I'm a completely new member (joined yesterday or so?) and haven't explored quite a bit, so this is mostly just my reactions to the site as a total newbie. But...So far, I do love it and have feedback. If it's repetitive, I apologize in advance.
What I like:
1. The friendly people! Seriously, so many people have welcomed me already, staff and non-staff alike. It makes me smile. As this is meant to be a community, it really shows it off well!
2. The resources. I find it neat that people can sell their own resources to others for a bit, and how vast the free ones are. I found the site while looking for tilesets...And I found way more than that. This site is just full of generosity!
3. Badges. I don't know why, but the badges and alerts for them make me giggle. Somehow I always like badges and the like on sites...It makes it like a game in a way- and for a game-making community, that's just a bonus right?
What I'm not thrilled about yet:
1. I feel lost. I was told where to post my introduction, but I don't quite know what to do next besides lurk so far. I think some advice for that would be good for the more timid people like myself. But, since the community is so friendly, I'm sure someone will guide me soon anyway.
2. In regards to badges, there are things that aren't well explained on the page to me. I'm mostly talking the youtube video concept (seriously, I have no idea what that's talking about) and simple things like that. If the answer is hiding somewhere, I haven't noticed it quite yet...
3. Um...I have no idea at this stage of a third thing. Too new to have too much to complain about at all.
Improvement Ideas:
1. Well I basically noted it earlier, but some sort of guide for new users of the site that helps them feel less nervous if they have social anxiety like me. I like that I was told to do an intro, but...I feel like being guided a bit more could be helpful in some cases. It's hard to say.
2. I think the menu bar could be improved. I have an issue (in Chrome) where it doesn't like to show the submenu as quickly unless I click it, but then it takes me to the header page for the section before I can choose. I'm not sure if this is more a bug issue or just something that might be improved.
3. Perhaps having sub-groups in the resource area for paid and not paid, just so they're not all clumped together by resource type itself? I'm not sure if that's difficult or not, but...It's a thought. Though having them together has its perks I suppose.
...Did I do okay? I'm a little sleepy so I have no idea if this makes sense...
