Rate Evo!
Hey guys, if you don't mind too much, do me a solid and rate evo on the desura site (it's the same login as moddb and indiedb). Unfortunately the amount of ratings are so low that one asshole kid rating it at a 1 drags the entire thing down. Help plox?

Re: Rate Evo!
Thanks guys
I was really upset earlier when I saw a rating of 1. Seriously, anything below 5 is reserved for games that simply do not run at all. Especially because these are the kinds of guys that never bother to try to comment, or report or even bitch about stuff. They just troll and run off. The worst part is I can't do a damn thing about it.

Re: Rate Evo!
People rating before they really try it is no good.
Re: Rate Evo!
I like how the only person who dared to only give an 8 instead of a perfect 10 got downvoted.

Re: Rate Evo!
Didn't you also edit CA ad lines to be less biased way back when?
Sorry bro, advertising isn't about being honest.
Re: Rate Evo!
If I rate a game I care more about giving honest info to a potential user than supplying the producer with best possible advertisement.
Giving a 10 just to inflate the score is just as bad as giving a 1 to shit on the score. It's not good advertisement either if USER reviews are too obviously spammed as pure uncritical advertisement, it makes the score mean nothing.
If the reviews look like they were made by a spambot, it doesn't really matter if that's actually not the case.

Re: Rate Evo!
If your product cannot be advertised favorably in an honest manner, than doing so is unethical.
I haven't rated the game, as I haven't played the current release nor does Desura support my operating system.

Re: Rate Evo!
Pretty much a bunch of guys voted 10
Evo is at best a 7 IMO. Hell I put an 8 for gundam which was +2 because I like-a-the gundam :)

Re: Rate Evo!
Johannes has a good point, some of you guys set avatars at least, it's too obvious you logged in just to give it a 10. :D
If we can get people to give it a decent try, I think the game will stand on its own merit. It's going to be hard to get a playerbase decent enough to be self-sustaining though. I really don't have much time myself to help seed games atm.

Compared to what? Compared to anything else on moddb, gundam is a 10, evo is a 10, zk is a 10...smoth wrote:Evo is at best a 7 IMO.
Notice, I asked people to rate it. I did not ask people to rate it a 10 (course I appreciate it guys . The point being that the more ratings there are, the less effective a single asshole rating at 1 will be.
Make sense now?

Re: Rate Evo!
It will definitely stand upon it's own merit! I habeeb it. I know that everyone else here has put eons of effort into their projects, so I am not downing them, but I have but oh so much effort into having a good public product. I also think I have accomplished this (of course with some rough edges here and there).luckywaldo7 wrote:Johannes has a good point, some of you guys set avatars at least, it's too obvious you logged in just to give it a 10. :D

Also, guys, if you could if you feel like messing with it, I have taken luckywaldo's advice and turned the google groups forum into a dev forum (which is really what it was anyway) and opened up the desura forums.
http://www.forums.evolutionrts.info should redirect there fairly soon as soon as dns gets off of it's ass. I would appreciate any thread posting that I can get. Even if it's commenting about shit that is obvious or stuff you already know (just pls not spamming ). It would be nice because I'd like to have a little bit there so people won't be afraid to post.
I suppose with bug reports and forums, I'm going to have to bend away from what is convenient for me as opposed to what is easiest for players.

Lets see 5 is average 10 is perfect..
spring engine craps out about large maps this build of the engine...
pathfinder does crazy insane bug that chews a user's cpu..
most video cards cannot apparently handle spring..
lets assume you produce something actually solid
with halfway decent art.. I say the art is about middle ground..
I don't believe evo is yet balanced in a reasonable way(you just don't have the player count to do that yet)
maybe above average.. so a 6
well lets assume your game is riviting for something that can only be played online..
with no single player...
no story...
man that takes it down a notch...
what about man the gameplay? well nothing really special here. maybe I am missing it but you don't seem to have anything really special here.. like say dow or ruse brought to the table..
I don't see any reason why any spring project deserves above an 8.

Re: Rate Evo!
Man that is an fps. Also, choose indie, not mod. Last time I checked, we aren't working on mods.
Re: Rate Evo!
telling us here what and why you would rate evo is meta-discussion without bearing.
the important thing is to DL it, try the desura version, and give a rating. nobody is asking you to lie; its easy, and the sooner you do it, the sooner evo gets that one more rating, that in turn shows people that yes you can download it and try it.
a vote for evo is a nudge up the ladder for the popularity of spring engine, this is a no-brainer.
nobody is asking for anything unethical like voting high for something you don't like. dont get me wrong; i love all you guys and the fact that (perhaps) some of you might inflate a score as a favor to us (as i probably would for any project on here; we're friends after all) ... really the important thing that i wonder about is people from outside of the spring community downloading and rating the game.... that was the whole point of the desura move after all; to bring more players. period.

Re: Rate Evo!
It's worth noting that the Ubuntu version is exactly the same as the Desura version, so if you happen to have that, then the rating you would give it still applies.

Re: Rate Evo!
I meant in RTS. Why would you compare it to another genre? That's just dumb.
Re: Rate Evo!
Some of the Red Alert 3 mods are looking quite good:
