BYOND's games page could use a bit more refining; something that is inherent and would make new developers accustomed to the layout. The sorting options aren't a lot too, but that's not really a problem - it's not imperative enough to get into detail about it. Instead of having all of the games bulked up in one category, splitting them up into separate categories(complete, work-in-progress, beta, e.t.c) would be commendable. YoYo Games does this perfectly and it's quite straightforward to navigate its games page. As for featured games, I didn't really see a reason to get rid of it; this is where another aspect of categories come into play. Featured games could be based on most recommended or most played, but there are barely any good BYOND games that would make it, anyway. A rating-based system could also be incorporated into games' hubs so that newcomers or existing site users can decide if they want to play the game or not.

Perhaps the games page could show the featured game of the month with a short write up at the top of the page. Something as small as this could also motivate developers.
This would also be a lovely addition!
Doesn't it look awesome after all that effort?
