If they're listed after, it would be much more fair then not at all.
I really like how the new website is turning out, but the color you guys are using for the background on some pages, which is pure white, can hurt your eyes after a while
One other small nit-pick, is that I'd rather see those tan stars inside the box, where the yellow ones currently are.
BYOND on iPad! Wow. Now I made my mind up. I'm getting an iPad :) +1 For BYOND!

I'm very curious to how this'll play out.
All of my games have been fan-games. I don't however, have a problem with this. But yeah, this site really does need an update bad. | |

No reason why the iPad/iPhone could not take advantage of the same technologies... oh wait, it's Apple! xD Heck even my old Skype mobile phone was only a monthly fee with unlimited Skype-to-Skype calls. properly done, video over a phone device should not increase costs significantly, if at all, with a proper payment system. | |

Well, I already have the money for it, so I'd say it's probably based on a personal basis. I for one, love touchscreen devices. I certainly don't want to spend $3,000 on a touchscreen PC. You could get an iPhone for outdoor use, and iPad for when your home relaxing BTW. I'd say playing BYOND games on an iPad would be a whole new experience for anyone. Plus, I don't think anyone would buy an iPad *just* to play flash based games, now thats just silly. | |
I'm curious, how are people envisioning playing BYOND games on touchscreen-only devices? Are you going to use an on-screen keyboard? What about right-clicking?
I'm planning on buying a Bluetooth controller for my Android phone, so I guess that would also be an option for some games with simple controls (if Apple will allow the software necessary to set such a controller up... I think I've heard they generally don't because its primary use would be for emulators) | |
If you look at the most popular touchscreen games you'll notice most of them have an incredibly simple interface. They either have a few button commands or make heavy use of the "swipe" motion you can only do on touchscreens.
The swiping motion would probably be something like MouseDrag(). Considering the fact BYOND has no client-side processing to make up for the fact the flash client is online-only, I don't really see BYOND ever having much of a presence in the mobile market. Anything you could possibly do with BYOND can be done better using tools other than BYOND. That being said, the flash client still the potential to make a big impact on browser gaming. I think it would be best to focus on that like a laser and completely ignore mobile devices. | |
So you could like....play a byond game...in a byond game...in a byond game =D

Oh man I haven't been on due to finals, good to see the layout is updated. Hmm seems to be also near the time where I renew my membership also..

He was correct for the most part. Rips will be actively suppressed, fangames will be listed after original games.
