Have your own game's subforum
« on: March 12, 2013, 09:53:45 AM »
Santiago has generously offered to grant subforums for game developers. I think it is a great idea and would help to promote the Temple and help out roguelike authors who cannot afford web space with necessary infrastructure to support forums.

I have seen Z expressing interest in comments. This makes sense, finally there would be a designated place to discuss weapon setups for Hydra Slayer. Not yet major roguelike section is fine for this but then any such discussion would get lost among all the other posts. With dedicated subforum one may readily stumble on idea to search for such things. Who else would be interested? Speak your mind please!

I am thinking of asking for section for PRIME too. I have not decided yet because it is a fringe game barely noticed by the world and a forum simply appears not to be needed. ZapM had boards though and those were actually useful. Will discuss this with rest of dev team first. :-)

I think a 7DRL subforum would be good.

Even more than that, I think a "Challenges" forum under development, with "7DRL" being a subforum, would be a good idea. Would give space for people to run their own smaller challenges throughout the year, which I'm sure plenty of people here would like to take part in.

Me personally though, maybe when I have a few projects out. Whether I finish within the 7DRL or not I plan to keep working on RogueArena, and I have a few other ideas planned out, including a few multiplayer roguelikes.

Added a subforum for Playing 7DRLs and another one for Challenges.

As for the subforums, the idea is that games that already have some followers and have been developed for a bit of time have a place where their players can discuss. Hydra Slayer would be a good example of this.

I think a subforum for all my stuff (maybe except IRLDb as it is a part of RogueTemple) would be a better idea than a Hydra Slayer-only forum. If we want this (I want), I think all the threads should be moved (I had a list of the older ones on my site, but it seems unavailable for now, as well as IRLDb...)
