Hey, I have been posting a few screenshots of my games but they are all bland.I have tried posting some with entities, enemies and lighting but they are still called land and no one downloads the demo. I know its a noob question byt what makes a screenshot good enough the people will download the demo. Thanks in advance.

Find a intresting spot, not just from the front on some enimies. Crouch, jump, climb. If you take a pic from a crouching postion and look upwards everything will look more "deadly" or something like that.
And press F12 as GOTH said, then you can take more pic at the same time and the HUD will not be shown.

Don't just post screenshots of stuff in the game. Take the picture at an angle that makes it look cool. Take a picture where the enemies are shooting at you. Post pictures that look cool, but still show how cool your game is. But if it isn't because of the pictures, work on the level design, lighting, etc. Try to get someone to tell you what looks bland so that you can fix it.

Meh...it's less bland than the other one, that's for sure. I suggest that you use custom content. Is that blue light?

Clutter the place up with wires hanging from walls, And wooden planks and so on around, and use 1-6 keys to tip stuff on their sides.
