  • Rewriting old player movement code

    In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Working on a small game to showcase the Devlog

    Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test 2

    Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • A long, long time ago, I was a pixel artist

    So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

  • A time for change

    Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

This is for the new members on Sumea who have just received an account to show off their work.. I'll be pointing them to this post, rather than typing everything out all the time [;)].. It'll also be a FAQ so that I don't have to answer the same things..

Sumea IRC Channel

http://www.sumea.com.au/sumeachat/login.htm

Or if you'd rather using mirc, the server is irc.oftc.net, at the channel #sumea

http://mirc.eon.net.au

*Note*

The forum and Sumea website are different applications altogether.. If you have a Sumea profile/account, you will still have to register again ON THE FORUM to use the forum.

New Members

You can register for a profile/journal through http://www.sumea.com.au/sregister.asp .. Please don't register again, and again. Registering isn't instant. New accounts are approved by me - I will email you once I make your account active. If you don't receive a reply, you most likely didn't fill your registration properly.

New Members log in through the front page up the top.. http://www.sumea.com.au/index.asp...

If you have just received a new account - please log in within 2 weeks or else your account will be removed.

I can't log in?

- If I have sent you an email activating your account, and you still can't log in, then have a look in the mapper, modeller, 2d artist, or programmer pages to see if you're still listed. If you're not, then it means I have removed your account. If your name IS there, and you can't log in, make sure you have entered your name and password correctly (none of which are case sensitive). If that doesn't work, send me an email (make sure you tell me your login name or else I won't know who you are [:)])

** I want a forum avatar!
If you want an Avatar for use in the forum here, send me [url="http://www.sumea.com.au/scontact.asp"]a message through here[/url] and I will activate it for you. Make sure you tell me your forum name.

** Problems with uploading an avatar or images
There is a file size limit to avatars. Make sure you fall under those file size limits or else hte uploader will cut it off. Use Macromedia Fireworks or Photoshop's save as web feature to get the file sizes down.

**if you have a new member account, you should upload some of your work in your journal. This way, your name gets listed on the section pages, rather than the "the rest of the memberlist" page. The "rest of the memberlist" page is for the slackers who don't upload any work [;)]

Tips on getting people to visit your profile on Sumea

There are currently over five hundred Sumea members with profiles, and for you to get noticed, you can do a few things..

  • Upload art. When you upload art, your first thumbnail will show up on the main page, and that's where all of Sumea's visitors will see it first. From there they can see your gallery and your profile.
    It's a bit iffy with programmers to upload pictures due to the nature of their craft.. but the suggestion was that programmers can upload screenshots of their routines in action if the routines are of any visual effect.
  • Write in your journal regularly. When you write something there, it will show up in the modeller, mapper, or coder section (depending on which area you belong in).
