RE: Press kits etc

Hello, and welcome to PidgiWiki! I'm glad you've found us. I know just the person who would love to talk with you about press kits: one of our members, Gaz. He's working on doing a bunch of press and web archival!

Unfortunately, my backup drive isn't accessible at the moment, so I can't check exactly what I've got out of the things you've got, but I know I have some things you don't have vice versa. Shoot me an email at immewnity[at]outlook.com and we can talk press stuff much more easily.

As far as what the site can do, it currently isn't set up to do videos, unfortunately. It's something I'd like to do in the future, but there are currently a few roadblocks to make it happen right now. Gameplay images (such as screenshots) are definitely acceptable! Just put "Screenshot" as the value for Purpose while uploading.

PSD files are accepted, too, but since they don't thumbnail, I try to keep images to single-layer files (though I think multi-layer TIFF files thumbnail). Feel free to upload the PSDs though, and when time permits, I'll get them converted over to PNG.

Thanks, and welcome again to PidgiWiki!--immewnity (talk) 14:59, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi! Yes, the FTP still exists - send me an email at the address above and I'll get you the login info.

As far as screenshot naming, just put "(screenshot)" after the name of the screenshot. I've edited the one you've uploaded already as an example. This is just to lessen possible naming conflicts between things.--immewnity (talk) 05:23, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Oh hey, Immewnity, I didn't know we allow screenshot uploads here. Last time I asked DK screenshot requests, you said that idea was dropped because it got too confusing. Do you want to explain to me when screenshot uploads were allowed? Gaz (talk) 05:34, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Fields

Yes to characters in screenshots, yes to the events, and yes to date. There used to be a date variable, I just could never figure out a good format for it. I'll add it in a bit. For now, you can manually add it, and use any of the formats listed here.--immewnity (talk) 14:34, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
