RMN Game Roundup - 2nd Quarter 2011
RMN Game Roundup - 2nd Quarter 2011
Five Strategies for Better Game-Making
People who criticize Gazel Ministry don't really get it.
Really.
You have to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion (aka Xenogears the Movie) to get the whole picture.

RMN Snews - Issue #20
I've just read the topic in the City Dump.
Poor Max. Even though he's (will be) banned, he will return eventually. He always does.

A Quick Look at RMN Ratings
People that frequent the site probably would, but if I'm viewing the site for the first time ever then the first thing I do is to launch up the gamebase and sort the games by ratings, then try some of the top-rated games. A game rated 1 star I do not care about. If it has just one star then it's probably shitty, after all it has been reviewed by people that know what they're talking about.
A voting system must be anonymous and preferably a scale system (say 1-5 stars, not just thumbs up and thumbs down - what if I like a game, but I still feel it's only so-so compared to some other games I had downloaded off RMN?). I also think it should be open to everyone, not just the members. It would seem open to abuse, but we would just have to wait and see how it works out.

A Quick Look at RMN Ratings
Getting rid of review scores and replacing them with scores based on a voting system would be a good idea. Right now if someone wants to fuck up another developer, they can whip up a quick review and give the game one star and there's not that high of a chance that someone else will come over and submit a 5-star review to balance the score somewhat. And even then due to one spiteful shithead the game has 3 stars only. How is that fair? With popular vote a good game will have a good score, and a bad game will have a bad score, because your average player doesn't care about RMN drama, internal cliques, and circle jerking. He cares about the games he plays. Oh, and that would mean that probably more than 90% of the games would have an actual score. Yay!
Applying Auteur Theory to Amateur Games (Part I)
Don't be prejudiced, his games are actually better than what you can gather from the screenshots, it's just that he has been unjustifiably labelled by the community and fallen into infamy. Try them, you might be surprised. I know I did and I'm quite fond of his games.
Applying Auteur Theory to Amateur Games (Part I)
It's great you've removed the bit about you. Now I feel like we're getting somewhere and there's still hope for this article.
I propose including Maladroit Him and/or Teo Mathlein in place of Legion. You can't deny those two are very "auteur", especially when working in tandem (I mean, Wilfred the Hero, for Christ's sake! It's as auteur as you get when it comes to RM community).
Oh, and I have nothing against this article being more academic and I doubt others would. More substance = better.

So, what's next? Reviewing your own games and giving them the highest rating possible?
The only reason your wrote this article is to promote your own person. You disguised it as an article aspiring to be real (academic) criticism, even using appropriate terminology. Talk about misleading your audience.
Anyhow - don't treat this as an attack on your person, it really isn't. I like you and your games and you know it (Eldritch <3). But when I see articles such as this, no matter who wrote them, I... well, I post a reply that makes it clear I do not approve of such approach.
And stop frigging editing your comments. Your reviews, BTW, are all a good read.
