    Discussion in 'New Member Introductions' started by Danbesaints, Nov 18, 2020.

    Hello!

    I'm Danbe Van Saints and I'm a Game Director and writer.
    I'm here to learn from this community and share some of my ideas.

    Happy to connect with anyone who loves hard sci fi and fantasy.

    Welcome! I'm a bit of a gamer myself. What games have you been part of? If you don't want to mention any because of anonymity, that is perfectly understood.

    Thank you, @Madman
    I own a small game studio working on our first big project called Mask of the Goddess.
    If anyone is curious, you can download the demo here.

    Hello, Danbe, and welcome. Game Director, huh? Cool! I'm currently studying game development myself, certainly a very interesting field.

    I know I'm new here but the moderation is awfully tough and blind to context. Didn't put the link as advertising but answering a question from a colleague forum member.
    Context is king, friend moderator.

    Yeah. Came late to the party of game development. I wish I had the proper formal training but I'm enjoying it so far.

    The rules are clear "No unauthorised advertising anywhere on the site: By advertising we mean the promotion of any product or service you are affiliated with or stand to benefit from in any way." Under that definition posting links to the demo of games you are developing is absolutely advertising regardless of why you posted them.

    However we are aware that context is king... if we thought you were an actual spammer you'd have been permabanned. Since it is clear from the context that it was simply an accidental breach of the rule the link was merely deleted with no consequence to you.

    Feel like I am partially to blame here, almost setting Danbe up. I should have asked a more general question.

    Oh well, all water under the bridge, I hope!

    Thank you for the clarification, @big soft moose. I'll keep this in mind.
