MIRAK'S PROFILE

Kinda off topic because this is more in response to previous posts than the last ones but as a native spanish speaker, I'd dislike the idea of a place like this declaring itself international in the sense that it won't or wouldn't have a primary language.

RMN is fine as an english website, since the administration speaks in english as a primary language (I think one of our taglines said something along the lines of "an english-based website ran by an australian admin about japanese-developed software" or something like that) and everyone comes here with that in mind which is why you don't see many threads in the forums in other languages. I'm not sure what part of RMN becoming an "international website" would be good, when all websites of the sort end up with a messy Games section the likes of which I won't elaborate upon because I can't do it without it becoming a rant.

I've seen the 'dump and run' mentality liberty speaks about in other communities like this one whenever it's decided there shall be no more gatekeeping when it comes to language barriers, so many games with no business being there end up being uploaded anyway because the staff doesn't have anyone that speaks the language in the game, so they can't check what kind of content there was in games other than the visual aspects of it and Shit followed. I wouldn't like that here.

I'd support kory's idea of a new tag simply called "non-english", since it could help when combining it with other tags when it comes to finding games in foreign languages using our rusty search engine, but I'm not sure I'd be in support of allowing say, gamepages that were written in whatever language everyone wanted or game versions without also adding an english translation.

In the rare cases where someone would like to upload various versions of a game's language, and if you feel like adding multiple downloads but being allowed just a primary download button isn't enough of an indicator for your audience to know there are other languages available, then you have options to do stuff with the gamepage's CSS. Like, you can perform a ghetto solution and do something like what I did with one of my games, where I basically hid the main download button and added two big colorful buttons at the top indicating the available downloads. Unsurprisingly, the amount of downloads I got for the english version were a lot more compared to the downloads for the spanish version, even though I promoted the game much more in spanish gamedev communities than I did in english ones.

Regarding the last post, I'm not sure what would be easier programming wise, if to add a non-english tag, or add these two sections OP asks for.

"El Arte is a top tier mid 2000s Newgrounds shitpost, it just so happens to be made in RPG Maker instead of in Flash MX."

I love this sentence. You couldn't have described this game better.
Thank you very much for this review!!

btw i couldn't find a link to your channel could you post it?
that way i can subscribe and stuff.

It seems you can have up to 10 members in your team.
I don't really feel prepared to take on a leadership role because i have no good ideas for a game, but I'd like to participate in other forms so if anyone wants help let me know. Throw a PM or something.

I'm guessing everyone already knows what I do but in case this is not so I do music and anything belonging to the graphics department. Check my profile for links to samples.

Oh shit it already started.
Oh shit I just have 6 days.
