Cant you put games more regularly on this page because games doesnt appear for a week or so and then 3 or more games comes at once on this page. I think this is really stupid and I would be happy if you did something about it!!!

Please be patient, games do not come out all the time.
Developers has to make games and post it to AG. Then AG takes a few days to check if its ok for AG, check for copyright stuff etc. This takes a few months to do. AG cannot post new games all the time.


I know that but its just so boring that no new game comes out!!!

Well, if you know or can come up with a better system, I'm sure the staff would be happy to let you contact them.

Just be patient. There's no point demanding this and demanding that, merely for the sake of eradicating boredom. It doesn't work that way.

AG does it's best to roll out the games, they have to check copyright as tim said, not to mention test the game to see for bugs, and thereafter return the game to the owner to correct if a bug is found. All this takes time.

Plus, it's not always that new games are submitted to AG.

Thats true but usually they submit them all at the same time.If the games would be submitted on different days it would be better!!!

Well, not all new games are submitted on the front page, its just those new games that could be popular

I don't think so, but I am not certain. I believe that all game are shown there.

Well look in the Puzzle & Skill games category, it has Pupzzle, but that game isn't in the front page.

I think it was. but now I can't be sure, my mind isn't an archive.

Pupzzle was there. But Mrtim is right, only the games that the staff believe will be popular is put on the front page. A statement made by Carlie a while ago proves that.

I'm siding wiyh Agent_AAS here. I'm not even at 500 games rated yet, and I've been here for almost an entire year. You only have 211 sebi! Just because a game isn't on the front page, that doesn't mean that it cant be played. Topics like this frustrate me. When you have 1100 games rated, then you can complain. But until then, work on getting more than just 20% of the games played.

AG Does it's best, dude. Games take time to develop, and the good ones take even longer. *CoughBubblTanksArenasCough*

Then there's the whole Process of reviewing and testing the game, like everybody else has said.

Dear sebi,

Wont you agree with me that the tone of what you brought up was a bit harsh? For me it was like: "i want more games!!!" a cryout for more games and more releases becouse your bored, while you might have ment you wanted our opinions about the releases of only 3-4 games per week. in that case i think you could formulate your OP a bit better by " hey guys i think find it sad thay ag only releases 3-4 games per week, what do you guys think about this." this points out the same thing but is much less "crybaby-like" (no offense)

here is a link to all the games Click me!

i think its fine that they "only" bring out 3-4 games per week.

Sebi is saying that instead of submitting three games in one day and nothing for another couple of days, they should submit one game each day for three days. Plus (I'm pretty sure) they don't update on weekends so if a bunch of games is submitted Wednesday, and nothing on Thursday or Friday, you'd have to wait until Monday for a possibility of new games. And by that time, you've played as much as you'd want to.

Ah, well if that is what he meant, then well, it would become to constricted and complicated for developers to submit games. If they would be assigned certain days to submit games, that would get annoying, not to mention frustrating for the game developer. If they finish a game then go to submit it, but get a message that says "Sorry, error occurred, today is not your submission date" I wouldn't bother with trying to submit it again.


But if the AG programmer came up with a program that accepted the games, but only allowed a certain amount such as 1 game to be submitted a day, a few things could happen. A. The game developer wouldn't know why their game wasn't loaded to the site after a day or two. B. There would be one game for three days instead of three games on one day, and then you would be back to the game drought. Or C. A glitch occurs yours laptop/desktop catch on fire releasing gasses that kill you.

So why not just let things be and keep yourself to only playing one new game a day instead of all three. That would less work for everyone, as well as make everyone happy.

Games are uploaded to the front page more infrequently than games are added to the site. If you look at the individual genres (Misc., Puzzles, Action, etc.), you will find that games are actually uploaded there more often. However, it is only the more highly rated or more popular games that are actually added to the front page of the website. Although a game is submitted and uploaded, it will not necessarily show up on the front page. So there are actually more games being uploaded on the site than what you see on the front page.
