How quickly time passes. Would you believe we've been around for just over a year already? M for Mature was created in October 2008 and here we are today, December 30th 2009, looking really different and offering so much more. As a thank you for your loyalty and support, we have a few presents for you guys in our community that we think you'll enjoy - especially since you've been asking for some of these things for a while now.
MfM Developer Tools
In line with M for Mature's push for support of Developers, we're happy to unveil the first part of our MfM Developer Tools to the public. At launch, we'll have a few projects in the system to show you how beneficial it is for people to use and will be adding more in the near future:
MfM Gamercards
MfM Feedback
These "project tools" enable Developers to better and more easily track their progress, bug reports and feature requests while providing the Developer's users with informative responses on whether or not a bug report has been confirmed and a fix is being worked on or a feature request has been accepted, etc. While I could most likely write a whole lot of text on why this second phase of MfM's Developer Tools will become incredibly useful to Developers, I think it is best if you see it for yourself.
Shop(s), awards and points
If you take a look around, you'll notice a few new things on our forums that some of you may consider bloat. But fear not! We will be fine-tuning the system to present the most stream-lined, yet useful implementation we can of our new shop(s), awards, points and activities system.
A lot of you have been wanting "something" to entice you to get involved in the community and we think we have the answer. With the introduction of this new system, you'll be earning points and awards based on your contributions throughout the community while maintaining the look and feel we strive for M for Mature to have.
So, once you've had a few days to check out the new system, please let us know what you think and we'll see what we can do to make things better.
The Last Word
Here it is, the one thing you've all been asking for: The Last Word. I am confident in saying that pretty much all of you have been waiting for M for Mature to do this and believe you will find it a perfect present for Christmas and to begin the New Year. So, just what is The Last Word?
Every single time, without fail, we ask for feedback from the community on what they want us to offer, this comes up. While we strive to bring you guys what you want, some things take time and we're reluctant to announce something until we have it within our hands, ready for your consumption. This results in some requests being given the official "We'll look into it" with little more else and can become frustrating to you guys when it is the only answer we feel comfortable giving - well, no more.
The Last Word is M for Mature's answer to your call for reviews. Shortly after this announcement, we'll be publishing our very first of - what we hope to be - many The Last Word articles covering new games, older games and maybe even things that aren't games. When we do finally publish our first review, we hope you'll bombard us with feedback so that we may improve on our offerings and gauge whether or not we've met your expectations.
Thanks goes out to MenaceInc for the TLW banner !
In closing, we'd like to personally recognise all our Donators for their monetary contributions:
Hellcat, Twelve, Bossmanuk, MiKeY188, Nimsical, Slasher, Serideth, EvilSeph, madsoul, Jordan, Andy, Seth, !Kernel Panic!, DrLame, Cloudy, January39, Lampworker, Davee, acidmc, Nevada, MenaceInc, Robby, Moose, Pirata Nervo, stadicon
Thank you all for your donations, they are all much appreciated.
Happy Holidays and a prosperous New Year everyone, from myself and the rest of the M for Mature staff! While we've spent a lot of time working to make things meet the expectations of our community, we will likely continuously be working on each "present" moving forward, so any feedback on them is much appreciated.
