Updates: What are we working on?

Posted by Jim {Power Gamer} | 30-Sep-11 | 28 comments

Enough of the updates with just added games! Let’s talk about some of the things we’re working on.

Played It

Play more than one game in a day?
We’ve updated the “Played It” feature so for every 2 Gamer levels you go up, you can say you played another game. So if you’re at Gamer level 5, you can say you played 3 games each day. This feature has the ability to be more detailed (saying who you played with, who won, etc.), but we’re keeping it simple for now.

Explorer hourglass

The Hourglass
We’re testing a quest that gives Explorer xp or Reporter xp if you’ve been on a game or news page for a certain amount of time. So… if you see an hourglass pop up in the lower right part of your browser window, click on it, and you’ll be rewarded. Note: What’s being tested is the frequency that the hourglass shows up, how much of a time delay there is, and how much of a reward is given.

Color avatars

Color Avatars
Soon (mid October) you will be able to spend BG gold on color avatars! An added bonus is each one comes with 5 border colors to choose from; blue, red, orange, yellow and green. If you get tired of the border color, you can easily change it at any time.

Profile Themes
Want to spruce up your profile page by swapping out the background with something else? Not only will you see it, but anyone who visits your profile will also see it… It’s in the works.

I like the updates, and thank you once again for continuing to make this site available to us.

Thank you also for adding more games, and allowing us to play more than one game a day.

Just noticed the Amazon links! Great that you’re starting to monetize the site to support it.

I like the idea there are more Explorer and Reporter Quests coming, as that has been stagnant for awhile.

I am looking forward to the color avatars as well.

Keep up the good work!!!!
