I downloaded your demo. Found a lot of grammar errors, incomplete sentences, etc. Starting from left to right (as you face your computer screen). KEY --- Any TEXT in BOLD is the correct way or in some cases suggested way. Text in ITALICS explains why it is correct. 1) Should be, "You are now in a battle zone, where fights with enemies are executed." The word ARE is required to make this sentence make sense and be a complete sentence. 2) No suggest for "First, attacking." It seems you mean this to be a TITLE or HEADER. In this case I say remove the comma and the window skin and place it in all CAPS and then continue with your text in a message box. Because of how you use it; as a sentence it is a incomplete sentence. 3) Should be, "Attack is executed by pressing the attack button; C on keyboard." Defaultly is not a real word (not found in a dictionary), plus even if it was you would still need the semi-colon ( ; ) as your sentence travels away from the original subject of the sentence. 4) Should be, "Each attack costs CT. If your CT is insufficient, then you cannot attack." The extra S on ATTACKS is not needed because of the S in COSTS. It is improper use. 5) Should be, "CT recovers gradually when you are not dashing or attacking; rest after each attack." The sentence overall made no real sense because it was worded incorrectly.

Not really. Lets look at an example. If said site had 50 active members and 10 of them are staff; more is not needed. Especially when it comes to MODs and Admins. To much staff and then a site looks like it has active staff members and not actual members. Looking at how many RMXPU active users are it really would not benefit RMXPU.

Well the above is not the only definition of it. Grappler -- An iron shaft with claws at one end, usually thrown by a rope and used for grasping and holding, especially one for drawing and holding an enemy ship alongside. Also called grapnel, grappling, grappling hook, grappling iron (like what you might see in a Ninja movie or knights using to raid a castle).

grappler: combatant who tries to throw opponent to the ground; like a wrestler.

Not much happiness here....

No, just pointing out facts, but if this is how you feel then it is your problem and not mine. Actually yes I did, if your closed minded or do not wish to take advice that also, is not my problem. Did not know that. Hits are irrelevant in this case. PS: Sorry if I am coming off as an @ss, but when one shoots down advice and calls it irrelevant it does piss me off especially since I have a degree in Marketing!!! In any communities defense, spriters like scripters are hard to come by. A need for new and fresh ones would be nice to see. But these are dependent on members. I don't remember when we had a new staff member, but with the amount of active members I don't think this really would help in any shape or form.

Sorry Marked, but I could not resist pointing it out; you mean, "Yes, I knew short domain names are preferred over long ones."

You should know this if you know about SEO. It follows into picking a domain name that best describes what your site is about. Right now your domain name is RMXPUnlimited and was created for and about RPG Maker XP. Thus the domain name made sense as it alone would attract people. Yes, I did point this out already... I was not talking about Google ranks; regardless of the mentioning of where RMXPU falls in on Google or any search site. As I have already stated and thought was CLEAR. I pointed this information out to those who want to keep the domain the same as by all rights and web developer FACT (regardless if you care or not) that keeping RMXPUnlimited with the suggested new ideas is retarded. And that means what if anything? Nothing! If you have a computer running Windows 95 would you not upgrade simply because it does what it needs to do? There is always room for improvement no matter how perfect you think something is. Yes which you do not utilize them to there advantage. You created a Facebook page and Twitter account, but do you use them? It's a known fact that billions of people go on Facebook alone every day (some times more then once) as to Google which is less. 2 million is not that big a deal. Out of them how many of them where bots or even better the percent of those who would have joined or did join is less then 0000000.4%. From this alone and the fact that RMXPU only have maybe at most 100 active members which a rough count of over 1,000 members this information really means nothing.

If you look at colleges their programing is based on C++ because it is the standard language to program in when creating serious games. If you truly are serious I suggest checking these sites out: http://www.gameinstitute.com/ --- Offer a variety of online courses. Price ranging from about $150-$550+ (see site for accurate prices). http://www.gameproducer.net/ --- The forum offers advice from people who have been there and done it. http://www.gdmag.com/homepage.htm --- Official Game Developer magazine. Find who is hiring, ads for colleges, read issues or problems big companies had when making a game (like FF13), read the latest game software, etc (paid subscription; online version and physical). http://www.gamasutra.com/ --- Find job listing and get advice. http://gamecareerguide.com/ --- College information, job listings, advice, free eMagazine, etc. http://www.gamedev.net/ --- The largest Indie Game site/community, advice, tutorials, forums, etc.

Maybe the Casino, but the arcade allow member to play what ever games; especially if it was a member who created the flash game.

Yes, also a fact. Doesn't matter how swavay you are when it comes to SEO if the domain name fits it will hit and miss, Marked.

They look pixelated (describes an image in which individual pixels are apparent to the naked eye) to me.

Is what I suggested.

Remember when suggesting names you should also take into account the length of your suggestion. It is bad practice to use long domain names.

Your sentence should be, "Hi boys, how's life in the dungeon?"

It is improper to use the word MORE before the word STRONGER because of how you used it; this also applies to the MORE before SUPERIOR. I suggest, "Don't forget who the stronger and superior one here is!" The second part makes no real sense either, but also feels like an incomplete sentence when reading it, plus it clashes with the first sentence. I would suggest, "Even with your combined strength, you two are far from being on the same level as me." So combined it reads, "Don't forget who the stronger and superior one here is! Even with your combined strength, you two are far from being on the same level as me." OR you could use, "Don't forget who the stronger and superior one here is! Even with your combined strength, you two are no match for me." EDIT: ALSO [quote name='bigace' timestamp='1289554498' post='50707'] Menu Screenshots [spoiler][/spoiler] [/quote] Did you leave that spoiler empty for a reason or forgot to add the image?

Actually this depends on the writer. Some keep notes or use note to create their stories/plots and some (like me) just create from my head and if need keep notes. Now as for developing an advertising campaign that in itself will be a challenge.

I hope so as well. In a few days I leave for a 6-7 month deployment which this will leave me with almost 2-4 hours a night to work on my works (novels, etc). One goal is to have the writing class up and running before the 27th, but only time will tell on this one. If I stick with my plan I could have at least 2 or 3 books completed (my kids series Shivered) or in the process of being published.

Why is the old guy so high?

I will not be doing any more spriting or graphic works for requests or myself. Any graphics located on this community or another and that do not have a character set for them I will finish, but this is at my own discretion and free time. This doesn't mean that I am leaving, it only means I need to priorities my goals and as of now getting my Writing career up and going is top on my list. All other project (related to gaming or game making) are low priority on my list. The good news out of this is soon the Writing Class I had going on here will be back up and running with full class assignments, projects, video lectures etc. Unlike other classes the Writing class portion of the class for submitting assignments, etc will be delivered off site (not directly on the writing class forum itself. In fact my overall goal is to use the Writing Class forum as a more of a information and announcement center, but more on this when the time comes. This also means I will ONLY be taking or participating in PROJECTS that need a writer (commercial, fan based, or free). I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to any one looking to my my stance images or waiting for my LOD project to officially start.

But why do you like is the true question? Is it because you simply know it and domain name change would in a small way hinder you ability to accurately find the site? If RMXPU is to be taken serious as a site for multi game making software the domain name and site name have to change. This is proven by doing a verity of searches for certain game making software and how RMXPU doesn't appear in the first 10 pages (if at all). This point can be further proven if you search on Google for Game Maker and try and locate Crankeye (rmrk.net). It also doesn't appear in Google's top 10 pages and one main reason behind this is their FORUMS URL is rmrk RM= RPG Maker. Plus it's not just the domain name that can be the issue, lets look at HBGames.org; their description on Google is: "The indie games development community. Incorporating the largest and most active English RPG Maker XP/VX boards. Learn how to make your own games with ease!" From this we learn that even though their domain name is not related to RMXP/VX their description and key words used was a poor choice on the webmaster as it limits their appearance in a search engine. In fact HBGames.org appears 3rd on Google search when searching for phrase rmxp. So the domain name is playing a huge part in the lack of new members to the site as it is the FIRST thing read by a search engine, plus the description used is not diverse enough to fully describe Marked's new plans. Plus lets look at the Creation Asylum when using the search phrase rmxp they do not appear in the first 10 pages (I stopped looking at this point). Their description on Google search is: "*REMINDER: A TOPIC NEED A GOAL AND A SUBJECT* If you want to discuss about something that isn't covered in any other section of Creation Asylum, well, ..." From this we can tell that it is pulling information from posts or news section from the forum as this is what we view first when going to creationasylum.net The basic point here is the domain name also PLAYS a large process in determining a sites status on a search engine. This is why when you create a website web developers and webmasters alike always to choose a domain name that is closely related to the topic of your site.

Which of the following most accurately describes the site? RPG Maker XP! How I came about this is simply not my opinion, but a fact being a web developer and webmaster. The domain name itself is RMXP Unlimited (RMXP = RPG Maker XP). In fact as some know regardless of my JOIN date I was here when this place was using a free hosting and at one time the domain name rmxpunlimited.com (before .net). Now yes RMXP Unlimited (herein referred to as RMXPU) has recently adopted RMVX (RPG Maker VX), but the domain name and the site name say RMXP which is a known reference to RPG Maker XP. Doing a simple Google search (using rmxp) you will find many links to things related to RMXP (RMXPU ranks number 2 using this search phrase in Google). Using RMVX RMXPU is ranked number 8 using the search phrase rmvx and it reads the link (www.rmxpunlimited.net/engines/rmvx); in fact RMVX is in bold in the link on the Google site. The description on Google when searching for RMXP Unlimited is, “A community for RPG Maker XP (RMXP)and RPG Maker VX (RMVX) and other engines such Action Game Maker (AGM) and Game Maker (GM).” Take note the first item list is RMXP which this in itself tells people that RMXPU deals mostly with RMXP and mostly with Enterbrain products. If one searches for RMVX Unlimited RMXPU is the first to appear even though the site doesn’t use the domain name. So from this again we can tell that the sites focus (regardless of description) is RMXP/VX. Doing a search for Game Maker RMXPU fails to show up in the first 13 pages (I stopped at 13). This little fact also tells people that RMXPU doesn’t have direct or indirect knowledge or use of the GM product. From all of these FACTS we can asses that RMXPU as of now doesn’t accurately describe the new stuff or planned ideas/concepts. How well does the domain name (rmxpunlimited.net) reflect the content of the site? Read section above labeled “Which of the following most accurately describes the site?” After reading you will see that it is a FACT that it doesn’t reflect the NEW content or ideas planned. Should the domain name be changed? Yes, read section above labeled, “Which of the following most accurately describes the site?” and “How well does the domain name (rmxpunlimited.net) reflect the content of the site?” After reading you will see that it is a FACT that it doesn’t reflect the NEW content or ideas planned. Sp regardless of [people voted if the domain name stays the same it could ultimately hurt any chance of RMXPU getting and keeping new members. The navigational system is easy to use (for example, quickly finding the link to the section of the site you want to visit) I sometimes forget where the FORUM navigation is for the download manager, gallery, etc. It seems to me to be almost hidden at the top if you’re not paying attention. The site loads quickly I will say, but at the same time the lack of IE compatibility is quite annoying even though I myself prefer to use FF. As a developer of websites it is poor practice to make a site function better in one browser then the 4 most used browsers. P.S. Sorry for the late reply been busy.

Alright so when I went home for leave I found an old story I had started writing when I was 13 years old. 'The Awful Pumpkin Patch' I thought of after reading some Goosebumps and Bone Chiller books (ages 7-12). After reading what I had written I decided that I should start my own kids series seeing as how it was a kids series that inspired me to become a writer. Of course I have not read a kids book in years (like 10 or more years). So I had to go to Barns and Nobles and find a series that best suited what I wanted to convey. So I picked up seven Goosebumps books and a few Bone Chillers as well as some series I had not heard before. So I eventually came up with a series name for the books, SHIVERED. I have began writing book 1 in the series as well as outlining books 2 and 3; these two are still rough ideas, but I can give you an idea about the first book. Shivered: The Curse of Cold Creek Forest (book 1) When Jessica and Terry move to a new town and start school at Endora JR High they soon find out they are in for a big surprise. Too bad they did not listen to the stories about the forest directly behind the school. Because now they are lost in a forest and the only thing they find is the cold truth that the stories about Cold Creek Forest are true. Shivered: Welcome to Nilbog (book 2) I don't have much information about this book (as stated above), but I do know that a family moves to a town called Nilbog which is full of Goblins (Nilbog spelled backwards is Goblin) who try and turn people into Goblins. Shivered: The Puppet Master When souls are trapped in puppets they seek escape by taking control of kids.

It's to long, by all standards web developers and web masters alike always suggest a small domain name as some people do not like typing long names. I say gdunlimited.com.
