You guys are totally right about the badges. Looks like I forgot to include a check for screenshots in the badges script, oops! Will add that asap. Thanks for pointing this out, Dan!
The other thing are the unproven highscores, those without screenshots. As TheForce81 guessed correctly, it has historical reasons that they are there. When I began having highscore lists on PVB, it was not necessary to submit screenshots to get included. One reason was, that many people did simply not have the equipment to take screenshots. Since I made the highscore submission form with its screenshot option, 99% (or 100%? not sure) of the submitted scores had one. I don’t want to simply erase all highscores without screens, but it’s only a matter of time, until those are overtaken by proven highscores. Also there might be people, who still have no way of taking screenshots, and we don’t want to exclude them. Since unproven highscores get no Top10 points and no badges (at least now ;D), they don’t play a big role anyway.
The bottom line is that the whole highscore thing is based on honesty anway, since screenshots could be easily faked with Photoshop, using hacked ROMs or whatever.
I don’t want to exclude any game on highscores, but I need to understand what’s to going on in the game to add highscore tables for it… There’s so many stats in the game that it’s not so easy to determine which highscore tables need to be created for the game. 😀 Any help would be appreciated!
Yes, we are considering building another batch in a few months. Please check the site from time to time, I will most likely put up a banner and automated preorder form when the release is close.
That’s so typical that you always jump to the first conclusion and make it a conspiratorial fact for yourself.
Editing is not possible in general after a certain amount of time, that has been changed a while ago. It has nothing to do with this thread, which BTW would have already been closed, deleted, whatever for a long time if I really where the control freak you think I am.
I am pretty excited as well, even thinking about creating a website about it. I registered planet3ds.net yesterday. Time might be too sparse in the end, but I am trying to come up with a good concept to see if it can be done. 🙂
Everyone: You can now submit user ratings for Bound High through the Rate Games Form or on the Bound High info page in the Games section. Highscore tables are going to be added soon as well.
