Marked 197 Report post Posted June 19, 2016 Hi all Today I would like to officially announce a new system that I am developing for GDU. I don't want to release too much information at this stage. GDU Refinery is a system for game developers that is focuses on community and content. It will be a place about you and your content where you'll be able to interact with and following other developers. It's a modern platform completely unlike a forum. The goal is that it will be dead simple to use, and easy to get whatever you're developing out there for the community to take a look. I plan to release a live version before August. It's currently 80 - 85% and I will need some beta testers to give it a good run through at some stage. Here's some more screenies in addition to what I've posted in the Teaser topic: Btw the announcement content type is for me, not you guys :> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ardaceus 21 Report post Posted June 19, 2016 Excitement! Drama! Romance! ACTIONS!! EXPLOSIONS!!! Looking really cool, I wasn't quite excited for this stuff back when you first announced it, but that's just me to when I don't get excited over stuff I don't know. But with how you make it sound, and the photograph you put up, it makes me more interested into this topic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yokuto Akiyama 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2016 Wow Mark, looks good! :thumbsup: I'll be happy to test it out as soon as it's available! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted June 25, 2016 Sweet, thanks. My current plan is to open the floor to all to begin with but disable any member functions (so everything except viewing). Then a bunch of us will test it out and iron out the kinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted August 3, 2016 Ok, I lied about the August release. I've been super busy recently and get too tired after work to get much progress through on this, but since I've been chipping away for 4 months I will try to get a speedy release for testers out soon. If you're keen to test, let me know and I'll give you access for when the testing version is up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marked 197 Report post Posted August 5, 2016 Trying to go live this weekend! No one wants to volunteer to test? :( If not, I'll just go live with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yokuto Akiyama 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2016 I'll test it out, but I don't know how. Is it a file you need to send me, or is it something just on the site that I can get to with a link? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ardaceus 21 Report post Posted August 5, 2016 I can help test it out... It's what I've been doing for other people on this site lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted August 5, 2016 I'll test it out, but I don't know how. Is it a file you need to send me, or is it something just on the site that I can get to with a link? Lol. Please read the first post. I can help test it out... It's what I've been doing for other people on this site lately. I'm thinking of just going live immediately and see how it goes down. Thank you for the offer though :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marked 197 Report post Posted September 18, 2016 Ironing out a few kinks... then the refinery will come online. The system is a tad complicated to test, so I'll definitely need you guys to help me find bugs and recommend features :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
