Closeauthor=Feldschlacht IV link=topic=3375.msg67424#msg67424 date=1237756357This doesn't say much despite being made up with a surprising amount of words.
Keep in mind that I've not emphasized more people for forum posts, more threads, and the like (although that's never a bad side effect of growth). I am emphasizing the points I made to get people (in this case, people with creative talent, not necessarily 'artists') to come here to see a greater variety in the games created and games with awesome original content.
People such as pixel artists (which are the most likely artists to get into game making if they haven't already), composers, and the like. I'm not asking for creative talent to come here just for the sake of being here (to address the point of the site not being geared for artists), but to contribute into the reason we're all here, to make games.
Whoops, oh well. Short version; I want creative, diverse people to come here to make awesome creative, diverse games.
Don't worry about that, since it is already happening. Worry about there not being anyone to play those games.
Well, that's why I came up with the Play Something! events (and one is coming up soon). However that event alone is in no way going to fix the issue by itself, so if anyone has any ideas to get people excited to play more games...
I personally think that one idea is to make the Makerscore have a tangible benefit. That way it gives people one incentive to play games, review them, and to submit them in for the 20 points they're worth. The last time attention was called to the lack of reviews, the number of reviews skyrocketed pretty high.

author=Feldschlacht IV link=topic=3375.msg67482#msg67482 date=1237768456For the record, I do not like the Play Something! events. You are basically asking people to do something they should already want to do. And don't. You are basically taking credit for inventing people taking a shower.

Yeah well, if it gets people to play games. If the end result is people playing games, then well, no sense operating on principle. Idealistically, people should already want to do it, but, they don't.
Makerscore will never be something you "cash in". People like have their ePenis compared, so they can do it with Makerscore instead of post counts. Post count means even less than Makerscore does, funny enough.
Then what's the point of Makerscore? Why does it even exist?
A previous idea you brought up was giving people customization to their game pages and other perks in relation to their Makerscore. Correct me if I'm wrong if you didn't say this or said something differently, but I don't think an idea like that should go to waste.

I get a dollar a week for each Makerscore point I have. 8)
Oh, don't mind me I just had to take a Mog. *flushes toilet and walks out of the bathroom* Carry on.

I am the admitted worst offender of only making games, and rarely playing them (commercial, indie, or otherwise).
author=kentona link=topic=3375.msg67569#msg67569 date=1237822893I'm pretty guilty as well, at least when it comes to games posted here. The last RM game I played was Exit Fate and I think Forgotten Wishes before that, which was a long time ago.author=WIP link=topic=3375.msg67477#msg67477 date=1237767999Hey, this is rpgmaker.net, not rpgplayer.net.
