TDC New Download Organisation Idea:
The whole point is to have more categories so it's Easier for people to find the style of games they like to play.
There could always still be a category called "Miscellaneous", for things that don't fit neatly into a category.
It just needs to be planned out in a Family Tree sorta way, that's all I'm saying.
Here's a way:
{ * * }---> Beat'em'up --> *-2.5 Dimensional-* *-360 degree-* *-Isometric-* *-Pseudo 3d-* *-Tournament Fighters-*
{ * * }---> Shoot'em'up --> *-2.5 Dimensional-* *-360 degree-* *-Isometric-* *-Psuedo 3d-* *-Target Shooting-*
{ F G }---> Puzzle --> *-Crossword-* *-Tetris-* *-Mystery-* *-Sliding Pictures-* *-Cryptic-*
{ U A }---> Strategy --> *-Turn Based-* *-Real Time-* *-Combination of RT and TB-*
{ L M }---> Sports --> *-Football-* *-Baseball-* *-Soccer-* *-Hockey-* *-Basketball-* *-Bowling and Billiards-*
{ L E }---> Simulation --> *-Flight-* *-Racing-* *-Fishing-* *-WildLife-* anything that attempts to simulate an experience
{ _ S }---> Role Playing --> *-Turn Battle-* *-Real Time Battle-*
{ * * }---> Board Games --> *-Chess-* *-Monopoly-* *-Scrabble-*
{ * * }---> Card Games and Casino --> *-Solitaire-* *-Poker-* *-BlackJack-* *-Slot Machine-*
{ * * }---> Platformers --> gets it's own categories, everything above is not a platformer
{ D }--->
{ E }--->
{ M }---> Same as Above
{ O }--->
{ S }--->
{ E }---> Get the idea yet ? ... yes, Engines as in Open-Source displays of your code.
{ N }--->
{ G }--->
{ I }---> If it's not Open-Source then DON'T post it here! .. that's what the DEMO section is for, unfinished things.
{ N }--->
{ E }---> Why? .. Because if it's not Open-Source, then it's NOT an Engine to US now is it? .. only to those who can see how it works.
{ S }---> If I can't look at the code, then it's just another demo to me.
DEMO = Demonstration
ENGINE = Base Code that a game can be built upon, the foundation basically.
{ Miscellaneous Section } ---> anything that doesn't fit above
With this system, if you find something that doesn't fit, an admin can add in a new area for it.
NOTE: Platformers could be any of the others, but the others can't have platformers listed under them.
i.e. Platformers --> *-beatemup-* *-shootemup-* (in a 2d platformer it's called Run'n'Gun)
Now that I did most of the placement work for them, it should be easy to add it to the site if they like the idea.
