The GMC ignores me...

Posted by RetroVortex on Dec. 19, 2006, 12:36 a.m.

quite literally it does!

About a day ago, I release my demo of pilot there, and immediately it sunk down to the second page: WITH NO REPLIES!!

Thats so sucky!

Then I 'bump' my topic with an update, but today, I still find that no-one has replied, and its back on the second page!

In fact, hardly anyone replies to my topics there, it sucks.

Here is my track record of replies for all my topics:

1,17,15,0,0,0,9,1,3,11,2,2,5,1,2,0,1,16,15,17,93,21,1

At the end it's large, but those topics were mostly topics in the graphics forum, in the topic that has had the largest amount of replies on the GMC has only been 15,

kinda pathetic in comparison with the pokemon engine with 179 replies, and that has only just now slipped onto the second page

This is why I don't bother sharing my games with their community..

Same goes with gaming world. There they won't even touch my game if its not an RPG. Whats the point of having a GM topic, in a community where a non-rpg is like a plague..

Not saying the Gaming World forum is bad, because its not..

The RPG games there could teach us a thing or two about most GM users fatal flaws:

- Graphics

- Story

Probably the best forum out there is the game maker games forum, because you actually get replies, and helpful ones.

They actually tell you what needs improving rather than in the GMC where you would get something like: 'OMG this game iz so Crap! 2/10''

But even then I've only had 5 relpies there..

I think it must be in the title,,, I can't think of very good titles..

Maybe if I put a few //// in it might stand out.

Could also be the genre, people seem to be into RTS and RPGs lately, and don't seem to care about Space Shooters, even if it was decent…

Well atleast I can rely on this community, 64digits.

The feedback is very good. And you give ideas as well, which helps me…

Sorry to rant so much about forums, (GMC in particular), but they just annoy me…

EDIT: oh guess what topics just boosted itself up to the top again..

I'll give you a clue: it involves pokemon and it now has 180 replies…

64Digits isn't a forum..

Its a community website…

But it has a forum in it, (although in my oopinion it doesn't really need one)

What I've decided to do is play most of the games with hardly any replies, and maybe make a topic about them here..

comparing them to popular topics and seeing which is better…

Already played a nice demo of Kid Niki Gm. It was a good game, but like mine, no replies…

That pokemon thing is too popular considering how little it actually has, people just reply cause they want the complete engines gm6.

From what I see… clones get way more attention than original idea's.

And from my research… it also seems to depend on whether RhysAndrew's posts in it…………..
