Swarm Development: Postmortem

[Corby]

Hey, you forgot my animation! HMF. Oh well, looks/plays great! Good work everyone!

Dammit!  Too much going on in the eleventh hour.  I'll make sure to plug this in next build.  Sorry!

Yay!

Could you release the translation file? Ekeko offered to do a translation and others might want to do that too. It's quite common that translations are added later on.

[Snarky]

I assume that at some suitable time, maybe after v1.1, the game files will be released?

I played through the release version this morning, and it's great fun! The whole thing has come together really well. And the voice actors are fantastic throughout. This time it was SpacePirateCain who really cracked me up.

If we're looking at things to polish up post-release, I think the main area is still sound effects:

-My vampire sucking sound effect doesn't time up with the animation at all. I think with some editing it will. (Or I can rerecord it.)
-I'll look for a heartbeat effect to use with the poodle-pumping
-It still really bothers me that there's no alarm sound while the doctor is having a conversation that discusses the alarm, twice! It wouldn't need to be loud or constant, just in the background intermittently would be sufficient ("drrt! drrt! drrt! - pause - drrt! drrt! drrt!" etc.)
-Maybe also a telephone mumble for the other side of that conversation? I could record some blah-blah sounds.
-The final screen with the hand emerging doesn't quite pop the way it was meant to, I think. Some combination of the audio, timing and animation is off. Of course, by handing in the animation so shortly before the deadline, I didn't give Baron much time to work on it. If I could get my hands at the source files I could take a crack at it.

And finally, I've thought of a name for the sequel:

Bryde of the Draculator

NIKOLAS'S Bryde of the Draculator 69

Come on... You know what an important part I played in the making of the game. without me, there wouldn't be a game!

[Hudders]

The next one should have a pirate in it somewhere.

The next one should have a pirate in it somewhere.

If he is wearing tight leather pants - I'm in 

[Armageddon]

Alright, let's get straight to the biscuits.



Man I suck a sprites, I think he's supposed to be Dr. Byrde. link

[Grim]

The pirate looks even meaner, with what appears to be an open zipper and his willy out....   

[Armageddon]

It's a belt buckle! :o

[Buckethead]

The pirate looks even meaner, with what appears to be an open zipper and his willy out....   

Dude Grim, I don't where you compare it with but, if so, that must be some really small manliness 

[Igor Hardy]

The pirate looks even meaner, with what appears to be an open zipper and his willy out....   

Oh my! That pirate not only has his willie out, but he's also peeing blood in such a way that it forms the shape of a pointed arrow and the letters "ARR" ("...ROW"?)

[Tabata]

I have the suspicion that some of you guys use a distorting monitor resolution (or have visual impairments)  :
