While I know that there are thousands of things to complete or to fix, I can't stop adding new features that I feel useful, so here it is: Events!
The basic idea is to show how games are related (not strictly related) events. Some examples: - How are related Olympics video games to the real Olympic games? - How many years we had to wait before a "The Simpson" game was released since the fists air date? - Bat-Man games are only released along movies? (This works well for any licensed group, but I'm sure you will find some more unusual usage of this!) For testing purposes I filled some Dragonball events. (I'd like to find the event that started the new dragonbball-mania since 2002 too!) Basically we relate a date (along with a description) to a tag. So simple. Something similar could be done to record companies events (sold, bankrupt, etc.), platforms and games release dates too (with an additional country field). Please note, you can't add dates for now, the input interface is not yet ready. Seems like this could be tied to the news articles somehow, but that would require the possibility of backdating such articles (backdating them has other potential benefits as well :)
Generally, this would allow inserting historical info about individual games as well and not just groups if the two are tied together, or merged. A bit more uniform format for what I did with Prey. It is going well, now I can add events to groups and companies.
You can see here the event's I've added for testing. Where available you can add a geographic reference too. When working on the companies I figured that linking an event to just one company is not complete. Take this for example: "Atari name and assets sold to Hasbro Interactive". This event should be linked to the two companies, not just Atari. I have to figure a simple interface to add multiple relations to an event. When this is complete, I'll move to the game events. re: Events (I'd like to find the event that started the new dragonbball-mania since 2002 too!)
Maybe something to do with these? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Ball_(franchise)#Third_US_release and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Ball_(franchise)#International_release | |||
