A Quick Look at RMN Ratings
comment=29196That doesn't mean you're necessarily biased (after all rating is a subjective matter). Perhaps you have been lucky to choose overall better than average games to rate or a slightly nicer than average reviewer without knowing it (almost 58% of your reviews were 3.5 or higher).Getting less than 40% on a degree course means you fail so getting less than 4/10 from me is difficult since that sort of... scoring system has been drilled into me. As a result, I consider 6.5 (ish) to be average rather than 5 so all my rating actually are biased as they are skewed upwards. I've been meaning to re-rate my reviews because of this, I just haven't gotten around to it yet!
Frog, The Collector, 3.25 (2 reviews); Sore Losers, 3.41 (6 reviews). How RMN rounds to those to 3
Tell me about it...
I long got used to the fact that everything is rated down, but the Sore Losers thing still bugs me everytime!
My intent here was to deal with the ratings RMN shows in the gamepages rather than the actual individual ratings of the reviews posted in RMN. Having people reconsider how they rated games was by no means the reason I did this, but if you were planning to reevaluate, that's your prerogative.
I suspect that given that RMN seems to round down the ratings averages, the result was lower averages in graph 2. I wouldn't surprised if the actual averages were from .1 to .2 stars higher if we considered individual reviews. Perhaps, I can sit down and do this particular bit later.

This very interesting!
I find it very sad that only about 60% of completed games have reviews. As one of the 40%(Not that I've had my game up very long) I know how disheartening it can be to not get any feedback, and I can't imagine what it would be like not to get any feedback on a game - ever. After Games Gale I'm going to start fighting this startling statistic!
Also you are a hero for arranging this.
Thanks a lot. There's a little but regarding that, which is when developers have posted that status, even if they haven't necessarily even submitted the game to RMN.
I see your completed game has only been posted for a week and sadly reports 10 downloads. That's another thing that my analysis didn't go into. Also, being of the puzzle adventure genre, probably doesn't help your case either (in my case, getting stuck in a puzzle really frustrates me!) in terms of getting feedback, regardless of whether it's just a comment or detailed as in a rated review. Looking more in depth into those types of issues would definitely be a follow-up, but will require me to dedicate more time and be really inspired to come up with a good compilation of data and corresponding analysis.
Also, I wanted to comment, your Avatar seems to look like it came main image of your game with a bit of a Miro twist.

I played some more of Fallen Wings and think I am nearing the end of the game. However, I found this progress-stopping bug. Another player reported the same thing tonight. We'll see what Everguard has to say about this. Perhaps tomorrow I'll be playing mongoosezxc's Awesome Quest.

okay i've beaten nightmare and beat the guardians of the water and fire temples but when i try to leave the fire temple I get stuck behind the teleporter. I don't know how the other guy managed to beat the game becaure this is a game killing bug, i can't leave the temple, therefore i can't proceed.
I just found the same problem. I would call it, a progress killing bug.

A good half an hour should be sufficient unless math and statistics aren't scare the bejesus out of you.

This was all way over my head and I read it a few times.
Case in point. Don't worry SS, I don't expect everybody to understand what I am showing here. Thanks for trying, though!
Expect a demo in weeks, not months.

This is rather in-depth analysis! I will have to give it a thorough read tomorrow when I have 3 hours to spare ;D

What is the best part about the music industry?
post=136631post=136592I hate it so bad that so many people use that nowadays. If you can't sing on key you have no business trying to both entertain with and make money off of it at the same time.
Not to mention the use of auto-tune (anybody can sing nowadays and not sound off-key nowadays!).
I also don't respect artists who can't sing live either, especially those lip-synchers.
