Hood: Survival Horror, Adult Adventure

If we want to be pendantic about it, 2D character sprites are ALWAYS out of perspective unless they are stood in the exact centre of the screen at camera height.. and even then technically only 1 pixel of that sprite is in perspective.

I don't know what everyone's problem is. I just played the demo and I thought it was pure awesome. It's way too early to judge your storywriting skills, but from what we do get it sounds like quite an intriguing plot. As far as works in progress go (and people seem to have forgotten that that is what this is), Hood is shaping up to be something quite special. Good luck, mate. I'll be keeping my eye on this one.

I don't have the demo *hint hint* so I can't comment on anything except the screenshots.

Sorry to ask but is this a fan adventure game?

anyway, once i've winkled out the last remaining bug (like THAT ever happens) from this stage of the game i'll pm a link to everyone who's expressed interest so far. well, at least that's not going to take long, is it?

Oh, silly me, here I was looking for a link :

Is it too late now?

I dunno. I kinda hinted a few posts up, but... nothing. Still no demo.

I was sent a link to the demo a while ago... I feel like I've put the game's creator off with few negative comments and he might've abandoned this project ( no new posts) and can't help feeling guilty about it now... So if you're reading this Hieronymous, please don't give up on it! Every game has its strenghts and weaknesses, and all I meant was to help you improve what in my opinion needed some more work put into. Don't get discouraged! I might've been a bit harsh, but only because I'm really into this zombie survival stuff and I can see lots of potential here yet to be discovered. So yeah, keep working on it and keep us posted and if you totally disagree with me on that zombie/erotica idea just try to forget I ever said it. Just seemed like a cool idea at the time...

Don't suppose you would like to share that demo? Please?

And I'm sure one person's comments didn't persuade him to abandon this game.

Looks like it was removed from the server. The link doesn't work anymore...

I thought the graphics are most excellent, but from the comments it sounds like there were some issues with the game-play itself. Either way, I'm curious to see how the game plays.

hieronymous · Wed 09/12/2009 05:51:59

the game wasn't abandoned, i just abandoned this forum

i'm always more than happy to receive, and respond to, valid constructive criticisms, especially from other games writers who understand the problems associated with turning an initial idea into a final game - particularly the compromises that often need to be made

however, i have neither the time, nor the patience, to deal with comments of a... trollish... nature

i started "HooD" with the idea that i'd make it accessible to a wider audience than my normal fare, but it seemed fairly obvious from the word go that it didn't find favour with a number of people here, and some of the comments were simply negative for the sake of being negative - not even based on the demo version of the game, but just on one or two screen shots (and one person even managing to work themselves into a lather of indignation about the borders round the screen shots ffs)

well anyway, it's no big deal. games-writing is just R&R for me. i run my own site, and i'm not beholden to this one. as things turned out, by abandoning my idea of releasing HooD here, it meant that i could rethink the content level, and in fact i've now made the whole thing rather more explicit than i was originally planning. if i was asked to give the genre a name it would probably be something like "soft core snuff p0rn. with puzzles"

the game's now been completed, and anyone interested in playing it (bearing in mind the appellation above) should be able to find it without any trouble on my site (link in sig). the site itself is not a games site, it's a 3d art site, for adults. there are a lot of well-known and respected artists in the field posting there, and some superb artwork; however some of the content will not be to everyone's taste. membership is free, but you have to register. it is NOT suitable for minors, nor is it appropriate for workplace access

p.s. if i get a spare moment i'll pm a link to the game itself to anyone who's expressed an interest in it to date

Congrats on finishing a game!

I wouldn't worry too much about the nay-sayers ... just make the game you want!
