It's been a busy summer at MobyGames. Rather than just a list of updates, we've compiled the highlights into a video so you can see the changes in action. Check it out!

The big news this summer is the Professional subscription tier. It includes MobyPlus and Hobbyist API access, and provides features designed for members of the game industry, including job listings, updates related to games you worked on, and the ability to customize your portfolio to show off your best work. If you're credited on a game, claim your profile to gain access to the features we provide to all developers, and check out the free 45-day trial of MobyGames Professional.

MobyGames records game credits, but those don't tell the whole story. Now, we've added a dedicated space for each game you're credited on, so you can add context to that credit.

You can use this space to talk about the specific work you did, tell an anecdote about your time on the project, or set the record straight when the credits don't reflect what you really contributed.

As always, the record of games you're credited on is built from complete credit listings added by our contributors, drawn from the best sources available to us, such as game manuals, in-game credit rolls, or official websites, and verified by our approvers.

If you haven't already, claim your profile to get access to this and other useful features. We're working on more features for developers who have claimed their profiles, so watch this space for updates.

It's been a while since we posted one of these updates, but not for a lack of activity. In fact, there's been too much to cover in a single news post! We'll post an introduction to the bigger updates soon, but today, let's have an overview of some of the general fixes, improvements, and smaller new features since our last update.
