Next Year On .Org

Phew, what a crazy year it's been - seeing us regain our permier spot and launching the site rather glass-half-full into 2011 and a brand new year of game making.

2010 saw us nearly triple our activity from the start of the year bringing us back to our old levels and now seeing us as "the largest English RPG Maker site" (though we offer much more).

Ok I can't handle all this gleeful salesperson talk much longer, so I'll end with this graph:

Last Year

2010 saw the introduction of a resource manager created in house from scratch. It saw the launch of HBChan, which has become IMGBOARD (and passed 5000 posts by the way); our own private Pastebin intergated with the forum posting page and turned into a highly functional scripts manager, an RPG Maker community search engine, and more utilities.

The huge boost in activity impacted all areas of the site, both off topic community areas and the game making spots.

[TROLL!] the trading card game was started, a pokemon fad spread across the forums, and Wyatt discovered true love*

We welcomed Moe to the moderating team and the ORGy awards were highly successful. Congratulations to all the winners: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=71114

The eZine was relaunched although everyone but Wyatt lost interest in it. Shame. Still, four new issues were released at the start of the year.

RPG Maker XP 1.04 was released but we saw past Enterbrain's efforts. Sadly RM is dying in every community. We are now the top site once more, and will continue to serve RPG Maker users, but we now also accommodate other game creation tools.




NEXT YEAR


What is 2011 going to bring?


[TROLL!]

I hope to finish TROLL! some time this year, either during the Easter or Summer holidays or some other time when I am not busy with Uni work and exams. It could be good!


ORGy Awards

The ORGy awards will return at their usual time (around July) and there are some great games around at the moment so it will be tough! Who will win the prestigious Game of the Year award?


bORGies

Planned for last year but never done, the bORGies are a seperate awards ceremony for the best awards in the world: Moustache of the Century, Wyatt of the Decade, Atilla of the Hun; you'd be mad not to take part.


CREATE! (the contest)

CREATE! continues into 2011. If you haven't already entered there's still time!

Please see here for more information: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=73195


And More...

We might have some surprises planned. But then we might not. I dunno. o_O O_o oh god oh god oh

[Sgt. Cookie]

So your still doing [TROLL!] eh? Excellent. To the card suggestion thread I go.

 

[Ellie]

Yeah, I just tend to work on it in huge chunks at a time and haven't had such inspiration yet :*

It will be out next year though without fail.

 

[Nachos]

this was a good year.

cheers

 

[Ellie]

I was hoping by the time troll is finished the publisher will have better options such as boxes and booster packs.

 

[mawk]

good to see my company shares are worth something again!

[Juan J. Sánchez]

I can't wait for the new ORGies.

 

[Nachos]

I was hoping by the time troll is finished the publisher will have better options such as boxes and booster packs.

and there still isnt a nachos card, right?

 

[Ellie]

I dunno if we have any slots left; if you posted you've got a card in line.

 

[Nachos]

i believe i posted the day the first TROLL! thread was created, but meh
anyway

 

[action]

I swear if I dont get the most improved member, a server is going to die

on a lighter note, great year. I'm surprised we improved so much in posting
(we should probably put those stats next to the posts in the rec room and see just how active we are though :\ )

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

I tend to believe most of our posts go into the rec room.

I wanna be most improved member too! >.<

But I don't win awards, so it's all good. ^_^

 

[Juan J. Sánchez]

If Action Man gets the Most Improved Member award, I definitely want the Best Newcomer award, or whatever it is called. I'm currently at 2.32 posts per day, I've submitted two cool scripts, I have a game project, and I try helping other members of the community. Just today I answered some bogus script request.

But as Strawberry Flower already stated, it's okay if I don't win. ^_^

 

[mawk]

but who wins the mawk award??????

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

Star and I should win couple of the year award.

Not really, but that would be strange. O_oa

 

[Pokémaniac]

No, bacon and devvy would win I'm afraid

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

That's a good choice, too! *nods*

 

[Juan J. Sánchez]
