FUNdamentals of an RPG - Part I: The Role of the Player
I think you are forgetting the part that occured before that, where Brickroad advertised his game to every community he could find in a positive way hoping to find a new userbase. He was never really satisfied with just #rm2k loving the game, as you are well aware.
His posts routinely were knocked off the front page until they disappeared from sight. GW, Charas, Township... anyone that would listen. And they all ignored it.
It's pretty obvious to me.
Note: Hero's Realm also looks and presents itself as an old school emulation, to the very sprites. Granted, he does use some RTP but there are a lot of throwback graphics to be found. Kentona advertises his game as an homage to NES and early SNES style games. Kinetic Cipher is NOT meant to be a throwback. It's an entirely new game. But the fact that you even associate the two is evidence of the poor graphic design found in Kinetic Cipher. :D

Well, I think it's an excellent article! It's helpful to homebrew designers to have someone with a good deal of insight spell out the what's whats and the what's nots of various player and game types. I don't think many people in this community think much about other players -- they always focus strictly on what they like the most about games, and routinely overlook whatever anyone else cares about.
Totally. Unfortunately almost all amateur developers fall into this rut. Even you maladroit, though we love you anyways.
Example: Brickroad likes dungeons and combat, so he focused his game around that. He stuck with the RTP graphics and stock music, deeming them efficient enough. He failed to see how the RTP aspects of his game would be negatively viewed and would undermine his efforts in the dungeon realm. Thusly, most didn't play Kinetic Cipher because it looked the same as Don Adventure's from way back when and they went to games that looked like they had more effort put into them. It's unfortunate, but you have to try to make your game for everyone unless you like being relegated to niche roles or even worse: obscurity.
And you are...? (THE INTRODUCTION THREAD)
You can go ahead and submit your game now. You can add the demo at a later time (when you add the demo it will show on the frontpag as well, so its not necessarily buried).

I've been packing for a move lately. Going back to the States (from Canada!)
You shall be welcomed home as a traitor, as obviously your time spent in Canada was to attend a terrorist training camp and/or be brainwashed by liberals.

Well, that will be your fate if you continue to make posts only directing our users elsewhere. Even your other posts of some content just tease and force people to go to you site to see the real deal. If you want to be a part of OUR community then enjoy posting here... but if you're just here to be a human google ad for RPGUnleashed, then I will strongly recommend you seek an alternative method of getting clicks.
* Note: This is not setting a precendance for advertising your websites on RMN. You are free to do so, but do not come to RMN thinking you can just spam your site day in and day out without contributing to RMN in some way (besides increasing our post counts.)
