Let's get started! Can you send two reviews, to fill this week quota? :)

It'd be great if someone could volunteer to create the SMF2 Theme.

Ouch! This week's a bit cramped; you shouldn't take things so literally ;) I'll see if I can't come up with something, though.

As always,

I think Design & Programming could have been in the same category, they'll probably mix up anyways.

The rationale behind that is that there's a lot of discussion of "ideas" for roguelikes, as well as gameplay topics and stuff which isn't directly related to actually *implementing* stuff; I agree there's design involved on the actual programming, but it's another kind of design.

In other words, there can be design without programming, but the opposite isn't that common. That board is for discussing those high level design things.

I'd be happy to write some reviews if needed.  Any guidelines on style or content?  (I'm guessing the previous reviews on the front page are good things to emulate, but thought I'd ask anyway.)  Wayward (http://www.unlok.ca/wayward/) has been eating up a fair bit of my spare time recently, I could write you something on that if you like.

Dibs on Aliens, if that's alright?

EDIT: Prime as well, unless there's a dedicated Prime player out there (I'm very poor at it).

EDIT2: I also wouldn't mind doing Random Realms and Demon Hunt. Both have great systems that I think only developers really enjoy.

I'll PM Legend as well, he's big on Infra Arcana and he might want to do one.

Guidelines are simple, and you can check existing reviews as a reference; mini reviews are 5 to 10 paragraphs long describing the game, highlighting its distinctive features and providing a link to the game as well as 5 to 10 screenshots. A gameplay video is a plus.

All your contributions are welcome! you can mail them to me any time and I'll format them and upload them to the site.
