SNOWOWL'S PROFILE

author=Shinan
Remember when games had demos you could play to get a more accurate idea of what a game was?

Those were the days.

Who has time to play games, and much less demos, nowadays.

that many new players

As in not zero. Yes you will get more players. It probably won't be that many though.
Just upload the game on more actual game sites instead of blogging and try to ask some people to play it or something.
Especially if you don't even enjoy blogging and just do it for the views, it will just come off as attention whoring.

Unless you're a bigshot with a fantastic game, or spend as much time as you do on the game making the blog look good, almost nobody will care how good you feel after making a new sprite for your main character.

I've wasted a lot of time on blogging half seriously, so I know from experience that either you go all in and spend alot of time on it, time that you could have put on the game, or there's no point.

As someone who has had a tumblr for a couple of years, I say it's a waste of time to use tumblr for anything related to game making. Unless you spend at least an hour a day on networking, which in my opinion, is a waste of time when you could polish the game instead. Use some bigger platform instead, like twitter, which also has the added bonus of having a lesser percentage of really freaky people.

I guess you can always get a tumblr too, and just copy-paste what you post on the other platform. But by that logic, you can get dozens of social media platforms ro post on. I think it's best to focus on one, and tumblr isn't the biggest and best, so get something else.

I usually exaggerate the stuff I say. I guess it shows that the average age here is over 20. Otherwise people would be screaming and kicking alot louder than they already are. And calling me worse things than a screaming baby.
Still, I do enjoy these discussions and at least they are usually alot more civilized than most other places. It's good fun, and some people even try to argue with me without namecalling. RMN is impressive, in some ways.

"Feminists" are not a majority that influences ticket sales. And in the world of blogs, I've seen their choices blasted as much (if not more) than praised with regards to the casting, so that angle doesn't make sense, either.

Just scream loud enough and you don't have to be in the majority to make people listen to you. You're right though, their choice was blasted, because like I said Hollywood and feminists are almost polar opposites so even if they try to pander to that group, they usually fail spectacularly. There's also the fact that it's almost impossible to make feminists happy.

[When was the cast ever all male? How is the cast now all female?
All they've done is mirror the genders from the original, the four leads are now female and the supporting characters are now male.

I'm sure they just did it for no reason.
I'm sure nobody at the movie planning meetings said:
"Hey Adam, the old movies were hated by feminists, how can we make those people happy too?"
"I'm glad you asked, John. I have a revolutionary idea that will blow the mind of you. How about we make the main characters... ALL FEMALE!? I know, it's hard to wrap you mind around, but I'm sure that will send the feminists on a blogging rampage about how feministic the movie is."
"Brilliant! Adam, you're promoted!"
