This is no different than the project by SunTeam....

Wrong; Paul demonstrated his ability to write intelligent and witty reviews, fact check, and lay out attractive pages long before the book came along.  Ayce has provided nothing of the sort.

But I'm not saying he's incapable or that he shouldn't be doing this project.  I say go for it, but it's not surprising that people are skeptical, especially when the original post asking for help is so flawed.

Hey Ayce, if you haven't already, can you post a sample page or two? Or just an example of the type of thing you're looking for? I'd be interested in helping, but I'd like to see some sort of style guide or example.
Games I Need: Bonk 3 (HuCard), Legend of Hero Tonma, Magical Chase, Soldier Blade, Super Air Zonk.

Got one to sell? PM me!

As for the proof of work... I guess the information I already posted back in 2010 is probably gone off the site by now. Also of what I posted just a few posts back about my last project http://www.cardfighterproject was either ignored or no one bothered clicking on.

Necormancer is right... I don't have witty writing skills which is one of the reasons I'm also asking that users of the forum write the reviews. When I get back home I will post an example of one page to the public forum. I have been sending a lowres example to the private areas to those who actually showed an interest. Because it's still in development I didn't want to release anything, but if that is what it may take to show you what I have been working I will do that.

I will get that info for you when I get home where I have it saved to a document for easy cut and paste.

Hey that link doesn't work. But I too would like to see samples of your work and what you have in store for this book.

Ayce, great idea opening this up to the forums and making this a community project!  I know having more than just three or four people contributing will improve the quality of write up/articles!!  Thanks for bringing this little project back from the dead.  :)

I'll get back to you once some free time pops up and I can send you some of the work I've put together thus far!

Thanks Josh for all the help you put in when this project started in 2010. I wish that I wouldn't have lost so much of the details with my HDD crash. I'm now backing up the work on multiple hard drives just in case.

I know the pain of harddrive crash. It's happened to me. I almost gave up, myself. It took years to get back.

I would LOVE to contribute some writing to this. Particularly, Bomberman, which was the game that got me into gaming.  My dad would play the game all the time. He'd never use passwords. 1-1 to 8-8 every time, if he could.  I still remember my sister and I playing outside, when my mom first called and said "COME INSIDE! YOUR DAD BEAT THE GAME!"

We all ran in, watched the ending, and my dad was so happy.  It was amazing, and I will never forget it.  It's the only video game he ever played that much.  He wouldn't always beat it, but he'd usually play for a few hours before either dying, or getting stuck without the detonator, or "control" as we called it. 

So glad I came back to the forum today.  I missed TG16 discussion.

It would be inappropriate to let our homebrew devs write their own entries, but you have a unique opportunity to include a little commentary or a few quotes from them to flesh out the entries some. Definitely try to include them somehow.

Yes, I really like that idea. Like I said previously... I have not decided fully how to implement the Homebrew stuff. I don't want to use the usual review/write-up as with the majority of the games. I want to do something a bit different with the homebrew.
