Also, maybe you should replace the ID in the URL with a tag so instead of pressing search and typing a user could just go to http://game-graph.appspot.com/?id=dwarf_fortress and get to the desired game's page?

Maybe, but is there a point to it (except for making URL look readable)?

Anyway, neat thing here, I look forward to seeing how it develops.

Okay, so I've added a "Suggest relation" button. The interface might need some tweaking (as usual) but it is working.

The way it works right now is that: anyone can suggest to add or remove a relation but it has to be approved before it becomes visible in the chart. The approvals and rejections will be handled by a few chosen champions of humankind (just me for a while, but I'm guessing I'd need someone else to volunteer for that a bit later).

It is probably not the best way to handle adding new relations but the more elaborate ways are somewhat harder to implement since there are limitations (from the platform itself (Google AppEngine), from me being Perl programmer and being kind of uncomfortable with Python, having some free time and motivation issues, etc.). Maybe I'll do something nicer later.

Right I'm not planning to implement an interface to add new games since there is quite a lot of games in the database already, even not-so-well-known ones. But I might do it some time later.

So, go ahead and add some missing relations.

Oh, sorry. I've misread this the previous time. No, I think I won't do that - it is not possible to guess the exact title for every game in the DB (especially the ones having more than 3 words in a title), that's why I implemented the search. Thanks for pointing out, ein.

This needs a sticky. Big time. Otherwise its going to get lost and never improved.

Yeah, a sticky would be really great.

I've added facebook and twitter buttons. Everyone is welcome to go and press them. Posting the link in other gaming forms/communities would also be nice.

Also, would there be anyone to volunteer for making a short (1-2 min.) video on how to use it? To be specific, someone who doesn't have a strong foreign accent (unlike me).
