Anyone want to join me in making a Thief Universe-inspired Flash card game? - by Gadget2006

Just received it, will check it out a bit later (will need to read it in detail again), and if everything is fine, I'll pack it in and release the game.

Glad it went through. Time to catch some z's.

@ Stath: There's a couple more things there... I sent you an e-mail... I promise, these are the last ones. ;)

Gaaaaah! :laff:

OK guys, the manual has been polished and it's perfect now, the package is ready. Now I just need to decide on where to host the game and then I'll make a release. If you have any proposals about hosting, please let me know.

And another question: where do I post the announcement and the link to the game? Should I just do it here in this forum?

The only "hosting" I can do is a file-sharing link to one of my accounts.
A new thread here would be most appropriate (and a PM to anyone who showed interest?), and perhaps a humble thread in the FMs forum. In past years I would've suggested the General Gaming forum, too, but they's hostile to taffers who aren't ashamed to be taffers.
Also, you can have a small description and the link as your signature line, and advertise as you participate in discussions in any forum.
Bumping your thread (easy to do with updates, of course) a few times a year will get the attention of new members. Making videos of gameplay won't hurt, either, and posts on Facebook, MySpace, and other established accounts on networking sites will help spread the word. There are various Thief fan groups I could give the game a mention to. Sneaksie advertisies.
It does seem to me that reception will be quiet, so a broader net might be best.

OK guys, thanks for the input, I think I've got it all practically covered. :)

Darn, guys, I'm sorry - I've got a rather large issue here due to my own mistake earlier... I thought I had a certain bug fixed, but the fix actually made the game crash under certain circumstances and I'm trying to fix it. Hopefully I'll be able to fix this during the weekend - if I can, tomorrow the game will be up (*keeping my fingers crossed*).

Perhaps a Christmas release?:)
