Play Something! Day Results and Discussion Topic [August 1st, 2008]
I played aurora wing some time ago and I thought it was amazing how that guy did that. It must have taken that dude alot of time to do that whole "terrain" thing with each individual tile. RTS's in rpgmaker are obviously rare, and I believe the guy did a good job making it. The actual game itself though, i think kind of lacked. I dont think it had anything original in the battle system aside from the typical move to a square and attack/use magic. But well you cant blame him; must have taken alot of time to do all that.

We didnt have to play those though; which i think we SHOULD have to, that way we can have an actual discussion. :\ But um, props to our devoted efforts and what discussion we can make of this. :D
Play Something! Day Results and Discussion Topic [August 1st, 2008]
Sorry for the double post, but I think this is essential. Because of the fact that not all of us played the exact same games, um, what exactly is the point of posting the reviews here? How can we comment on them really? I mean, if its a game we havent played, sure we could read the review, but at best only say something generic like "oh that sounds cool" or whatnot. I'm not sure they would cause a wide array of discussion because we havent played the game. Though unless we all played the same games; we then could discuss about the game instead of just nodding with the crowd. Any insight? Maybe next time choose a whole bunch of games to choose that they must play or something, that way we can have a discussion, but also let people play what they want, and sumbit a review, for the sake of playing other games?

Links to the games I reviewed:
http://www.rpgmaker.net/games/587/reviews/180/ - Darkness Shall Bleed
http://www.rpgmaker.net/games/611/reviews/181/ - Knights and Dragons
http://www.rpgmaker.net/games/593/reviews/182/ - Lacrimae Ferrii
http://www.rpgmaker.net/games/486/reviews/183/ - MagequestI
http://www.rpgmaker.net/games/358/reviews/184/ - SonicPUZZ
Generally I was dissappointed with a few, but I also had some good games. Some problems were just lack of content or creativity, or originality. Knights and Dragons as well as Magequest seemed like first made beginner's games, not that there's a problem with that, everyone has to start somewhere, but I believe I offered suggestions and criticism accordingly.
Lacrimae Ferrii I thought was quite good with little/not so serious flaws. There was character personality and interaction, mystery and foreshadow of story, and things seemed paced. I believe all my reviews best state my opinions on each game. I'll read everyone else's reviews in a bit; specifically the ones that were doing the same games that I did. Though everyone was free to do the games they want so that this play something day was more wide and varied, it is interesting to have at least some people playing the same game so that they can share their opinions with each other. (This was the intent what with the "featured games" and all.) I'm just saying it was a really good idea. :D

I would honestly really appreciate it if somebody could try out my Death Proclaimed series: projects that I've worked really hard on. Once again thanks for this topic Feldschlacht.
Tsk Tsk! I thought i might see someone here blatantly trying to advertise their game without offering to help play others at the same time. :P
Sonic and the Black Knight
Seriously. Its amazing what drastic directions theyve been taking some games lately. First i thought it was crazy giving shadow guns in that one sonic game, and now this crap? This is too drastic of a change. Its like it wont even be a sonic game anymore.
