Thanks for putting my game in the queue! Definitely looking forward to your thoughts.

No problem. Congrats on completing the game! Since I didn't play your earlier demo, I'll be able to play it without any preconceptions. My guess is that I'll write to write a review for it. But first I need to get to play it first. Your game will be second after I finish the game I'm currently playing.
Edchuy, I might have to revamp the entire system for Faith, and change the Quest Journal script to another quest script, as I tested out another and it looks fantastic. Seen as I can't get the Quest Journal to actually work I think I need to, plus I can talk to the maker of the script I'm planning on using easily.
Oh, and I won't be online for about a week, as I ran out of internet (DAMN MY DAD), but I will constantly working on my game, so I should actually get more work done. I thank you for being patient with me anyways, and when I release the new demo with everything working hopefully next week I greatly hope you enjoy it.
See you next week!

I gave Deckiller some feedback yesterday about Carlsev Saga: Episode II (Demo 1). Today I submitted an article about a surprise topic. I continue to play Fallen Wings. Given that the download Drakonais's The Tiamat Sacrament has been taken down for bug-testing, I'll think about adding some other game to my queue, just in case.

I played some more of Fallen Wings and think I am nearing the end of the game. However, I found this progress-stopping bug. Another player reported the same thing tonight. We'll see what Everguard has to say about this. Perhaps tomorrow I'll be playing mongoosezxc's Awesome Quest.

The first game of Game Gale 2010 has been posted:

http://rpgmaker.net/games/2074/

I have decided to go ahead and play catmitts's The New Adventures Of Billy The Kid, now! Pending is my decision of giving plain old feedback or writing a review. I have given catmitts some input which might sway me.

Fallen Wings has been fixed, so I'll finish it afterwards.
Hey thanks for playing my game man! I would love to have a review from you!

Linkforce may I ask when you intend to have another demo or the complete game? I didn't play thinking I was going to give it a review or even feedback. I usually take notes as I play along. I would probably have to replay it to give it a fair review. I'll wait for you answer.
Umm probably a while this is only a demo so the completed game will take a while. I figured you could review the demo and what you've played so far.

OK, so let me tell you what I can do. I could replay a little of your game each day. Before you know it, I'll be able to finish the demo and then write the review. Do you think you could wait until then?

I finished catmitts's Game Gale entry. I'll be writing a quick, unrated review (will rate it after the results are announced).

I can finally go back to playing Fallen Wings.

Sounds great! Take all the time you need!

Just finished playing Fallen Wings. I'll get started on playing Linkforce's Carpe Diem, Episode 1 so that, eventually I can write a review for it.

I submitted the review for catmitts's New Adventures of Billy The Kid. I started playing Awesome Quest and will play a little more of Carpe Diem, Episode 1.

This weekend is probably the least RM playing I've done in a while. Yesterday was out all day and when I came about was to beat to play that much. Today, even though my allergies flared up, I advanced a little bit more in Awesome Quest and managed to play Hexatona's entry into Game Gale 2010, Retro Fatale:

I will be writing a review for it within the next few days.

I have continued to play Awesome Quest. I think I am close to the end of the game, but I suspect there's a bug preventing me from accessing a few things. I have PMed mongoosezxc to find out what the deal is.

I played and manage to, surprisingly, beat, Rhyme's SkYscrapeR, although at the easiest level, which is good considering I can easily get frustrated playing puzzles games:

http://rpgmaker.net/games/2080/

I'm not sure if that's supposed to be the final version of the game, though. Depending on that, I will write a unrated review or provide some more feedback.

I will continue to play Carpe Diem. Since Drakonais hasn't said anything about The Tiamat Sacrament, that's still on hold. I'll probably have to add another game to play to my list. The Game Gale 2010 submissions seem to be good candidates once they're approved. Also, there's a chance I could be beta testing Chapter 1 of Max McGee's To Arms! soon.

Tomorrow, I'll try to take a hiatus from gameplaying to start writing some pending reviews.

I am currently downloading Max McGee's To Arms! demo for beta testing. I guess I'll be able to play some of it tonight.

I seem to have fallen behind in keeping this up to date. Since last time, I managed to do a whole playthrough of Max McGee's To Arms! demo using the default party. It was quite a challenge, but my perseverance paid off. I wanted to prove that it was possible. I'll put on hold testing the other combinations and providing non-combat feedback until sometime next week.

I still owe a couple of reviews (can't seem to get inspired to write them!). I haven't heard from mongoosezxc (the message is still pending to be checked). Played a bit more of Linkforce's Carpe Diem, Episode 1. I also managed to play two Game Gale entries, Everguard's Escape from Middle School (7th grade difficulty):

http://rpgmaker.net/games/2093/

and SorceressKyrsty's Darkseed: Revival (hard difficulty):

http://rpgmaker.net/games/2081/

I have provided feedback for the first one and will be sending it later today for the second one.

I also found out that there's a new version of Rhyme's SkYscrapeR with more puzzles and an editor to make your own puzzles. I have also downloaded the demo for hirschmonsta's "S.T.D." responding to a request for feedback:

http://rpgmaker.net/games/2099

I hope to be able to play both this weekend.

The other game I am waiting on but, at least, have heard something from is Drakonais's The Tiamat Sacrament.

I have been pretty bad in keeping this blog updated and ordered. I hope it doesn't fall into disrepair, so by this weekend I will straighten it out.

tIn the meantime, let me try to recap what I have been doing this week in terms of playing games:

- Have been doing a lot of beta-testing for Max McGee's To Arms! I replayed a new version of the beta with the 4 recruits you get. Then I replayed a portion of the game changing all recruits into 1 of the 8 classes they can change them. I plan to send him tomorrow feedback related to everything except combat. The last thing before sending combat related feedback will be changing the 4 recruits each into a different class and cover all classes, playing the demo until the end.

- After my last post here, calunio got in touch with me and I did a lightning beta-test (less than one day) of his entry to Game Gale, Beautiful Escape: Dungeoneer:

http://rpgmaker.net/games/2068/

- I played and beat the extended version of Rhyme's SkYscrapeR. Definitely should review this one.
- I played Racheal's and MakioKuta's Castle Chase. I need to check if have gotten all the possible endings (9).

Other things:

- Still owe the review for Everguard's Fallen Wings.
- Still owe the review for Hexatona's Retro Fatale.
- Should consider whether to write a review for SorceressKyrsty's Darkseed: Revival.
- Tried to play hirschmonsta's "S.T.D.". It will definitely be hard to provide feedback for this one.
- I downloaded have barely started playing Drakonais's The Tiamat Sacrament.
- I have offered to play and give some sort of feedback or review to all Game Gale entries.
- Would have liked to participate in the Send me in Coach! event, but wisely I chose not to, since there's too many pending things.

Oh, well that seems to be have been it for the week.


You know, I was thinking (sorry to hijack your thread with this edchuy, but it is the greatest example):

We have blogs for game developers, but why not have blogs for game players? We have about a half a dozen (semi) active "Here's What Games I'm Going to Play" threads in the Game Discussion right now, so there is a demand for this feature. And we keep talking about attracting more game players - let's give them some tools!
