Submitting to the Resource sites can be tricky for some, but by following some basic steps, you can easily ensure that your submission will be approved.
Contents
What Is Not Acceptable
Your Own Character
Make sure that your submission is not a made up character. This only really applies to custom submissions, but it can also be if you've made a game and feel your content should be on the sites. It isn't your place to make that judgement, and in cases you like this, you'd be best off asking us first. We only accept content for media ripped from commercially released, or notably reputable released games. In terms of custom submissions, we only accept content surrounding things that appear within a game, or gaming related media (Such as Sonic the Hedgehog cartoons).
Stolen Content
We don't like thieves in real life, and we do not like them here. Please make sure that you actually ripped or made the content you're submitting, and didn't just simply find it on some other website and felt like you could just submit it and claim credit. We have a community in the hundreds of thousands, many of whom actively seek out stolen content. You will be caught, and you will be banned.
Game Icons
Game Icons use the same style across all sites. They are created by a 240px x 125px cropped screenshot from a game. The website itself inserts code surrounding the image to represent it in the form of a Game Icon.
Game Icons must be in either a .PNG or .GIF file format, and of high quality. Where possible, downsizing a screenshot should not occur, and should represent the game that it is being submitted for.
It is preferable that icons aren't taken from JPEG screenshots found on the web, and are instead from non-lossy format images.
Before creating an icon for your game, first check the other Resource sites. It's always possible that the other sites have the game already, and thus a usable icon. Simply copy the image URL or save the image, and use it with your submission.
