Saving Progress is a website that focuses on video game culture in many forms. Our content aims to analyze the industry in its past, present, and future states. This is the very core of Saving Progress, and from it, we offer three primary outlets of content: reviews, columns, and editorials. Our readers range from those who know very little about video game culture to those who consider themselves deeply rooted in it. Saving Progress is not to be considered a singular source for all video game-related content. We don’t fill in all the blanks, and external resources will be necessary at times to get a full grasp of the topic at hand, but we feel that Saving Progress provides a necessary perspective that’s increasingly overlooked.

This website’s earliest form was actually something completely unlike what you see right now. Before Saving Progress came into being, there was a small site called Think Theory, which had very general interests. It soon became a replacement forum for a group of close forum members that needed somewhere new to gather after losing their long-time home to an unsuccessful merger. A few of the members expressed interest in creating content for the main site, and shortly after, it was decided that we would focus solely on video games, as this is the shared interest that had originally brought us all together. Work began on creating an archive of content and building a new website better suited for our new directive. Saving Progress went online September 1, 2007 and has been going ever since. In the month of May 2008, the staff decided it was going to revamp the site aesthetically and functionally, as well as solidify the content it produces. What you see now is the result of this effort.

As for the future, our most sincere hopes are simply to continue producing content that interests our readers. We look forward to gaining more talented writers, and anyone else that can help keep Saving Progress a quality website. Generally speaking, all of our efforts are aiming toward community and developer support. In our opinion, the more awareness our cause and our content gain, the better.
