Introducing The Spotlight

[Rachael]

As you may have noticed, certain people on the forum have a different color in their name, and suddenly a new subforum has appeared. Additionally, a new section has appeared on the ZDoom main page.

Well - leodoom85 and m8f now lead a new team called The Spotlight! This team is meant to showcase mods created by the community and give reviews of them. Anyone can be a part of the team, but the leadership selected for the team was purposely non-staff members (thereby to reduce bias).

Any mod can appear in the spotlight - good or bad - and writers will give an honest review (and a critique) about the things they think could use improvement.

If you're looking for new mods to play, check this out every once in a while!

This is super-cool; thanks for setting this up!

It's been a while since i looked at the website's source code, but IIRC the Blog and News sections use the same base template/class/thingy and just point to a forum to pull data from. That means it's probably trivial to set up a "Spotlight" tab on the front page that shows stuff from the new forum. Might be a nice n' easy way to do a form of that mod-showcase idea we talked about way back when.

Yeah, that was the plan.

Updated the post to highlight the new zdoom.org section dedicated to this.

Sounds like a pretty useful feature, kudos

Don't be afraid to reply to topics in the Spotlight section. It would be nice to see some community feedback with specific mods.
