INDRA'S PROFILE

So, SO IN. *drags Fomar with her*

I say yes. Will try to not to rant too much ;m;

People who would post their commercial demos here will probably be the same users as always, I doubt many commercial developers will land here especially just to dump their demos unless they want actual feedback. There is next to no benefits for them from an advertising point of view: hobby game developers rarely buy RM games.

Be it because we always inherently feel like "we could do better" or "it isn't worth our money", I've rarely talked with any RMer who feels comfortable with actually buying those games. If we do, it's usually because we've been utterly convinced to do so by the game's quality, good reviews, etc, but it's very rare.

From what I gather, the people who actually purchase these commercial games regularly are an entirely different crowd. That's why some "low quality" commercial games can make any sells at all: the buyers are usually not developers. They do not know what goes backstage and how much or how little works into everything. RMers and similar DO, and are much harder to impress, so to speak.

Basically, I doubt this would change anything on the site. There will always be crap games, commercial or not, as well as great games. Some will have a link leading outside for the full download, but so what? You know from the get go that project WILL cost money, the maker is not being secretive about it, and he's probably there only because he's a regular from the site or soemone else, wanting feedback to improve his commercial game. You can always ignore them.

I honestly see nothign wrong with the whole thing. RMN is not this huge plataform where every single newbie wants to be for publicity; a few strangers may pop in and try to just dump their demos and nothing else, but I think it would mostly be the regular users trying their luck and wanting feedback.

Besides, if the worst happens and some absolute dickshit lands here and shows a terrible commecial project, he will just probably get booed out of the site XD

If a DEVELOPER of all people can't be bothered to even include the most basic instructions on how to play or run a game that's... honestly a bit worrying.

In the DOWNLOAD page of DMN you will find:
"Completed game. (v.1.0) RTP not included.
If you need to download the VXACE RTP, you can find it here:
http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/download/run-time-package"

And the first thing you see when you hit new game is a controls guide.

I should think that's enough for a site that's all about hsoting games that more or less follow the same rules. Was this a totally unrelated site, sure, I'd have added loads of explanations, but that is not the case :I

Can I ask how mine did not follow the rules? I'm pretty sure everything was there and it was themed correctly.

He means not including the RTP.

And that's...I think...I mean...it's the RTP. In a RM SITE. Why is that an issue, they're like the main supported program :/
And if a JUDGE of all people can't be bothered to download eve the basic tools that's...honestly a bit worrying.

Also haha thanks Craze. Damn, I should have been mean and voted for myself! Darn morals ;m;

The game is maybe 5 minutes max, surely your chatting can wait for that long?

See? Thats the thing. A game can't really force me to be FULLY INTENT ON IT. Same would go for a game that can't be paused. If I want to put my entire attention for it, it's my choice, and I will porbably do it, but the second it's forced on me, I will rebel (yes, we're rebellious tenneager gamers, you aren't the boss of me! >U)

And I tried alt+enter but did nothing. :I So I hijacked the script section and ripped it out. Probably if I had noticed the F5 thing I would have been as irritated by it.
