SOLVED Explain this QC. (Accepting Bad Fan-games.)

[OssieTheOstrich]

How did THIS https://mfgg.net/index.php?act=resdb&par...2&id=28092, GET ACCEPTED?

List of projects I eventually plan to finish after the indefinite hiatus is over, assuming I don't abruptly cancel them:

Spoiler

Mario's Rather Unusual Trilogy (Mario's slightly unusual Boss Rush (Completed), Mario vs. Some Unusual Foes (In development), Mario's VERY Unusual Final Frontier (In development))
Sonic's Foray into Random/Unusual Zones (spin-off of Unusual Trilogy, in development)
Angry Birds Slingshot Frenzy (In development)
Super Mario Flashback: Really Good Edition (In development)
Super Hilda DX (In only conceptual phase)

Yes, I am aware that I have about 6 or so fangame projects currently in development at the same time. And yes, I am also aware that all of this is very ambitious.

+ List of projects I'm helping out with in some small capacity during my hiatus:

Spoiler

Super Mario Bros Dimensions 2 (as a spriter, only for Mario's sprites)
MFGG Community Fangame Project 3 (as a spriter)
WordGirl ReWired (as a artist)

If it's playable and doesn't break any rules, then that would be why it was accepted. The goal of QC is to make sure games aren't rule breaking, aren't laced with viruses and that they run well enough, technically speaking, to play.

Honestly, is it really necessary to dig up a five year old game just to throw shade at staff for accepting it?

I'm pretty sure most of the QC staff has changed in five years and you're asking new staff why something was accepted when they weren't on staff to have been involved in the decision in the first place.

quality control is a misleading name, they're just submission approvers

Hylian's day job, little did we know, was saying controversial things on the internet.

I just tried this. Gotta admit, even though it's pretty awfully made, I couldn't help laughing uncontrollably hard. It's such a crack, outside of gameplay, could be worth to make LP of it for fun.

Basically, what @Pedigree said. We do our best to apply the mainsite submission guidelines to each submission. We're not here to judge whether a game is good - that's the job of reviews and comments. We just make sure that games meet a basic set of standards.

I remember playing this game and thinking it's "so bad it's good." While it was roasted in the reviews (and it's not difficult to understand why), the general consensus was that it met the submission guidelines.

Course clear! You got a card.
