Re: piecepack.org -Ideas

I guess I didn't make myself clear.

What I liked was the fact that Ron pointed out that there were only 
around 15 designers/design teams with games on 
piecepack.org

Karol's original idea was to have some info on the designers of 
the games as well as feature the games themselves, I think.

I also want the emphasis to be on game design rather than the 
designer as such.

I was suggesting that one option would be to have a designer of 
the month and within that  a game of the week.  If the designer 
has created a lot of games the designer could present one 
game a week for that month.  If the designer has created less 
than that then the 1-3 games of that collection could be featured.  

>What if you design your really good
games AFTER you're profiled as Designer of the Month? Then 
the
piecepackpublic might miss out on hearing about your good 
games.

Well, that depends on what you consider to be a good game - 
what if that person produces enjoyable games you want to play 
every once ina  while but never produces a masterpiece?  And 
why should there be anything to stop someone from being 
designer of the month frequently?.... (if you were DotM in Feb, 
then produced a masterpiece in May, what would stop you being 
profiled in July?).

Perhaps a good compromise considering the number of games 
and designers would be to profile a game every two weeks.

Of course how is it going to be decided which game to profile?
