The New Dark Sirrus

Posted by DSG on May 24, 2006, 4:05 p.m.

I thought of changing my name to Poisonheart Games. what do you think?? i mean i kinda have a reputation here and when i make newer, better games under that name ppl will probly say OH hes better than dark sirrus and my old games be rejected

p.s. I HATE HOW MANY BLOGS ARE POSTED A DAY!! my blog views (like, per blog) are GOING DOWN TO LIKE 4-6 COMMENTS EACH!! its annoying!! i say it automatically rejects a blog if its under 100 characters (numbers and digits, no spaces, enters, symbols included in count)

ALSO, i think the game thing SHOULD BE MORE STRICT… only accept the better games. there are games here that are just unenjoyabe. increasing standards will eliminate the problem of the short-lived fame of good and bad games alike.

INVASION 2 got a day. not many ppl check 64d everyday. every game deserves atleast 3days. thats how it used to be. it used 2 beevery week too. NOT TO MENTION hightening standards will increase the goodness of the site and add alittle more… prestige

I don't think they should leave things up for 3 days, rather, the number of featured games should be larger. Say, 6-10 for Games, WIP, and Examples. That way, examples wouldn't encroach on games, WIP's would nudge out completed work, etc, etc.

Oh yeah, I also think it's better to keep your name. I would feel silly with a name like FredFredrickson Games. You're a person, not a company. [:P]

But as Melee said, if that's what you wanna do, then do it.

Keep the name.

I agree with the stricter games rules. I always thought someone should make a game maker site and only except the truely good games. This place is to lacks. It would be easier for the mods too if the rules were stricter. Then they spend less time playing.

How about not putting examples on the homepage? That would alow games to last longer.

Hmm… I agree with the example thing. I can talk with Canadonian, and if he approves a vote for accepting higher quality stuff only, I can hold a vote about it in a blog I'll be making soon.

Hmmm not sure i agree woth you there. I think games and examples are equally important, anyway lots of people put alot of effort into their examples and wouldnt appreciate being bumped off the list because a new 'noob' game was released.

Gee what resolution moniters are you using? im using a 800x600 lappy (*crappy*) at the moment and firefox has trouble fitting 4 images on the page. This would also greatly contribute to the sites bandwidth usuage, 24 imgs at least 4kb each = approx 100kb each time you visit the homepage.

100 kb isn't too much - GMC has that huge banner - ever try to load it on the web browser on a psp?

Yay for 1280*1024 res. Anything lower plain annoys me. XD
