So, I haven't submitted anything yet. Hopefully anything I make that isn't intentionally bad or something such is sufficient to be approved, or I'd probably get a little angry, considering that I'd have put a lot of effort into it.

On tne issue of games being denied because of mapping, that's why I posted a thread that asks for examples of good and bad mapping.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

If putting in a lot of effort were enough to succeed in this world, I would not be nearly as disgusted by my own cooking.

I don't think any game should be denied for bad mapping, personally speaking...treating "bad mapping" and "completely incoherent and impassable "modern art" maps with nonsensical tile vomit all over the place" as two different problems.

I don't think maps should need to have even a moderately strong aesthetic sense to be accepted to the site, is what I'm saying.
I am generally pretty lenient in that regard. I mean, I accepted Fire Kingdom didn't I?

Erm...I think the OP needs updated to reflect certain changes in staff.
I still agree with the lighting yourself on fire thing. It actually does help deal with the immense stress it causes.
I'm making a game, but it's not in english. It's in portuguese. Can I still send it to the site or will it be automatically denied?
As long as the gameprofile meets the requirements, the language it is in doesn't matter.

As long as I can translate it using Google Translate.

Also, given the high ratio of english speakers here, an english version of your description would be welcome!
Are short descriptions okay for battle-less adventure games? I figured the more I blathered about it the less exciting gameplay would be.
Well, there is a character count minimum that you have to hit.

You should go over and beyond the min requirement when
submitting a game.

It asks for 3 screen shots, but you should have 10.

It asks for 500 words and 2 paragraphs, but
consider how its formatted. Use bold lettering
for topic titles, and use bullets for lists.

If you spend time trying to polish your
presentation for them, they will feel
like you spent time on programming your game.

I'd have thunk that it's kind of taken for red that the "minimum requirements" are to be taken as such: minimums.

I don't think I could possibly give a 500 word description of any of my projects and feel satisfied with it, because 500 words really is just a bare-ass "write SOMETHING down" minimum, rather than an expected standard of quality.

As for screenshots, I'd have to disagree: more is not better. I think the key factor is having different screenshots more than many. I don't like the idea of submitting several shots that are all of relatively similar things; I'd like them all to look pretty different from each other. If the game currently only has three screenshots that can look different, that seems fine to me.
But then again, maybe that's just me, I'm a visual guy... Personally, I get bored of looking through screenshots if they're all too similar; I look at screenies to see multiple different aspects of the game and what it all has to offer.

IS it okay if your game is still in beta and you post it?

I'm pretty sure most games that get posted are still in beta. Some aren't even that far yet.
Yo, so I am getting pretty close to where I can post a demo of my game and I thought it'd be a good idea to get this question answered first.
So it says that you need 3 in game screen shots and that things like character art and the lot don't count towards that three. But what if the scenes in the game are drawn? (I'm talking something similar to what Alter A.I.L.A Genesis did if you've played that) It's still an in game screen shot because the player will see the image while playing the game, so I would imagine it would be okay but I feel the need to get it cleared up beforehand.
Thanks in advance! :D
If the game is denied, what do you mean by re-submit? Just re-submit the game profile? Because mine got denied. (Don't worry. I'm not sad. Just need to improve a few things.)
Or do you just edit the denied profile and improve what was suggested?

Re-submit it after making the necessary changes to it.

Although note that even after you resbumit, you'll still have as long as it takes them to check the profile for you to continue making changes and updates; it won't be set in stone after you hit submit~
