Congrats

Congratulations to Elon and the Space X team! They successfully launched their Falcon rocket today. Unfortunately a roll anomaly prevented them from reaching the full orbit, meaning the rocket is probably lost…but it’s still a giant step toward their dream of cheap, accessible space flight…

Alpha 2

We’re putting the finishing touches on our next alpha release. We’ll be taking this release to a wider number of people – mostly friends & family of the current Xfire team.

We’re getting really close. Feature development is nearing completion; we’re almost able to start focusing on refining the UI, bug fixes, and other tweaks…. it’s an exciting time :)

If you’re interested in participating in our upcoming beta period, leave a comment here – we’ll be picking up people as opening come up!

Updates

Couple updates you’ll notice as of March 2nd…

  • The Games tab is now (semi) functional. You can browse around and see the games that are in the database, get some info on them. We’ll be integrating the game-specific tabs as well as better game quickviews, and making the data/cover art you see for each game live.
  • Game search results are more intuitive. Still working on better relevancy.
  • Most people won’t notice yet, but the backend for awarding badges and ranks is in place. You’ll soon be receiving points for the content you submit that gets votes :)
