Any developer interested in putting together a quest review app so that any and all quests can be reviewed and evaluated?
The app would allow new entries to be added by our team and given a rating, plus rated on specific items. It would also allow others who've played the quest to rate it and give a comment. A download location should also be provided. Maybe a version that the quest is at, the date released, and the date the of the review.
Probably best as a web app (perl, cgi, and possibly mySQL DB -- sourceforge gives access to all of these). I'd have to check that all these are still allowed.
There's no urgency to this (yet), but it would be nice to have.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
any quest (not just the ones we create) can be reviewed and evaluated so that any visitor to the site can decide if they want to go download and play based on our recommendations.
criteria could be: story, new elements, graphics, sound, enjoyment value, overall rating
other information we would capture would be:
suggested # players, chained quest (1 of X), total playing time, game style (hack-n-slash, adventure), setting (swamp, snow, etc)

we are still months ahead of game release, and DS promises to be one of the greatest RPG's of our time, not to mention the fact that unlike some other companies, (BLIZZARD!!) all the mod making utilities are being given to us with blessing, instead of being hidden from us. I think that we'll have a great many mods to play and rate, and i believe that we'll have a great mod of our own for others to rate! (planetDS, microsoft's DS site, etc...)

Question: reviewed and evaluated for what?
What criteria?
Thanks.

Oh, I see, like movie reviews, with more info.
I hope there are enough different mods that we need such as thing...
