| Authenticity, exploration, action, mystery? What do you think makes players most attracted to games? |

| That's a fair point, but I'm trying to aim it more towards mechanical concepts. |

Probably shooting things, getting easy kills. I don't think people want much else it seems, sadly. I wouldn't mine playing a very well made rpg, or even a well made RTS, but a good adventure game would be fun to, I knew someone was making one, made a trailer that got 3rd or something in a video thumbnail contest, but it seems he left the project. -Do not summon me again!- |

| I think most of the games on the front page are based on social experience. Minigame style places used to be really popular, but MikeD's place broke and I haven't seen many since. |

| I would say "casual" games or games with a lot of content. I personally hate games that take you seven years to complete a small section of an area and when you die, there's no checkpoint. |

| Flare, I understand your frustrations with unfair difficulty but your ideas feel really disjointed. "Casual games or games with a lot of content" aren't exactly synonymous terms. Also, the quantity of content doesn't really tell how much the average player would enjoy it. |

Okay then, To expand on "casual games", I mean games that would be comfortable to play, and not constantly have you on the edge of your seat (No time limit, negative points, etc). Along with the content, I would like a nice game where I can spend a few days or couple of weeks completing, unless it's an endless game (minigames, tower defence, etc.) Sorry if this still isn't enough information for you. |

| Ictis, I don't have a facebook, nor have I ever played a game on it. So I don't know. You could just take a look at the front page if you'd like. This is my favorite game yet: http://www.roblox.com/Deadzone-Apocalypse-Simulator-place?id=102410241 |

I personally enjoy timeless games. Or games whose genres I enjoy (FPS, Hide n' Seek, survival, etc)
Some examples are daxter33's Painball, stickmasterluke's Laser Tag Arena, Ravenclaw's Hide 'n Seek, and Apocalypse Rising. |

| Thanks, it isn't out of ALPHA yet. Even though there are only 8 weapons today I made 5 new guns which are: M1911, M9, M4A1, G3A3, and FN FAL. |

| Wolv, if you'd like to share your design process, notes on designing, etc, then great. This isn't the place for advertising, though. |

Well, it more depends upon the player who plays your game. Something I've seen is that players don't want it to get to repetitive yet they want a lot of time to be able to play without getting bored.
Try something unique that you find fun. |

I'm a big fan of games that go outside the box, especially roblox games. I dislike games on here that have nothing unique about them.
It's always a good idea to keep the gameplay fresh. Also, having a (good) storyline in your game is good. |
