What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future?

Where the fuck do I begin? - Your intro post is bare and minimal effort, and doesnt really help to attract anyone to it. If you just put in some effort maybe more people would be interested. An 800~ word intro woupd be acceptable, if not optimal. - Stop bumping your thread every few hours demanding replies. Most threads experience brief sparks of activity followed by long periods of silence, so demanding replies is kind of annoying and counterproductive. To get a better view of the overall forum interest you should look at the amount of views instead. - On a related note, please stop spamming the bloody shoutbox with "look at my thing its cool" type messages. Announcing actual project updates there is perfectly acceptable, but seeking attention and begging for other people to look at your thing is gonna annoy the rest of us who use the shoutbox for, yknow, talking and announcing legit updates. - Please try not to rely on forum support. Mostly you will find that the vast majority of us tend not to type out replies and comments but express our interest or support through likes and views. Also consider the dates now, I'm pretty sure many of us have exams going on now or soon and we don't have a lot of time to spend on the forums. - And seriously, DONT TRY CALLING YOUR PROJECT A [MEMBER PROJECT] TO TRICK PEOPLE INTO THINKING ITS A COOL ASS PINNED PROJECT. Firstly we aren't that stupid, secondly thats just low. How about actually trying to improve the quality of your project rather than tricking us into looking at it? |

http://s1.zetaboards.com/Conceptual_Evolution/topic/5574215/1/ Read this guide before you continue. It outlines most, if not all, the things you should/shouldn't do. |

......not really, just kind of cranky today I guess. Still, they are good points... But everyone makes mistakes, and considering my rather discouraging tone earlier I should remember to mention don't give up on projects just because you get criticism. Generally we give criticism to save projects, not to ruin them, because most of us probably wouldn't bother to try salvaging a project thats totally wrekt (except maybe the occasional h-bomb at the end of a truly terrible work, but most people stray away from that pit of doom.). Hell, most of the shitty mistakes I mentiomrd you do, most of the best speccers did when they were new members that were figuring their way around. So go back, revise, do your work and come back to it. Eventually you'll hit a winning formula that gets the attention and interest it deserves. Edited by Torvonychus, Sep 29 2017, 04:19 AM.

Again, is it supposed to be a videogame? If yes, learn programming, make a tech demo - show it off in the forum - and only then do ask for submissions. Yes, you shouldn't give up on your project, but there's a reason you hardly see any (good) games by school students. What you're thinking of is at least a year away, very likely more. |

the first post of the Adarius thread doesn't really tell me much about what Adarius is like, or what the voting will be for...that and I couldn't find the poll. |

First off, starting off with your first project on the entire forum as a community project, and not only that but one like the one you did was probably not a good call. These sort of things are complicated and depend on the speccer's reputation I would say, of which you have, well, none. It would be better to start working on a solo project, maybe with Adarius on the side. This will help you practice and learn. Also, please don't take this the wrong way, but I don't think you actually know how to make a video game. I don't think any less of you for it, since I once (or three times) did a similar thing, but just don't include the video game thing in the post, it doesn't help and will disenfranchise you and make you look bad. (Unless I'm wrong and you actually can make a game, in which case, go ahead. |

Non Enim Cadunt! No idea how to actually hold down a project. | |

If I may be so bold as to give advice, myself only being an amateur speccer at best, despite being a fair bit older than you, I wouldn't focus on a project of your own just yet or at least don't think about posting one. Focus on the community projects and COMs to hone your skills, start discussions and learn. There is no need to rush things, take your time to settle down, gain some ideas, and then sit down and seriously think about your project. I'm talking; Maps, art, info-graphics, narratives, evolutionary histories, mind-maps etc. Once you have at minimum 7-8 ideas floating about your head for a single project, then try it. But don't start straight off the bat, learn first. |
