The media Upload should be made better.
I tried to upload some music tracks and saw, that every music title needs a tumbnail in two sizes.
Why does every Song need an image explaining the song? - I understand it for sprites or models but not for sounds or music. BTW its urgent, if you don't give an image, you can't upload...
Then there is no simple sound editor, to make a custom preview cut, without rendering a custom one
with software including Fade in and Fade out. There are great snippets for those tasks on php learing sites, it would be awesome if the store could use something similar.
Why should I zip a compressed .OGG and put it in a directory?
Serverside PHP script will do this easily, with ffmpeg you can also convert sound formats, if not uploaded as OGG.
You can even use a rasbi pi for the mmpeg convert, just sent the files to the rasbi and create a work stack. Can be a simple php/c++ script for this operation and will help
content makers to upload their work better.
I was rejected and told, that AppGameKit has currently no music option in the store, I should format my zip file according to GameGURU rules and it was quite confusing, after I saw this thread.
Please, stop that upload rules stuff, and make it like:
If you upload your stuff by the rules, it will get quicker in the store, if you do not do it, it will maybe take some days in the converter stack.
I write my critics, because I think that a TGC online store for assets is a very good idea.
But it can be very frustrating for content creators, if there are specific rules, that can be done using a script.
