The BYOND Casual Guild is an official BYOND guild, meaning its games will be some of the first ones new BYOND users will see (and hopefully play). The games will have to reflect well on BYOND and encourage new users to stick around. What are we looking for in this guild?
- Professional, finished games with clean graphics and properly spell-checked text, good documentation, and an easy-to-understand interface. The game should be through its testing phases and no error messages should be visible.
- The game's hub entry must be no more explicit than to earn a PG-13 rating. If the game itself contains racier content, the hub entry must include a clearly visible warning. Hub entries must include a description of the game; screenshots or other information to entice users is encouraged.
- If player-generated content that violates BYOND community standards is commonplace in the game (through the use of social verbs, for instance) then the game's administrators must show positive action toward limiting, and preventing, such content.
- Games must fit the "casual" genre: they should be easy to get started in, not require a rulebook, and have relatively short sessions. (For a detailed explanation on what qualifies as part of the "casual" genre, have a look at the Wikipedia page on Casual games.)
- Note! In order for a game to be listed here, it must either be accessible for download or have a regular hosting schedule posted on the hub page!
All game choices will be made by reviewers on a case-by-case basis. These guidelines are subject to change and interpretation. Didn't make it in? Consider starting a guild for games like yours! |
