Hey folks!

I realize how frustrating this is going to sound, pushing the judging start time back again. I've had a number of people approach me with concerns about game browsing, and I want to be sure I give that enough attention as well. My apologies especially to those of you in the EU/UK that have been waiting around all morning for something to happen. It wasn't until last night before bed I first mentioned I was running behind. Frankly, I was expecting to get much more done on Thursday.

I shouldn't need too much more time, but I have some appointments to keep today (Dentist), tomorrow (Family), and a couple pickups I'm waiting to arrange.

So to be a bit more specific, I'm shooting to kick this off around 9 PM ET on Sunday April 30th (i.e. when the Compo would have ended had LD been this weekend). If you're in the EU/UK, that probably means you should just sleep and ignore it until Monday.

Tune in Sunday night (or Monday morning) for the Judging kickoff.

What's left

It's not a long list. I just need a few good blocks of time to finish them up. Many of these are dependent/lead in to the next thing.

• ~~Finish my uploaded asset resizer/cropper~~
  • ~~Technically we were never supposed to use the /raw/ images, /content instead, but hey~~
• ~~Fix the look of games when browsing~~
  • ~~Cover art, etc.~~
• Add browsing by types on /games (~~Compo+Jam, Compo, Jam~~, by Coolness, etc).
  • Mostly done, just need to add a menu and ~~virtual URLs~~ for the filtering
• Calculate Coolness
  • New Algorithm: for all team members, sum total votes for other games, and total :heart:'s on feedback left for other games. How much feedback vs ratings will be weighted we'll figure out as you judge games. So please, when you see good feedback, :heart: it okay?
• Add remaining fields to Submission
  • ~~Cover art and Opt opts being the most important~~
• Clean up game pages
  • Screenshots/video/etc at top, like we used to do. No embeds this time, but the layout will be ready for them
• ~~Add ratings~~

Sunday Edit

Okay! Enough stuff is working that you can start voting. I need a couple hours with an awake brain to finish the coolness sorting. For the time being, I'm linking to Feedback Friends at the top of the /games views.
