I'm writing because you each indicated that you would like to put your game on the GameBuilders website. Please send me in zip or tar.gz format
The title of the game
A few screenshots (3-10)
A 256x256 title image. This can also just be a cropped screenshot
The credits
A description that is as long as you want (markdown or restructered text formatted if you like)
The current status of your project
Any links for the source code (e.g. github or bitbucket), the binaries, and/or your own website
I've attached an example of how this info should be formatted. It is in Jekyll's format and that part on the top is in YAML format, which is designed to be easy to write by humans. White space does matter, and for the love of good, please use 4 spaces instead of tabs. The images should be included inside the zip alongside your game info document.
If you know anybody who wasn't at today's meeting but would like me to post their game, feel free to forward them this email and have them respond to me.
Thanks,
Zach
