Team up

I would take into account the type of project I want to make, and the talents of the team members before I could give a concrete answer. Also, there isn't a huge pool of people to choose from anywhere. No offense to anyone; but as far as composers, who do we have to choose from in the community (who actively compose VG music)? Two people? Three?

As far as this one project (my next project after Phantom Legacy is done) is concerned, here is hypothetical answer.

Music : Brandon / malad / whatever his name is right now.
Side Scrolling Engine : WIP + Hima
Story : Myself (IM A RITER!) + Admiral Styles
Graphics : Teo
Level Design : Myself + Neophyte (?)
Testing : YDS + Neophyte + Rockman + Rowen

(If I didn't mention anyone's name, it is not out of contempt or anything; it's either because there's not enough room for too many people, or in neophytes case; I've never played anything you've released. >:( )

The game would be a prequel, story driven sidescroller to the first Legacy game, using a spell/shooting system stolen inspired by a simple Mega Man X4 weapon (Cyber Peacock).

The game would be made in game maker, or Ika... Or whatever.

So it would be kind of a hybrid RPG action game, with dashing and the like, telling the untold story of the exiled prince who...
Would later become Shadar.


Collaborations however, as I doubt I need to remind many; are difficult. Work habits and personality differences often spell doom for many projects. (Anyone remember DOOMSDAY from Rpg2knet, and the supposed leaked demo?)

In your opinion, which series fans are the worst?

MMORPG fans, not one of any specific type; but if you want the apogee of MMO cultism, go to the Darkfall Online forums.

I warn you : don't mistake these forum goers for human beings...

Or hell, look at Warhammer Online fans. Oh look, a crucial pillar of the game is broken : "SCREW U GUYZ ITS ONLY BEEN OUT FOR FIVE MONTHS GIVE THEM TIME TO FIX IT".

MMORPGs used to be a drug; but after a staggering amount of time; people have finally begun to figure out it's a artificially lengthened sham. Well, some people.

Certain attempts to deviate from the boring formula have been made (Warhammer Online) but they've largely ended in failure. Vanguard, LOTRO, Warhammer, Age of Conan, WoW, interchangeable time sinks. People perform menial tasks in them that even they themselves admit aren't fun (Rep grinds) yet they continue to play, AND PAY FOR IT.

Darkfall is next up the bat, the supposed next big thing. After the latest two failed evolutions, and the large amount of red flags raised by the over-secretive and green horn developer : Aventurine - most REASONABLE people are skeptical. Skeptical of what? Of the long list of too good to be true features the game promises.

Play Something! Day III [February 4th, 2009]

I've played and reviewed puppet. Now to muster up enough patience to finish Alter Aila (after barely managing to find my way through the dungeon, I run out of items, so now I have to LEAVE, buy stuff, come back and fight the boss who keeps kicking the crap out of me.)

Moments that have annoyed you!

3 - While walking around, or working; having mothers grab their children like as if I'm going to devour their bones.

Is there something about your appearance that suggests you like to eat children? I have experienced a similar annoyance, but in a school setting, because every young male teacher is a raging sex offender.

Maybe I do look profoundly evil; though your second explanation is much more likely.

Moments that have annoyed you!

1 - Back when I had a different boss, the prick would call me nearly every day I had off asking me to come on. One time, the previous night I had arrived home at 11pm from work. The next day at 7am he calls me up asking me to come in. Yeah; no.

2 - When I went to get my Warhammer Online preorder (that I wish I didn't get), having the clerk stare at me like a dead beta max for 3 minutes, and then spending another 5 staring at the back of the box before handing it to me.

3 - While walking around, or working; having mothers grab their children like as if I'm going to devour their bones.

4 - "Hello, may I have a small iced coffee" "Ok that'll be ____" *Money* *Guy plops down a small regular coffee with a dumb grin on his face* ...

"Excuse me, I'm sorry; I asked for a small ICED coffee."

*Dumb clerk makes a face and makes me the order I asked for*

...

*NEXT DAY!*

"Excuse me, may I have a small Iced coffee"

*Clerk does the same exact thing as the previous day*

... ... "I asked for a plain ICED coffee."

*Clerk hands me iced coffee with flavoring*

So then I tossed the coffee on the floor and left. Wee. I don't understand how people can get a simple order wrong three times.

It has been mentioned earlier that badluck hired artists to do pixel work, about how much has this project cost you so far, Badluck?

-CLOSED-*Get Your Game Reviewed*

Seemed fair enough to me, and even ended on a positive note.

Fallen-Griever's Review Thread

Would you mind elaborating on the pairs of character issue you noted in your review? Are you talking about NPCs or the main characters?

It might just be because this is only a short demo (which wouldn't shock me), but whenever two characters interact with each other they tend to do so in the same way regardless of the situation. This is good for consistency, I guess, but it seems a little out of place at times (such as Thanatos and Lilith arguing when a boss is about to attack them).

Oh, let me ask you one more thing. What did you think about the text speed? I've been thinking of changing it to the fastest speed.

The text speed didn't bother me too much, but I think a lot of people will be annoyed with the way you use \| after commas and other such grammar.

Thanks, the feedback was very helpful.

Big Deal: Why are there so few game reviews?

2 - How many of the 900 are unplayable garbage like DOOMS 3?
Considering I review the vast majority of the games before they appear I can say there's a ton. I've actually started rejecting certain games that have such poor quality that I don't feel they're a worthy addition to the site.

If we enforce higher game submission standards for RMN3, I think that overall we'll find higher review submission levels.

Off the top of your head, do you have any suggestions?

[DEMO] AFTERMATH 0.5

2.5 score is not good enough for me to continue the project. I think I'm done with game making.

...Honestly, are you freaking serious?
