Yep, I'm still still here. I found a way to make some much-needed improvements to the Mac games. Should be ready early next week. The Mac games will now be as good as the Windows ones, which was something that was bothering me.


G'bye to EDI's journal. To be honest, our journals are getting pretty sad. They're dang-near impossible to read because of all of the 500 errors.

Here's a fix for the developer journals that could be implemented quickly. . .

1. Give all of the journal owners a way to export their journal content in an XML format that can be imported by blog software (i.e. blogger)

2. Give all gdnet+ members a field in the control panel to put a link to their own RSS feeds, be it from blogger or from a feed on their personal site.

3. Convert the Journals page to a blog aggregator like fullasagoog.com

There. All gdnet+ members could easily move their content to a more reliable back-end (blogger, movable type, etc). They then link 'em back to gamedev. And gamedev displays the journals in a better format.

That also gives people with existing journals a way to list 'em on gamedev, so they'll be more likely to get gdnet+ subscriptions just for the extra exposure.

Everybody wins.
