BROKENH'S PROFILE

author=EzekielRage
No, Lovecraft was not a Nazi. In fact he despised them. He was a racist though, that is undeniably but more accurately he was an anglophile. he basically thought people of anglic descent were better than anybody else. He did lessen this view in his later life but it was still a big part of his writing :)

That's too bad. Other than that I really like the guy. Or I should say I at least like his works.

So i kinda got inspired by the epic rap battles of history and decided to do something similar, but with metal. this is the first result:

I admire Poe but Lovecraft has inspired me much more! It's too bad Lovecraft might have been a racist but I doubt it was to the point he was a Nazi or attended Klan meetings. (Unless there's something I don't know?)

Imagine my joy when I read about 45 minutes ago my game was accepted! To say I'm grateful would be putting it mildly. Words alone cannot express how happy I am.

However, there are a few problems. First of all, I noticed even when my game demo is compressed without the RTP it's 352 MB. Having read posts on rmn, I know that is within regulations BUT that most people here prefer daintier download sizes.

So what are the culprits? Whelp, there are a lot of midis,custom sprites,custom character portraits, and one additional tile-set that was added. (The futuristic tileset enter-brain offered on their site to be precise. I bought it awhile ago.)

Do any of you know a way to safely compress all this down even more? Are there any audio converters that convert midis to Ogg vorbis format? Lastly will the present size dissuade most of you from downloading?

Admittedly, the demo is rather large. There's a tram,town,hospital,theater,dark forest dream sequence, and police station that are all 100% explorable. Aka, I'm not just giving you all a couple of interconnected rooms to diddle around in. lol.

I figured I would ask before putting the game up. Better to be safe than sorry!

I'm harmless and I'm a pedestrian with no automobile to attempt vehicular manslaughter with!

Oh my city would absolutely LOVE you. ^^

Welcome aboard, son.

It's good to be here,dad! I think I'm getting hair on my chest! No,wait. That was just a random stray hair from somewhere else!

Joking aside,thanks for the friendly welcome!

Man. You should just put a notice that "your game will typically be reviewed within the next 30 days" when someone submits a game, so the entitled bitches will quit bothering you guys.

This. So much. I approve.

I don't think it's "entitlement". From the perspective of a personal creator I think it is a matter of excitement. Aka, you want to share your hard work with everyone right away. (And be honest, game makers work long hours too. I'm not saying mods and admins work less diligently but you have to show respect to both parties.)

The point is yeah, there is info that clearly states a game pending approval takes around 24 hours. That's the first thing people see when reading the rules of the site. There might be "additional rules" and a sub section but you can't be mad at people simply for being naive. (Or you can be but think back to how you were when you were practically a "noob" yourself.)

Personally I have a love/hate relationship over the concept of a panel of judges. On one hand, it ensures only quality products get the green light which is a very good thing! It would suck to have to endure playing rpgs that consisted of one room and didn't even have properly scripted events.

On the other hand, it feels a bit constraining. Aka, it feels like even as an indie developer I have to answer to some sort of higher "VIP club" just to get my works out there.

I also shudder to think what could happen if a person in charge of "okaying games" disliked me as a person or at the very least carried a small grudge. Would that factor into the decision making process? I certainly hope not!

Fortunately my first impression of RMN has been highly positive! It's been fun messing around with the CSS options. Due to that I'm a bit glad my game wasn't published right away. It gave me some time to learn the system and pretty stuff up!
