymore.

QuoteGreat job! While I liked the idea, I was a bit skeptical about it; but after looking at the prototype I love it. I think this will provide real value for the community.Not sure if anyone has suggested something similar in the thread, but one thing I miss is a way to report broken links or any other problem with a particular card.


Thanks! I will probably not make a "broken link" report button, because it will clutter the interface. People can contact me in case of problem. And as Mr.Lou said, I can implement an auto-check, it is quite easily to do.

It will be soon. But that's good to tell me about the missing prods, thanks! You can also PM me or send me a mail.


The Reset (in two weeks) will be the occasion to find the graphist, then the website will become "official".

Ι love the idea!


Who knows, maybe it'll make my life easier copying adding info to the wiki, since nobody seems to be willing to update it except (and not even then) creators themselves...


As far as layout goes, I think the guys over at https://sonarr.tv/ have nailed it (I mean the app itself, not the web site). The first page of the app is beautiful and very well presented, andcan be suited to most tastes.

mr_lou

So the kid is having a sleep-over at the school with the class today, which means the misses and I finally have some time to look into some retro gaming this evening!  :)

A site like this is very useful for such situations where you need to find a bunch of latest releases fast.


P.S.: Regarding the entry for 8-bit Memoirs, you can add the following two videos too, if you want:

One suggestion: Make the author-name clickable, linking to a page that shows all creations by that author.
From that page, one can click on to a website of that author.

Well... It is. But it links to the website of the author. I don't really want to have a second page with sub-content, and all. CPC-Power is here if you want a more thorough search.

Quote from: Targhan on 13:35, 03 June 18The live preview now has all the entries for 2017 and 2016. Not so long to do, and rather pleasant. I hope some of you can check for productions he/she could have missed.



"Get The Cash" from 2016 is missing despite me adding a page about it on the CPCWiki.


I wasn't sure if you're also going to add any Mini games from the BASIC 10-Liners Competition, which has been holding an annual competition since 2015. CPC-POWER and CPC-RULEZ seem to have them.

* I also like to problem solve code in BASIC :)   * And type-in Type-Ins! :D

I will add Get The Cash, no problem. However, I won't add 10-liners and stuff like that. There is CPC-Power for that, CPC Scene is not made to be fully comprehensive.

I don't know if this has already been mentioned (I haven't read through the whole thread), but do you intend to create a CPC-Scene application for mobile phone devices?
I, personally, use this site (CPC-Wiki forum) for new game development and POUET for new demoscene productions. Having a notification on my mobile device of a new game/demo/whatever would be great (especially if I miss a thread here! ^_^)

Hi,


Sorry I didn't see this message. I actually didn't even had the thought of doing a CPC Scene mobile phone, but it's actually a great idea, since I'm an Android developer :) . I'll keep that in mind!


About CPC Scene, I am now needing a graphist. I had two leads, but neither are interested, and I don't want to have to whip people to work with them. Therefore, I'm looking for a web graphist. As you can see from the live preview, there is not much to do. The site is meant to be simple. I just need a logo, a few colors, some icons and that's it! Suggestions about the overall design are also welcome. So PM me if you're interested, with links of what you can do. I will not update/deploy CPC Scene before I have a real design.


Thanks!

Happy to give a hand with some graphics, as long as you're happy with a more cartoonist/modern look; as that's what I do. Links to examples are: alloverthehouse.net, nobmouse.net and inkproofcannon.com

Targhan

Thanks for your offer! I'll consider it.

Is this release website "up-to-date"?
It's just that I am a good few months behind everyone else and I would like some CPC gaming (seeing as the demoscene is quite dead at the moment)...
Or, should I just download the new releases from CPCPower or CPCRulez?

Targhan

Not updated for a few months, because the design is not ready yet. But I've found a designer, so maybe an update will be done soon, but I can not give any deadline! But don't be afraid, the project is still alive. I'll update this thread when it is ready. Thanks for your interest :)
