imo its not a great idea for a site that is clearly lacking in members and traffic to start being selective about what games are put on the site. Not that I really give a crap about rpg maker, but surely it makes more sense to try and bring in as much members as possible and show that GW is a great place to showcase your game and have it reviewed fairly. I don't think GW really has the stature to be so conservative at the moment

I'm a big fan of how you guys fight for an rm2k database yet ignore the rpg maker games on this forum. All a database will do is make it even harder for a vast majority of games to receive feedback

Considering GW isn't TRYING to be an rpgmaker site, I don't see how being selective about the games is a problem. GW is trying to be a place (as far as I can tell) about quality indie games, and that's what it's doing. When you're shooting for quality, you have to be selective.

If it's trying to be about quality indie games and not about quality indie minus rm2k/3 then why are you so determined to keep them out? That's the question.

I haven't heard one person say GW should be only about rm2k/3 but I've heard a bunch of people say rm2k/3 shouldn't exist on here at all. Why? If you want indie games then include all of the good ones no matter what maker they come from.

I don't understand this bigotry.

Peace and Love

jesus christ read the fifty thousand posts i JUST made where i said IF YOU HAVE A GOOD RM2k GAME SUBMIT IT TO THE SITE THEY WILL ACCEPT IT

nobody is trying to keep rm out this is something you just made up just now, everyone said that GW shouldn't be about rm, not that GW shouldn't have any, stop being so dumb and maybe read a little, GW DOES accept all the good games no matter where they came from but nobody's put forward any rm2k games to the site yet, why are you doing this

stop talking out of your ass dude

looks like Rone Rivendale has yet to learn to READ before opening his mouth. btw, just out of curiosity, who exactly does the reviewing anyway? Drule? I remember there being "staffers" but i think i'm going way back on that.

Yeah, I'm not even an official staff member and I I'm trying to get things done. GW won't be going nowhere if the only people posting stuff are Drule, ASE, adeline (or whatever is his nick now) and me.

Can we just kill this topic now, its becoming nothing but name calling and insults (from what I'm reading).
Gamingw will not be getting a RPG maker specific database from what we can tell (more then likely not)
Besides, its not like we can't screen a game before it comes out now (I mean, we do have a demo and finished games topic, that should be good enough for the RPGM fans until more good games show up, right?)

And Skelly, can you calm down a bit, I mean, you're throwing out the most insults outta all the people here. I can understand honesty, (I mean, seriously, some people do need to be smacked upside the head and called an idiot) but what you're doing right now is just insulting for the sake of insulting, just answer a question and move on, don't throw in a "How can you be this stupid" or "L2R noob". Not all people pick up the same thing from reading over post as you do. (Also, how am I supposed to know a page ago that we weren't getting a database, we were discussing it.)

Edit: You know what, nevermind... I'm just gonna crawl into a hole and continue my C programming...

Okie, then tell me I made up all the quotes I just took from this very thread.

Quote

You see, that's just the thing. All RPG Maker games are inherently terrible.

Quote

Sure, bring a RM game that is worth something and I'll review it like I'd review any other games. Till then, I'll review games made with actual programming.

Quote

Rpgmaker is dead and you should stop playing with the corpse so we can bury it. Once it's done, we can get on with serious indie game making business. Trying to break barriers, trying to say something meaningful and not just tell the tale of some hero through CBS, CMS and awkward "cutscenes", but though meaningful gameplay and design.

Quote

rpg maker is just getting more and more out of date, if you want to tell a story, write a book. different engines (like game maker and MMF) are the main choices for creating games nowadays

Quote

RPG Maker is dead. Move on. Sorry, but I understand the pain.

YOU read the thread before telling me I don't know what I am talking about. K thx bye.

Peace and Love

they just said rpgmaker games usually suck, none of those said rpgmaker games wouldn't be accepted on the mainsite (you even quoted one yourself that said YES WE WILL PUT RPGMAKER GAMES ON THE SITE). you said that people were "so determined to keep them out". they're not being kept out, what you quoted were just opinions over whether or not rpgmaker games were any good. i DID read the thread, if you did then you apparently read it all wrong or don't realize that you said something completely different than you're trying to argue against now.

you're making up that there's some evil gw agenda against letting rm games be featured, there's not.

edit: yeah this summed up your faulty logic pretty well

You didn't quote me aswell Ronne Rivendale? That genuinely hurts my ego because if you look I think what I had to say about RPGMaker is one of the offhand remarks in this topic that was most condescending to the medium:

Quote from: ME on November 03, 2009, 04:11:36 pm

we had to ditch RPGMaker because GamingW only promotes good game design now. You can't possibly promote good game design when you already promoting something like RPGMaker. The two terms are mutually exclusive in that respect.

It would have done well to help prove your point, but you callously cast it aside because the particular post this wonderful anecdote was in wasn't entirely focused on the type of RPGMaker bashing you prefer to put in quotations. Aren't you being a little hypocritical given that your entire argument is based on accepting any sort of method/medium for game development in GamingW? It's just that with an attitude like yours, I would think you'd be more tolerant of alternative posts that just so happen to bash games made in RPGMaker.
