Title: Little Jonny Evil sequel... am i moving in the right direction?????
Post by: KANDYMAN-IAC on Mon 19/04/2004 04:03:13
Ok I've posted in the critics lounge, and i know that there is a difference but i want the opinions of all those of you that have played the first game to comment on the new game concept art...

I feel rahter very frazzled and in need of input. I want to make sure those that liked the first game can agree and like the artwork of the new game...

so here is the link for the old game...

and the link for the new concept artwork...
http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?board=4;action=display;threadid=13192

can i get as much input on both as possible... I feel like I'm making a FAN game of my own game :S

THANKS, KANDY...

I like #7 the best.. I think he should always have the knife in hand, and the character art appeals to me more than the others.

Ok, what i really wanna know is... from those of you that have played the original. What were you opinions? What did you think of the atmosphere? Character? Character art?

I'm serious by the way... i feel like I'm making a fan game of my own work...

You feel like you're making a fan game because you're asking everyone else if it's ok to do this or that.. You're capable of doing it good enough on your own I think, I played LJE and you seem like you know what you're doing. It's a good game. If anything was wrong, I'd say the puzzles were too easy and most of the game was done inside the inventory system once you collected the items.

ohh, i cant wait for this game to be finnished, i yust loved the first game,, Ill for sure try this game when its done,, i must say I really liked all art on the first game, but got a bit tired of the same song all the time, even though its a cool song.. i think you should use nr.6 or nr.7, though on nr.6 you should make a bit smaller eyes!!, but its your call, you are the creator of this game!!

Dude, it was a one room game. Of course there would only be one song. It took me only five minutes to complete it, an average midi would loop 2 1/2 times during that period.

Look. Ass ass, we've been good friends, you and I. And I can't just stand by and watch you do this to yourself. Good friends tell each other when they're doing something wrong, right? Don't take this the wrong way. I am only telling you because I care about you.

You're spelling 'Just' wrong. You're spelling it 'Yust'. It's actually spelled 'Lust'.

I like 1 and 5 the best. In my opinion, 3 (think it was) he looked more like an alien than anything. 8 makes him look younger than in the first game. You need to keep his cheek bones and color tone the same. He looks more psycho with light skin and without the "mad eyes". Like in 1 and 2, he doesn't look pissed, but you definately know he's out of it.

I suggest a calmification

just make the game and people will like it. you are your own worst critic and you'll paralyze yourself with questions before you even come close to starting the game

just make it and people will play it and like it

I actually thought the art in first game was perfect. It suited the game and gave it an unique feel.
I know how it is when you feel like you are stuck with drawings and you just can't figure out what you want... But if you are not sure about character yet, i'd suggest you to move on other things first (rooms, objects, puzzles) and do character spontaneously later, when you'll get inspired or get some good idea that you'd like.
If you'll bother with details that much in the begining already, you'll burn out.

Well, iam from norway, so I think that will explain it all, if you know a norwegian, youll understand me :D,, i dont know if this is some kind of "joke" or if your yust i nice person. The reson I think your kind a "joking" is because you wrote: It's actually spelled 'Lust'. What do yu mean about that??

Hm, Eric has a point here....
Kandy, it's commonly known that a curse strikes those games which are exposed to public before they have even started to take shape...I'd really recommend working a heck lot more on the game before letting people's opinions play this big a role....

...as a friend to a friend! You know I wish the best for little johnny evil :)
