How to request games to be added to database?

I have to look into the Icewind Dale: Trials of the Luremaster expansion, and check with @peter or @headrollsoff, because I am unsure if this expansion counts as a standalone release. I will get back to you on that.

Thank you! Since the Heart of Winter expansion is already in there, I figured ToL should be as well. Black Isle called it an expansion, but on second thought, I suspect it would probably be considered DLC if released today. Kind of a hard distinction to make here, I think, so I’ll be interested to hear what they say.

Appreciate your time!

I think I would lean toward it being DLC and not having a separate entry. Some of those older ones are not very consistent with how the extra content is treated. Could you play it without the base game? If not, then it probably should not have its own entry.

Jeslie · April 5, 2016, 2:32am

It looks like you need to visit an area in the base game to get to the new content, so I think you’re right. I wish there was a way to track DLC completion as well, then, but that’s another subject!

Yeah, I struggle with that. Even recently with new content coming out for Mortal Kombat X or the fact that a second demo just came out for Final Fantasy XV. I don’t know how to satisfactorily show that in my account.

I agree with that sentiment. Especially given Platinum Demo. I’m struggling with that one because, in effect, it is a self contained game that previews FFXV, rather than a demo in the traditional sense. It is similar to P.T., which I would argue deserves an entry in the Grouvee database. These playable trailers are, in effect, very short games. I recognize that this would carry lengthy discussion on the matter, but I do think they disrupt the model of demo to which we have been accustomed.

Regarding Trials of the Luremaster, the reason I hesitated was due to this description (my emphasis):

The Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter Downloadable Dungeon Set is a free expansion pack for Black Isle Studios’ Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter role playing game.

In response to some players wanting more game experience from Icewind Dale and Heart of Winter, Black Isle Studios developed a free, downloadable dungeon pack add-on for customers of Heart of Winter. The pack is sized at 72MB, and plugs directly into the game, provided Heart of Winter is installed. This expansion set includes several new monsters, quests, items, areas and portraits, as well as a brand new adventure.

Hi, I’m not sure but it seems S.L.A.I.: Steel Lancer Arena International for PS2 is missing. I can’t find it when I type different combinations of the title.

Looks like it already exists. I added an alias in the database so when you search for Steel Lancer Arena International, it will come up as well. You can find it here:

and

Croc’s world 3 appears available on the Marketplace

If you can track down better thumbnails let me know. What I found was acceptable but not fantastic. I can update them with something better if available. .

I added the publisher / developer to the database and Croc’s World as a franchise as well and then edited them all to include that info.

I’ve replaced 2 out of 3.

headrollsoff · April 11, 2016, 7:20pm

That looks way better.

Looks good. I was having a terrible time locating something decent in Google Images and on the various stores where the games are available.
