Warp Door's September 2015 Round-Up
We've had plenty of requests over the months asking for more efficient methods of browsing the games we post here. We planned to have more filtering options such as 'Featured' games, an archive, and 'Recent Comments' located on the front page a long time ago.
But due to using Ghost, a publishing platform that's still in development, these features kept being delayed. Hopefully we'll have them up soon. For now, what we're going to do towards this goal is to have monthly round-ups. This is the first one.
There aren't any hard and fast rules on what games we're picking for these round-ups outside of choosing the ones we think you really shouldn't miss. Think of it as a highlight reel. And bear in mind that Warp Door is interested in games that are primarily a little different to the usual formats. This will factor into our choices too.
If you have any feature requests or feedback from now on please send them to warpdoor@gmail.com and we'll try to get them sorted as soon as we can if we consider them a good idea (and they're manageable). For now, check out the round-up below and look out for these in the future -- we'll keep them under the "round-up" tag for convenience.
(Psst, click on the headline to see the full round-up if you're on the front page.)
