London based social networking site for gamers Playfire.com has today released a major update to their popular trophy card system. In the backdrop of three new trophy patches hitting the console for Warhawk, NovaStrike, and PAIN, Playfire has created a new slim alternative (see below) that 's designed specifically for forum signature spaces and other vertically constrained areas, along with a number of new themes for both the new and original versions.
But the update doesn't stop there! In addition to the new size, the team has introduced automated level calculation based on the number & type of trophies you have (bronze, silver, gold etc) combined with a nifty progress bar representing your progress towards your next level. The interface for adding trophies has also been completely revamped, styled & simplified making adding trophies even quicker and easier than before.
In addition to the new slim widget, the team has also updated their original widget with five brand new themes (see below) -- Pain, Mirror's Edge, Buzz Quiz TV, NovaStrike & PLAYSTATION 3.
And for all you budding designers out there, Playfire is now accepting theme submissions! So if you fancy submitting a new trophy card theme for the official Playfire roster, then your next step should be to download the official trophy card template here. Once you’ve polished your design to perfection, you then just need to email your submission to abby [at] playfire [dot] com.
Amid rumors it was looking to sell Eve Online developer CCP Games, Pearl Abyss has given a statement to Insider Gaming.
"A God sandbox, meets micromanagement simulator? Sign me up! Think Black & White meets Theme Hospital, and when you add in the cartoonish humour of Worms you might just find yourself in a gaming Utopia Sintopia." Thumb Culture
