What about more movie genres?
- Horror
For grotesque, scary flashes. Like ones made by SickDeathFiend and others
- Fighting/ Brawlers
Just look at how many stick fights and sprite fighting movies there are
We are hoping the TAG system will manage a lot of this. Eventually we will highlight specific prominent collections for mediums such as STICKS, CLAY, etc... At this point artists could know which tags to use to fit into those categories. The ACTION category is currently a good place for stick fights, Madness tributes, etc...
There are already looming questions like, is Fallen Angel ACTION or DRAMA. Is The Assumption Song a MUSIC VIDEO or COMEDY. Eventually we might have to just allow two categorizations... For now we're trying to not go overboard.
I'm trying to be careful not to mesh mediums and themes with the general categories. For example, SCI FI can be DRAMA or COMEDY or ACTION... So we wouldn't want SCI FI to be alongside those categories, we would want it to be its own note alongside a submission, as a tag.
With games, we can manage to get into smaller sub-categories, although there are still submissions that cross borders. But we treat it differently... Like any game type could be COMEDY, so for a game, you might actually want to tag it as COMEDY... It's like a total reversal of movies, but games and movies are very different things and we're trying to approach this in a way that best caters to how they should be sorted.
