CASHMERECAT'S PROFILE

This is beautiful. I'd like to know who Kikiyama is now. She seems rad.

It depends on the scope or size of the map. If all gameplay is concentrated in one small area, and you don't have to move around much, then such a navigation system is acceptable. Moving slowly is only tolerable if the goal points are in close proximity to the player. I can imagine that if there is a small lag between steps, as in the video, walking to the other side of a very big map will be a frustrating process.

It's a lot like video game advertisements using live action film or other non in-game footage. I don't UNDERSTAND it.

I think it's cos it makes people more hyped to play the game. In practice, you'd have 100% in-game screenshots, but if your game isn't extremely visually exciting, that isn't going to cut it for some people. So you make up for it by including some exciting non-screenshots and videos of non-gameplay to beef it up.

I'm not saying it's *right* per se, but I don't think it's wrong. Just don't overdo it.

That said, some awesome trailers (Gears of War, Deus Ex: Human Revolution) have no gameplay in them and yet they're awesome trailers for awesome games. So it can go either way.

Hey Faenon! Unfortunately, I'm not doing only-feedback reviews anymore, since I usually write from the perspective of convincing players to play the game, or how it could be improved. Also I want the makerscore and reviews look pretty. But either way, would you still be willing to have the game up for review if it was an unrated review? Because that can be a form of criticism but except I wouldn't put a score on it unless it is finished. The downside of that for you, is if I'm supposed to give you a 4.5 or a 5 for the game, I can't because it's an unrated review. So it goes either way, I guess.

So... you still keen?

For those who thought I was joking about making an RMN fangame - I'm super serious.



OK, maybe it's not so serious. o_o
