Coming Soon: High Scores

9th January 2010 at 12:30pm

I've been working hard the last few days to bring you high scores for games using the Mochi Scores API. There's a lot of work to do to implement them but the process is well underway! When I'm finished, you will be able to login to your account and save your high scores (including game achievement medals).

Play x2 Mode now available for all games

6th January 2010 at 11:42am

Play x2 Mode is basically the option where you can play the game at 2x the games default width/height. Mainly this feature was added for those with larger monitors, as well as for use with smaller resolution games.

Previously I had blocked games that would be very large in the 2x Mode from being able to be played in that mode, however I have decided that I will instead have 2x Mode open up in a new tab/window in order to provide maximum room on the screen for games as well as the ability for players to use the standard browser scrollbars if necessary.

Remember 2x Mode is merely an extra, you can always play the game in it's default size if you so desire by using the Play and Play (Window Mode) options.

New Front Page Features

4th January 2010 at 5:54am

After thinking about what everyone might find useful I decided it was time to update the front page.

I have made the following changes:
- Removed "Top 10 Games Last Month"
- Added "10 Random Games"
- Added "Top 100 Game Tags" (this should be really useful Big Grin

)
- Added "Ork Games on Facebook" so you can more easily become a fan (*hint* Wink

)
- Replaced "New Orks" with "Top Orks"
- Changed the look of the front page links from red to blue text (special thanks to "kcnh" for the suggestion!)

I've also changed the default avatar images to something more related to the Ork Games theme. I'd love to add more variety to the default avatar images and when I find the time to design them I will, but for now if anyone would like to contribute and has artistic skills send me an email or ork mail!

New Hosting

23rd December 2009 at 6:51pm

Due to having some issues with my previous web hosting company I elected to try a new hosting company - and so far the website feels much more fast. There were also issues with the OrkGames facebook application, such as it periodically not loading - I'm hoping the problem had to do with the old hosting and that the issue won't occur any longer.

I should mention that the domain OrkGames.com is currently going through DNS Propogation - if you can read this news on the OrkGames website then you are viewing the new hosting - however the facebook application for OrkGames may not yet be updated so if it doesn't load this may only be a temporary issue (up to 72 hours from now).

Now it's time to enjoy the great new flash games that are being uploaded!

Server Move

17th October 2009 at 12:19pm

Over the last 48 hours we have experienced some issues due to a server move within my hosting company. I apologize for the issues caused, such as the loss of data such as the last few user registrations and game submissions. I can only ask that you please sign up again as those accounts cannot be restored.

We're still in the middle of trying to identifying other issues and restoring the website, so if you notice any bugs please report them via the contact us page, under the Help/FAQ menu. Thank you.

Ork Games now on Facebook

9th October 2009 at 4:19am

Ork Games is now available on Facebook.

You can go here to add it to your facebook account:
apps.facebook.com/orkgames/

This means that whenever you submit a game to OrkGames.com, your game will also be available at our Ork Games application on Facebook. Users can post games to their profile - this means greater exposure, and also ease of use for those playing/looking for games.

Be sure to invite your friends to use the application and add it to your profile page by the "Add to Profile" button on the top of the screen just right of the "Ork Games on Facebook" logo.

As it has just been launched, please be aware that it may contain some minor bugs, so please do report anything you find via the contact us page on this website or just leave a comment to this news post. Thank you.

I hope this facebook application will assist the gaming community in many ways! Enjoy!

We're Back Online!

13th September 2009 at 1:23am

Hello Everyone,

Ork Games was previously down (offline) for the last 10+ days. Unfortunately, this was out of my hands. I had to wait until my (now former) web host came back online after being completely offline and unreachable until just a few days ago. This meant that I had no choice but to find a new web host and then wait until I could transfer my files, due to my former web host not having access to the files until recently.

The good news is that we're back online and have a great new web host that should prove to be more reliable - but with most things, only time will tell!

I look forward to seeing some new game submissions, and do spread the word that Ork Games is now back online and hopefully problem free forever. Tongue
