Arkbennett 16 Report post Posted February 23, 2008 When I think about it, I hate the gallery. Just the way it is, it reminds me of PhanXgames or Charamaker. When you get a sheep load of resources, we're gonna have like, 50 pages for our users to go to, and that's kind of lame, can we split these categories into sub-categories? I mean, have them split like: Male, Female, Monsters, Other For charactersets Or for icons: Weapons, Armors, Shields, Accessories etc. Just a suggestion however.

Marked 197 Report post Posted February 24, 2008 You're right. Icons will become a real pain when many of them are added. Charactersets too. I'm actually planning a complete do over of the forums and components. RGSS scripts will be organized into: * Custom Menu Systems * Custom Battle Systems * Movement Systems * Custom Message Systems * Stores, Inns, Etc. * Mini Games * System Enhances * Player/Party Systems * Database Related * Misc. Systems And this will also transfer to the Downloads Manager, which structure will change to(I'm just typing this now, it may be different): RPG Maker XP -RGSS Scripts * Custom Menu Systems * Custom Battle Systems * Movement Systems * Custom Message Systems * Stores, Inns, Etc. * Mini Games * System Enhances * Player/Party Systems * Database Related * Misc. Systems -Projects * Completed Games * Demo Games * Games in Development RPG Maker VX -RGSS2 Scripts * Custom Menu Systems * Custom Battle Systems * Movement Systems * Custom Message Systems * Stores, Inns, Etc. * Mini Games * System Enhances * Player/Party Systems * Database Related * Misc. Systems -Projects * Completed Games * Demo Games * Games in Development And all the other Categories will remain the same The Tutorials section will be changed into: * General RMXP Tutorials * RGSS Scripting Tutorials * Eventing Systems/Tutorials * Mapping Tutorials As for the Gallery, I will add sub-categories. I have actually done this before, where I had for Battlers: Male, Female, Monsters. And Charactersets: Objects, Male, Female, Monsters, Animals, etc. It will be some time to I get around to these changes though, and I will make an announcement in the Staff forum before I do.

Arkbennett 16 Report post Posted February 24, 2008 Damn Marked, that sounds pretty awesome. Your living up and beyond your expectations as an admin, good job! =) However, I noticed in the projects you said, "Game in development" and "game demos" won't those be the same games? Maybe you should change on of those to "cancelled games" you know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted February 24, 2008 Thanks. These updates are due to another part of the site I will be introducing. Demo Games: Demo Games are those which have a Demo available for Download. Projects here must have Game play of 30 minutes + to be in this section. Anything under that amount of time, the project should be in the Projects in Development section. Games in Development: This section is for relatively new projects. All projects are at this stage at some point, some not going any further. Projects which are not far enough in production to have a demo, or 30 minutes + of Game Play should be in this section I'm working on the descriptions... :huh: My idea behind the Games in Development section is that there are a ton of new users who come up with their storylines and things first up. A lot of the projects don't make far enough in production to come up with a good demo. A demo with 30+ minutes of gameplay will be fairly developed, and have a more concrete storyline. If anything this is separating the standard of projects. In both sections their may be demos, but there will be far better developed demos in the Demo Games section.

Arkbennett 16 Report post Posted February 24, 2008 Oh, I see. So it's just a forum announcing that they have an idea in the works, and it just gives standard character information. But doesn't really give much else, like screenshots and stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But doesn't really give much else, like screenshots and stuff. Umm not exactly. A project in the "Games in Development section" can have a full storyline, screenshots, and game play. Once the project has developed far enough for 30+ minutes gameplay, it belongs in the Demo Games section. Perhaps the title is a bit misleading. After a Demo has reached 30+ minutes of game play, it is likely to be continued, and become a large project. Do you understand? The Games in Development section is not just for a couple of paragraphs of 5 minute writing. There is a standard all project topics must reach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
