CloseThere's a problem. It took me more than three years to produce this game, and now that I try to publish it, it gets denied...
How do you publish games on this site, uh?
Please, answer admins!

Did it meet the submission guidelines? This includes the BCB addendum at the end.

Where may I read the submission guidelines?
By the way, the game is 300MB under maximum compression (fully compressed package, fully compressed installation executable) so it is too big for most file sharing sites. Any idea on how to upload it for free, except by torrent?

Why is it 300MB? Simple: there are 873 maps, some of theme extremely large, 78 songs, 23 movies, etc. (real numbers) I told you, it took more than three years to make and it's huge. I designed my own gameplay from events and variables and all. It's not a small project as most of those that we see. I wanted to make it the best action-rpg available. That's why. But now, I can't even upload it! Argh!
I think there is a hard limit of 150mb right now. You could try using WinRAR to split to volumes in 100mb increments.
movies. you're a madman ;)
here is a more developed question: why is your game about 150 times the size of one of the larger examples of a 2D rpg? unless you're about to tell me it's rendered in real-time 3D, you've got filesize issues

Nope. No filesize issues. You see, at some point during the development, I only used mp3 files for music (approximately 150), which are a lot more bigger than midis (about ten times larger) , and there were even more movies, to the point that the game took an enourmous 5GB of data, which I cut down by removing half the music and making midi files instead of mp3. There are still mp3s, though. The 78 mp3 and midi files take 75,8MB together. The movies, which may take up to 52,2MB each, account for 187,2MB in all. Some maps take up to 100KB of space, when they are huge, and there are, as I said, 873 maps in all. The 302 WAVE sound effects take 34,7MB. Add to that the parallax backgrounds (panoramas), the chipsets, the charsets, the various pictures for titles and game over screens and for place names and the special effects backgrounds, and you get my nice little package.
Is there an issue? Nope. Juste expect something huge with a lot of details.
By the way, could anyone tell me how I could upload my game so that people could download it?? Anywhere? Please, before I get depressed, because my hosting service refuses to host something of that size for downloading, most sites like rapidshare don't take files so big either, I can't upload to sites like brothersoft since I have to host the file myself and stupid mininova thought it was a hoax. If I made a game, it's because I want people to play it! Anyone could help me on that matter?

clearly when i said issues in plural what i meant was one big issue right here ;)
Get WinRAR and use it to split the files into 100mb chunks, then upload each chunk individually.
Also, what is your game ID? (Go to Account > manage games and click the game and give me the number at the end of the address. It should be around 1550)

The ID is 1523 (new try, the denied one was 1522). Okay, I'm going to split up files. I wanted to make it as simple as possible for people to get it, to I didn't want to split it... Anyway, I think it's the only solution now.

Well, thank you for your help friends. I'll try to upload it on rapidshare and such, and I'll post the links on my site (mastamut.com) Be sure to check it out and, most of all, leave feedback if you like it!
Well, I see the problem with the submission.
-The game description really doesn't talk about the game itself. It just talks about the production of the game. Put in some details about the characters, plot, gameplay or world.
-There aren't any in-game screenshots - just two titlescreens and what looks to be a battle background. Please take at least 3 screenshots of game playing action.
Those are the likely reasons why your submission was denied.

5 Gigabytes... holy mother of... what kind of movies did you include? (Live action FTW)
But seriously, not even an uncompressed version of FFVII was over 2 GB.

It's really hard for anyone to be interested if not even your site gives ANY info on your game and why we should play it, this is considering I'm forgetting the 300mb issue. Also rapidshare is pretty terrible, megaupload or mediafire is better.
1) You haven't given me any good reasons to play your game. Why should I play your game?
2) I'm a gamer, which means I'm impatient and I want it all right now. Why does the filesize have to be so huge? It isn't an MMO.
3) Your mp3s should NOT be taking up that much room, especially not for what sounds to be an rm2k/3 game. Learn to edit your mp3s.
4) PrintScreen is a very helpful key on your keyboard. Learn to utilize it.

You can double the speed of MP3s in Audacity, and then play them back at half speed to cut down on filesize...
