Go in-depth with our new changelog »
Drop shadows, dynamic animations, and visually-distinct sections combine to create a new design that’s more approachable, easier to navigate, and recognisable at a glance.
For the first time in our seven-year history, we’re throwing open the floodgates to comments from our readers! We’re determined to build a safe, inclusive place for people to share their opinions – without having to worry about personal attacks.
Our colour-coded titleTags appear alongside every post, making it easy to find related content.
In V2.1 we’ve simplified titleTags, introduced new icons, and made it even easier to spot the games and topics – like Ace Attorney and Dungeons & Dragons – that we’re covering in-depth.
Our homepage is now home to ChickenFeed – a glanceable hub that’s home to faux stock markets, weekly opinion polls, and ‘vital’ games industry statistics.
We’ve completely rebuilt our Tidbyt applet to match our new design language – it even has its own titleTags! We now show a short blurb as well as a headline, so you get even more gaming news at a glance.
See our applet on the Tidbyt Community GitHub page »
We’ve also made things easier for our writers and admins. Our new V2 menu provides instant access to everyday tasks, while our announcements box makes sure everyone’s informed about important goings-on.
