(I apologize if this is the wrong forum, I couldn't find a way to post on game updates and not certain this really qualifies as an update as it stands.)

It isn't perfect and I am relying on getting help from my awesome girlfriend for the art but here it is, my one month DM coding anniversary.

Most of the time has been spent on my attack system which is is automatic based on the weapons in your inventory, each with a unique cooldown to control DPS. I actually stumbled across trouble with it while making this screen shot (lagging when moving between too many possible targets, I'll need to optimize how it handles this) so now I know what to work on next. (UPDATE: fixed xD)

Anyways, let's turn this ship around(no pun intended), enough complaining and negativity. Let's make BYOND what we want it to be by virtue of efforts not our rants.

UPDATE: Here is a link to the hub: MiniShips Hub

I always cringe when people say "X month anniversary" when the definition of anniversary is "the date on which an event took place in a previous year."

lawl but anyways congratulations and good luck.

If you make a hub for it it can show up in Game Updates. If you don't want to make a hub for it, then there really isn't a set place to make development updates. I'll let you stay here, but one of the other mods may find it fitting to move this to Off Topic or something.

Haha I guess that was corny, wasn't it? Ah well I'll redeem myself in due time ;)

I will definitely be making a hub once I become a member!

You don't need to be a member to make hubs. Tom really needs to make that abundantly clear since many seem to still think that.

To prove my point, I made a random hub with an alternate account of mine (which has no membership). http://www.byond.com/games/Fransguf/Poopman

If I turn on admin options, I can even list it. It's a completely normal hub.

Keep up the work. Would like to see more information on your game.

I will update you all via the Game Update forum in a little when I make a hub, Fugsnarf just told me I am able to without being a member so I'll go that route :P

I put a link to the hub in the main post now :P

Don't forgot to go to options and check the option to make the hub visible. Otherwise we can't list it.

Okay I just did, thank you!

I thought you could make a hub with no membership, but had to be a member to get listed / post updates?
Feb 22 2014, 12:39 pm
That's also incorrect. I listed KickingKangaroo's hub. Again, I wish this were more clear.

Really? I created a game 2 weeks ago and it still isn't listed. It says I need to be a member to have it listed!

Your game never showed up in the pending list for some reason. I've gone ahead and listed it now though since you linked it here. Sorry for the wait.
Feb 23 2014, 10:21 am
Ohh it's fine and Thank you.

Where?

Create a new game
Edit it and make it visible
Visit the hub and go on the "FEEDBACK" tab.

It should say something like this game is listed but will not appear in searches until you become a BYOND member.
Feb 23 2014, 3:20 pm
There are multiple games by non-members that have been listed recently which you can find in the search. Check for yourself: http://www.byond.com/games/?sort=date

My previous game: Pazuru, didn't show up in the "Latest" game section either.
