Got 1 and 2 in my steam library, loved them!

Well, I think it's time to say we all give up!

I am a genius because i am indeed a genius.

The red planet? Or was it called something else? Or the sphere?

You killed the thread, murderer! Ha, i think if anyone here had played this game it would be an easy guess with the hud display alone..

Mite: We filmed them ourselves but you'll notice they are only at the start with music played only. The deer were where lots of people were so we couldnt film near them, sadly.

Chicky: Thanks! Thats great to hear that! For me this was a test of my acting skills. I wanted to find out if my acting was crap or not.

Yeah Mandle! I was thinking if i modded the costume somehow to make it more modern or superhero like.

It's just, in my experience with working with Snes consoles at work, they very rarely had faults, it was always down to the connectors on the games or inside the unit.

I'll take nearly epic!

Oh wow, you made a sprite of me/my character! I have saved this to my pc! I tried dubbing more of it, and I hated it. you're not the first one to say dub it, yeah the wind is a real bitch! It was filmed in Bradgate park, Leicester.

You are certainly making me think an Arkus game would be awesome!

Arkus: Forver Knight

Guys and gurls, I made a movie with a mate! The acting is terrible, the special effects, awful, the plot, full of holes. Am I selling it to you yet? Come see! I was very embarrassed walking around in public in a king/knight's outfit, but I did it!

Might sound patronising but.. are you aware the snes won't show anything unless a cartridge is inserted? And sometimes the carts get dusty and need "blowing".

Haha!

Why must I play a whole level, or even the whole part I'd already played through since pressing start, when I've proven I can get past those bits?

No, in the days of old, I very rarely finished a game. Nowadays I very rarely don't finish a game, and I am happy about that.

Indeed we did! Although it now sounds like a dodgy dubbed martial arts film. So two clips were just removed, and 1 vital scene is dubbed. But hey this film is probably hilariously bad. So cheesy it is, I even scored the soundtrack with early 80's synths for added effect.

I'll be sure to put the link when it's on youtube!

Thanks! I'll shall keep some of these things in mind should I do another film - I filmed it on sunday..

We did take a spare battery, and we did indeed need it! My friend said his camera is a lot better than mine, so we used his. It was a better camera, but it was an actual camera, whereas mine is a camcorder! We often looked like we'd greenscreened ourselves into the picture, how strange!

Yeah sound wasn't considered much, and the film has suffered as a result. My friend didn't actually have the shotgun mic either. He ordered it off the net, and it didn't arrive in time! It was very windy, and so some scenes it's almost impossible to make out what we are saying!

Thanks! That's gotta be the highest praise I've had for my game! I don't really hear all that much feedback about it.

Er, Jaws 2?

Not even sure I've seen Jaws 2,3, and 4.

I find if I get stuck on a puzzle and look up the solution and scream "I SEE!! I WAS SUPPOSED TO READ THE PROGRAMMER'S MINDS TO SOLVE THIS PUZZLE!! HOW STUPID OF ME!" Then each time I am stuck afterwards in that game, I will quickly look for a solution rather than persist. The same has happened where I've encountered a bug and then everytime I am stuck I'm thinking "Am I stuck because I haven't solved it, or because there's another bug stopping me?"

I do wonder if my Limbo game was too easy. My previous game Secrets had a few people stumped, and someone even made a walkthrough for it. Limbo, almost everyone sails through it, but at least they (presumably) enjoyed it and saw the whole game.

Hello! Er.. I don't remember you. Sorry! Maybe it was before I even came along, or maybe it was when I disappeared myself for a while.

I came along shortly after Mr Croshaw buggered off. I do like his zero punct. videos though. (See what I did there?)

ooh I like it, even if I use stickmen! Thanks!

I think I am very prepared, but just in case, I thought let's get some pointers from creative minds!

Me and a mate (plus someone who will be cameraman) are going to do a short film. It is purely for fun, and seeing what we are capable of. I have written a script, and I have been growing a beard for the past 2 weeks for my character, much to my girlfriend's displeasure! I have bought some props and even a costume! We have two cameras (though one is just back up) and a shotgun mic. Also an umbrella incase it rains to shield the camera, although I hope it doesn't rain, that will make continuity hard!

Anything glaringly obvious I haven't thought of? Anything when actually shooting is a good idea to do? For example I've realised I personally stop acting the second I think the scene is done, only to when it comes to the editing I could have done with some extra seconds to spare in that scene! Doh!

We're also gonna go the whole hog and burn a copy each to dvd for ourselves, complete with cover, and dvd extras on the disc! There's likely to be outtakes after all!

Here's two quick movie posters that were made in a matter of minutes. I did the lightning one, my mate did the castle/grass one.
