Hello folks,

How does the Daily spotlight work? I've been looking at it for some days now and it is starting to make me paranoid. Is it automated or handled by admins?

Hence why some projects turn up more often than others.

I never pay it any attention since I unconsciously mistake it for a banner or ad every time I visit.

I think it was for back in the old days when there were so many games that not all of them had any time on the front page. These days, you lazy klikers don't really submit much so there's nothing for that spotlight to focus on. There's only around 1 new game every day, and the spotlight tends to go there and stick longer if it has a nice screenshot

And if there aren't games that are very spotlight compatible, it could skip over those for a few weeks

I think Mitch handles it.

it was almost a year ago. in like 2 months.

it doesnt even need to be updated everyday. and it doesnt even need to be "new" stuff. i wouldnt mind seeing some old stuff that is worth looking at. (granted, projects should be fairly new and still being updated)

I think it should be automated, it is just not fair this way. I don't even care my games are never featured in the spotlight as people seem to find them anyway, but what I see in the spotlight now is not what I think is best, nor does it give people equal chances. What about "most downloaded", "highest rating" and "most recent"? That way the people decide and everybody gets a little coverage.

I guess I could make it randomly choose a game when the page is loaded.

A lot of things here should be automated but they're not, like the front-page Spotlight and Recommended Downloads. You just have to deal with it.
