Where can I talk about my projects .


Recommended Posts

Well I'm not an administrator, but I've got enough sense to tell you why you and your many projects aren't doing so well.

First off, you only pitched an idea. You have no proof to back up your claims of these projects. We need SOMETHING of substantial evidence, screenshots, video, playable engine test, whatever you've got that can PROVE to us that you are working on it. Otherwise, you're just throwing around claims. In fact, the rules even state it, as I'll quote here:

When you make a thread here, you CANNOT just post a lot of information on the game. Anyone can come in and say they're making a game with 12 characters, 40 levels, and Super/Hyper characters in every level, but until you show us something, we have nothing to talk about. You have to give us at least some kind of proof that this game exists, whether it's artwork, music, screenshots/mock-ups*, videos, or anything. Logos do not count. You can show off whatever you like, as long as it's not only text. Also, engine tests have to be something more than a couple seconds or simply posting one from the site with minor changes.

Threads that don't show anything even remotely substantial are subject to being locked.

* [2/13/09 edit] If all you're ONLY showing mock-ups in your thread, it is only permitted if they contain some of your ORIGINAL artwork in them. Anyone can take graphics and sprites other people made off MFZ and slap them together in mspaint and call it a mock-up, but that doesn't count because it's not your work. If you want to show off mock-ups that don't have any of your original work, you'll have to also show some other evidence of your game (engine tests, videos, other in-game screenshots) in your thread as well.

That can be found in the "Some General Rules" thread that's stickied up on the General Fangame discussion forum, which can be found here:

Here are your threads found in the forum:

http://www.sonicfangameshq.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7884

This is asking for help on a mod towards Sonic Generations, no proof that you're working on it.

http://www.sonicfangameshq.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7885

This is asking if a remake of Sonic X-treme is still in development, which from what I know as of now, there are no remakes in development at this time.

This was posted in the general discussion forum. Ila linked you to the rule I quoted above.

You also posted this in the general discussion forum, which is the incorrect forum to put stuff like that in. Once again, no proof.

This was posted in the art forum, where it does not belong. You linked to a forum that contained no proof, and I must ask you where you got Winterhell's engine from. As far as I remember, he's kept his engine's closed source.

This was ALSO posted in the art forum, and is much of the same from the one above. You attempted to recruit people for a project that hadn't even started yet.

It's at this time I'm going to list why you aren't receiving the warmest welcome and how you can fix that.

First, you announce projects that hold no real weight. It's just a bunch of text that has no meaning. If you want to show off something, and I mean SOMETHING as in something other than text, you can post some screenshots and mock-ups in the Screenshots thread. You might want to do that before you go making a thread.

Second, you post your topics in the wrong forums. Fan-game pitches belong in the "General Fan-Game Discussion" forum, art belongs in the "Art Forum", and general topics belong in the "General Discussion" forum.

Third, you aren't going to really get many people to join an HD project. You're going to be better off in the long run if you think of an original idea for a fan-game. An HD project is a cease & desist order waiting to happen.

Thank you Betaman. I'd like to have posted what he did but it's Christmas so I want the day off.

Also to answer your question: talk about your projects on your own little forum. Or try another forum that is more open to just shooting the shit around projects that will never happen. Honestly I'd normally point you in the direction of one of a bigger Sonic message board, but I don't want to put them through dealing with you as well. Just type "Sonic the hedgehog message board" into Google and pick something from there.
