Nope! The artist who worked on the custom assets for Ara Fell did. These are made from scratch.

Strictly For Commercial

The idea of this (and Ara Fell) was to take a game that's already finished or close to it, fix it up and improve it, replace the graphics and music, then sell it.

Remaking it from scratch would be cool, but it defeats the purpose of doing it. We don't want to throw away all the work that's already been done.

If Hero's Realm does well, we're going to see if there's interest in other people's games that can get the same treatment. We'll be looking for games that are relatively complete and polished, that won't take like $10,000 to commercialize.

Hero's Realm is the perfect test case to see if this is a viable business model.

"Many strange wordings,"

Is it in poor taste to playfully point out the irony?

edit: Also, you ought to post that as an actual review on RMN!

Why aren't you fuckers in IRC?

"I developed a means of speeding up the authorisation process through which members are usually onboarded within minutes of signing up."

Honestly? The issue is having to click more than twice. If you need to go back to your email to get in, you're going to lose like 90% of the people that were interested.

Double posting since me and WIP posted at the same time.

"Having Slack be on auto-invite seems a hell of a lot more dangerous, just due to the way Slack expects users to operate."

Moreso than IRC allowing anyone to join? I'm not sure what the difference is if RMN Slack admins authorize pretty much anyone anyway. There's the spam issue that was talked about, but there are certainly other ways around that (like captcha as previously mentioned, or making you register an email address, but still automatically accept).


What's the danger with Slack that isn't present with IRC?

"The site needs embedded chat. Full stop."

That we agree on.

Were bots doing this? If so, a captcha system should be sufficient. If not, are IP bans not a way to solve this? Were the people spamming you determined enough to get around IP blocking as well? I realize that's easy enough to do, but to have someone doing it by hand to avoid captcha as well as getting around IP bans seems like it'd still fix a lot of this.

And there's always the option of adding more admins.

As for the activity levels, all I can say is that I've participated in several IRC and Slack communities over the years and RMN's has easily been one of the least active. Either there's just not that much interest in it, or the authorization system is the problem. A totally understandable position, mind you, and not one I'm necessarily criticizing you for. But if you want to grow a chat community (which I think would be awesome, and is absolutely something you guys should do) the authorization system is a huge roadblock.

Why aren't you fuckers in IRC?

Right. Whatever my "automatic authorization" system would require would need to direct people to the browser client automatically.
