We've been working hard on the developer portal and just pushed out a live update and converted our contract to a digital contract that developers can view and sign in the portal. Think more Apple iTunes Connect instead of the crazy paper printing and scanning that we were doing before. Now we can focus more on getting games lined up rather than passing back scans of contracts...boring.

We pushed a minor update out this week. It all revolves around the addition of a marketing tab to our developer portal:
When developers upload new files, they will be prompted to send out a file update, but they can also visit this tab at any time to compose an email to all of their IGS customers/purchasers. This is obviously very needed to get all those important updates about new alpha/beta builds of McDroid, Gnomoria, etc. too. IGS approves/denies all emails so developers cannot abuse the system. The marketing tab will also only appear if your game has been sold to users.
Users can customize the emails that they will receive in their account:
All you need to do is uncheck any of the options or emails that you don't want to receive.

We pushed out a huge update to the entire site earlier in the week. A lot changed in the developer portal in order to facilitate the website changes.
First, there's a price field in your game details tab that you can fill in. We use this regular retail price to calculate how much buyers are saving during the checkout process.
One of the most substantial changes is that Bonus Games can now be added as BTA content. They are separate entries in gamer's wallets and steam, desura, gog keys can now be included as well.
If you have other games in our portal, you can just checkmark the ones that you want to offer as Beat the Average bonus games.
Finally, every bonus item that you upload should now have a thumbnail image and description associated with it.
Fill out the information and upload a thumbnail so that everything displays on the new sale page and in the new checkout.
