Gamejolt ad revenue sharing?

Firstly, sorry if people have already talked about this, I haven't seen a topic like that.

I saw an advertisement on GW for a site called Gamejolt (http://gamejolt.com/developers/ad-sharing/), that is working on giving amateur developers a cut of the ad revenue that any of their games generate. Dreaming of NotSMW generating $0.12 a month and being THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING, I've signed up, but haven't quite uploaded my game yet (they don't seem to accept demos. Well, demo uploads, anyway. I think 'In production' gamepages are fine).

I'm just a naturally a little cautious. At the moment everything seems fine. It's not like you're selling the ripped graphics or anything, and a mirror's a mirror, I guess... it's just, the moment money comes into the equation, something seems a little off. I just wanted to know some of your opinions on it, I suppose. Any massive reason I'm missing why this is a bad idea or should I not be looking a gift horse in the mouth? Discuss.

Guess the Game!!!

... Shadow Hearts?

If you'd count it as a sequel to Koudelka. Definitely the same universe, anyway...


If it isn't, and someone posts something else, you have to tell us anyway! I want to know, now.

What are you thinking about right now?

Also Gold/Silver remake yes

Black Sigil for the DS -- it's like FF6 and CT had a baby

Yeah, I was amazed to find out that this was made in the west. I didn't know it was coming out so soon, though! Everything said, I think it looks kinda nice, so I'll probably get it.

It looks like it genuinely has the feel of an amateur/indie/RM/whatever game... but in an endearing way. The same reason I bought Astonishia Story. You feel like you're doing them a favour. Looking forward to it, though!

Suddenly, I want to start making Wikipedia for random RM games. Unfortunately, I know such an endeavour would draw more Wikipedia/RM Community drama than it is worth enduring.
Not really sure where this came from, but I think that would still be a pretty cool idea. It could actually be fairly useful! There's already this one, but it's kind of crappy...

Whatever you can do to deliver gameplay in five minutes or less...do it.

That is what I have learned.

Out of curiosity, what would you classify 'gameplay'? The start of the actual game, or just anything controllable?

As in, at the start of my current game I put a fairly-relevant controllable scene that probably went a little past 5 minutes, before getting to the actual heroes. Just wondering!


And, yeah. I think in media res is probably the way to go. An endless RPGMaker textbox history lesson on a parallax background is a little bit VERY HORRIBLE. Nevertheless, it's never actually stopped me playing a game. I know that some people feel very strongly about this, though, and will likely just F12 when they get '1000 years ago, a terrible catastrophe befell the land of--'.

[RM2K3] 'Event script referenced a monster that does not exist'

... everything seems to be in order, there. :(

All the ones I've had problem with (and any 'attack all' really will be) just the standard 'No movement, skill use pose', and that's the default for every character, so it's defined for all of them. Tsk.

I ought to be studying for my final exam tomorrow morning
Dude!

I couldn't resist

I just finished watching an episode of Seinfeld literally 30 seconds ago. Came straight to RMN and this was the first topic I came to! Get OUT of my head Yoshio

George did always strike me as a dark knight-type.


Edit: and no, I don't think I have ever had fun with name-entry systems in RM games! I don't think I have since like Pokemon Red. What a boring person I am.

[RM2K3] 'Event script referenced a monster that does not exist'

... or something to that effect, anyway. Occasionally, when I use an 'attack-all' spell on a single enemy, I get that message, and it crashes the game. Has anyone experienced this before? It's... really quite annoying. It's happened with a couple of different moves, as well.
