I’ve been doing some thinking about how we will support this site with ads, while not having them be completely intrusive to the end user. I am planning on having 3 levels of advertising on the website, all of which can be turned off complete.
Things like the Price Comparison tool that I am building will be placed into the lowest level of…[Read more]

Patreon does have the option for being paid ‘per item’ rather than a monthly fee, so there is that option, though they make it sound as if almost everyone goes for the monthly subscription deal. There is no mixed option, its one or the other. I think part of this is because the people who really use patreon the most are hopeful to turn this into a…[Read more]

I get asked a lot of questions about our site all the time, not just about how the site will make money to stay in business, but also what benefits are there for being a content creator for gamelust? I had a really good chat with an industry veteran these past days and he indirectly gave me a very good idea how we can help out game journalists who…[Read more]

One other thing, I think this article will re-appear in these forums at some point, but reworded as a guide of what to avoid while posting content on our site.

When I went to post this I decided to inquire with someone I had met on reddit who has been very helpful towards people who want to become games journalists. I wanted to know what he thought of the topic, and after some discussion with him over the past 12 hours, I have decided that if I were to publish this article, I would be no better than the…[Read more]

It’s definitely not a good place to be in, they have an opportunity to remind everyone why they’re so beloved, but don’t seem poised to take advantage of it. I will say I am not worried that they will pull a Sega and give up early without one hell of a fight. Then again, who would have thought Sega would kill their best console before it could…[Read more]

LOL, yeah the article 18 million Xbox Ones article is referenced as well. I thought it was hilariously bad and can’t believe they haven’t yet deleted it.

Yeah, your comment was saved. It just didn’t show up because it seems any comment that contains a link automatically gets moderated just to protect us from spam. I’ll address that sometime in the future, still working on getting our form of ‘advertising’ up on the site.

One of the questions that I get asked the most often is how will gamelust make money, how will it support itself. A long time ago this site was known as XBLGamer.com, and while I was trying to build up the site using the same concepts that are the foundation of gamelust, we had a small miracle land in our laps. I don’t know how, but I managed to…[Read more]

I felt that the article was ready to go, though after a little bit more thought I don’t think it quite hits the points I want it to hit. I have put the article back into draft status until I can get the message across better.

It took a while, but this article has finally been written, my co-worker will be creating an image for the article for me tomorrow so it can be featured. You will find it in the news list on the left side of the page, or in the news section found in the top nav.

This update is complete. You can now click the up and down arrows or their values to upvote or downvote an article, the numbers will change instantly, though the icons on the right side will not. I will address that in a future update. I was considering emailing the author but will save that feature for later, planning on sending out daily emails…[Read more]

Turns out it was less of a hassle this time than before. Guess I can turn it back on. YAY, now I can clean that fucker up….next week! lol
Need to figure out how to integrate some of the features into the top nav as well, make it obvious when you have a new message or comments and likes.

Yeah, I wanted to have 4 across on either side so I’ll probably reduce the size a little bit. I don’t want them to be super small like Gamespot has, and I do want them to stand out, just have to find the right balance.

I’ve laid the groundwork for the user voting system on articles & reviews, the pages now display the avatar of users who have voted(which should keep some of the negative nancies a bit more honest). I will do some more work on this tomorrow so that the voting buttons on the page will trigger the system. Voting is only available to register users.…[Read more]

Did some work on a feature I built a few months ago that would auto load content while scrolling the article lists found on the Home, Reviews, and News pages. Home Page now only loads 4 extra sets of content before the process is halted, while the Reviews and News pages will continue to load unlimited. This will allow the footer in the home page…[Read more]
