Depends on what they're wanting to check; if it's an eye for what MIGHT go weird and wrong later, so they can think about potential answers now, that's still valuable. Obviously straight balance questions are useless at this point.Vi wrote:I think it's a bit late for you to be asking someone to check a setup that's already running
I'm pretty sure someone's done one, or at the least claimed it.

I'd like it very much if a few reviewers might take some time to tell me if the mechanics would work well, as it's kind of odd and I'm not sure how to make it better. Thank you!
No, sorry, I didn't mean to imply that at all. Game themes are reused all of the time, I was just letting you know of an example so you could look at what was done right/badly in that game.12Keyblade wrote:So does that mean I can't do mine? The setup, etc is different.

I have a question but I don't know where to ask;
I remember there being a game in which the game started off as 2 separate games, but then after a certain day, the 2 games merged into one. Can someone link me to that game?
You may be thinking of the Mini Normal Queue, where you can come up with your own setup (within limits). Open Queue allows you to gain experience with the day-to-day work of modding without having to know how to design a setup from start to finish.Nobody Special wrote:(Please don't laugh at the Newbie.)
In just under a month, I can Mod. I'm going to go into the Open games queue (primarily as it looks the least intimidating as far as set-up).
Question: If I'm running a standard, open-set-up game, does it need to be reviewed?
Well, you can't be the 'official' reviewer for a game, no. But that doesn't mean you can't use your experience to help somebody look at a setup, poke holes in their theme, etc. We just like to have somebody with a bit of experience at that type of game 'sign off' on it before it's run, to avoid problems later.Andrius wrote:Bah.

That sucks, if true.
Yes - it may take longer if there's a shortage of reviewers, but there's certainly no rule against it.Aranneas wrote:Hi there. Can we get games reviewed if we can't mod them yet? I need some help working outDreaming of You Mafia. It's a theme game - probably a mini because I don't think I could handle running it as a large - based on no existing source material.

Also, I still need a reviewer for WiH III... are you all THAT scared of the game??
I think we all just want to play it lol
No guarantee you'll get a reviewer, but it's not forbidden or anything.
