Counterfeit

Okay, yes not what you all expected...I've cut the game down, so now it's just the first part...The reason I cut this game down, was because the parser was becoming too much to handle. When I started out with this, I was like all "This game is gonna be SO cool!", but it didn't turn out that way.
I realised that what made a good game were not all the added extras that you might try and squeeze in, but what really made a good game was a solid story, good character interactions, and in this case, suspense.
It didn't turn out like that. But anyway, here it is for the Beta-Testers...
I think I have probably learned a very valuable lesson from all this, and probably the most valuable lesson I can learn yet...
Hum, I took so long to do so little...

If he made so much money, why is his room still such a mess? Why does he want to print the counterfeit money. How did he learned it?

In the walkcycle the feet move too far to the back, and he should swing with his arms. Btw...I don't think someone that is stressed because the cops are after him, would stand with his hands is his pockets, would you?

The background looks fine... and I'm looking forward to how you are going to pull this off

Wow, you see, this exactly the reason we have forums like these, I would never have thought of those questions.

Btw: It is going to be a parser-based game.

Click on "edit" on your first post in this thread. Then change the topic, just like you would want to change your post

Find out in the intro!

Quotestand with his hands is his pockets, would you?

What can I say? I'm just a lazy animator...

rtf · Thu 01/04/2004 06:11:41

Hehe, that's what I did, except I forgot the pockets...

I love short games, so I am waiting for this one to come out.

If you look really close, his legs are going around in circles. I like the animation, as it makes it look the most natural with the least frames, but look at it. Either that or this grape juice is older than I thought...

Rik_Vargard · Fri 02/04/2004 02:50:45

Yeah... the animation, it's like at some moment, the left leg becomes the right leg.... or something...

Anyway, I like the ambient of the screenshots, but why such little resolution?

Phemar · Fri 02/04/2004 06:34:49

The little resolution: I just love small res pics, I really am a sucker for pixelised graphics.

The walkie: You think it would help if I shaded his back leg darker than his front leg or something? Then you could distinguish...

Rik_Vargard · Fri 02/04/2004 11:21:58

Well yeah, I think shading the back leg would be better...

IntentInsane · Fri 02/04/2004 22:31:56

Zor, I understand your predicament. I too have this inexplicable love of low res games.

Phemar · Tue 06/04/2004 06:11:04

bumpity bumpity all the way 2 the top!

Rik_Vargard · Tue 06/04/2004 14:29:45

Hey, I look at your animation again in the first post here, and if you look good you'll see that the legs are leaving the ground going backwards!
When u walk, you lift your leg to go forward, right?
This one is walking... well backwards...

Try to reverse the animation. Instead of frame 1,2,3... try ...3,2,1.

Very nice work, I like your style. There is good use of lighting and you've concentrated on adding detail to everything. Although there are a few problems:

QuoteThe keyboard looks flat. Maybe if you add a light shade to the side of the keys?

The computer and the plug also look flat.

The wood behind the broken wall might be better with a darker shade.

The glass might be better if it's semi-transparent.

Aside from the graphics, I'm gonna try the game out later. Should be good.
