THE FEATURED GAME THREAD

The dev-spot WaUTaH has right now could probably be replaced by something else eventually. It likely hasn't needed testers for, I dunno, a week or two? Though, I have no idea what it could/should be replaced with!

If you really don't have anything else for the development slot, I did just post my KoG2 demo reel a few weeks ago. But I got a feature in March, and I think KoG1 was on last months suggestions for feature so... I'll fill if you guys really need something!

I figured the video I made would work for the RMN TV spot or something, but development works too.

Heaven forbid I get any motivation to work on KoG2 T.T

+1

I think better to do it now, so that it has a good shot at the misaos. Last year Grimm's Hollow was October's Featured game I think, but it was more of the exception to the rule - it had enough support from surrounding communities to make it happen. I haven't been around for 2020, so I don't know what I've missed.

But what I learned from trying to gather misao contenders last year is that the cut off date in reality is october/november because peeps are too busy preparing for holiday stuff to focus on anything else.

I think Weird and Unfortunate should be the featured game. it's been a long time coming.

It's already on the list of possibles. I think something cold/wintery/christmassy for December. Any suggestions?

I was thinking Sainth, but it is rather old (classique~)

I do agree that Endless Nova might not, but Three the Hard Way certainly does (at least in my book).

(Personally I think Three the Hard way is still very good - played it again a few years ago. That said, I can see why it wouldn't jive with many people - especially those who hate FFII's way of levelling up considering it uses that instead of more 'normal' gameplay. I don't think that's a bad thing though.)


The reason I put A Blurred Line and The Way on the list is because, quite frankly, they're still beloved and played today. I've seen a few people talk about how good they still are and whilst The Way has some weird gameplay mechanics at points, the series as a whole is very, very good... even now.

In the case that I did feature The Way, I'd do it as a series feature (as I would do with Legion Saga 1/2/3) because its whole is what makes or breaks it as an experience.


As for why the list is now so big? I couldn't sleep and decided that I might as well do something productive, so went looking for 4+ rated games (usually with more than just one review) to add to the list. Not all made it in, of course, but I cherry picked the ones that I know are pretty damn quality.


That aside, you ignored my question. :<

Nothing Christmas-y is coming to my head right away, but I'll keep thinking about it.

Coincidentally to your list, I've been playing the King of Greyscale and it's really good! Haven't finished it quite yet but it certainly feels feature-worthy :D

Thanks Unity! It's stuff like this that helps me work harder :3

Thought I might add Beetle Ninja to the hat.

Same developer as Where the Moon Goes at Night, and it's got the same level of charm and snark.

Well, I think the preference for Feature Game would be more to complete games. Which, as far as I am aware, A Blurred Line is not. Which may be it's own tragedy.

+1 for Beetle Ninja.

It's the type of game I wish I'd seen back in 2007 and it's the type of game we should encourage and see more of in the future.
I rarely say this about an rpgmaker2003 game, but the music is fantastic.

Yeah, completed games are what we aim for. That, and thematic (which is why Sainth for Christmas month because wintery).

I'm not against starting the year with Beetle Ninja. Feb will likely be the GOTY if it hasn't been already showcased, or one of the bigger (numbers-wise) winners of Misaos.
