Hmm? the artwork strikes me of "my chemical romance" than jesus stuff.

The death of a hero cover.

First I must say I love the band logo here! And the cover is almost pro looking, but not quite there yet..

My issues are:

The mask doesn't sit comfortably on the background. I don't know what to suggest though.

The subtitle isn't very clear to see as it's blending in with the background a little bit.

I think the soldiers and the coffin should be more of a focus for the cover. Right now they're barely noticable.

If you hadn't told me there was a skeleton under the mask I wouldn't have known it was. I wouldn't know WHAT is was!

Also your gas mask thing reminds me of...


and..

and finally..


Hard to be original, isn't it?!

Years after I made an album called "unstable", Adema released an album called Unstable too! Curse them!

PS:
PPS:

There's a playable demo for it now, which is also the full content where you pay and unlock it. I saw it on Gamer's hell, so figured you lot would like to know. (If its been mentioned already ignore me)

Reminds me of..



With EGO and everything! 

EDIT: Ooh post number 1111!

I KNEW I should have got my mate Phil to do the graphics! Hahaha!

Yes I'd hope the reccommend your own game thing is there, as people might FORGET my game all together! (If anyone is gonna vote for it anyways)

They're right though! Having one letter red and the other black means the red one sticks out more. I didn't even see a D, a just saw the swoosh. Maybe if it was all one colour.

See, the people you asked already KNEW it was a p and a d, but we didn't so we failed to see it.

We are your friends and are just wanting to make sure your logo gets better! 

Woohoo! For the first (and maybe last???) time I can enter something into the awards!

(Not to rub it in, Nikolas!)

I've not bothered with getting it yet, and I also advised someone else not to get it! (Based on what they like)

But it does remind me of the most cutscene filled boring game I've ever had the misfortune to play. Xenosaga 2. First it came with a free DVD so I could catch up on the story of the non-europe released first one. A mind numbing three hours of pure cutscenes later I've caught up with the game. I play the game. Sorry, "play"? Ho ho ho. I WATCH the game, and play a bit inbetween the cutscenes. The game was also absurdly difficult, being the most difficult and unfair RPG I've ever played. I just wanted to rant. And incase you're thinking "I bet he just sucks at RPGs" let me say I completed FF9,10,11,1-2, shadow hearts 1 & 2, suikoden IV, dragon quest 8 etc etc without cheating. Yes, I HAD to cheat on Xenosaga if I was going to get anywhere and get my moneys worth. And even when I'd made everyone level 99 the bad guys STILL took ages to kill!!!!!!

Phew! Did anyone read that?

nihilyst: Thankyou!

Nacho: "I would have gone into something totally crazy, like faking a live performance with unflatable guitars."

Come on now, that would suck! Or as Kryten from Red Dwarf would say: "That is an excellent plan sir, but with two minor problems. One: We have no inflatable guitars, and two: We have no inflatable guitars. Now I know I said the same thing twice, but I thought it was a really important point to make!"

Nikolas: Ah yes, I'm so glad none of my newer material has been compared to NIN! Thanks for the behind the scenes info! Hehe!

petaglair: Maybe for my next video I should have blood, drugs and swearing in it for that Tarantino feeling!

EagerMind: Yeah haha, I've seen plenty of dodgy looking 80's/90's low budget videos where they just play on some dull backdrop and that's about it! It's like it's live, but it's not!

rharpe: Do you like electronic music? "But this 16 year old can sing:" You saying I can't sing buster? Hehe kidding kidding! I never claimed I could sing well, but I have certainly improved. *Checks out the link* Ah yes, well I would never like this kind of music, and I don't like his voice (He can sing don't get me wrong), so I guess it's really down to personal taste. And who designed his album artwork? In WORD? Oh man! Someone should help the dude out there!

That 1st doom screenshot actually reminded me of Gloom, for some reason.

Amiga Gloom:



Okay so that's actually Gloom 2, 'cos "moby games" are arseholes and won't let me link. So screw them.

Oh, accept it was the later edition where they put a gun on the screen.

I loved that game. It looks crap now, but it was glorious blowing the guards to chunks, intestines and brains flying about the place. Superb. Oh, it looked blocky even then..oh well.

(Sorry for off-topic)

Singlehandedly fought off a gang of ninjas

You stinking liar!  They were nuns!

Nuns in wheelchairs, I recall!

Hmm lets see now..

Had my heart broken.
Went from writing good music on a PS2 to writing crap music on a PC to writing good music on a PC.
Made an adventure game.
Lose count of how many times my name has appaeared in PSM3 magazine. (I'm in it almost every other issue now in some form or other!)
Start up a Jesus Jones MySpace profile. (With some of the band's blessing)
Be horrified to discover Chicago Town Pizza changed the recipe and made their delicious two in a box small pizzas just average and the base underneath now tastes stale when in the microwave. WHY MAN WHY!??!!!!!!!!!!??!!!!!!!
Learned how to make animated GIFs:
Learned how to use photoshop: (This man and mix, he's not me)

Federation? Romulans? (Oh sorry Rhomulians)

Star trek fan, are we? 

Hmm maybe I'll give it a whirl..

and you listen to Darth!

Yeah it was cool that I nicked those fools fuel!

Oh yeah, that reminds me, the scrapyard. I spent ages operating the machine, just crushing the dog, blocking the dog, all sorts, not really knowing WHAT I was doing right or wrong.

See that's what bugs me. You claimed they were greek and made sense, but as proven those names wouldn't have been in place around your time line.

If it's just artistic license and not fact, which you are so keen on saying it is, then I could happily accept it!

Style wise it's a bit like me making a game based in victorian times with a british hero called Pritesh. We do technically have british residents by that name, but in that timeline odds are strong there wouldn't have been. You get me?

But all this arguing has just been free publicity for you! If we had all said "good job" and that's it, this thread would have died ages ago. That's the way it is around here.. (Look at how many posts are in Neelhound's completed game thread.)

Wait wait, there really IS a character in this game called Victor? I was just joking 'cos it's latin and also the name of a member here. I didnt read the bit where it's a character in it...

EDIT: What is the name of this book?

It occurs to me that the name Victor for example, was latin in origin, but since then is used in other countries. (ie the british TV character 'Victor Meldrew')

So is this a MODERN book of greek names or what?

That background must have taken you ages to draw! 

Uhh I feel the need to mention where I got stuck!

DON'T read if you haven't finished the game!


When you first meet the biker mechanic lady and go on over to the caravan where you can tell something near, down below it is occuring. When I knocked on the door I had zero inclination that there was anyone behind the door. Infact I figured the door was not supposed to be opened at this point. Something like that, my memory aint too good.

Then there's where you need to climb a ladder and an alarm goes off. How would I know this game has a shadow to hide in when it's not that kind of game so far? It's like it's changing the game rules.

Oh, and when you go underground on your bike to get that ramp. Why would it occur to me to stop and get off when you have to? yeah the whole ramp idea is good but why would I do that when I wanted to take it with me? I didn't like this game's way of thinking I guess.

Will there be a character called Victor too? (Could not resist!)

Oddly, I kept getting stuck. But I didn't really like it. Story was okay, but I didn't like the puzzles and the bike sections, so the gameplay as a whole didn't appeal to me. I did play this game this year for the first time, with massively high expectations from every adventure game fan screaming how bloody brilliant it is; so that would have given me high hopes. I didn't like The Dig either.
