Speaking of latest game development…I noticed that there wasn’t a news update at BioWare on the development of NeverWinter Nights for Linux…they usually have been good at keeping us informed every week (every Friday). I wonder if this is a sign that they are preparing for some big news update (hopefully a beta or even better a full release) or if it just means their web maintainer is slacking off as well….

into one web page.

That way the ‘happypenguin’ (similar to freshmeat) side of Linuxgames and Happypenguin can announce the games and have the Linux game DB. Then the Linuxgames part can have the forums and the news.

I guess then you have control conflicts, but these two web pages have a lot of overlap and I bet a lot of the people that look at each page look at both pages. It would also be a way to reduce the stagnation of each site.

Something to think about anyway — if both sides haven’t already thought about it.

Also, if you did combine it all, you could have a Linux Game Developer section where you have news about development such as new libraries and under the forums you could have the development forums.

Maybe you could also have a Super PET game section?

Though I agree that one-line-summary-per-game would improve things.

Thank you thank you thank you

By not pushing articles with real discussion into the archive so quickly and combining the low-discussion announcements, this will really help linuxgames become a better site and differentiate itself from happypenguin.

any chance of a one line summary of each game after the update info?

Why stop in summarizing the news as this?

It sounds like a sight re-design needs to commence.

Why comment in only one area when you can offer the same as before, yet more compactly proposed? For example, this forum *could* look like the following…

Atleast have a one-liner description/genre… saves having to click all the links to games we don’t know about just to find out what they are.
