tsumea migration progress

Hi there, I thought I'd spend a few words on how we're going with migrating the site.

We're migrating tsumea to a newer Content Management System and while we've done this a bunch of times in the past, it's never been as much work as it has this time round. The main difference now is that it's a migration (where data needs to be transformed and lots of things need to be rebuilt) rather t...

The tsumea forum

Well, the forum has certainly been a sore point of the site for quite some time now. It used to be one of the most active parts of tsumea for a good part of a decade, but a whole lot of factors have contributed to its slow decline. Forum fatigue and life priorities for our regulars (can you imagine constantly posting for 8 or 9 years?), the global financial crisis and massive studio closures wh...

Members and accreditation

For the last couple of years, we've been on auto-pilot (development wise) on tsumea, settling on a smaller focus for the site. A bunch of the features that we've had since the site began (news, articles, events, media, and games listing) were removed and others were cut back (the developers listing). The main focus was put on jobs and social features like following members and favouriting their...

The tsumea games section: part 1

Hi there folks, I thought I'd write a little bit about the new games section on tsumea that I’ve been working on for the last two and a bit weeks. This will be in two parts, the first will be a look back at the various iterations at the games section on tsumea and the second will go into this latest attempt and why I chose to go that particular direction.

It probably seems strange that a...

Just a test

This is an example post for a devlog. Just post a journal and tag it with your game title and it will show up there.

Embedding Soundcloud tracks and sets in Journals

Just a quick test for embedding Soundcloud music and music sets into Journal posts on tsumea.

Alright, it seems to be working! So, this is primarily for the growing number of musicians on here. In the same way that artists have been showing off their work on tsumea, musicians can now do the same also! To show off your audio work, simply make a journal post, click the media button, and pa...

tsumea events are back!

Just posting a note letting you all know that our Australasia-wide events page is back after a massive overhaul! The short summary is that it's now much easier for members to add any upcoming event to our events page, and more useful for those checking up on upcoming games, developer, or digitally creative events in Australia and New Zealand. Members can also mark/unmark themselves as going to...
