Post by: rtf on Sat 27/03/2004 02:32:15
The codephrases for disaster:

Telephone and computer being fixed...

No Intercom...

Door locked from inside...

5:00 PM (17:00)...

Evening deep-sea fishing trip at 5:30...


....


Introducing the promotion for the most awaited Short all quarter....

Hold your breath and wait for this game., sure to be a smash!

And even though It may be small, or short, don't let that make you not want to play!  That just means that there is a lot of care in a 3 room game, rather than medium care in a 20-room game(Not saying that all long games have no care, most of them are awesome.  I'm just sayin, the ones that dont.. nevermind)

1-2-3 o'clock,4 o'clock Lock! 5-6-7 o'clock 8o'clock Lock! 9-10-11 o'clock 12 o'clock Lock! We're gonna be locked around the clock tonight!  ;D
Sorry, could not resist. That is where the name came from right?
ok...
The cursors look really funny (in a good way). Even the guy's face made me laugh. This should be an interesting game. How can something full of Gradients not be?

It looks great!
I can't wait for it to come out!
I love the cursors, and the character made me laugh.  Cute.

I like that sunset thing on the second screenshot.
I can tell that the game is mainly based in the office.  I am curious to know what you use with such limited space!

Gradients...Why, oh why oh why? Please refrain from using gradients, then I might consider playing the game when it's done...

That's kind of funny Zor, seeing how your signature has an enourmous lens flare and all...

Gradients in a  real-life drawing (background): BAD
Gradients in non-bground: Not so good but can be done.

Wow this game would be so good, if it hadn't have gradients! The gradients really make it look bad! AArgh, my eyes :p


ok ok... serious, it sounds funny, though can't you make the game alittle longer? I mean 3 rooms, and a crapload of puzzles... hard to believe i.m.h.o. but we'll see the 8th of April ;)

About the gradients? They're hard to use, but if you use them well they'll look pretty nice

I can't play it on my system so I sent it ot CJ for a look.
He said it was fine on his, so I sent the music to see if it had anything to do with it... :(

Don't worry, I will crack this thing.  I promise.

New anticipated release date: April 20th


No!  Wait!  EDIT:::::::::::

I fixed it myself!  That's 2 fatal errors I have fixed in 2 weeks!  

New Release Date:  April 11th!!!! (I already have a Beta Tester, so don't come crying);

Geez, people on these forums are fucking Nazis about gradients.  It completely escapes me sometimes.

Best of luck with your game, releasethefrogs :)

A big hug :)


OK, there is another fatal error.  Life sucks when you have my computer.

But I know that it will be fixed- so keep calm everyone.




BTW I need 2 beta testers for when it is fixed, whoever replys first will get the job, whoever reply's second may get the job, too.
