In 1401, the sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti (c. In the later 14th century, the proto-Renaissance was stifled by plague and war, and its influences did not emerge again until the first years of the next century. His frescoes were said to have decorated cathedrals at Assisi, Rome, Padua, Florence and Naples, though there has been difficulty attributing such works with certainty. The Florentine painter Giotto (1267?-1337), the most famous artist of the proto-Renaissance, made enormous advances in the technique of representing the human body realistically. His formidable reputation is based on relatively few completed paintings, including "Mona Lisa," "The Virgin of the Rocks" and "The Last Supper." Writers such as Petrarch (1304-1374) and Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) looked back to ancient Greece and Rome and sought to revive the languages, values and intellectual traditions of those cultures after the long period of stagnation that had followed the fall of the Roman Empire in the sixth century.ĭid you know? Leonardo da Vinci, the ultimate "Renaissance man," practiced all the visual arts and studied a wide range of topics, including anatomy, geology, botany, hydraulics and flight. During this so-called “proto-Renaissance” period (1280-1400), Italian scholars and artists saw themselves as reawakening to the ideals and achievements of classical Roman culture. You said you see "no reason to be suspicious" when a person makes a new forum account with the sole purpose of making this topic.The origins of Renaissance art can be traced to Italy in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. This is not an evil agenda of course, and like I said, I'm happy for them for reaching their goal. Again, it would be really naive to assume that the forum account and this topic just happened to appear at this particular point in time. In this particular case the agenda was probably to post the same thing in all CCG gaming forums to get people donate on a Kickstarter project that was at the time underfunded with only 3 days left in the clock. However I don't think anyone makes a new forum account just to advertise some other game in the Off-topic section, unless they have some kind of an agenda. Frostmire (whose username is lifted straight from Shadow Era btw) could be a veteran of Card Hunter and might some day even post non-Shadow Era related stuff, in which case I do apologize sincerely. Just because someone says they are just a regular Joe, does not mean they are, unless you want to live your life believing everything you are told, which I personally don't.
Marketing shills have been around ever since the first gaming forums appeared.
These forums seem to have a pretty laid back attitude towards moderating (not deleting name-and-shame topics etc.) so I guess topics like this one are fine, which is good for a gamer like myself.īut I will add that it would be really naive to assume that all newly joined members who post only about some other game are just average gamers like you and me. But like I said, it all depends on the devs and how they want to run things. While it might be great for players to learn about new games, it's not that great for developers because some players could stop playing (and paying) Card Hunter and switch to those new games instead. Sure we all play CCG's and are interested in them, but this is not a general gaming forum, it's a Card Hunter forum.
You are looking at this thing from a players perspective whereas I am looking at it from the developers perspective. An ad is and ad whether you advertise games or fake watches. Just because it's "Off-topic" does not mean it's also "No rules, anything goes" where anyone can make a new account and start posting their Viagra ads. If they don't want other devs or "fanbois" to be able to advertise their games for free, topics like this one should be deleted, like they often are on other forums.
