Bit of a correction: the name of the monster is Junsunia, not Junsuina. I took the name of the monster from the word Junsuina which, according to Google, is Japanese for pure. So I guess we get our names from the same source.

Pretty much the same source! For full disclosure, I recall plugging in "pure darkness" (or something like that) into Google translate to get "junsuina waru". Uchioniko took this to a literal level, having one of the bosses named Junsuina Waru. Whereas with Arbiters From Another World... yeah.

Waaaaait a sec. I'm looking at the name of this pic ("Junsuina.png"), and something seems oddly familiar about that name!

*looks up Arbiter notes*



Whoa!

What are you thinking about right now?

We only need one more player for the Mods and Bots mafia game!

If you feel like a short forum game of lies and deception, feel free to sign up!

I gave that mafia thread a quick think. It already had eight sign-ups, and kinda took me my surprise that it even existed.



Then again, it feels like a lot of stuff has been going on 'round these parts. Or a general sense of being out-of-touch with the community. I dunno, maybe it's just MV's official release, and not being a part of that. Or... something.


*Edited because PAGE BREAK!

Let's work on your game descriptions!

The first thing I'm noticing is lack of capitalization at the beginning of certain sentences. That, and I feel like the whole story-section needs to be trimmed down, as it's a lot of information to throw at players all at once.

So, my suggestion might be to have it look something like...

The land known only as The Contenent is a radiant land that would seem as a utopia on the surface. Yet, underneath the plastic fields and silicone deserts lies a grim, dark world full of prejudice and evil. Perhaps the most affected by this prejudice are those known as the Half-Souls: Humans with a separate intelligence that, when that intelligence takes over, transforms their bodies into animals.

Samato is a young Half-Soul that goes to a local Half-Soul academy, and desires to find out why his mother was murdered, and by what. At the academy, he meets the mysterious Iruka Seomi and the idiosyncratic master of the academy. Life there is fairly normal, but, one day, he finds himself waking up to find a note written by the master to gather what Half-Souls he can to meet him in the Devil's Vault.

At first, Samato thinks this note isn't anything to concern himself with, but, he soon finds that Iruka is the only other student at the academy. Perhaps that note is more serious than he thought...

Let's get this done!

Small progress report here. I've sent out a copy of the game to my testers, but, I've also done a bit additional testing myself. I'm still aiming for an end-of-the-month release (it'll be my Halloween treat to RMN!), so, that only gives me (and my testers) about week to sort whatever needs to be sorted out.


As a side-note, I have something of a first draft of Masako's graduation speech (ie: this game's last blog). So, reviewing that for "Mitsuyaness" (That's a word... for the moment) is considered something that might need to be ironed out. There is also another crazy idea floating in my head concerning the last blog, but, I'll leave it a mystery for now (given the very real possibility that it just won't happen).

So I'm looking through other game pages, then I stopped to find one of the most CSS developed ones I could find to use as an example. I found RMNs Befuddle Quest 6.

My question is; does anyone have a tutorial or guide on how to make a spiffy CSS for your gamepages? Mine are all bland and yuck.


I swear there is an article about CSSing profiles, somewhere. I haven't read it, so, I'm not sure how useful it is for beginners, though.

A Correction and the Final Status Update

Your progress is motivating me so much to finish my own game. I too am close to finish it, about 90% done. I wanted to try to race you to see who could finish their game first, but since you "only" have the last boss & ending left, I'm not too sure. xD



Whoa, whoa, whoa. A three gam pincer maneuver!? Let's do this!


Sarcasm aside, just do your best.

Let's work on your game descriptions!

@jenova3new: I'm not sure if you know this, but, gamepages have word-wrap. Thus, the hard returns in the Synopsis section are unnecessary. On the other hand, end-of-sentence punctuation is non-existent. Let's see how it looks with those changes, plus a bit of embellishing on my part:

This is a story about Fragmentia, a dying world whose inhabitants have a will to survive. They duplicate parts of other worlds, and makes them part of Fragmentia. Such properties like land, air, sea, and life. However, this is but a temporary measure. Like trying to implant one flesh onto another, the risk of rejection is bound to happen.

This is a story about Fragmentia, a world that's made up of many different parts of other worlds. This is a story about all life that lives there, and those trying to change the fate of the world, even as their own memories fade with the world.


Or... something like this?

A Correction and the Final Status Update

That's pretty amazingly close to done! I have to wonder if this will get done at the same time as Konae's Investigations?

Let's get this done!

After a play-test of the final sequence, then a from-scratch play-test on my part, it might just be time to...



*gasp*



...send this out for external playtesting! My legion of testers (read: Dozen and Adon237) will get a friendly PM when the time comes for that, but, if they are too busy, uuuuhhhhh, prep it for release it anyway? Eh, we'll see.
