Description



Some of you might not know what a Release Something! Day (RS!D) is. Basically, it's a day where you release something - anything! - in order to get feedback from the community.

Release Something! Days used to be a regularly occurring events back when the community had a problem with releasing stuff. It was created as a way to encourage sharing, collaboration, feedback, and content in the community. The aim is to truly try to capture the spirit of releasing something.

It is not about prepping a major release, or making something in a fury to have something new to show for the event. It is about showing your works-in-progress, getting feedback, and checking out what other people are working on. Like a snapshot of RMN's development community.


WHATTA RELEASING?
Music, tiles, sprites, graphics of any type, gameplay (videos of gameplay tests are good), tech demos, demos - even completed games (but don't strive for a finished product; that's not the point of RS!D).


GOTTA HAVE RULES
- To 'Release Something' just upload it straight to this event page. Sign in/up, then hit 'Submit' in the top right corner of the page and browse until you find the file you want to 'Release'. Voila~
- You can release more than one thing, but try to make sure it's something you've been working on at least recently (say, in the last month or so). Keep it relevant!
- Release all through the weekend.
- DO NOT steal the things you see here, if someone wants feedback on a resource or script. I doubt we have to say it, but it's worth saying just in case someone uses the 'but you never said...' shit to justify being a fuckwit.
- To give feedback, use @username and then hide tags (depending on length and amount of feedbacks in post. So, for example:

@Liberty
[hide]this page is pretty awesome but hey, I think you need to work on your logo making abilities because holy shit giiiiirl[/hide]



GOTTA GET GOODIES
There will be a badge worth 10 MS for releasing something. One per person.
Best feedback givers will also get a badge worth 20 MS. Because the feedback is what counts most!


Just to re-iterate: You are releasing something :ANYTHING: that you have done on your project over the last month or two. It can be a screenshot, a face image, planned dialogue, a script snippit, a resource, a demo (if you have one on hand) or a video of a system or anything like that. It does not have to be something that you whip up over this weekend - in fact, it's HIGHLY ENCOURAGED that you NOT do that! Just dump something in! Or a few somethings!


GO GO GO GO GO GO GOTTA GO FASTER!!!!

Also, maybe next time, if we ever decide to do another event like this with compiling a list of names, we’ll get you do it for us, Irog. We’ll use you as cheap labour.


It smells like a trap... and a way to show my inefficiency at doing the task. I should stop to bother event experts and get back to work on MinST.

That said, I think you spelt Ilan wrong because I had to do short lists instead of one major one due to his name not working - it straight out blanks if there's any name that's not correct in the list of names which is a bit annoying but once you figure out where the trouble is...

Did I spell llan’s name wrong in the list? Hmmm… *double checks*

Oh - I see why it didn’t work for you initially. His username in his URL address has it under a capital I instead of a lower case one, so that’s why it f**ked up, lol. Oh well.

author=Liberty
Oh, and for your trouble I sent a badge winging your way for the help. Thanks again, Addit.

Oh, sweet! I guess it was worth all of that trouble to go through all of that for you and everyone else here. Thanks a lot! :)

Only dinkledaberry, Kylaila, pianotm and Red_Nova were the only ones who provided feedback on ALL of the entries.
ALLof the entries !!!
Did they give feedback to themselves ? ;-)

Oh, I made sure to watch out for anyone who tried to do that. There were a couple of people, as a joke, that tried to submit some feedback for themselves, but none of those guys were even close in the same league with those that received the Knux badge, so it wasn't a big worry.

Also, maybe next time, if we ever decide to do another event like this with compiling a list of names, we’ll get you do it for us, Irog. We’ll use you as cheap labour.

And, yeah, I used word to do this in too. Just faster for me.
@Kylaila Aw, thanks, Kylaila. I appreciate you saying that!
author=Liberty
Yeah, word was faster since you could just list names then add names under them. Having to check each row and column for each person was a lot slower, especially with having to scroll back and forth across due to the sheer number of names (thus columns needed).


I think there's something called Freeze Panes.

At least, you have experience with both methods. So I should consider word as potentially faster for this kind of task.

I lost the file after an unexpected shutdown.

I sometimes wonder if pen and paper is the best way to go...
@Irog - I'd actually done that to start with but it was both incredibly slower than using a word document, and I lost the file after an unexpected shutdown. :/

*chuckle* I am well aware.

If you plan to take them away, I will start growling.
I was just joking about the fact that none of us commented his/her own submission.
Likewise!
Like yours Gourdy. Such a cool story-driven game!
I enjoyed seeing what everyone was working on. Good event, everyone~

Whoo! This was great :)
I was replying to the feedback given! And explaining myself! HAH!

If you plan to take them away, I will start growling.
If you then do it anyway..
Thanks a lot Liberty and Addit!

I would like to suggest a method to handle future feedback event checking. I don't want to offend any of you. I'll be happy if the idea below (or some part of it) helps you:

* open your favorite spreadsheet editor
* copy all participant names in the first column, leaving the first row empty
* copy all participant names in the first row, leaving the first column empty
* columns are feedback givers, rows are feedback receivers
* put a "1" in the cells where a giver gave feedback to a receiver
* at the bottom of each column, compute the sum of the column
* you have your winners when the sum of the column is NumberOfParticipant-1
* have two cells somewhere else in the spreadsheet. One with "Page of posts done" and the other with the value. Each time you're done with a page, you can save and quit, keeping your progress.
* to mark a cell as checked, turn its color to green

Yeah, I didn't expected it too. xD

Thanks for your work with the compiling, Liberty and Addit. (⌒.⌒)❤
Hey, I didn't thought I would get the feedback achievement when I just gave feedback to like... five or six people... XD
