[edit] Amaranth Games

Amaranth Games (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable game with no reliable, non-trivial sources to support notability. Original research. Non-verifiable plot details. Andre (talk) 17:13, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Article needs a major overhaul and bringing back into the fold. Appears to have been an article on the Aveyond series which has been converted to an article on Amaranth, the developer, but the wording doesn't reflect that. Sources exist as reviews of the games, as well as some interviews to provide further details of Amaranth itself. Here's the Aveyond reviews I found: Quandary Land, Game Tunnel, Gameplasma, GameZebo and Netjak, I think there are more out there too. There's some reviews for Grimm's Hatchery: Game Tunnel, Gamezebo and Casual Review. Again, I didn't exactly scrape a comb across google, I expect at least another couple of usable reviews for that game. Couple of interviews: Gamezebo, Game Tunnel and womengamers.com. I'm going to try and bring it round during this 5-day period. QuagmireDog 06:13, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The game has won several awards as can be seen from the Amaranthia website and google searches. It's very popular for an amateur game and was a cornerstone for the RPG Maker XP community in proving that a game designed with RMXP could turn a profit. It's hardly non-notable or trivial - Escape Velocity was hardly 'widespread' notable to begin with either. I'm not saying this as a fan of the game, either. Apologies for not knowing how to format this correctly, still learning. - Scribblette 21:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
