Picture of game???

Just out of interest, when your looking through different projects it comes up with a screen shot of the project. My project Tinie Man Survival is in the Games of Glory gallery, but it just doesn't have a decent picture that would make people click on it. Any help???

Thanks in advance!

Re: Picture of game???

I a little confused about what your asking. Do you want to change the picture (by the way it's called a thumbnail), but don't know how... or do you want to change the thumbnail, but don't know what to change it to.

You have to save it with the screen looking a certain way.  In other words, you have to save it and make sure the screen looks like what you want it to before continuing.

Re: Picture of game???

The picture will be exactly how the stage looks the moment you save/share it, so arrange the sprites to look nice before sharing/saving.  Unfortunately, you cannot change the picture once uploaded, even through updating.

That's not true. My project, More Scratch the Cat Sprites, updated the thumbnail when I took some requests (Lucario and Falco). Right now I just added another, but it has not updated the thumbnail. So it does take some time, but can be changed.

Oh, I guess I just never took the time to see if the picture would change.  Hooray for impatience!

Re: Picture of game???

Like people said, the screenshot your project will have is how it looks when you upload it, so if you want your picture to be interesting, put the game on an interesting background before you upload.

It just updated overnight for me, so I guess it varies.
