Let's work on your game descriptions!
Thank you Marrend and Eplipswich, for the tips and advice. I've taken Marrend's altered format, reworded some lines and resubmitted. Fingers crossed.
@eplipswich, I can see where you getting from. The game description's for your games are short, to the point and very neet. A very good way to go.

I didn't know about there would be a separate location to put the trailer/video footage, i'll keep that in mind.
Aside from some small format and grammar tweaks, the description hasn't been altered much. Was that what they ment with clarity? An improve format to make it easier to read?
I was under the impression that they found some parts lacking in information. Taking your reformatted layout and adding some in-depth details about the gameplay, would be sufficient to consider resubmitting?
Also, is a features list considered bad form in for some reason? Because I would like to keep it in the general description, as it does tell the potential player about things that can be done/will be possible in the game.

Hello everyone, I just recently submitted a game that was denied because "the description needs a little work for clarity". The person who denied the submission was kind enough to direct me to this topic for help.
I'm not entirely sure what I'd need to elaborate on. Is the story description to general or should I go into more details about the exact gameplay features.
I'll post the game description page as I had submitted it below, and I would ask if you all could give me some pointers on how to improve it.
Thank you in advance.

Story
The world has becoming an increasingly dangerous place, the number of criminals, terrorists and general evildoers is at an all-time high. To counter this evil, decorated S.W.A.T. officer J.J. Colt founds the World Army. Together with his longtime friend Nathan "Rocket" Nace, an explosives expert and mechanical engineer.
It is an army with no political or national allegiance, its only goal is making the world a better place by fighting evildoers on a global scale. Colt and Rocket are quickly joined by Samantha "Phoenix" Byington, a renown competitive martial artist; and Marco "Blue Fox" Tundo, a highly trained ninja with a mysterious past. Several dozen recruits from all over the world also sign up. Some experienced or formerly retired soldier or mercenaries, others regular people with no combat experience. All of them in need of training or a refresher course before they are ready for action.
The heroes are dutifully making progress towards achieving their goal. Little do they know that behind the scenes, a great evil is plotting a scheme of grand proportions...

Former rm2k xp devs new project on unity, looking for feedback.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jos Ploegmakers, I go by the alias “Colt” and I’ve been making games since early days of RPG Maker 2000. Tough I never seemed to grasp the whole RPG portion of the software’s name and always used it to make action games, by means of custom action battle system. Over the years I’ve made and released a couple of games, most notably the well-received “Pokemon The Evil Inside 2”. Which won several Misao back in 2005.
I’ve never stopped designing games and now I’m back with a new project. This time made with Unity 5, but with a lot of RPG Maker styled graphics. I’m hoping I could get some feedback.
Here follows a description of the new game, including a reveal trailer and most importantly a link to a downloadable demo version for PC.
