Organizational Guidelines

[Maj]

... are not overly important. When making a thread, you shouldn't waste more than 15 seconds asking yourself which forum it belongs in. Worst case scenario, you'll be way off and i'll move your thread/post to a more appropriate location.

Here's a basic rubric to follow if you wanna save me some time. Anything that has to do with an existing video or the proposal/production of an upcoming vid goes in the Combo Video forum. Every other gameplay related topic goes in Game Engine Analysis, including discussion of individual clips that you don't intend to publish. The News and Community Events section is self-explanatory, but it also serves as an all-purpose watercooler for off-topic conversation. Finally, universal tutorials and FAQs will eventually end up in the Guides and Resources area. However, that's not necessarily the best place to ask a quick question about a specific game or a specific video.

Look around and use common sense to keep this place organized, but don't worry too much about making simple mistakes.

Once again, don't be shy about making threads announcing your videos - or even a thread for cataloguing your entire repertoire of past releases.

Regarding Vanguard Princess, many people are calling it a "Capcom" game because Suge9 who is on staff for VP is heavily rumored to be a former Capcom employee. It very obviously is an EnterBrain game though, but highly impressive for a doujinshi (and for a 3BFG).

Yes, all the characters are girls (and the assists are too), what else is new with Japanese doujins.
