UPD: Tired of answering the same questions, I decided to take them to the blog hat:
Mobile application No and not planned. All free hands are busy with the site. There is good news – the site can be “added to the desktop” as a caviar that will launch a browser without an interface of a browser. That is, it will look and work as close as possible to the mobile application. Alas, so far without notifications, but their hands will ever reach them someday.
Import from Steam/Gog/egs/any other stroke, too, is not even in plans: to connect our Games Base with the Steam Games – Titanic labor -costs task that we can’t solve for now. Here, alas, there is no good news.
If you were at a gathering, you have already seen our epic trailer, briefly representing everything that we did as part of a new large update. In this blog, I will sign everything in detail and start with the background.
"KinoPoisk for games"
For 20 years, the site was the place where we published articles, videos, news, that is,, our Materials. At the same time, the forum was at first at first, and then blogs, as a place for yours activity. All this can be described in one word as "site about content". As a result, the base of games was created for the tasks of content, which currently has 20 thousand items.
In thought about how to make a site with something larger than the “site about content”, we grabbed the idea that we have this “base of games”, but the user’s interaction tools with it is the minimum. And began to promote and throw “what if if?".
And from this "what if?»Offer that I, without hesitation, I call the" new concept of the Stopgame site ". Now we are not a “site about content”, we are “a site about games, with thematic content”. Games were put at the forefront. And here is what I mean when I talk about it:
Gather them all!
Your "chosen" games burned in the flames of redesign and from the ash have reversed in your "Library of Games". Each game added to the library has its own, sufficiently speaking, status. "Want!"," I play "," passed "and" abandoned ". All games added to the favorites before this updates are now in the status of "I want!". I recommend sitting to disassemble your game library immediately after reading this blog.
Thus, now on the site you can not only conveniently monitor new materials on the games you are interested in, but also keep into account what games you have passed, and which you still have to touch (it is especially useful in the moments of the attacks “There are so many games that would play in which you should play?").
You can add a game to the library by clicking on a “plus” on the game card, regardless of where it will meet you on the site. In the same card, you can put the rating of the game, which simplifies the filling of your library at times.
Your game library is visible to everyone. Thus, we hope to reduce the questions “What are you playing?"And" Waiting for the game X?»On the ama and in the personalities of our authors, if not to zero, then at least to a minimum. Well, you can now throw a link to your profile to these questions, or at least use it for reference.
By the way about frequent matters to the authors: to the question “What are three favorite games” there is also an answer – the “My Top” section in the user profile. And since the task was to “overfulfill the plan”, the game in the top is not placed three, but four. A good way to show what games in your opinion are really worthy of attention.
I have an opinion, you will challenge hell
I am absolutely sure that many came to mind the idea “I would write something about this game on Stopgame, but I won’t have enough for a big and high-quality blog”. Now speaking about the game has become much easier!
Meet, these are reviews. Yes, as in Steam and Kinopoisk. We have already written a few so that the section is not felt empty, but then the thing is for you! Unlike blogs, reviews can consist of both one word and thousands. And in special fields, you can briefly emphasize the pros and cons of the viewed game.
We would like this to eventually turn into a competition for the most accurate and short joke about the game, as in the film -farm letterboxd, but what the result will be the contents in this section – to solve exclusively to our audience, that is, including you.
It is convenient to search
The first in the updated section "Games" will meet you "hat", containing the top three recently released games according to Stopgame users. There is a feeling that some game is missing there? Put her your rating and increase her chances of getting into this top.
Below, under the heading “AAA Waiting” you are waiting for the most anticipated games with the release in the next month. Again, according to users. You know a good game, but you don’t see on the list? Add it to your library! More "Zhdunov" – closer a game to get into this list.
Next, you will find the section “In the spotlight” – these are the most relevant games that we most often wrote for this month. Logic is simple: more news – more relevant game.
In the screenshot you can see that I am already passing the new God of War. Yes, there will be a review (review too, but not from me)
I will leave the rest of the “Games” page for independent study, and I myself will tell you about the following innovation that simplifies acquaintance with our Games base.
Release calendar
While competitors draw calendars for every month with their hands and release videos that lose relevance on the next day, along with the news about the next transfer, we decided to go the other way and made a calendar that we will try to keep in the current state.
In the upper right corner of the calendar, you can find the “expected” button, when you press the calendar, only those games that Stopgame users are really waiting for. The minimum number of additions to the library for getting into this section will be prepared with time based on user activity.
Follow me
On the pages of users appeared a subscription button and a tab with the corresponding name.
Saw-visits? Ilya has already 13 blog https://chillireelscasino.uk/mobile-app/ mowers! (Actually much more: part forgot to calculate)
This is a reincarnation of subscriptions to personal blogs, but in another wrap. Now the subscription to a particular user will notify you of new posts not only in the personal blog of the user, but also in any section of the blogs in which he will decide to publish. The authors no longer need to choose, publish in the public section and give users to understand the subject of the blog, or in the personal and send notification to all subscribers.
I do not want to make promises, but, with a high probability, in the future, the same subscriptions will send notifications about new published reviews and another, not yet advertised one, things.
And on the “Subscriptions” tab, you can see how many people are signed for you, as well as manage their subscriptions.
What else has changed
On the pages of the games, a truck with a redesign turned over also turned over. We tried to make them more colorful and informative, without losing the old structure and filling.
Games in the database at the moment are at least 20 thousand and go through each, fix the flaws, replace the covers and add new information – an excessive task for us. Therefore, we need your help. To do this, on the page of the game there were the buttons "Offer the cover" and "Offer correction". But I ask you not to abuse them – we have much less people who fill the base than initiative users. I would not want to be buried under the rubble of user amendments.
As for large and noticeable updates – that’s all. Well, there are so many small changes, improvements and functionality for two months of development that I will just get tired of listing them.
That’s all. Fill out the library of games, write reviews, subscribe to interesting authors. See you on the pages of the site Stopgame.ru.
The best comments
In general, boys, this is my last chief editorial curtsy. It was this renewal that we made the last thing before my departure. I am glad that the reaction is positive and glad that the guys are going according to plan!
I am sure that in the end it will be possible to do it legendary! 🙂
Everything will be, but not immediately
They would still give the opportunity to add a game that is not in your database = (
This is a very necessary thing, there are no many games. It would also be perfect if you could mark the platform, because there are games that, under the same name, came out on different platforms and looked different. For example, Harry Potter is the first or murals. And in general, all old console games are not enough on the list.
I understand that everything has its time, the undertaking is very cool and important)
Thank you, great news =)
-What is the best site of Runet?
Now the subscription to a particular user will notify you of new posts not only in the personal blog of the user, but also in any section of the blogs in which he will decide to publish.
It’s cool, you don’t have to look for a subscription button.
But what I do not like:
Return the ratings in the "My Blogs" section. They are needed there.
I don’t like that my blogs are the first to display all blogs: both published and drafts. It was confused by it. If I need drafts, I will click on the “drafts” button, why do I need everything.
A very cool idea! You can also attach a small list of people with the most similar assessments as in KinoPoisk to quickly find people with the same tastes.
And more important – we need a page with all grades! I have not all games in the “chosen”, but during this time I assessed the many games, and I would like to put them in “Passed”. Therefore, I really ask you to make a page where you can see all your grades 🙂 or if it already exists, then indicate the path to it.
He moved his library of games from Howlongtobeat and I had a couple of questions-tunes:
In the list of "Games", most of the names – DLS. You will somehow take them separately? If so, then what to do with them at all? Why add them to yourself or somehow evaluate, if it is an objective part of the game?
In general, if we talk about the problem of DLS pores on the site, you can write an essay about this: who needs Ryse: Son of Rome-Colosseum Pack on Stopheim?; Why are there any pages of updates GTA Online (Valentine’s Day Massacre, Heists, Beach Bum Pack and why then they scored and did not add subsequent updates by The Contract, etc?; There was not a single one on the House Flipper – there is not a single one on the site; Why is it Rocket League? And you can continue endlessly
Why is the first Life Is Strange divided into a bunch of epizodes, if this has long been not relevant? The same RAWG-Ag/HowLongTobeat/Backloggd is one name from the start
Goty/Definitive publications will continue to be considered different games? If so, then add the Bloodrayne 1 and 2 publication Terminal Cut. Batman Arkham City Goty does not have, although other games of the series have it. There are just Crashday, but there is no Redline Edition
WARCRAFT 3 and WARCRAFT III are not interchangeable: at the first request, it issues all three games, according to the second, forgets about the existence of The Frozen Throne
Why are the games of the type of Prototype Biohazard Bundle and Borderlands Legendary Collection as the games are indicated (in the case of the border there is also a separate page for Handsome Collection)? Saints Row Gat Out of Hell is not separately absent-for some reason it is recorded in a combo with a remaster of the fourth part
If you make the next “KinoPoisk for Games”, shouldn’t you give a filling out the base to users to fill out the base? You will not take out the updating of the base with your working composition, no matter how try. From my list of games on the site there were no far from 17 pieces of far from crammal items: Warpips, Going Under, 80’s Overdrive-not so invisible to humanity, but there are no on the site. Okay, visual novels-they come out more often than we blink, so no one will lose anything from the absence of Shan Gui, Lost Girl’s [Diary], Winter Novel and other free-backed crafts from Steam, but you have Alto’s Adventure; There is Framed, but there is no Framed 2; There are Pixel Puzzles Birds and Undeadz, but there is no endless number of other games from the series; The same thing with Picross: there is S7, but there are no previous six S-o-ohs, but about E-parts and games from Gambo I do not even stutter. Some madman added five parts 12 Labours of Hercules to the site, but there are 13 of them. This can be continued endlessly, but I already set up a lot of indecent
Perhaps it looks like a claim, but I did not mean anything like that. I am glad that the site prompts users to activity with this method, and not just blogs and comments, but so far all this is somehow damp or something
The only thing that I would still like to add is the ability to leaf through a personal top and add more slots for it. 4 as for me – too little for the entire gaming industry, especially for fans of diverse genres. It is very difficult to choose between the conventional DMC, Hollow Knight, The Binding of Isaac and, for example, Minecraft. All these are chic games of different genres and choosing something better among them-sounds like a task from the category of impossible. It would still be possible to expand to 10-20 points of this list
In my opinion, this is quite "passed". Like "I am in the know about all the content in the game".
NRAICA! Beautiful, functional, convenient. Only now the whole library will have to be assembled again, because all the games that I had previously set assessments, but did not add to the favorites, disappeared, and I had such a majority. But now there is a convenient sorting, so I’m even in joy.
And yes, I join the speaker with a few comments above about the “Offer Game” button-in my opinion, it would be a great tool for replenishing the game base.
And from myself I can still offer a binding of blogs to specific games. So that when you write a blog, you can indicate the game in question, and on the game page you can make a tab with blogs on it. From there, the notifications will also be pulled up, so in general beauty. But this is so, only a cherry on the cake 🙂
Well, this is really a cool update, if it was worth starting to be redesigned, then at least for something like that) my respect.
Although I still hope that, in addition to the “site about content” or “Site about games with thematic content”, SG will be a site about communication. Perhaps I’m just outdated, like the very idea of communication somewhere besides social.networks, discord, TG channels and other things, but still I loved the “smoking rooms”, although I believed that they were more for a narrow circle. And it would be cool, if it was on the site itself that some kind of expanded analogue of the same smoking room for a wide audience, because I want to communicate here without going to some third-party resources.
But these are all dreams, of course), as well as the dreams that someday it will be possible to change the user’s name to any unoccupied (͡ ° ͜ʖ °) *went to poke in the database of games *
Redizin is super! But, even after reading the comments, I was convinced that you entered a very complex path, because such an entertainment for visitors to the site still finish and finish. True, these are all questions about the future, and now I am delighted and I am waiting for updates in this part of the site, simultaneously correcting and adding new games to the now matured (both in terms of the functionality of the site, and from the point of view of me as a person) collection. Thank you very much, you are the best!
Yes, we have all the same questions and we also nervously grab the head from the realization of how many more work to do to finally put the base of the games in order. We are slowly trying to streamline, remove excess, add the right one, but there is still a lot of work.
And she is not big. Before my arrival, the summer of 2020 was a team engaged in YouTube and a team of textuals writing for the site. Site teams simply did not exist. And now you can’t call it numerous. I am involved in the work on the site, designer, chief editor and rinat. While many competitors are engaged in whole departments.
It seems to me that the status of “bought, but not played” somehow, in general, does not logically fit into the current row.
There is "I want!" – these are games that you have not played yet. It makes no difference whether you bought them or did not buy them, you physically have not launched this game once. That is, for a person who watches the difference between a bought and not purchased game in this category, there is no one and this is just a way of additional accounting “I bought it or not”, in case your memory is short and you don’t remember which of the 100,500 stores you bought it, but did not play it.
It will be later. Not all planned managed to realize the gathering.
It turns out Daur AG was a double agent and secretly collected information. Cunningly. =)
