Diniden's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[LOZ: N64 Ocarina]

terrible

Terrible lag on the clicks, no pre-defined loops. You basically made something that is a little more diverting than clicking icons on the desktop.

May be add some predefined songs and get rid of the ridiculous lag and then you'll have something worth trying.

Thanks. At little bit overcritical, but thanks anyway.

AS 3...

Well, it was alrightish from a programming point of view (other than I don't think you found the way around the gotoAndStop issue people have with animations and 3.0....unless you just didn't animate), but as a game I'd have to say it was very sub par...if you did it in 3.0 I would actually expect something better coming out of it ; )

Keep trying though. Once you get a library base of your own in 3.0 you should start to be able to make some decent stuff : ), always nice to see some people trying out for the harder AS :P

Thanks :) I'm not sure what you mean by gotoAndStop though...there is only one frame in my .fla :D

Good effect

I did indeed like the tunnel effect :) A grand example of mixing an art idea with a particle engine. However, you have to watch out for CPU bog down. It's a horrible mistake you can make with particle engines of any sort. If you want to fix that up, try converting your tween for the tunnel effect into a series of pictures instead of vector graphics. That could help a lot (of course with a tad bit of quality loss).

Also, now expand on your idea some. Give it some more game elements that are are just regulated to a point and click. I can point and click things on my desktop all day and get about the same amount of entertainment :P (just doesn't look as pretty)

Keep it going though, and good luck on your future projects :)

Frederik77 responds:

Thanks :)

It's a result of playing around with MC Tween, but I would look into using just bitmap-data or a 3d engine if I were out to optimize the tunnel effect, as you say. It was just one of those sketch projects interesting enough to get a little extra polish - a bit of mood but nothing serious ;)
