We should make another community game.
Did we finish the last one? iirc they're still working on it, but I haven't checked in as late.
I couldn't have made a game in less than a month entirely on my own, otherwise I would've entered. Maybe others felt the same? One topic in one forum doesn't mean nobody cares about any of the other forums except General. Of course General is going to get more hits/topics because it is--surprisingly--non-specific, but other people are posting in other forums.
You present a good idea with the month-timeline. You know, we can do what nanowrimo does and have a nagamamo (national game making month) deal, where you if you finish you get a big clap on the back, but if your game is any good you can win some prizes, etc. If we can host something like this and make it as extensive as nanowrimo is, I think we can get *loads* of people developing for the community over time. Best part is that most people will want to participate just to finish a project and get street cred.
since we've always been competing with other forums for our demographic, this will give us lots of exposure and entice people to join.
