Projects to Watch [UPDATED]

Projects To Watch

How It Works.
          This thread is simply a replacement for regrettably biased PotM (Project of the month) thread. No offense intended to previous winners, you were all obviously worthy projects. We now just want to make sure that from now on everything is fair. Projects that get onto this thread are guaranteed at least a 4 week stay. Everyone can be involved, members are all welcome to make suggestions on what projects should be added to this thread. Also suggestions on what projects should not continue on this thread will be accepted also. If you see your project up here but don't want it up here please PM me or leave a comment and you will be removed as soon as possible. This thread will be updated at least once a month (first Sunday of a month is most likely).

Criteria.
          These Criteria are not set in stone. If I a project that
          shows promise without meeting all the criteria then it
          may still be added. Also, meeting these criteria does
          not guarantee a place in this thread. Anyhow, here are the criteria.

• Showed updates in the last 4 weeks.
• Contain at least 2 Screenshots.
• The project founder must be a active member of this site.
• Projects must be built on a LEAGAL version of RMXP.
• Thread must be well laid out in general.

The Projects

Sandfall

Spoiler: Sandfall

GFX
Sandfall has a great style, The sprites in my opinion
are some of the best I have seen on ANY RMXP project.
Their slightly faded colors only add to the atmosphere.
This is likely to become one of the best looking projects
by the time of its release.

Story
Very original, and very creative and what I must say,
something that looks like a promising change from "MOST"
RMXP games. Also with the addition of other side stories
by other respected members of the community only time
will tell how great this story will truly be.

GFX
Better then most RMXP games. The Maps are well
made and seem to just work.

Audio
Simple.
One of the best to ANY RMXP game.

please bare with me while i update this thread over the next 36 hours.
Also to mods that are not aware I have passed this with a few people
(despain and someone else) so please dont lock this unless they do.

This has my vote for a sticky!

Together with the project of the month this would be a good way for good projects to be easier to find.

 

[BunnyKinx]

WOOT. MY FIRST STICKY :D

thanks alot to whom ever did this.

 

[Skyla Doragono]

I originally locked it, because I didn't know Des signed off on this.  -_-;  Next time you do something like this, contact me or the other mods of this section, 'cause Des has an annoying habit of forgetting about us.

Sandfall is definitely a project worth watching and the idea behind this thread is sound. I just find it funny that you highlight the project of one of the persons who passed this thread idea in the first place right after calling PotM bias (with no defense of that claim I might add).

 

[BunnyKinx]

I think im right in saying. looking around the project threads at the moment Sandfall is one of the most watched. but im not going to lie. maybe if despain was not the person i was talking to then maybe Sandfall would not be the first project that would be stuck up here.

BUT! i do think you have to admit. Sandfall is one of the most original sounding projects around here for some time. as well as being one of the only good ones with any chance of being finished.

one last thing. Despain did recommend a few games that will be going up here. I have not really kept up to date with these projects, so it could take a few weeks before things fall into place. but please do bear with me in the mean time.

 

[Reives]

He said nothing about Sandfall not being worthy; in fact he stated just the opposite at the start of the post (and I agree) - so no need to get defensive on that specific part.

 

[Xephyr]

I nominate Quintessence.  Just sayin.


Anyway, this is a good idea.  Hopefully this thread expands =)

 

[BunnyKinx]

ok Quintessence added (I had my eye on this one also.) If someone feels like doing a simple review that would be great. but if not thats fine. I will just work one out when i have time.

 

[Volrath]

Biased? Give me an effing break. People picked projects they liked. How is that biased exactly?

Whatever. If you think you can maintain this, knock yourself out. Just don't expect any help from me.

Most months I would agree with you Volrath, Although I created this thread I was not the only member around here looking for a thread  like this. Im sorry If anything I have said bothers you, I also remember seeing your project "MotW" up there at least once. Im more then willing to accept you deserved that place 101%.

 

[Volrath]

That is false. Master of the Wind was never PotM.

When I first laid out the rules, I made it very clear that projects which had already received a lot of attention, such as MotW, Nadir's Canon, etc, were not good candidates for this. They didn't need the extra exposure, so making them PotM would have been redundant and distasteful. Did you ever actually read the rules before deciding it was biased? Of course not, that would be making an informed judgment. Your credibility is now on the level of your average Fox News broadcast. Excuse me while I take some aspirin.

 

[Reives]

(^Hahah. :p )

The problematic flare of this stems from the accusation of the PotM thread being biased - which was what everyone was talking about, not the actual idea behind the thread itself. It'd be wise for you to delete that line from the first post.

 

[Skyla Doragono]

Okay, okay, to prevent any more of this, I'm locking this until Des gets back, because it's clear he didn't talk to any of us about this being implemented.

 

[Despain]

lol drama~~

mods check my reply in the staff forum and then clean up this mess (ie delete all the4se dramaposts when the shit is understood by people).

basically this wasn't supposed to be a replacement for project of the month, I think bunnykinx just thought that because the potm topics have recently been unstickied while we are reworking the project forums. i wasn't planning on dropping potm at all so.

take sandfall off or move it lower in the list if people are going to bitch. i never suggested my project for this topic and bunnykinx wanted to make this topic long before i posted sandfall here
