It'd be kinda neat to keep a dev diary in game some time, with what you were thinking about or what you'd just eaten or what was going terribly wrong each time you worked on the game. It'd be an exercise for both player and developer.

Also I just read through like 10 pages of catmitts posts on RMN and it was a real trip down memory lane. REMIND ME TO PICK UP 50 SHORT GAMES even if I never play them you've earned $5 or whatever for being my gateway into weird short games all those years ago

How do you feel about profanity in RPG Maker games?

I used a fair amount of profanity in my last game. To be fair, it was set both in the modern day and in a building on fire, so it seemed natural. Some people don't like it and argue it rarely adds but it adds punch and who swears and who doesn't can say something about your characters.

It's generally easy to find an alternative to swearing, though, I'll admit.

A question: what kind of games are Game Jolt interested in? Are they a big fan of RPGs or adventure games? 2d/3d? What seems to be their buzz?

Since a lot of the major buzz around here seems to be either old school JRPGs or horror exploration games... (maybe because that's the games you can make well using the engine)
There's a pretty wide base of games on GameJolt. They're interested more in small, quirky projects that do something a little different or are offbeat in some way. There's a big call for indie horror games there as well. I think it's really the case that it's the developer's job to make their market, and at least in my experience GameJolt is responsive to many types of content. That's the main place I can think of for RPG Maker games. I can't really make a call on whether there'd be much demand there for more genre-conforming JRPGs. One plus is the RTP doesn't have the same reputation to non-RPG Maker users, or at least not yet.

And either way, it's not costing you anything but a bit of time to put your game up on there and see what happens!

Posting on sites other than RMN is really important too. Gamejolt is a great one for noticing games that may go unappreciated here. Post everywhere that you relevantly can.

The Screenshot Topic Returns

Actually, it might be the window. I definitely feel the default-looking window isn't doing you any favours, and the lines in the background make the text look funny when you glance over it, I think.

Looks interesting, Louis! I'm not quite sold on the font though, it looks nicer the more I look at it, but at first it was off-putting. And before it kills me, in the first screenshot you spelt profession "proffesion".
