Hey guys,
Metadata would be I think a first in the front end. Best way to browse game, when you have thousand of them. Take for exemple Steam store. You can write 2 player adventure and get all the 2 player adventure game. People could populate those meta data on their personal game then it would be shared with other user.
Thanks !

Re: MetaData
That's a great idea. Could we not start with another website's database and just add to that maybe? LIke, taking another person's site and copying it as a baseline which we could then contribute to make our own?
