Where Classic Games Hub is heading next.
A living plan of what we're building. Everything here is an idea or an intention — not a promise. Plans shift, features ship early or get dropped, and your feedback genuinely changes what comes next. Have a suggestion? Tell us on Discord.
The release that makes your profile unmistakably yours and the community feel alive: Discord-grade cosmetics, expressive identity, richer friendships, group chats, a modern messenger, and a shop and inventory that are finally a pleasure to use.
Your profile should say who you are before you type a word. We're taking cues from Discord, Roblox, Steam and the big social platforms — layered, expressive, and never pay-to-win.
Your equipped nameplate stops living only on your profile page and follows you across the whole site — search results, friends lists, leaderboards, chat headers and message bubbles — so people recognise you instantly wherever you show up.
Discord-style avatar decorations that render everywhere your avatar appears: animated frames, orbiting particles, soft pulsing glows and looping effects. Layered above your picture and tuned to stay readable at small sizes.
Banners scale with how invested you are: a clean solid colour for email-only accounts; animated gradients and a curated library of premade art for Discord-linked players; and full custom PNG/JPEG uploads (with sensible size limits and moderation) for server boosters.
A real effects engine, not just a flair badge. Pick a background colour or gradient, add ambient animated layers (falling snow, drifting stars, aurora, embers, confetti), set intensity, and stack multiple accents together for a look that's genuinely yours.
Recolour your whole profile card — buttons, highlights and dividers — with a curated accent theme, so a visitor feels your vibe the moment the page loads. Hand-picked palettes only, so nothing ever clashes.
Optional Discord-like decorative frames around your entire profile card — seasonal, achievement-gated and cosmetic-shop variants.
A curated set of display fonts plus particle, glow, shimmer and gradient treatments for your name — expressive but always legible.
Steam-style showcases: pin your rarest cosmetics, proudest achievements, favourite games and best scores to the top of your profile so the first thing people see is what you're proud of.
Choose one achievement to headline your profile with its full art and rarity.
Optional profile fields — pronouns, a one-line status, favourite game, join date and a short bio — arranged as tidy widgets you can show or hide.
Every cosmetic gets a rarity — common through mythic — with matching visual treatment and a clear label in the shop and inventory, so rare items actually feel rare.
Genuinely special, unbuyable cosmetics for admins, mods and developers — distinct animated nameplates, frames and decorations — so staff are recognisable at a glance and the role feels earned.
An optional 'Connect' button that surfaces your Discord for verified players who want it shown — off by default, entirely your call.
A backlog of stretch cosmetics inspired by the platforms we love: profile entrance animations, custom cursor trails on your page, an optional profile-view counter, a mini 'now playing' game widget, and short looping profile music (from the v1.3 track library).
Make the hub somewhere you come to hang out, not just to play.
See the friends you have in common with someone — shown only for users who choose to make their friends list visible, so it's discovery without exposure.
A lightweight one-way follow alongside two-way friendships — keep up with players you admire without needing them to accept, and they're notified when you do.
Per-user control over who can see your friends list: private, friends only, followers, or fully public.
Set a private nickname for a friend that only you see, and leave a private note on anyone's profile as a personal reminder of who they are.
Create a group with a shareable invite link (e.g. /invite/<groupId>), managed by a group admin who can add, remove and promote members. Limited to boosters, mods and admins at first to keep it clean and spam-free.
Rework messaging to feel like WhatsApp — minus file/image/video/audio sharing and calls: clean threads, emoji reactions, replies, pinned and favourite chats, and delivered/seen receipts done right.
A proper emoji picker and a solid mobile typing experience across the site — including fixing the frustrating built-in keyboard in Snakes & Ladders while we're in there.
Post text or an achievement to a story that expires after a day. Boosters, mods and admins only for now while we prove out the format and moderation.
Upgrade online status to online / offline / do-not-disturb / sleep, add a 'last online' time, and even an optional 'playing now' game — each with fine-grained controls over exactly who can see it.
An opt-in feed of what friends are up to — new achievements, level-ups and personal-best scores — respecting everyone's visibility settings.
Add store items to a wishlist you can view and manage from your inventory, and gift items to other players at 75% of the normal price — deliberately cheaper than buying for yourself, so gifting is the generous and the smart move.
Buying, previewing and managing cosmetics should be effortless — and fun.
Click any shop item to open a full preview page (in a new tab) that renders the effect live — see exactly how a nameplate, banner, effect or decoration looks on a real profile before you spend a single credit.
Already own an item? Apply it to your profile or avatar right from the shop page — no detour through the inventory required.
A search bar plus filters — by cost, rarity/exclusivity, date acquired and item type — so even a huge collection stays easy to browse and organise.
Fix the boost countdown timer and multiplier readout so active boosts always show the correct time remaining and the true stacked multiplier at a glance.
A proper mobile hamburger menu — today's bar is far too cramped for the space — plus a cleaner desktop nav with more breathing room between items, better spacing and smoother animations. It should simply look and feel good.
A rebuilt inventory with clear 'applied' indicators on every item, one-tap apply/disable, and saved loadout presets so you can switch your entire look — banner, nameplate, effects and name style — in a single tap.
Spin up an event and set things like a credit multiplier, duration and banner in a couple of clicks — no fiddly config.
Give or take XP, credits and levels from the admin panel with far less friction — search a player, adjust, done, with an audit trail.
Detect the player's device and show on-screen touch controls on mobile and keyboard/desktop hints on desktop automatically — whichever they're actually using, without a manual toggle.
A small polish release on top of v1.2.0: richer notifications, linkable announcements, a redesigned podium and a handful of quality-of-life fixes.
Tap any notification to open it in full — the complete message, the exact date and time it was sent, and an Open button when a link is attached. Opening marks it read.
Admins can attach a call-to-action link to an announcement, and publishing with 'Notify everyone' now actually sends a notification (with that link) to every player — the toggle previously did nothing.
The global leaderboard's top three now sit on a proper tiered gold/silver/bronze podium with rank badges, a crowned #1 and equipped nameplates.
Group conversations gained a header menu to copy the invite link again or leave the group.
Turn the hub into somewhere players return to for years, not weeks: original music, stacking events, long-term streaks, deep booster and level rewards, and a proper analytics + ads control centre.
Daily streaks alone won't hold someone for a year — these loops are designed to.
Server-wide co-op goals where everyone pulls in the same direction — e.g. 'play 500 games together this weekend' — with a live progress bar and an achievement plus bonus credits for everyone who took part.
Hitting a level milestone unlocks a real feature, giving levelling a point beyond a number. A first-draft ladder: L5 buy background music · L10 create groups · L15 stories · L20 extra loadout preset slots · L30 a vanity profile URL · L50 an exclusive mythic cosmetic. Gating features like groups behind levels also quietly fights spam.
A Snapchat-style daily streak, but with messages instead of images — keep a conversation going day after day with a friend to build a streak and earn rewards, giving people a reason to check in on each other.
Collectable cosmetic sets and seasonal passes with a fresh theme each season, so there's always a longer-term goal to chip away at and a reason to come back after a break.
Boosters keep the community's home running — the perks should feel genuinely worth it, while never becoming pay-to-win.
Two extra daily challenges on top of everyone else's — more ways to earn, every day.
An exclusive cosmetic every month you're boosting — a nameplate, decoration or effect that only boosters of that month receive, so the collection tells a story over time.
The Booster badge evolves the longer you've boosted (1 month → 3 → 6 → 12), with a visibly fancier treatment at each tier to recognise loyalty.
A larger daily reward and a faster-growing streak multiplier while your boost is active.
A head start on new games and features — try them a week before everyone else and help shape them before launch.
A free token each month to gift a temporary cosmetic to a friend — spread the perks and pull friends in.
Claim a custom profile link (e.g. /u/yourname) while you're boosting.
Level 5+ players can buy original 'tracks' from the shop and play them in the background while they browse and play. Every track is composed in-house, so there are zero copyright concerns — and boosters can set one as their profile theme song.
Credit boosts stack up to 5× (10× for Discord boosters). Buy another beyond the cap and it doesn't go to waste — it joins an effect queue and automatically takes over the moment the current boost runs out, so your boosts are always working.
More life and motion across the whole site — page transitions, micro-interactions and celebratory moments — paired with a genuinely well-optimised, snappy experience for players who prefer animations off.
A dedicated admin section for analytics — site clicks, popular games, active players, retention and revenue — alongside full ad controls: force-shutdown all ads instantly, choose where ads appear, and tune placements without touching code.
Manage this very roadmap from the admin dashboard — add, edit and reorder releases and items without touching code, so plans stay fresh with a few clicks.
Ads are planned to run through NitroPay (nitropay.com), wired so they can be paused or relocated entirely from the admin ads centre. Pending final evaluation.
The big games update: a step into 3D, real multiplayer with parties, and store-decorated avatars that show up when you play together — plus admin control over the home screen itself.
Beyond the 2D arcade — fully playable 3D games in the browser.
Browser-based 3D titles running smoothly on desktop and mobile — think a racing game, a Rubik's cube and more — bringing a whole new dimension to the arcade.
Play with other people — across accounts online, or on one device in the same room.
Games multiple people can play together — either online across accounts or locally on one device (pass-and-play). Noughts & crosses works either way; the racing game is online-only.
Group up into a party to jump into multiplayer games together, with invites and a shared lobby — the social backbone that multiplayer is built on.
Decorate your avatar — your profile picture — with items bought from the store, so you show up in style in multiplayer lobbies and parties.
Rearrange the homepage straight from the admin dashboard — move the daily reward to the bottom, reorder 'Continue playing' and 'Featured games', and lay the home screen out however works best.
Every feature that lands has to clear the same bar before it's considered done:
