CIEL'S PROFILE

secret of mana intro looping in background

star ratings are completely meaningless to me, particularly on this site where one person will give a game 1 star and another gives it 5. i know i am not going to glean any useful information from an average rating because they are almost always middling. 'woah this game is considered to be of 3 star quality' does absolutely nothing to help me decide whether to click it. more useful would just be seeing how many people liked a game enough to give it a thumbs up. '784 people liked this game' would pique my interest, at least.

RPGs have so much development time that it often feels like you're doing a whole lot of work for nothing and not gaining any praise for it. Once the initial compliments and comments from your game page start to end, so does the motivation.

That's why where ever you go, screenshot topics are so popular. People don't necessarily always want constructive criticism, they want a quick ego boost and screenshots are so easy to dish out.

this is why i strongly advocated a piecemeal release format in my 2008 article 'why rose chronicles is the perfect rpg maker project'. you get a continuous stream of praise and feedback and your audience has something to enjoy, discuss, and take inspiration from on a more regular basis. your colossal rpg video game does nobody any good when it is just 50 hours of content sitting on your hard drive B..B...BUT IT ISNT DONE YET

The front page isn't the only place to find games and if 80% of the games here don't meet your standards, maybe you should leave or I don't know, help the people who make those games.

didn't i just write a 50000000000 word topic on how to make rmn a more nurturing learning environment for developing game makers? since i as a rational human being recognize that it is impossible to engage in comprehensive one on one hand-holding with dozens or hundreds of subpar game creators until they produce work of satisfactory quality, i have been attempting to start an initiative at this site which would eventually yield succulent fruits for these ailing young would-be designers. results thus far:

i don't appreciate your dismissiveness or snide insinuations, but given that you have repeatedly demonstrated a limited understanding of the situation i have difficulty taking your comments to heart. it seems to me in no way constructive to engage in dialogue with an individual whose first reaction to criticism is blind, destructive hostility;

the real reason was that everyone here was being whiny bitches so one day ankylo accepted absolutely everything that was in the queue, 7 Dragons included.

This. stop $#%^*&# whining.

i apologize but i do not understand how you are helping with this attitude, and yet after knowingly defacing the front page with poor content in some childish attempt at revenge, you do a 180 and assume a holier than thou stance on those genuinely trying to make a difference. i would normally just disregard posts from a member with this sort of disposition and apparent decision making skills, but i have been led to believe you are for some reason involved with the content management of this site rather than just server administration and feel i have no choice but to pursue this line of discussion beyond the locked topic if any improvements are to be made to this site.

merry christmas evertyvbody!!!!
