The new Playtomic!

Posted by ben 14 Aug 2010 | 0 comments

I've finally set up Playtomic which is the new version of SWFStats. The SWFStats domain will soon start redirecting to Playtomic but games will continue using the old subdomain.swfstats.com domains so they won't be affected.

Some new features:

  • Attribution: You can add developers/artists/etc to the attribution. This means they get listed wherever game info is displayed and the attributed people have read-only access to the game's reports.

  • Sponsors: There's finally a mechanism in place for sponsors to also be attributed and they get full access to the game.

  • Non-exclusives: You can specify your FGL game id if your game's for sale in the gameshop and it will advertise that sitelocks are available.

  • Charts: A ranking of games to provide sponsors and portals a great place to find games to add to their website or to buy sitelocks for. Combined with the non-exclusives this is awesome. Some games aren't shown because they have less than 1000 views so I assume it's not launched. Soon it will be limited to only games that are uploaded but it looks crap with just my games.

  • Distribution: I'm creating a place where portals can get the best games delivered right to them with none of the shitty little jigsaws or other low quality games. There's a whole range of customization features available for portals to get whatever type they want. One-click installing is coming soon so portals will be able to post a game to their site from the game charts and game profiles. I've got downloading etc. wired up so it's collecting stats so there'll be some awesome stuff coming in the dev center soon for that.

  • Support tickets: If you have a problem and you don't know I live in chat you can log a ticket and I'll probably reply or something.

  • Community stuff: forums, user profiles and private messages. For flashers this is a bit redundant given FGL and Mochi but my aspirations go beyond Flash so feel free to use or not use that stuff.

If you have games using SWFStats you should sign in to Playtomic and go into your game settings and adjust them to your liking - you can exclude games from charts/distribution and from your profile if you want, set the sitelocks up if you have them available, and upload your game files so we can get the game feed set up. If your game is sponsored send me a PM so I can set some extra stuff in to entice sponsors to come and be a part of this (and pay for the devs they sponsor when I set that up).

What's next:

This stuff will start appearing over the next week or two:

  • one-click installing for portals to publish your games on their site(s)

  • managing the levels in the quietly-launched level sharing API

  • resetting stats to a specific date

  • distribution reports

  • some awesome new analytics stuff
