Staff Blog: Busy Times, Busy Times

Staff Blog by Shawn

It's that time of the week (well, a day late, but we have a good reason for that :p) again --- it's another Staff Blog entry! As some of you may have noticed, we didn't have an entry last week. That was due to the launching of our new Videos section, among other things.

We were knee-deep in coding the section last Monday, so we couldn't reveal it just yet since the front-end wasn't really done (we only had the database backend setup at that point). We know our fans have been waiting for this section to re-launch, and we're glad it appears to have launched without a hitch.

It's pretty similar to the version we had on the old site, and even has some new additions like being able to share the video on the various social media channels. One missing feature we're working on is allowing comments to be made through the forums, much like comments for news stories. No ETA on this feature, but we are hoping to have it added sometime in the next few months.

As you may have noticed, we've been uploading videos from previous games as well. We're about 50% done with this process at the present time.

As for the Gallery, we're still working on that, but due to the immense work involved, plus us needing to change the majority of the structure from the old site, it will be a little while before that can be relaunched.

We would also like to inform everyone that the Cosplay of the Week feature won't be going up this week. I'm currently working on a unannounced project for the Gaming Union Network which is taking away some of my focus (along with university courses, as stated in the last Staff Blog). To offset the loss we are planning on putting up a special article feature this weekend. Let's just say...it does everything. *wink* ;)

Until next time!
- Shawn
