Thanks Saint_Proverbius for the warm welcome. btw, rpg-dev is not mine. I'm merely the mod. Fling-Master is the administrator. but thanks anways. He's also the one who showed us at rpg-dev this site and this thread about our contest (we're also soon making a rpg magazine. If anyone wants to make articles for it, feel free.)
sorry to say, some of our members didn't think too highly of the rpg codex's members reactions to the contest (no insults, not really. not unless your members highly object to being called noob :wink: )
is this your site? it's quite nice itself. (wait, just found out your part of the editorial staff... 8) ) is it all articles, previews, interviews, reviews, editorials and news? i was looking around for some rpg's, and although i could find much of the former, i could find none of the latter.
As i was looking through the reviews, i was very impressed with the screenshots of the games. Although i could not find much, what little i could find was a nice change from the tile engines i always see on rpg-dev. no wonder the people here thought a week was outrageous: we expect tile based games dragon warrior or final fantasy style. The rpg's i see here run on much more advanced engines than that and obviously need much more work. (just did some looking around. i never noticed all the games are not freeware!
that explains it)
anyways, just originally came here to finish off the little misconception about our mini-rpg contest, but ended blabbing on about this site itself... anyways, just telling you guys that we ARE expecting something along the line of ff1-ff3, dragon warrior1-2. and btw, fling-master made a mistake when he made up the rules. though the rules make it seem like as if you are not allowed to use editors due to rule one, you are allowed to use them. (a member brought this up. fling-master admitted that he made a mistake and said he would allow sprite and map editors)
