I feel that my name is quite suitable.

Is it going to be like an action game..or is there going to be a developing story and puzzles?

Sweet looking game, by the way.  ;)

I would be quite honored to be one of the characters in your game, no matter how weak/dopey my character is portrayed. :)

It's just that your game looks so awesome and horribly addictive. Keep it up!

if you're planning on making this a commercial game I would advise against using either of my names.

They're both copyrighted.

But if not, I wouldn't have a problem with it at all!

well, I guess even those with six letters could make it into the game... if there is enough narrow letters in the name, that is.  :D
No, the reason is simple - 5 letters limit is there due to the size of the name box. 6 and more would go over the edge.

Hey, this game looks kinda cool... I'd like to get in on this.

I can only assume that my forum name is too long.  If you use my name, you could just use Jekyll, or, if you're going to be anal about the whole "5 letters only" thing, just use Hyde... or my mIRC name (my real name), Sully.

MIA, KIA... I forget the rest of the acronyms associated with POWs and casualties of war... can I be MIABWRJITLFALT?

hehe... but I wouldn't care weither my name is in the game ;)
Title: Re:Using forum names in a game..
Post by: foz on Wed 07/04/2004 00:51:04
Its dropped to 4 letters.......

Due the graphics..(dogtags are small).

HYDE...is in..

I Have 40 names.....not sure if the game needs that many....

Basically when a soldier dies in a mission...as in real life thats it .....6 feet under.

This post was so i could exclude anyone who objected...as i would`nt want to offend anyone...

It `s not in my nature

You should use Jools as a reference to cannon fodder. My brother used that guy throughout the whole game keeping him alive each level. That game was awesome. Oh, but Jools is 5 letters... you could use josh (my real name), but I don't mind.

Post by: jaz on Wed 07/04/2004 08:58:31
I'm not sure on this but I still think that 5 letters are manageable. At least with dogtag design I still hope will be implemented... foz???
But if it's not possible script-wise, then it's not possible. I am not the one to decide.

Theres lots of names done so might be best to put this a the back of the to do list....maybe change before release....

Title: Re:Using forum names in a game..
Post by: jaz on Wed 07/04/2004 13:41:27
depends on the font used and if it's possible to script it. My design (look at avatar) uses Courier New font size 7 (PSP 7) and should be OK for 5 letters even embossed. But I don't know if it's  possible for you to make it look this way...
SSH: Dunno if people would be that much excited playing bad guys who always get killed ;). Maybe we could pick some another gamemaking forum members and declare war to them! BTW: I guess you are in as well.

Yes, this game is still in production and it will be released sooner or later. The fact is that speed of development dropped, especially after Coup de Cup. Also we both, foz and me are working people with not much free time on our hands and personally I've been pretty bussy as of late and so is foz I suppose. I expect to have more free time come October so there will be hopefully some work done and progress to show

Let me assure you that there is so much already done that it could be released within week or two, but we don't want to disappoint your expectations.

But let me stress this once more: IT WILL BE RELEASED!
