On the Worship of Vaporware

Play more games? Considering you've JUST NOW HEARD of Chromatose and The Colony, this isn't surprising.


So these two have had their RMN game profiles rougly 5 and 7 months. I don't know how long a game would have to have a profile before they would consider vaporware, perhaps a year? I have seen the Colony, but never cared to look at it. I guess I don't get as easily caught in whatever hype people are cooking up. Chromatose I became aware of because of RS! X.

BTW, roughly 40% of the RMN games are Complete. That they many of them don't live up to their billing would be another matter.

edchuy, that's because they're a tester.

Oh, thanks for clearing that up.

EDIT: Wait, so that means I could have game listed under my profile. WOO HOO!

That's not the issue, F-G. It's all well and good and expected that people will like pretty things. The problem is that they are lauded as The Best Games. But... they don't exist. You can't compare how fun/interesting a game is to some screenshots that aren't backed up yet.


Screenshots are a major part of it. To a lesser extent are promised features and plot (if there's even one). In a sense, it's all a tease until a download of some sort make them a reality (for better or worse).

Some developer's profiles list games that aren't developed by them. The two I have detected so far:

- Deckiller's lists Teluna Everlast-Act I: An Angel's Blood
- Liberty lists Legend of Denadel

Extend and Open

Now that's definitely a reason to play this new version. I might even have the nerve to play around with the editor eventually. I'm hoping other people who do come up with something will share their puzzles.

Still working...

I'm glad to hear that you're getting somewhere with this. Look forward to the next update.

Yeah, I probably would've too. I know somebody else who has your game in their list even though they haven't played any of your demos. For a while I was afraid it was going to become vaporware.

Ha, so that was the surprise!

I'm also looking forward to it. Good thing you didn't pay attention to those people and still have gone ahead to finish it. I'll definitely replay from the start to see the changes you've made.
