Marketing Your RM Game ArtBane 05/23/2013 10:05 AM The RPG Making landscape has changed a lot in recent years. For those of you who have been around for a long time, you probably remember when it was enough to just have a finished game. If your game was good then people would play it and leave comments and feedback by the pages. But with the explosion of indie games, improved internet speed and social media, it's not enough to just have a finished game; you also need to know how to market yourself and your games.

What's in this Chest? - Mystery and Randomness in Lily slashphoenix 05/14/2013 10:24 PM Hi! I've been working hard on Lily (as well as other semi-important stuff like organizing my resume, my portfolio website and doing the job hunt thing) and wanted to make a little blog post about the game design!

Near perfect! kukenstragames 05/11/2013 01:01 PM The five star reveiw that this game received was what drew me here originally; it's the first five star game i've played on rmn! I usually tend to play unrated games so that they can have a star rating, but after reading Rixel96's reveiw of "no-one has to die", i just had to see if it really lived-up to his very kind words. In short, it does! However, i do not agree with the five star rating! I hate to be a downer, but that's the way I feel. Don't get me wrong, it's a great game! That's why i'm giving it the well-earned rating of... 4.5! But i just don't think it's perfect enough for those whole five stars! Let me tell you why...

RMN needs your help (again)! kentona 05/03/2013 09:45 PM It runs us $150/month USD to host RMN. I do get some ad revenue, but that doesn't cover the whole bill, so naturally we rely on donations to sustain ourselves. Sadly, our server fund is drying up.
