I’ve wanted to use an “Under Construction” gif for the last 11 years since my Geocities account ran out. Consider that bucket list item checked off.
We have a bunch of great things happening on SideQuesting. We’ve been kickin’ it for nearly six years writing about games, producing some incredible pieces over that time. Over the last couple of years we were bitten by a more traditional game blog bug, jumping into reporting news and media as well as reviewing everything we could fit into our schedules.
That’s been fun, for sure, but it’s also a bit taxing for a group of friends who don’t focus their time 100% on writing about games. We have lives, families, school, and jobs to factor in.
So we’re pulling a bit back on a lot of the news reporting, at least much of the quick-hit blog posts of breaking news or trailers. We’re going to figure out a better way to report that kind of stuff, since everyone else is already doing it and we don’t want to continually add to noise. There may be times we DO include work like that (at E3, press conferences) but it might be minimal.
Instead, we’re going back to focusing on more of the amazing individual writers on the site. That means we’ll be doing more feature work, more videos, streaming, podcasts, etc. You’ll potentially see reviews for specific games by more than one writer. Each of us have our own voice, and our own opinions, and our own ideas, and so assigning one person to speak for the entire site’s thoughts about a game seems a little silly for us to do.
After over three years of the current design, it’s time we examine changing that as well. If you’ve noticed that content has been sparse these last few weeks, it’s because we’ve been hammering away behind the scenes to create an entirely new layout for the website. We’ll have a few posts go up over the next week or so, but soon after we’ll debut the next version of SideQuesting. We’ve been taking down pages often, so if you’re looking for something in particular (reviews, articles, author pages, policies) they may have been removed for the time being while we update everything.
Anyhoo, these next few weeks will be a ton of fun as we debut the new site and get back to creating the amazing original content that we’ve been known for! Stick tuned!
