A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky

I've finally completed the game. I'll have a review for it submitted by tonight, most likely.

The Elder Scribes of RMN: Reviewrim

Ok, I'll be reviewing one or more of these three.

Outlaw City
Seven Mysteries
Super Mario Bros. X - The Apocalypse of Foroze

Hopefully nobody will fly in a snatch the revue at the last minute.


Someone's already reviewing Outlaw City, just so you know.

Still finishing Outlaw City between trying to do some work. I think short games work better for review events, don't they? Still going to finish this one, though.

RMN loading times

There has been maybe once or twice in the last two days when the site didn't insta-load, and even those times have been mild for me, maybe 5-10 seconds at the worst.

Well I've submitted my review for Pokemon Dusk. Unfortunately since urano23 already bet to to revewing the game I'm going to have to pick something else and review that to. Fantastic.


It's been previously established that a duplicate review still counts for this event, though :D

Is people aware that there are two reviews for Halo's Mixtape? Are both of them valid? O-O
Both are valid. Any review made during the duration is valid, technically! I just prefer if you review games without reviews yet.

The Exquisite Corpse Challenge

Keep in mind that a finished game is a hell of a lot more complex than a drawing or even a story. It's also going to take a lot more time. And it seems like there would need to be someone in charge.

If you want an example of a community game done in a really cool way, check out Craze's Wyrm Warriors. If you want to keep this one going, I'd at the very least establish what RPG Maker (or other program) the game will be on. Then all the resources can be made to best fit that engine.

[Poll] Game Titles

Why not just "Demon liberation" or "Day of Liberation"? Heck, why not just "Liberation"? Is it really that important to make the title of your game sound all obscure and stuff? Will at least the Swahili language be prominent in the game or something? And if so, why not just "Mashetani *insert-swahili-word-for-liberation-here"? and avoid mixing languages.

I don't know, it's cool if your game has a mythos and everything, but unless it's very interesting, I'd rather understand what I'm reading.
I guess it doesn't matter much for RPG Maker games, but usually you'd want your game to be found via Google and that only works well with unique names.
Finding a game named liberation might be quite hard.

Not to mention that I find the name "Demon Liberation" to be boring.

But there's a bigger issue to me. Just because the game is in English and not Swahili doesn't mean that the creator should replace everything with a bland English synonym, in my opinion. We've got mythological and cultural references in games that span the globe but ones from an African perspective are rare.

If "Mashetani" is an important word that means a distinct group, I say keep it. Hell, it'd be like someone saying "yokai and oni are confusing and/or boring in your game set in Japan. Change them to 'ghost' and 'ogre'." Or, if we pretend that a mythology closer to the western world was somehow less known, it'd be like "Change 'Excalibur' to 'King Sword.'"

The Screenshot Topic Returns

@Schwer-von-Begriff: I like the idea of the contrast of the more sterile medical machines against the more personal feel of the room.

I think your floor tile looks fine, personally, although the darker line every seven or so planks of wood seems a little odd, but not terrible.

And I don't think the white "roof" ceiling autotile looks bad either, but making it just a couple shades darker would make the room "pop" a little more.

Okiku, Star Apprentice

I'm personally aiming for 1 or 2 demo updates and then going for the full game, on my own first project on RMN. (Of course, other things could also happen to make me change my mind XD )

But ultimately it doesn't matter. You can have as many or as few as you like.

Fingers crossed for good luck on those reviews! :D

I want to review your game demo

Cool, just checking :D

I want to review your game demo

You should maybe switch me and UPRC (or put mine on the bottom of the list) because mine's not quite done yet. :D
