This is a short blog. Short on purpose. It will attract the mods attention, and maybe initiate action. I have seen a lot of people using their 100x100 pixel preview pics as screenshots for their games/examples/WIPs, and I am annoyed by it. I am pretty sure others are too. Isn't there some way that it can be stopped? Maybe a check that compares the file name for the preview pic to the screenshot and makes sure they aren't the same or something. But I hate going to the trouble of clicking on the screenshot thing and opening a whole window to just see a tiny little picture that I have already seen and is too small to tell me anything about the actual program!
hmmm…. the blog got ot be longer than I originally planned… it will probably get taken down anyway.
Just -1 in your rating if they use a preview pic as a screenshot. That will teach people quick.
Eh? I kind of like seeing Quality in the screenshots. If it looks wierd, I wont check it out.
I already mentioned this in a list of things that make crappy games. It's a bad problem, and needs to be dealt with.
Yeah. From now on, I'll deny games that use previews for a sole screenshot.
ooh, that's harsh. But it just might work. You should put a statement in the submission forn somewhere to not use the 100x100 as a screenshot :P
Good point. The mods will discuss it. And by that, I mean melee will code it in and everyone will blame arcalyth.
And the circle of life goes on.
Those 100x100 screenshots are VERY annoying, I never use them. Unless the game screen is actually 100x100. :P
