The Crowdsourced Game

[Vincent]

Hehe!  Works perfectly now!

Now, to submit a code review.

[Vincent]

Done!  You can see my review request in SourceForge.  Awaiting comments.

I posted a comment on your review page. Are you subscribed to it? Did it notify you? If not, do you see how to subscribe?

I see a label on the Reviews page: "review request for new player controls and slippery tiles (1)". I'm not familiar with this feature. Did you do something to apply that label? Any idea what it accomplishes?

[Vincent]

Hey bluemonkmn!

Hum, no I didn't see there was a way to subscribe to the review page.  It wasn't obvious.   Well, now I subscribed to it, I guess I should receive notifications. 

Oh yeah, the label.  I didn't think it would be displayed in the page directly. I thought it was just a way to describe the change in the history of the page.  But it seems it's a tool for searching.  I'll remove it since it's not useful.

[Vincent]

Oh by the way, I answered your comment on sourceforge.  Did you get a notification?

[bluemonkmn]

Yep

In order to get more hype, maybe advertise this on TIGSource? It's a great way to get a large amount of people.

[bluemonkmn]

I hadn't heard of TIGSource before, but it sounds/looks like a good idea. Since this is a collaborative project, is that something you have the ability to do? Go for it if you're up for it.

[v6v]

I would, but I'm not sure if there was extra information I had to add that you may have wanted to add.
I also didn't want to be credited for this, even if I post that it was yours, the topic started by me would mean all IotaBuildit questions would be directed to me.

TIGSource is The Indie Gamer Source. A large amount of indie game developers have conversations there and present their own work.

More specifically:
http://forums.tigsource.com/

I'm figuring that you could answer the bulk of the questions, as well as taking credit for it.

I will have to spend some time coming up with a good post. Rather than rush it, remind me later if I forget to announce it there later .

Done.

I posted on TIGSource, but not no buzz yet. Think the post is descriptive enough?

If the game doesn't get buzz you should try it in the Feedback area. A great deal of developers had initially posted there in order to get people hyped up (Seeing has how most people are critics who want to watch a YouTube video only and THEN give their two cents)

A good strategy is to post a YouTube video in feedback and ask what others believe of the game.

After getting people riled up there, the announcement topic might be bumped back a page or two. I'll post supportive comments to bump it back up to top priority.

[bluemonkmn]

Thanks for yet another suggestion. I have posted in the feedback area.
