What Makes A Good Submission: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 09:24, 23 May 2014

Submitting to the Resource sites can be tricky for some, but by following some basic steps, you can easily ensure that your submission will be approved.

Game Icons

Game Icons use the same style across all sites. They are created by a 240px x 125px cropped screenshot from a game. The website itself inserts code surrounding the image to represent it in the form of a Game Icon.

Game Icons must be in either a .PNG or .GIF file format, and of high quality. Where possible, downsizing a screenshot should not occur, and should represent the game that it is being submitted for.

It is preferable that icons aren't taken from JPEG screenshots found on the web, and are instead from non-lossy format images.

To see our old game icons, check out our History page.

-'''Make Sure It's Not Music'''
-The Sounds Resource is for Sound Effects only. Music usually has a lot more complexities in terms of how we can go about providing it, specifically because many games use licensed songs or sell their soundtracks on in other media.
-''Note: We also cannot accept instrument samples, as they are what form the music and are not sound effects anyway, so please make sure that your submissions don't contain any.''
-'''File Formats'''
-While you can only submit .zip archives to the site, the actual audio files within your zips must be in either .wav or .MP3 format.
-If you are submitting MP3 files, make sure that they're variable bitrate MP3s, and not set bitrate. This provides a higher quality sound effect while still remaining small in size.
-===The Sound Pack===
-'''Get Everything'''
-While this isn't strictly required, we do need sound packs to be "as complete as possible". What we mean by this is, to put it simply, don't try to submit a "Menu Sound Effects" pack and only include a few menu sound effects. You need to at least try and go for a more complete rip than knowingly decide to just submit 2 sound from random categories.
-'''Credit Tags'''
-If you want to include a credit tag, simply include a small .txt file with any information you wish to provide. Some information you may wish to include will be:
-Name: You can include your name if you want. It's not really required as we store your name in our database anyway, seen below the download button.
-Credit: Some people want to be credited when somebody uses their ripped sound effects, normally by writing "Give credit if used". Some people will also write "Credit not required". It's your choice whether you want to request credit or not, though we advise that you don't ask for it.
-Just remember that not including a tag is also a more than acceptable. It's quite likely that many people will simply ignore a tag, which is why the trend lately has been to simply not include one. This is of course your own personal preference.
-'''Zipping'''
-The site only accepts .zip file submissions. Please only include the sound effects and a credit tag, if you wish to include one. Any additional files just add space needlessly and detract from the quality of your submission. You can create the .zip file with any application you wish.
