SAILERIUS'S PROFILE

Sailerius
did someone say angels

Something happened to me last night when I was driving home. I had a couple of miles to go. I looked up and saw a glowing orange object in the sky. It was moving irregularly. Suddenly, there was intense light all around. And when I came to, I was home.

What do you think happened to me?
Vacant Sky Vol. 1: Conte...
I died once. (Complete Edition Act II+ now available!)

Sorry if I came across as sounding arrogant. That wasn't my intention. I just don't like reviewing demos because they're a work in progress. I know that personally, whenever I put out a demo, I know that a lot of areas are lacking polish so it's redundant if someone were to review it and tell me that "area B needs to be cleaned up/is buggy/is empty." Generally, with a complete game, the creator has the game polished to his satisfaction, so reviews can make him aware of flaws that he wasn't aware of.

I'm not making a bunch of demands. I thought it would be fun.
Welp, fair enough.

I have three finished games on the site. All of them are fairly dated, but I think that Backstage and Iron Gaia: Virus stand up fairly well over time on the merits of their stories. Not everyone agrees. If you'd like to take a crack at either of those, I'd appreciate it. Both have a play time of ~5-7 hours if I recall correctly. In either case, I am looking for a measured and informed opinion somewhere between the haters and the fans, preferably more on the side of the latter than the former. : P

Be warned that Backstage is a psychological horror adventure game, and IG:V is a very nontraditional jRPG with CRPG elements that is a gaiden to a game that you have never played and a game I might be embarrassed to have you play, if your standards aren't calibrated to the standards of 2004. So you can choose whichever of those two tickles your fancy better.

As for the pitch, I'll leave it to the game pages.

I love psychological horror, so I'll give Backstage a shot.

Oh what the hell

COMPLETE CHAOS: http://rpgmaker.net/games/284/

Why you should play it:
Loads of hours of gameplay, big cast, NUMBERS, action-packed and fast moving plot, no filler dungeons, touch encounters, mature cast, modern setting and extremely scarce usage of typical RPG cliches and conventions. For better or worse, I doubt you've played a game like this!

Why I'd like a review:
It's my first completed game in almost three years and although I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on it...no one has reviewed it yet. *explodes*
Perhaps the game is SO epic that it's too big to review! It must be played, not read<3

Sounds good! Added to the list.

Ah, most excellent. I have had a hard time getting feedback. My game Vindication took over seven years to make, but lest that fool you into thinking its design was of epically grand scope, there was something like a five and a half year long hiatus in the middle. It's about 20-30 hours long, and is a comedy with a serious story woven in, like Disgaea.

I would love if you would play it and review it or give me feedback, as I've had very little feedback on all the sites I've posted it on, and almost all the feedback is only reports about trivial bugs that I've since fixed, or else people giggling about a couple of the early jokes. I've yet to obtain anything resembling a review and would be honored if you would play at least the first couple hours.

Sure thing!

five years old now, and still no review on here.
Mana Conquest is the first game I ever completed, and while it's dated by most standards, I'd appreciate someone saying something about it, even if it's bad.
edit:
I don't think he came off as arrogant. Not all of us have all the time in the world, and he just wants to make sure he's not wasting his time reviewing something that is not in it's final iteration/may have already been fixed/changed/canceled.
I'm playing it now and I'm stuck on the soldier's training. I'm at the question where it asks the name of the town. It is Dera, isn't it? Is there a specific space I need to put at the end? There are quite a few empty space characters. I had no problems getting Eddie.

Also, one of the quiz questions is "What is your last name?" Seriously?
err, all of them are mentioned in the game at some point, it's Raygley, I think that was the spelling. I can check if that's not it... XD
Dera is the right answer, but you don't need a space at the end of a four letter word. I did it that way because the hero naming screen is glitchy and doesn't show the last letter of a word that has an odd number of letters in it.

I know that they're all mentioned in the game, but that's really silly. One of the questions in the entrance exam to become a knight is asking your name? Your home town?

I'll give it a shot. The need to use spacing seems really arbitrary.

I hate when games cling to dated mechanics to make their game seem more "old school." Serious offenders include: not being fully healed at save points, party members not receiving EXP if they're KOed, and party members not receiving EXP if they're not in the party. These mechanics do nothing but annoy the player. It's an artificial way of boosting the difficulty and it does nothing but piss me off.
For you, maybe. Subjectiveness.

Well, this thread is about personal pet peeves...they're subjective by nature.

This completed game that I had a part in making is really itching for a review.

I think you posted the wrong link.

My first game submitted to this site, its a short puzzle game with an increasing difficulty level.

Ooh, a review thread! Time to fire the PH cannon!

Here's the deal: my first three games are all complete, but they also all suck and are well-reviewed. Feedback on them wouldn't really help me much.

My 4th game, however, is in development and has a fair-length demo on which feedback would DEFINITELY help (because there's still time, oh so much time, to fix and change things).

Finally, all my games are essentially clones of each other, so in that sense, it doesn't matter which you play (they're all the same!). Though I'm trying to fix things with the 4th that were painful and bad with the 1st three.

All that said, here's the pitch!

Would you like to play my game, Pokémon Hunter*? It's a series!

*pick one

I'll give it a shot.

He can indeed review or not review whatever he wants. As can anyone else.

But no one else is posting a topic asking for games to be pitched specifically to them, for them to accept or reject. They're just reviewing the games they feel like reviewing and not reviewing the games they don't feel like reviewing. In fact, aren't we specifically not supposed to be plugging/whoring our games on the forums anymore? Isn't that what gamepages are for?

The other thing that seems strange to me is that with all of these standards and requirements, Sailerius has never reviewed a single game on this site. Fallen-Griever has reviewed 20 grojillion games and has no special requirements to consider your game for review. I'm just saying.

Obviously Sailerius is free to review or not review whatever he wants and people are free to react however they like to his disposition and manner.

Anyway, I am done here. Everyone go about your business.

Now that I'm out for the summer, I want to get out and start playing a lot more RMN games, especially ones that have gone under the radar or otherwise haven't received much feedback. So, I'm offering to review any game hosted on here with a few terms and conditions:

1) I will only be playing complete games. No betas or demos. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis for episodic games.
2) I promise to play each game for at least 2 hours in order to get a feel for it. If your game holds my interest, I'll continue playing it, but I won't force myself to keep playing it if I'm not into it.
3) Only submit your game if you want feedback. The main reason I'll be writing a review will be to give you tips and suggestions on how to improve.
4) To submit a game, reply in this thread with a link to the game profile and a one-sentence pitch about your game. I'll be basing the order I play the games on how much the pitch interests me.

That being said, I look forward to playing your games!
