Offering Detailed Game Reviews (by flap)

@Unity: It did the same to me. Weird. Unity is talking about your link, Davenport, btw.

@Marrend: I'd gladly wait till you have your demo updated. No fun to get critiqued for outdated work! Can you tell me more about the game? How long is it, and all that other jazz I asked for in the OP?

@Davenport: Please give me more to work with than "Try my game." I laid out the specifics of what I'm asking for before I review very clearly. Besides, posting details about the game is promotion in and of itself!

Offering Detailed Game Reviews (by flap)

I'd like to offer to review some games, but I'm gonna be a little picky about which ones! I specifically want to review quality games that the creators feel need feedback, not just games that are already in the limelight. When you propose for me to review your game, please do the following:



* Describe how you want your game to feel to other people. This is super-important! If you want your game to feel action-packed or fantasy-genre or comical, tell me. If you really want the dialogue to feel professional or the magic system to feel original, say so. I'll review it with those things in mind and tell you how strongly I think the presentation matches your vision for it. The more specific you are, the more it will show me that you have a solid idea of what you want the game to be, and the more likely I am to play it.

* Only submit polished games. It doesn't have to be perfect, but if I start the game and you have major passability or spelling errors, I'll stop playing it right away and make a note on this thread saying "Your Game (canceled due to lack of polish)" or something like that.

* Don't be offended if I don't choose your game. You probably wouldn't want me to review a game that didn't interest me, so consider it a favor. Also, I simply may not have the time for your specific project.

* Let me know if you want a ranked review or just feedback (N/A rating).

* Include the length and maturity rating of the game.

* Demos are fine :-)



I hope I'm not coming across harshly. I actually enjoy a great many games, and encourage newbies to submit theirs as well. Just make sure you follow the criteria above when you submit it.

I will only start a queue of three (3) games. I've seen a lot of game review threads flounder and fail from taking on too much.

I might pm you when I choose to add your game. If you don't pm me back in 5 days, I won't add your game to the queue! Once again, I'm only interested in games from serious developers!

All that being said, let the reviews begin!

(If you want to contribute a review in return, Farmyard Chronicle is always open for more reviews.)

[Revive the Dead] Game Discussion

I like this idea. I downloaded a couple games that I haven't started, so I'll try to join in the discussion when I get to them.

Are you going to start a different topic for every single game? Or just hope the idea catches on?

Gourdy wants you(r game)!

I don't mind the wait for a review. Of course, if you prioritize shorter games, feel free to bump mine up, haha ;-) Nah, I suppose I can wait just fine!

Congrats on getting those reviews out, Kel. Keep em coming!

I need ideas on how to structure a non-linear puzzle game

Farmyard Chronicle is a very similar style to what you're describing. It's a fairly short game if you want to check it out for ideas, complete with multiple endings based on how much "optional" content you complete.
