Update 1.16 is live! admin · posted · edited

This updates focus on vastly increasing the number of games available in the database by extracting basic information for various games from public websites (mostly wikipedia and steam).

These games will have a warning on their pages meaning that they need to be reviewed by a staff member, since some of its information might not conform to our standards.

We also changed the home page a bit, added markdown formatting in the boards, improved gamelist filtering, improved the user registration flow and, as always, fixed some bugs.

Last but not least, we added an easy way to generate these patch notes, which was something I was forgetting to do with the previous releases. Tee-hee :P
