Delicious-Fruit.com

Category:Resources
Delicious-Fruit.com, also known as DelFruit or fangam.es/ is an I Wanna Be The Guy Fangame rating and review website. The name of the website is in reference to the red fruit like hazards found in the original IWBTG, called "Delicious Fruit" in the game's intro. It was developed by Klazen108 and was first made public in February of 2015. As of the time of writing this, the website hosts over 81,900 reviews and offers links to pages for over 12,500 fangames.
== Development ==
The development for Delicious-Fruit started back in 2014, during which the only way to easily share and download fangames would be to go to the Atwiki and scroll through a text list of every game submitted. Tehjman1993 approached Klazen108 about making a better system for this, to which they (with the help of PatrickGH3 and other members of The Wannabes) created the website. As of writing this, a few members of the current moderation staff for the website include: Klazen108, Starz0r, pieceofcheese87, PlasmaNapkin, GaspacoZanis, shign, CanusAntonius

==== Reviewing ====
Reviewing a game allows you to add one or more of the following to a game:
* Your personal quality rating
* Your personal difficulty rating
* A review of the game
* Tags
When leaving a review, you are able to spoiler tag certain parts of the game which you would like to mention while not ruining the experience for others. You are also able to add any tag you wish to a game, regardless of if it has been used before or not. A complete list of user submitted tags can be found by doing an advanced search and clicking "Show Existing Tags".
Additionally, if you are leaving a review for a game you yourself have released, a delfruit moderator may give your review a [Creator] tag. This tag cannot be added by anyone who isn't a moderator, however you can report a review with the intention of having the tag added to it in the event that delfruit moderation has missed it.
== Removed or Updated Features ==
Throughout the lifespan of the website, several features have been added and later removed. Some notable ones include:

* HTML markup support in reviews left on games.
* Wannabe of the Month, a monthly article written in the DelFruit News highlighting a various member of the twitch team "The Wannabes"

== Trivia ==
* The image of the delicious fruit used in the delfruit logo is named "cherry.gif"
* Delicious-Fruit is not an exhaustive list of every fangame, as several games have been removed from the database for various reasons, typically for containing content which may be found objectionable or suspected to be illegal by nature. Games may also be removed by authors on their own behalf, if they so please.
* The owner of the website, Klazen108, has been notoriously hard to contact regarding service issues to the website. As such, it will occasionally go down for any length of time ranging from a few minutes to several days.
* It is unknown why certain aspects of the website have been restricted to being logged in, such as viewing the release date of a game or reporting a review to moderation.
**One thought is to give tags for reports and uploads to be able to trace them back to a user, however the release date still remains in question
* Due to the rather haphazard nature of the website, there have been several conversations about making a hypothetical "Delicious-Fruit 2" over the years, with the most recent and most popular attempt being directed by Starz0r. More information can be found here.
* The list of most recent games on the front page used to only display 10 games, however it was updated both to allow for games with longer titles to not completely break the structure and to meet the influx of fangames being submitted to the I Wanna Wiki being transferred over.
* The game "Designer L's Wacky Randventure!" has special implementation to reflect a joke presented in the game, that being randomly generated reviews submitted on February 30th, 2020. All reviews submitted to the page will have their date changed to reflect this.
* The search function will take whatever input presented and show all results that contain this string. As such, it is impossible to search for game names which are entirely contained within another game's name. An example of this is the game Needle, which if searched for will show over 600 results of other games containing the word "Needle" in their title.
* The first review left on the website still up is by "xElectricZz" on the game "I wanna kill the Weston Douglas Jones", giving the game a 10/10 for quality and a 42/100 for difficulty.
* Tags were not added to the site until February 26th, 2015. When first added, they contained a list of built in defaults, which were as follows: Adventure, Needle, Avoidance, Trap, Gimmick, Medley, Boss, Secrets, 100_Floor, Miku, Engine
*The timezone set for keeping time for things on delfruit is actually UTC+19:48. As in, 0:00 UTC would be 19:48 delfruit time. The reason for this is unclear.
*The flavor text for a 100 difficulty rated fangame, "There's No Way!", is a reference to a clip from the player CasualCrap while attempting to beat the first boss in TIS. While the original clip has been lost, an archive of a meme edit of the clip can be found here.
*A few other translations of the website have been made, however they would need to be implemented by Klazen108 and thus have gone unused.
*Due to the way the Submit a Game page works, all makers listed get merged into one run on maker name regardless of how it gets formatted. Website moderators need to manually go into the page and separate them.
**For example, if you submit a game made by User, Person, and Maker, it would appear as one new author: "User Person Maker". The moderators then go into the page and separate it into 3 different maker pages.
*Due to an influx of short games submitted under the username y*p, where the '*' is any miscellaneous symbol, there is a filter put in that adds their games without a download link at first with the intention to be added later by a moderator in order to not flood the Newest Fangames section.
*In the event that a review or user gets deleted, any tags left by them will be removed from pages. Despite this, the tag's metadata is still present on the game, and the game will show up when searched for with this tag despite the review and tag no longer appearing on the page.
**If a user gets deleted entirely, any screenshots from them will be credited to "Anonymous."
