I have an idea.
January 27th, 2009 by JesseThis is going to take the effort of everybody, their mother, and their second cousin.
I’m working on the plans for an ultimate database for all videogame knowledge. I’ve seen wikia.com, which is highly detailed and caters to specific games, but no developers or anything else. Wikipedia has more widespread topics, but not as much detail. I want to mish-mash the two, and add even more topics that aren’t on either one. Games, developers, publishers, publications (online and print), individual journalists and their works, books, tools for development, consoles, peripherals, accessories, any known trivia or information about each topic, collectibles, toys, and lingo/jargon used in the game industry and among gamers (i.e., pwn, frag).
This will the a lot of effort and I would assume may touch in the hundreds of thousands of pages, but would serve as an ultimate database for anyone to find accurate information, and would be an invaluable resource for journalists.
Who’s in?
