We've always retroactively denied things that didn't fit the rules. Games that we learned broke rules, for example - Hawkman is one that jumps to mind right away - or had stolen assets. This isn't new.
This becomes an issue when you can create new rules, that are then also retroactively applied.

If a gamepage is accepted, but then is later found to contain really edgy dialogue that violates site hatespeech rules, that's understandable.

If a gamepage is accepted and the game conforms to RMN's rules at the time it was uploaded, but then a later rule makes it illegal, that's kind of another issue entirely.

If you're going to apply ex post facto principles to everything you might as well apply free speech to a private forum or something. If a late hatespeech rule added in like 2015 retroactively got rid of homophobic or whatever submissions pre-2015, then idk I can get behind that. Not so much that I agree with retroactive illegality but that the negative consequences of a submission getting rejected just isn't that dire compared to the negative harm a submission could cause. In the case of ai content submitted to a hobbyist site, both consequences being incomparable to a humans rights violation (though we could argue ai being one but, not gonna engage w/ that)

What makes you think itch.io would align with your principles? Your reaction is kind of weird, does this actually matter? I don't mean this rhetorically, just kind of surprised.

Sucks to be you

that'd be good for a 90s magazine kirby game ad

Boulevard of Broken 2k3 Dreams

welp guess this weekend i might try and make the best of what i got and slap something together

[RM2K] Different messages for death states (Bosses, etc)

can also just check if the HP is below 50% and double the balanced/intended HP, do your custom death event then actually kill off the enemy automatically. only drawback is if the player manages to "one shot" the boss's original HP then it will skip it. But unlikely if the game is balanced enough.

Boulevard of Broken 2k3 Dreams

im pretty behind as well, might try a 2 week thing, might bail and hope no one notices

@Reincarnation: I can't recall every site but here are some leads

https://web.archive.org/web/20051119082134/http://gamingw.net/reviews/ (surprisingly still functional clicking through a gamepage might be easier)
https://web.archive.org/web/20050308200401/http://www.blade2k.net/reviews/section_1
https://web.archive.org/web/20070223211641/http://uiv2.com/games.php?act=browse&sub=all (click through a game page with a star rating, lot of reviews seem broken though)
https://web.archive.org/web/20021127092859/http://www.radicald.com/ (don't think any of these work)
https://web.archive.org/web/20060321233812/http://rmdatabase.net/?id=games&act=game (review on game pages but dont know if their game pages even work)
https://web.archive.org/web/20050830081047/http://www.phylomortis.com/html/rev-main.html (lot of these work)
https://web.archive.org/web/20060614133549/http://rpgartisans.com/index.php?page=gamingshowcase (not really reviews, but summaries of games that might not exist?)
https://web.archive.org/web/20030211192435/http://rpgpalace.gamersuplink.com/ (RM2K Game Reviews)
https://web.archive.org/web/20011216072552/http://rpg2knet.com/articles.php?id=3 (doesn't seem to have reviews but does write about some rm2k games)
https://web.archive.org/web/20070322195450/http://www.sol-brave.net/reviews.htm



still online:
http://queenscourt.org/reviews.php
https://www.rpg-maker.fr/jeux-type-rm2000.html (in french and only really has comments but useful if you just want commentary)
http://www.monkeypro.net/games.php (has reviews in the game pages)

Best way to find these sites is to just click through the affiliate links, though it does remind me that we should get around archiving not just games but articles/reviews, or even having a clear map.

This little search has got me curious though, does anyone remember a site called cranky? bear reviews or something like that? I remember him trashing Tabernacle and praising Wild Card, but he had some interesting review commentary on rpgmaker games. From 2003-2006ish era i think.

Current mood: Just ate a pinecone

is monopolo out yet

@NoProblemsHere

Couldn't find a demo zip but it does exist: https://web.archive.org/web/20050620220959/http://www.kamain.com/games.php

edit: kamain's world forums seem to be converted and preserved, but further archival of the game's existence here anyway: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/kamainsworld/one-final-scream-is-complete-t2626.html

https://rpgmaker.net/users/SegNin/locker/dddddddd.txt segnin probably does have it though, just have to wait for him to appear.
