Let's Draw a Pass-Off Comic! -Finished!-

Awwright, there it goes. G'luck, Ratty!

FOUR STARS...for what ??

@alterego The individual score ratings sound pretty cool and also useful!

@Liberty When you guys fix the characters->words thing on the review page you should also include that bit about video reviews then, so people who don't roam the forums can know too XD

FOUR STARS...for what ??

Agreeing with Liberty here. You guys have already gone over everything I suppose though >_o

I'd imagine that the reviews section might turn out like Amazon if you were to allow super short reviews. But worse, since there's not a "helpful" score to show which ones can be considered game development critique and not kneejerk player reactions.

Well, I'm assuming that reviews fulfill two purposes: to inform potential players of the game's ups and downs (helping them decide if they want to play the game), and to inform game developers of what worked and what didn't work. As such, short reviews that are vague and provide no direct examples of game content and how it contributed/detracted from the overall game experience are no better than feelings rants (ala OMG!! SO GOOD U NEED TO PLAY IT this game is sooo cute<333, except with less teen girl lingo). If there are short reviews that do fulfill those two purposes, then great. If not, well, we have the comment section.

As for "How to encourage people to post more reviews?" I'd say that the template suggestion is pretty nice as a guide for people who need help organizing their thoughts into words.

Video/audio reviews might also be nice for people who prefer to talk rather than type! Podcasts and podfics are going strong, so I'd suppose podreview wouldn't be bad, right? ... Right? This also ties in with the suggestion that LPs should include a right to cast a rating, if LPs are considered like live reviews. (Which I personally think do count, since they show developers how players really interact with and experience the game).

CaptainCube, Lexyvil, and TheLovelyBones, thanks so much for playing and commenting! We'll definitely try to make more and better games of this nature (once June's competition is done, at least). The next game of the series is planned out, and with any luck we'll have it finished by November 25 =w=)b

@Lexyvil hehe yup, you're not the only one who got stuck there! That's something I'll be fixing up in the newer games so that people won't have to suffer the frustration of standing in the exact right spot to talk XD

"SUPER ROMEO & JULIET RPG" parody screens are going around tumblr and they look hilarious.

Dreaming Mary

HAHAHAHAH UNEXPECTED.
Hey college buddy, I guess =P

If you're still going to be around Monty next year I'll be moving there in Fall (all Monty classes eyooo), so if you see some weird-ass asian girl with DM buttons on her messenger bag you can go ahead and say hi.

You don't get any prizes though.

And thanks! ;)

Just to let you guys know, this project is on hiatus until the huge "indie game maker contest with a prize of $10k thing" is finished. But it will continue and be completed after that. Apologies for the delay.


No prob man, and good luck on your game as well!

e

And hey, it's back.

I'll bet 1.80M views and 250k downloads. >_o

MOGTIP: Make healing items worth something. If the player is able to buy 99 Potions in the first quarter of the game and then ironically, forget about using them, something ain't right.

Not sure if your statuses are referring to specific games or not but they're pretty hilarious and insightful. Kudos to you man
