I've been in a bit of a funk lately thinking about ways to get a little more excitement going regarding the OHR engine and its games. I'm not a big Twitter fan, but I thought it might be interesting to take a leap into the 21st century and create an account for posting and tracking game releases, news, and interesting discussions.

http://twitter.com/ohrrpgce

I'm going to link to every new release on Castle Paradox and Slime Salad, as well as things like new issues of HamsterSpeak and contest threads. Suggestions are welcome. If you're a Twitter user, be sure to follow it!


Finally, a legitimate reason for me to use twitter!

I don't really understand all the #s and @s and it makes me feel old but hopefully this does some good for someone!


I was wondering about that too, so i looked it up. Apparently @ is used to automatically create a link to another twitter account.... so now if anybody tweets anything with @ohrrpgce it should automatically become a link to this new account you created.

The # before a word becomes a hashtag... which seems to be sort of like a search keyword, but different in reasons which I have not yet found adequate explanation for... although I get the feeling that a lot of twitter users like to use it a s joke.

actually the primary function of @ is to bring things to someone's attention. You can view all the latest messages that are directed '@ohrrpgce' easily via the sidebar

I think this is a great idea! I really like twitter, and it seems like a great way to easily get your name out, and kind of remind people that you exist. I've followed already, I'm @clintmakesagame if anybody cares. I don't post...er, tweet?...much anymore, but...y'know. Soon.
