To make this a better place, please abide by the following rules of this forum:

- Hence the title, only post your finished projects here. Demos belong in "Work in Progress"

- Don't post games that are vulgar and/or contain sex or pornography. Carefully rate your game when they are not appropriate for all ages.

- Don't post screenshots containing nudity

Here are some other things you should keep in mind:

- Don't flame people about their games. I.E. "That game is a horrible piece of filth. You must be a retard to make that!" << Not a good thing...

- If your game or someone else's is religiously themed, please do not get into a long religious discussion. It can cause flame wars, and the forum would be happier without fights.

- Try to add a screenshot, if you can, along with the game. You don't HAVE to, but it would greatly improve the chance of people playing it.

- And finally, please name your topic clearly after your game, or at least based on what it is. No lame-names like "CHECK OUT THE GR8EST GAME EVAR!" or "Play my game" You get my drift. Besides, if people see the title, they will be more willing to try it out.

- If you have a screenshot(s) in your topic, keep them to a reasonable size so they don't take forever to load and or mess up the forum tables.

- Try to avoid uploading screenshots as bitmaps (.bmp). JPEGs (.jpg) or GIFs (.gif) are better because they take much less time to load.

- Make sure your screenshots work. No one likes to look at a red X.

- Hint on screenshots: Have one of the title screen, and one of actual gameplay.

- If you have to use *Right Click > Save Target As ...* on a link to download your game or have to copy the link to the address bar, it's helpful to specify. Same with screenshots.

- Don't post a link to a website, and tell people to find the game there. For courtesy to others, post a direct link only. Not in your signature.
If you have a host which doesn't allow hotlinking, you should take a look at the topic in the Distributing forum. Any topics which do not follow these guidelines risk getting closed.

- Make only ONE topic per game.

- Aside from a screenshot, try putting an outline of your game in the topic (e.g. title, genre, story etc.).

- This is not the forum to post a request for a game.

cheers
