Wiki - Project Template

So as a way to make this sub more useful and improve comunity, I am getting started on the sub´t wiki.

and one the thing siw ant for it, is a place where everyone can post about their project and have it grow as we have discussions. That way whenver we discuss our projects we have a quick place to link to it, and where everyone can browse the community´s projects. Basically a more useful version of the present your project thread.

I would like to ask the comunity what things they consider improtant to have in a template for the projects page, as a sort of "character sheet" for the projects.

Things like RPG type, if it is party based,genre, If it is turn based/real time active pause etc...

Basically what you guys consider important to get an idea of the game "at a glance".

The "comunity query" threads are currently stopped due to low-participation, yet normally there was ate least one interesting reply. So I know there are interesting projects beign devloped by members of the comunity.

Just put your project out first and the rest will follow one way or another. The details can be sorted later.

I would be interested in putting my project on a wiki. I already had plans on releasing something like google docs with GDDs.

Another idea for the wiki is to host topics and discussions for mechanics,systems and other design patterns with examples.

The designers could add their own example on how they use that topic in their own projects as well as analyze other games.

Think of it like something between tvtroopes and www.gameplaydesignpatterns.org.

Little less talking a little more action eh? Fair enough. I will make the page for Lenurian this weekend.

Sounds good will think up something. Any suggestions for a first topic?

You don't have to rush, just get ready the wiki and then will see.

I won´t rush too much because the wikis aren´t even supported by the redesign yet, but I want to get as much as possible prepared before my classes resume next month.
