Version 1 Current »

Releases shall have a title added to them explaining the basics.

Examples:

  1. Original German floppy release for DOS
  2. Second edition of the German floppy release for DOS
  3. German compilation release for Windows within Gold Games 4
  4. English Steam release for Windows
  5. Flash release for Kongregate.com
  6. UK Green Pepper budget release for Windows


There shall be a description added to the release, too, explaining what's in there and what's special about it.

Examples:

  1. To number 2) above: The second edition of Germany's floppy release came with version 1.1 of the game included, featuring a slightly different front cover and a made-up manual. The registration card was left out, though, because no one registered the first time around.
  2. To number 5) above: When the game was released on Kongregate.com, it was adapted to Kongregate's framework. The in-game help was cut and replaced by the help on the website, a high-score list was added, and some achievements have been integrated:
    1. Kill one foe [Easy]
    2. Kill ten foes [Medium]
    3. Kill all foes [Hard]
    4. Donate money to the developers [Ultra]

The field Compilation Mother Release exists to connect the release of the compilation to its child releases under the individual games. It shall be filled when creating the child releases. We'll see if there's a better technical way to do this.

The field Compilation Case Description is an optional way to explain special compilation cases. Exemplary, it could be used to describe how to play the game Maniac Mansion from within Day of the Tentacle. This field shall be filled in with the mother release.
