    Reformatting for Aaron's benefit (please shorten the links and add your username at the end like this from now on):

    Part VN, Part RPG with Rock-Paper-Scissors: Let's Play Fate/Extra! (Squishxd)

    Under Visual Novel, In Progress

    Never Enough Pokémon Games! Let's Play Touhoumon World Link! (Squishxd)

    Under RPG, In Progress

    A new page, a new reminder! Umazes' post that you see above is correct. Another example of the correct formatting for an LP is this post:


    Posting with the right format makes it easier for me to keep the list updated (or at least, inasmuch as people post to the thread).

    I was thinking, maybe you could edit the first post of the thread to include formatting instructions? That way it's the first thing that new members see when they click on this thread, and you might not have to remind people as much. In theory.
  4. AaronSofaer Magister Mundi Elyscape

    I have edited the first post! It was outdated anyway (there are now actual rules of the LP Forum, after all) and now it is different. What do you think?

    You didn't. Would you like to observe the post above you and mimic its correctness?

    I feared as much. Unfortunately, I really don't know how to alter the link so it says the name of the thread. I'd appreciate any help I can get.

    Type out the name of the thread. Highlight it, then click on the "Insert/edit link" button in the formatting bar just above the text box.

    I've added mention of Greenshot, my Windows screenshot-taking tool of choice, to the first post.

    In making sure my Battle of Britain II Let's Play (now with 100% greater audience participation!) was listed, I realized I have a Command Ops AAR and a Conquest of Elysium 3 thingy still in progress. I guess I should get back to those at some point.

    Can it snag and save images from the clipboard automatically? Command Ops doesn't have a built-in screenshot key, and Battle of Britain doesn't have one for the campaign screen.

    Yes. It has API hooks to do exactly that.

    When I was doing screenshots for my Wiz8 LP (which I swear I'll pick back up), it was seriously as simple as "press button, screenshot appears in folder". Wiz8 is a fullscreen game, so the vast majority of screenshotting tools simply don't work for it. Greenshot has no problem.

    It also has integration with imgur (which is the site you should be default to for your pictures, seriously) but I didn't bother setting that up.

    Awesome. Pic2FileX does the same thing in a very lightweight way, but having some built-in image editing would seriously speed up my post prep process.

    You're right sorry, I thought that for every tag there was a different category.
    The game is an hybrid between rpg and point-and-click, so I guess you could put it under "Other"

    I think when I hit the max count for the Dating Sims / VMs post I'm going to split them by putting the Completed/Abandoned ones in their own post and the In Progress / On Hiatus ones in another.

    Thoughts? This seems like a better idea than trying to manually filter what's a Dating Sim game and what's a Visual Novel.

    Sounds like a fair idea to me. Especially since it's a very likely scenario and for the sake of visibillity it's best if everything is on the first page.
  34. AaronSofaer Magister Mundi Elyscape

    Sorry, to be more clear:

    Post #9 in this thread is currently reserved. I was planning to take Post #7 (Dating Sims and VMs), split it into posts 7 and 8 (Dating Sims and VMs - Completed and Abandoned, and Dating Sims and VMs - In Progress and On Hiatus) and move Other & Unclassified from its current Post #8 to Post #9.
  35. Davian Korran Hatoful Pigeon

    Oh. Yes. That would make sense. I'd still say go for it.

    Aaron, the Ruins of Light's Glory IC thread links to the Signup thread instead.

    Also, splitting the completed and in-progress/abandoned VNs/Dating Sims sound good to me.
  37. AaronSofaer Magister Mundi Elyscape

    Fixed, I think, and thank you for pointing that out!

    Pffft. I went and re-read the Thing game too. :D Can you guess what I'm planning?
