Go to this site to see my game, Dragonslash.
Dragonslash was made with only images from paint.
I hope you enjoy this game. Please leave you comments.

Nikolas

I don't see nothing in the site mate. sorry

BTW, anyone knows what this game is about? Virus, Spyware? porn? ordinary game about spies? spiders? terros? humour? anything else?

Get the idea ;) I would like to know what I'm entering before I start downloading. Even if it's free (which we all appreciate in this community) we need to know some more info.

Hope to get that info soon.

neelhound

when you go to the site, http://neeldragonz.bizhat.com/, click on 'Da site' and you will get something with a dog picture on it. Click on the 'Dragonslash' link.

neelhound

The game is about a quest to find great dragon jewels. I rate it PG or 12A at the most.

Scummbuddy

A) first of all, put the title of the game in this threads subject title.

B) Sell us your game. I'm not talking about money. I'm talking about conveying to us your idea; your game. Why should we want to play it? Post us some screenshots.

This thread should read like the back of a fictional box art for this game, if it were to be actually sold in stores.

Follow this thread as an example:
http://americangirlscouts.org/bbc.com/yabb/index.php?topic=21333.0

Doing so will help out you and your game immensely. I already know I'm not going to download your game when I know nothing about it, nor anything about you.

Hi its neelhound here. I have got  a new game for u 2 play. Its called Dragonslash. It was made with Images from Paint only, which gives it its speciality. Want an adventure with a mystery twist? Here you have it. Work for the wizard, bump into a dragon and a madman, pick up a fight with a gang and help solve a mystery…There are no obsene images in this game, and no bugs or viruses. Try it out. Go to http://neeldragonz.bizhat.com/, then click on 'DA SITE' . You will see some screenshots there. Please leave your comments.

ManicMatt

*slaps his forehead*

Are you not listening to their advice?

Having the images made in paint? Wow, that's totally unheard of!   ::)

I clicked on your link "DA SITE" and I was asked if I wish to download something.

thewalrus

     Really, you need to read the forum rules.... And then post about your game correctly! I'm not downloading something I know nothing about!
Thewalrus

Goo, goo, ga, joob!!!

ManicMatt

Erm.. that won't work, we can't see pictures on your hard drive. You need to upload them to the internet first, like with photobucket. (Google it)

Also, I don't know what the second file is, but in one of your attempts you linked to the .exe. file, which is a program, not a picture.

Please note, you can MODIFY your previous posts, so if you make a mistake, you can rectify it. (And double posting is frowned upon)

As ManicMatt said; it is not possible for us to reach the files that are in your harddrive.

If you want us to see them; then you have to UPLOAD them (you know what 'upload' means, do you?).

Edit: I give up, too.
Games are art!

Nikolas

I actually tried the file in that server.

Have no idea what format it is , and nor does Windows XP. :-/

I think that this game is even shorter than the masterpiece "Are we there yet?", or the "I want to take a pie"... I might even vote for the game on the awards later on... ;)

Hammeryte

i have reason to believe that .wps is some sort of word processed file.
i'm not sure at all though.

blah

I suggest to lock this threat

jetxl

It's a Microsoft Works® text document with a picture of gray hound dogs and a link to a C:\ drive. So it only works for the guy who made the game (which is Dragonslash by Prashant Mahendran).

Man, this thread has been a good piece of laugh for me ;D.

A good way to start a day work.

Oh man! I'm beginning to think this game really IS made from images of paint, AND NOTHING ELSE!

Well Prashant, if hiring a hacker to access your hard drive and getting the files (And then deleting them all if my hacker is evil) then so be it! There's a point there somewhere, and that is to be glad we can't access your hard drive, for people would do harm to it.

neelhound

ok now the file is uploading....
....
....
....
....
....
still uploading

neelhound

And I cant get my screenshot on a post...

neelhound

Ok I have got a new site, I have uploaded the file. Try it now please, and leave you comments.Screenshots are on the site.

His erm.. screenshots.

neelhound

So did the game work???

Tuomas

I think the expression in Matt's avatar tells it all :)

SSH

Prashant,

1. You left debug mode on
2. That walkcycle is up there with yodaman's!
3. I can talk to the guy with the blue spotty robe who says to collect jewels, but I can't leave the room...
4. Given the graphic quality, why is it necessary to use 800x600 resolution?

TerranRich

Man, this ranks right up there with that "Phyco" (sic) game, what was it... "Trapped With Hell" or something? That was classic. Where is that thread?
Status: Trying to come up with some ideas...

ManicMatt

SSH, "walk" to the furthest left of the first screen to go into the next room. What, how could you not know? Ah right, there was no indication to the player. Perhaps a door or an arrow or something Prashant?

The speech can't be skipped, which is annoying as I am a fast reader, so I'm left waiting for the speech to skip itself.

I got as far as finding a key that will inevitably unlock that locked door, but my interest wained.

neelhound

fine, fine, its not THAT great or anything,

neelhound

ok- just so you know.
Name:Prashant
Age:13
not a computer technician or anything
first game
So now i am gonna start a new post which is proper and explains well.

neelhound

Hello this is Prashant here, with the new game Dragonslash. This game was made by Prashant using the ags game engine, and paint images.  :o WHAT THE HELL! you would be thinking, HOW STUPID , THERES NOTHING HERE THAT MAKES ME WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME!

Ahhh, you see, if you get it, get 'immersed' in the game. Get juiced up by the colour.  Find the real adventure in it. Find the mystery...Get into the game! The game- the introduction to the world of Dragonslash, its merely the begginning,  :o becomes :-\ then  :)

How was my game?
I tried a bit of your game, but I don't know which background I go to after 13, I tried 14, i will try 12 next. But i like the drawings!

neelhound

i tried to understand the fr4ench, that was alright, but i didnt know how to get ot of the room with the guy in the car. ;D

Please, try to edit your older post as opposed to double posting, especially when they're just a few minutes apart.

Moreover, you may edit the subject of the first post of this thread to include the name of your game, not just " My game is here." :P

neelhound

new advertisement

note:I changed it to less resolution, and the character walks a lot faster.Thanks for the comments.

A little splash of colour in this huge world of adventure mixed together with a mystery!
DRAGONSLASH

The new ags engine game by neelhound.



You can adventure around, then get captured by a dragon. You can venture through the city, and even go to the mall. You can go to the destroyed bank, and take up a job handing out fliers in a village. But in the village you will meet a ghost, and a troubled woman with a mystery for you to solve.

come on...

Well, here's the problem... that's not going to happen. Ã, I know that everyone has come off as harsh, but in honesty, they speak wisdom. Ã, Don't take any of this personally.

You're excited about the world that you've created. Ã, That much is obvious. Ã, Your excitement isn't enough to sell the idea to us, though. Ã, You speak of Paint graphics as if the idea is revolutionary; as if it's your selling point. Ã, Well, the brutal truth is that it's hardly that.

Paint is the program that people whip out when they want to crank out a picture of something without investing anything in it. Ã, See the MSPaint game in the Competitions forum... it says it all.

Nothing about this game matches your enthusiasm here on the forum. Ã, That main character should be the link between us and the world, but the truth is that it's just too generic and uninspired design-wise to make us care about how many dragon jewels we can find. Ã, I realize that character design is not easy, but tell the truth... did you spend more than ten minutes on that drawing and the walk cycle combined?

Rushing your ideas out of your head past your hands so quickly will not do them any service. Ã, I'm sorry... that's just how it is.


Khris

People take time to give you valuable criticism and you respond with "whatever :D"?

And: there's a link called "Modify" in the top right of your every post, use it.
Don't clutter up your own thread with the same generic description of the game, modify the initial post.

skyfire2

I think this game is a awesome idea. You must be the first person to think of using ms paint images. OMG! LOL! I can't wait to download it!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

neelhound

1:Saying 'whatever' dosnt mean that I didnt read and take in the comments. I actually did and I changed it. I said whatever as to say 'ok', instead of starting an argument.
2:thanks Skyfire1, try out the game and leave your comments. If it gets boring, tell me, i wont get offended.

Candall

Dude.  Not that I'm offended... I'm not...

But "whatever" means "please assume that I have discarded your words entirely," not "Okay."

You're not going to start an argument with me; of that I can assure you.  If you have a problem with anything I said, tell me.  We can discuss things rationally.

ManicMatt

Come on Skyfire, it's just broken english!

Translation:

Today is not the day you change this good, and old, irritating world.

EDIT: I believe saying "Meh" on the internet is just like saying "whatever".

Theeph

Heh. This is amusing.

A segue however: in America "whatever" is something of an insult I am told. In Australia, and possibly places elsewhere it means a kind of passive, go-with-the-flow type remark like neelhound intended.

There. Resume humour....... now!

Buckethead

I kinda wonder how you were adable to make this game in the first place... if you couldn't even understand how to post an image.  :-\

To Manicmatt:

Oh god! my english broken!

how could i go on now?

thanx to point this out, i should now fix it before posting again....Otherwise i will get scolded.

I got kinda busted on the forum some years ago for being a faker, some said that my english was too perfect for a french person, and consequently i would have lied about everything i had been saying.

Now, you know i'm french for real. And this is not today when it will change!


But about the whatever thing. Even with my broken english, i got the feeling Neelhound's "whatever" is not misused and not to be upset about.

ManicMatt

Don't take offence when i said that, your english is good, but it was just that the words weren't in a natural order, which confused Skyfire. (I don't know how though)

I used to be able to order drinks and meals in french, from learning it at school, but I've been to France about twice since then and have lost the words.. I think some of it is still in my head somewhere.. whenever I hear french things ring a bell but they're distant.

umm....what an odd branch of off-topic discussion.

Well, AGS *is* famous for its ease of use.
Something tells me AGS is a little too easy to use. CJ should probably make it a little harder to use so 11 year olds will think twice before pimping "paint images."

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires

And thus discouraging all those people that need to muck around before they go on to making great games? People need to learn the ropes, skyfire.

I haven't said anything about this game so far because it's so obviously a first game. I don't think much of neelhound's behaviour on this thread, especially the first page, but as a game maker I can't judge him by his very first game. Everyone has made crappy first games. Some people get excited and post them and get criticism that helps them move on to greatness. Some just squirrel it away and learn for themselves. Either way is good.

I have no qualm at all with "11 year old pimping paint images", as you put it, regardless of whether that is the case here or not. Let's face this, this whole board and this whole site is like a big artist's studio. People come in, people try things out, people finish their works. Some are great, some are crappy, some people give up soon and some keep on going until they achieve greatness, some come with greatness and leave with nothing... it's just the way it is. And first games, like first paintings and first novels and first sculptures and whatever, are bound not to be as good. But HEAVEN FORBID the artist be daunted by the tools. Heaven forbid.

Anyway, neelhound said he's made the player character walk faster. See? He's already learned something important. That's the whole point of first games.

to manicmatt:

no offense taken. It was just funny to read "broken english" as if my english got actually broken by accident at this particular moment. Small things can make ma laugh as a non-english-speaking person.

Anyway i fixed my english with glue and now it should be ok for some days hopefully.

voh

I don't have to enjoy a game to know it's important that somebody spent the time on it and probably learnt from it. Skyfire's comment is typical, since he'll say anything to see another flame war come to fruition, but it inherently wrong.

Congrats on your first game, neelhound! May you make more and may they improve with each and every single one of them :)
Still here.

Nikolas

Last time I hear,d skyfire was "banned" (although I know that CJ is against banning and all that... dunno what's true...). Either way skyfire hasn't shown up for days! Let's try to forget about this "kid"...

I'm pretty sure that I posted inthis thread about the game... :)

lo_res_man

Well I congratulate him on making a game, and hope his work improves. :D
