Things are pretty free-form here but if you want to try something specific, we have a bunch of games in the 2015 range that had "slightly larger" thumbnails in the system, but not large enough for the current format. When switched to the larger format, these games had their thumbnails processed to fit the new site but they don't look ideal.


Here's an example from January 2015, using our custom date range sort:


https://www.newgrounds.com/games/popular?sort=views&genre=0&after=2015-01-01&before=2015-02-02


iu_942247_1.webp


Notice how Shop Empire 3, Strikeforce Kitty 2 and Tangerine Tycoon have awkward thumbnails. If you have NG Player (or if the games are running via Ruffle) you could try making new thumbnails for those.


Alternatively, most really old content already runs in Ruffle and a lot of it has missing or small thumbnails, if you'd want to try those! Here's January 2005 for an example:


https://www.newgrounds.com/games/popular?sort=views&genre=0&after=2005-01-01&before=2005-02-02


iu_942249_1.webp


The tank logo means there is no thumbnail on file and in the case of thumbnails that are slightly taller, these are the old 140x90 thumbnails being scaled up in-page - these could also get replaced with proper hi-res thumbnails and it would correct the aspect ratio.

Alright, thank you very much. I actually have finished one already and it's currently in my dumping grounds.

good job!

a small bit of tweaking so that you can see how things work iu_942311_1892271.webp


the final work could even be pre-zoomed to look something like this... iu_942312_1892271.webp


pixels and sizes of things are weird


you got this, it took me a while to figure this out by myself

I mean, I don't see any pixelization or loss of detail like it used to be, and the image comes up pretty large when I put it in Dumping Grounds or in a post, but if you would like I will attempt to size it up even more if you would like.

I updated all the thumbnails, but only used these two submissions. The others were too different or not really better than the thumbnails they were replacing, other than being higher resolution, such as the eye or the AFX logo (which is off-center and still had an interface for volume control visible). The thumbnail submission for Bill Clinton I couldn't access at all, because I have to be logged in on DeviantART to see it.

I'm just clicking through the years worth of required icons and I clicked into 2012-14...

WOW that was a mistake to venture into those forsaken years


The average number of required thumbnails from 2003 to 2011 is roughly 1200-1600/year

in 2012-14 it jumped to roughly 500/month because of icons getting shrunk


Then it piddles out to nearly nothing in 2015 and onward


*wheez*
