GamingOnLinux GOTY Section & Nominations Now Open

Quoting: RutineI have a suggestion. As it is a GOTY but whe can vote for previous years games... why not make two categories ? If it's not too mcuh work for you of course. Fisrt category would be "Linux Game of the Year 2014"
and the other could be "Linux Best Game to the date" or "Linux Best Game of the last 5 years"; something like that.
Category options as noted in the article will be available next year, as it's too much work to get done in time.

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: liamdaweThe main list images are almost the same size as the old ones FYI.
I found out more on this one. When the browser is full screen, the images are of reasonable size and three news fit on my screen. But if I resize my browser to a width of say 1100 pixels, the images get much larger (about 700 * 440) and only 1 1/3 news fit on the screen (height wise).

In case you wonder, I regularly use a smaller browser width in order to get text lines of less width. They are easier to read (that's why newspapers use several columns).
This has been sorted for the next update, when the window is half-size on my monitor the images are smaller, but any smaller screen-size/window-size than 768px makes them pop up bigger (phone/tablet size screen).

Also working on stopping the quote/like buttons overlapping poster info when screen size is small and a few other little bits.

Quoting: omer666Shouldn't there be a unique "Metro Redux" instead of both Metro 2033 Redux AND Metro Last Light Redux? Making a choice between either of them would divide the rating by 2... whereas it's meant to be the same package and the same release...
They are different games with different story and game-play. You should be able to vote for what you prefer.

Quoting: liamdaweAdjusted it to be in 3 columns, and upped the count. Should make finding a game easier.
It looks like the paging mechanism doesn't know this yet? Most items on page 2 are already shown on page 1...
Eep, my bad. Will fix that as soon as i'm back from my nightshift tomorrow afternoon.

Quoting: minjYou should use a 'masonry' display so that more items could be displayed at one time. Now I have to open all tabs to search for a title

Quoting: KelsWhy does Dreamfall Chapters have two entries? Far as I know, only one game is released so far.
There will be errors now and then with duplicate approvals if they are named slightly differently. Stuff happens.

Quoting: DaverballAlright, seems like maybe a bit of a double standard when you allow EA titles, but I can understand why you would want to do it that way, since open beta titles probably don't stand a chance against officially released titles anyways, just purely based on the user base.
EA titles advertise their supported platforms. Games that have a secret Linux version do not, it's nothing to do with double standards.

If it advertises a Linux version: Allowed.
If it does not: Nope.
