GAMES YOU THINK SHOULD BE ON RMN

I was going to try looking up and PMing or e-mailing people to get permission to add their games to RMN, but it turns out that this is pretty difficult nowadays when the gamemaking community is fractured, lots of people have moved on, and the GW website is in many ways broken.

So instead, I'm going to write down some games' names and their creators. If you know any of these games' developers, or you know where they hang out on the web nowadays, just post it in the topic. Also, if you can think of any other games that should be on RMN and aren't yet, post them too! Remember, RMN is coded by WIP but its content is driven by the members, not staffers.

So here's the list of games we'd like to add to RMN. Bear in mind that we want to contact the authors and get their permission to add their games to RMN. We can't just go uploading it on the site because somebody has the game on their computer.

Games We Want to Get
2. Enter the Cave by DarkPriest (Someone needs to do this)
3. Wilfred the Hero by MaladroitHim (Someone needs to do this)
4. Backstage by Legion (Someone needs to do this)
5. Romancing Walker
6. Legendary Adventure
7. The Most Stupidest Game Ever Re-Duh
8. Legion Saga Series by Kamau (Someone needs to do this) (Apparently has a Gamespot account, http://www.gamespot.com/users/crowbarska/)
9. Diary of a Madman by Dreaded
10. Dragon Destiny by Rast
11. Forgotten Majesty by Kindredz
12. Fallenwood
13. Julius Caesar

And here's a list of games that will be added in the near future.

Games That Will Be Added
1. The Way series by LunC (We're adding it)
2. The Longing Ribbon by gibmaker (I think... weird e-mail response from him)
3. NigSek and IY by Sovan Jedi (And I'm not even going to try spelling Idunn)
4. Sluggy's Adventure by Psychoskull (We're adding it)
5. Final Fallacy by SpoonyBard (We're adding it)
6. Laughy's Tetris by Laughy (We're adding it)
7. Sunset Over Imdahl by Teo (We're adding it)

Games That Have Been Added
1. Love and War by Admiral Styles

I mean games we'd like to see here. We are trying to always get permission before adding others' games. That means it'll be harder to add older 'classic' games whose creators have left gamemaking entirely, unfortunately. One solution WIP talked about at one point was creating a 'classic games' page full of indie games that are over 2 or 3 years old, but I'm not sure that'll be necessary anymore since there won't be scored staff reviews at RMN.

And yeah, your game suggestions are good too :). Good luck getting ahold of SpoonyBard though, he'll probably show up in a year or two in a random post at GW :x. And I honestly don't even remember the name of the guy who made FM. It'd be nice if we could create a classic games archive with older games like these where we could add games made by people who are permanently out of touch. When we finally reached the creators, if ever, we could move their games to the regular directory (or remove them from the site if they don't like us!!)

Anyways, an update. Styles is going to register and add L&W, and LunC gave permission to add the Way. I e-mailed gibmaker and am waiting for a response from him too.

Ha ha, yeah. The Most Stupidest Game Ever (Re-Duh) was pretty funny, I appreciated the multiple endings.

I'll get NigSek and IY up sometime soonish, since people have asked so kindly. But I expected better from you MrY for getting the name wrong. :(

Now I'm embarrassed :-[. The emoticon says it all, really.

I'll try Maladroit there at his website...

I'm not sure Laughy's still around, I think he just pops in every year or so. Laughy's Tetris never was too interesting to me... it was technically very cool, being a glitch-free Tetris game made with RM2K years ago, but it's still just Tetris :P. That'd be another good game to preserve for posterity's sake however.

I've been e-mailing and PMing a lot of these guys asking for permission.

If anybody can reach Legion on AIM and ask him to submit some games already, that'd be cool, in fact it would be ice cold. Also we still need to reach Kamau on Gamespot. Finally, we don't have a way to contact Rast or the creators of any of the games listed without an author, so please volunteer if you can help at all.
