CloseThe rules are simple. You may advertise your off-site commercial games in this part of the forums but you must adhere to the advertising rules. They are as follows:
There must be:-
- At least 300 words describing the game.
- 5+ screenshots.
- A link to your off-site game and/or demo for people to try .
- Information about what you hope to achieve (in the case of Kickstarter or commercialising).
- Working links to relevant pages.
If you do not have enough to fill these conditions, it's too early to start asking for money. Come back when you can/do.
You have 24 hours after posting your thread to fix it up. If, after that, it hasn't been fixed to the necessary standards, it will be locked.
Any attempt to circumvent these rules will result in warnings and bans, dependant on your actions.
If you have questions, feel free to ask them here. This thread will be updated with more information as it comes in.
I have a Commercial game in the works. Can I advertise it here?
You may, if it's an off-site game, but a better avenue would be to create a game page for it. We allow commercial game pages on the site and they tend to get a lot more people checking them out than forum topics do.
How do I submit a game?
Click on the "Submissions" tab on the tool bar at the top of any RMN Page and select "Submit game." You will be given the opportunity to create a game profile. You cannot add a game download until your game is approved. You are also required to upload at least 3 screenshots. To do this, after submitting your game, click on the "Submissions" tab and edit your gameprofile submission, and then go to the image section to upload screenshots. For a more detailed walkthrough on how to submit an image, read this article.
What are the submission guidelines?
Demo/Full Game submissions require at least 1 paragraph, 4-5 sentences long, explaining your project. The description needs to be well-written with minimal spelling, grammar and punctuation errors. It must also be in English, even if the game isn't - you may have a non-English version of your description, too, as long as an English one is provided.
This thread is helpful if you have issues with English.
Your game will also require at least three screenshots showing different in-game images of your game. Your game won't even go into the submission queue until three screens are loaded. Your game page has a screenshot gallery built into it. All you need to do is add the screenshots!
We only support JPEG and PNG screenshots. BMPs and others are not allowed. To take a screenshot use the PRT SCRN button next to F12, then paste the image into some graphics software (Paint.net is decent). After that, crop down to the size of the screenshot and save as either PNG or JPEG.
The screenshots need to have variety - three screenshots of one location isn't counted as three screenshots. Title screens, splash screens, map art, or character art do not count toward your screenshot total (but are certainly allowed). The same with screenshots of Sample Maps.
Your game must meet certain standards of quality. These standards are fairly subjective and arbitrary, but in general your game should have proper spelling and grammar, have a decent grasp of game mechanics, be free of any obvious game-breaking bugs.
Stolen maps or fellow exclusive indie maker resources will lead to warnings or bans depending on how you act.
We do not allow pornographic imagery. We also do not allow games that contain hate speech of any kind (racial, sexual, gendered, etc), nor violence or sexual violence in gratuitous use. (That is, rape for the sake of rape.) In the case that your game does explore adult themes we ask that you keep it tasteful and that you put warnings in your description.

Are there any sites people are hosting their commercial games on besides itch.io and Steam (actually I don't even know if Steam offers hosting)?
