Project of the Month

New Project of the Month, selected ahead of schedule and commented upon by Alexia. Others could learn a lesson from that. Anyhow, play that shizzle.

Maybe someday I'll make a project good enough to make it as "project of the month." x.x;

Too bad that probably won't happen with my game. xD
Oh well, I have many future projects in my mind, I hope they will be better.
 
I wish my project would be PotM too. I do try my very best... Maybe if I can just update my demo, with a different tileset, my chances would be better...
 
Maybe I'm just blind and I'm not seeing it for some reason, but there should really be some sort of link to the PotM's sticky thread in the corresponding forum section of the current PotM. So for example Cell Chamber is the current PotM, but I don't see it anywhere in the Completed Projects and Demos section, I just see it sticked here. If you're like me, you just click one of the sublinks on the main forums page, so I don't even get to the page that has the PotM sticked, so I often forget about it. So, I think PotMs should be seen in their corresponding forums somewhere as well as here.
 
I can put a link to the Cell Chamber thread in the main post, but I don't really think putting the project in the main area makes it hard to find. If you're taking the time to read this, I don't see how you can miss the PotM itself.
 
I have to agree with him Volrath. Normaly I just click the link that takes me straight to all the projects. Sometimes the section for the POTM can be passed easily without anyone thinking about it. You should at least have a link in the corresponding forum. :-/
 
The link to the project is still in the forum it was in before. (Or am I blind) But the project wasn't in 'Completed Projects and Demos' it was still in 'Projects in Development' because it's demo had only come out shortly before being picked for PotM. If you go to Projects in Development, you'll see the shadow of the old thread, with the 'Moved:' thing before it still there. Am I wrong? Or does not everyone see the 'Moved:' shadow thread thing?
 
I moved it to the Completed Projects/Demos section after he had announced his demo was out. However, only a day or so later, it got picked as PotM and was moved again to the main area. I realized that when moving it the first time, I had left a redirect...and the second time, I did not.

I'm a little baffled at all the confusion. This never came up while Quintessence was PotM, and now all of a sudden it's hard to find? I've added a link to the project in the first page of this thread, which I'll continue to do, but I'm afraid I can't be asked to compensate for everyone's unqiue forum-reading style.
 
I understand what you're saying, and I know it seems a little silly, but all I am saying is that it just seems somewhat counterproductive. The point of this is so that the project will actually get more attention, however I really think that a lot of people don't even notice the sticky on "Project Discussion" page which links to the PotM, because most people just simply look at the subforums right away; there's really no point to look at the main Project Discussion page unless you are purposely trying to get the link to the PotM. However, I could simply just be wrong.

I just wanted to shed light on this, that's all.
