FurryGamesIndex (which may be abbreviated as FGI below) is a young, open community project. Our team is not very large. If you'd like to help, you're absolutely welcome to do so. There are 4 main ways to help the project, and any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
How can I help the project?
The number of maintainers and contributors is small and advances the FurryGamesIndex project in their own spare time. Therefore we may miss some great games or leave errors in some games or author entries. This is definitely not because we are biased against them. If you find us missing games or any errors, please contact us, we would appreciate it.
If you would like to sign up for a Github account and open a discussion thread on this repository at Issues, that would be great, but reports via Email or Telegram are also very welcome. Please go to the contact area below for details.
The final interface that FGI presents to the user is derived from processing the "FGI Game Database", "FGI Author Database", "FGI Tag Specifications", and other data files.
These data files are usually organized in a data serialization language called YAML, which is very easy to view and edit directly.
If you are interested, you can send edited YAML files directly to the FGI to add games/authors, fix errors in data files, etc. This is often a faster way to add games to the FGI database since it saves the maintainer or contributor time.
Please instead read this guide.
Our code base consists primarily of page rendering tools written in Python designed for FGI, and web interfaces written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript to present the end-user experience, as well as client-side logic such as search services and caching. If you have experience in any of these areas, you can send a Pull Request directly to this repository!
The maintainer can be contacted via Issues or other means to ask for clarification regarding the FGI codebase.
Pending problems can be found in the codebase by searching for TODO and FIXME.
We love the Furry culture community and hope to promote the development of Furry culture. Creators are at the heart of this culture. That's what we're doing: bringing the work of game creators to a wider audience, which we hope that this will bring positive feedback to game creators. We also hope to make it easier for more furries to discover games. If you'd like to help us, please tell your friends about FurryGamesIndex.
We promise that we will always be a non-profit project and always rooted in the community.
