MMARAGE'S PROFILE

author=saix99
Its quite a easy game so I dont think I need a walkthrought, but if you guys want one then just tell me I'll post it quick as you can say "brutal fitness spices ilumina". So just tell me what you think about the game, since its my first.

It's a pretty good game so far, a couple of bugs, and a couple of mapping errors. (Like being on the left side of a hallway when entering a doorway and then being faced right.) a certain event is repeated, it's the one in the room where you have to use the pickaxe to get one of the lovely lady's numbers and it has the bucket of water... also I'm stuck on a puzzle, so I think adding a walkthrough would be a good idea, for you it is easy, but it's player and creator knowledge differentiation, you made it so obviously it's going to be really easy for you, but for others the puzzles are going to be hard to understand, like the birthday one, I felt really stupid when I realized what I was supposed to enter, and a little annoyed because of the wording.

Mother of God, Kumada, what prompted you to play this turd?

Mother of god, why does this idiot make a pointless post when he can just send a PM?

So, mmarage. You beat your own game in thirty minutes! Better congratulate yourself, as that says absolutely nothing!

Let's be less factious for a moment and really look at the situation. I mean, you built the game, know all it's ins-and-outs, and all that. Meanwhile, kumada came into this game with little or no knowledge of anything, and is making observations based on his play experience. Anyway, the thought I want to relay here is: Don't you think there would be a discrepancy between developer knowledge and player knowledge?

Yes I realize that it would take maybe take a bit more time for the player, but it's not as hard as he's saying it is 'hopelessly cutting at the end boss's HP gauge and just hopelessly crying into your keyboard' is a bit much, using skills and magic make the battles MUCH faster, the only way that a random battle could last over five minutes is if you just keep spamming attack and nothing else, also there's a certain spell in the game that you can get if you have mmarage in your party and go explore a room that didn't seem to have any relevance earlier in the game if you went to that room and saw nothing of interest, it REALLY helps with the last two bosses before the final boss.

There's a very, very good reason why this game is not noticed much. You should even be glad someone like kumada noticed your game. Goes to show you have a lot to do if you want more publicity to your game. And you should even be glad I'm telling you this. Or else I won't even bother.

I do hope you can accept some of the flaws with this game as mentioned in this review and improve on them, maybe in your next game if this is beyond fixing.

I do accept some of the flaws and I really hope that the updated version of the game that I'm putting up gets rid of some of them, but some of the things that he put up in his review were a bit much, some of the things that he said were because he had misunderstood the title, and because he was just thinking that we were just having the whole game advertising everyone to go to the site, sure the game was made to drum up business at the site, but that's it, in the game however the site is only mentioned very few times in the beginning and any more mentioning of Nitroblitz was the protagonist, it was just annoying since I had explained this before in another one of his comments, and it's also true what I said about the characters, not once did anyone say go check out nitroblitz.com or it's a super cool site, so it just annoyed me and I wanted to at least point that out.

I just wish to make a quick announcement, I'm going to be putting up a new version of Nitroblitz.com the Game Episode 1.

Changes-

1. All spelling errors in the beginning are fixed.
2. Key items are no longer usable.
3. Title change.
4. Additions to maps.
5. New armor.
6. The first armor that you buy is no longer so strong that the enemies barely harm you.
7. Weapons are stronger.

I am also certain a comma has its rightful place where it currently is. Perhaps as a child I paid attention and learned how to use punctuation correctly.

Can you explain it to me, then? I'm not looking for an argument, I just want to know in what way I'm doing it wrong so that I can fix it in my writing in the future.

I've googled it. I've checked a Webster's. I haven't found any source that shows a comma being used correctly at the end of a declarative sentence.

Help me out here?

Info on semicolons:

The Wiki is the most helpful link I can find. I pretty much use them in place of conjunctions. So in this case, you could say, "Females don't hate us, but/however/although bitches like you do!"

It sounds better without that conjunction though. A comma can be used instead like Chana explained, as semicolons (unfortunately) mostly go unused now. For the most part, a semicolon shows that the second clause directly relates to the first and it might look a bit too awkward (or there is too long of a pause) to have them stand by themselves. A good example on the Wiki is: "I told John that his shoe was untied; he looked."

You could separate these two clauses with a comma, but it's much tidier to use a semicolon. OH and you can use them to tidy up lists, too. If you've got something that is usually divided by commas but you want it to be in a list at the same time, separating them with semicolons looks a lot nicer. For example with place names: "I have been to: Wales, UK; Toronto, Canada; Glasgow, Scotland.." or with descriptions: "I saw: the postman, who complimented my shoes; the butcher, the man with no fingers; the milkman, the crazed lunatic.."

(Sorry for hijacking your picture, Mmarage. I do think this game has promise if you improve your mapping a bit, though! :P)

Me realising you actually meant commas:

EDIT: HERP, I just realised you were talking about commas. Oh well, this was also a helpful lesson. In comparison to the semi-colon, a comma is used in basic lists without descriptions and things. They're also used to separate adjectives: "the big, blue tree"

Nowadays, you will usually see a comma where a semicolon belongs due to people not liking the semicolon. :( Oh, and if you use a conjunction then there's no need for a semicolon. You may want to put in a comma to tell the reader when to breathe: "I went to the shops, but before I could find the dragon, the shopkeeper ate my arms."

Thanks, and it's alright, I'm not even sure how this whole thing began in the first place XD and also I've been working on the game a bit, I found a glitch with the key items (The letters and keys) I've fixed that and I've been trying to add things to the rooms to make them look better.
