I know some of you do.
And I know that it was a pretty rad little feature to have on this here place of things that we call Charas.
Thing is, at times it was hard to find a project that met the requirements every month. However, its been just over a year now, since we last had a feature project.
We can rebuild it. Better...faster...stronger.
I think we could broaden the scope of this a bit too...to make it even more kickass. RM projects are all good...but so are all things creative.
If you have any nominations for things that should/could be featured here on the main page to show the world that we do in fact, on occasion, do stuff around here, then send em on down. Feel free to drop some suggestions to help make this monthly feature even better.
In the mean time why not check out the sprite off

charas is lazy.
I dont think we could do it.
-
No...
Its pretty doable.
Lets try and keep this thread for actual constructive ideas.
-
Hm...well I havent really seen any.
Have you?
-
Let's see...the community game, kyoob, the .hack game Fortet is doing, your's, The Adventure, and I'm pretty sure there's a couple more.
So that makes...5 at this precise moment?
-
*glares*
Anyways;
Charas isnt known for finishing game gemini, if we had more finished projects I wouldn't doubt this so much.

THe last game of the month was featured in June of 08
Also, by expanding it to Creative things in general, everybody with a gallery ( http://www.charas-project.net/forum/index.php?board=6.0 ) could potentially be featured as well.
The Game of the month fizzled out last year on account of my own inability to keep the feature running...it wasnt a result of lack of material.
Not to mention, it was never restricted to RM2k3 in the first place.
Like I said, lets keep this thread for discussing valid ideas and suggestions here. If you want to start a thread about being Embittered toward the community for your own personal resons, feel free.
I have no intrest in debating the validity of keeping the mainpage up do date.
EDIT:
Just so its clear, nominated projects dont need to be a complete Game.
If it IS a game youre submitting, try and make sure it has a project thread and an actual working demo.
-
Plus I am actually working on something, and I hope to have a demo in a few days. I just need two things from two different people to have a complete demo.
Fish also has a little thing he is working on, on the side. I know he has the majority of the plot thought up, the main characters, systems, and various other things done.

I'm embittered?
You gave me quite a laugh there, but whatever. I'll just stick to the shadows.

And then this

must have led me to draw a false conclusion. My apologies. You obviously are not embittered.
I by no means request you to stay in the shadows. You are a valued member of the community.
Im asking you to suggest things from around the way that you think deserve to be featured on the main page.

That's drawing a conclusion from two posts, I have like 900 posts.
Anyways, lets put this SQUARE-HEADED BOLT OR ARROW ESPECIALLY FOR A CROSSBOW behind us and do as you say.
I belive the community project should be on the main page.
-
Quarrel?
lol. Ok.
I can safely say when the community project is all wrapped up it will have a solid spot on the main page
-
We should at least have a spot on the news for it, seeing as it's been a pretty big deal so far.
-
i concurr
-
i concurr
lol.
-
ummm... happy that my agreement is lol-worthy I guess. ANYHOW
When is the community project done enough for demo intents? Im out of the loop on it.
Anyone have a link or something they can PM a guy?
-
There was an abs test thingy, but you can't really call it a demo.
so, nope no demo.
-
I think it's a good idea as long as people won't make those long games. Y 'know trying to get a 6h game done in a month.
-
lol.
I like the Project of the month idea.
-
Oh and Gem, you could feature a comic. Like, Unfunny comics. Awesome, pretty famous comics, that started on charas.
Or not. x)
Hm... When the sprite off is done, someone could make a news post about who is the winner or something.
I am out of ideas.
-
whatever happened to unfunny comics?
they were lulzy...
-
And they still update five times a week.
-
seriously?
* I just read it. It's gotten a bit better.
-
DAMN RIGHT YOU GUYS KEEP THROWING THOSE SEXY IDEAS ALL OVER THIS THREAD
-
We could post about how awesome I am.
Or not...
I nominate Kyoob. It's fun :)
Side note - when did you become active again, Gem?
-
I nominate Kyoob. It's fun :)
Why thank you.
On the "how awesome you are" note, we could do a gallery/overall-work person of the month type award.
I think that'd be pretty neat.
-
I was asked if i wanted to help mod the news board. So i guess now Im active again....and have to refrain from being a flagrant ***hole. Such is life though. Im happy to help out a bit when i can.
-
to make it even more kickass
This on the front page might be a bit too pushing it.
-
...and have to refrain from being a flagrant ***hole....
Aww... But you're fun when you're flagrantly being an anal orifice :(
-
If kickass is too much
then i should probably forget about posting there (on the mainpage that is)
-
****. I gotta get that Beta out.

haha

You do ed, you do.

Idea (since this topic is lacking them):
we bring back the game of the month but we have them be short, possibly no hacking it or scripting, keep it simple. These will be short mostly so people continue to make them, if it is too long people may become bored or fustrated making it.
we could also (along with the game of the month) have a game of the sseason or game of the year, which would be alot longer and could include hacks, scripting and can be as long as t takes them.
this way we get long and short games, are able to look at them all, and keep people active more.
-
I think a project of the month doesn't have to be compete, just a game in progress that deserves front page attention.
That's how I found Alpha Force
-
*Newspost kick*
Depending on whether Drak continues his crappy game contest, you could have the crappy game of the month in the post too. It's a pity we didn't do that earlier, actually, considering how funny the videos have been in the past... We'd have to put an explicit language warning on there though.
-
That's a great idea. I support this! Drak deserves something for all the **** he's put up with, and it really is entertaining as hell to watch those videos.
