Hello Uboachan, this is my new game, it's a survival, it's about Samanta, a rookie soldier trying to survive an invasion from a very superior race.
The story is a prequel of my first project, however this game is very different, here items are very important to survive and I managed to correct my errors from that project.
Here's a small beta with the general idea of the game, I need some opinions, thank you.

>>2427With full I meant the game being extended until the first ending, I posted a very small demo some time ago and they may think it's the same 0.00 file, maybe I should have used the word extended or revised.

>>2443Played it for a while the plot is pretty ass man. There's a severe lack of world building. Yes I understand it's a gaiden, but even then there's still substantial lack of world building. There's also craploads of spelling mistakes too. The graphics could use some tweaking as well. Unless you want to keep them simple I could give you a hand with character sprites. If you want to of course. There's also a bug in that home base world hub that lets me run up the face of a building. The gamemechanics are alright but the gameplay itself can be abysmal at times, the enemy AI is damn near unresponsive at times. Also the "boss" you encounter after downloading data from a computer has an extremely poor way of telegraphing his attacks. Poor telegraphing of attacks is just poor game design in general. It makes the player rely on rhythm instead of recognizing patterns and then applying what he recognizes to his attacks towards the enemy. The music is alright, a bit cliche but nothing too offensive.
Also during the sneaking mission something really bugged me. And that's the fact that the suppressor on the gun completely silences the gun. That's not how it works, even home made suppressors are still loud when compared to off the shelf ones you buy.
Link below is very related if you don't believe me, it's a video of a off the shelf suppressor versus an oil filter suppressor.

>>2446Well let's see.
>World buildingI'm guilty, still working on that
>Sprites and gameplayI wanted to maintain the sprites and art in general simple, however about the boss patterns I didn't want to make them intuitive, I want them to move in cold patters you dodge with rythm and timing, maybe I just double them for the next version.
>suppressor on the gun completely silences the gunThat's not true, but yes there's a problem with the volume of the "shoot", I forgot about that, I just have to increase the volume in relation of the music and other sounds, thanks I forgot completely.
Anyway you made some good points there, thanks for playing and testing, I'll make some changes based in your post.

>>2448>>I wanted to maintain the sprites and art in general simpleHave you seen Metal Gear Ghost Babel's sprites? I can easily make something like that for you. Well at least I think I can churn it out fast enough for you to implement.
>>however about the boss patterns I didn't want to make them intuitive, Well I didn't say anything about intuitive. I just said that they telegraph their patterns poorly.
>>I want them to move in cold patters you dodge with rythm and timingThat's fine and all but the problem is that you die in one hit in this game. If the character had a health bar it wouldn't be problematic since you count the time intervals between each hit. But as of right now it just comes off as cheap and relatively unpredictable. One way you can make the characters remain cold, but still have a pattern that players can pick up on is by having them unsheathe their weapon really quickly. It still requires them to time their moves and it's not like your generic flashing lights or heavy lifting seen in your common vidya. It's cliche, but so is the stereotypical ronin standoff style attacks you have them preform anyhow.
>>That's not trueMight as well be since the AI doesn't react to it, have her knife them instead, or tonfa baton them or something. If you want this game to be about survival and immersive you gotta make a few leaps and bounds for realism here.
Also making a few gifs today to back up my animating claims.

>That's fine and all but the problem is that you die in one hit in this game.mmm, you're right there, I actually made a lifebar (see pic), it was just a silly first test when I started, but now I think I'll include some system like that.
>knife,tonfa etcStealing this, thanks
>Have you seen Metal Gear Ghost Babel's sprites?Ah yes now I understand your point, I'm making lot's of changes in graphics so it might be a good idea, well, if you want you could give me an example of your authorship, you're giving me good material to work with and I'm curious. I'm planning to change graphics drastically in general for the next version. I want to make something similar to the old survivals, thank you for your suggestions, this is helping a lot.

They look pretty okay for a mock up right now. But if you're going to try to participate can you not saturate the thread with your progress? Link the pics on Tinypic or something from now on you know?

Bal, I really like the idea of a survival game, but sadly I haven't been able to give this a try yet due to a shitty Internet connection. How can I imagine the gameplay to be? Sort of a Demonophobia with lots of death, or more in the directions of Contra with lots of death?
Samantha looks really cute, too.

That way when I scale it down it's actually up to scale with the rest of the game.

Not going to, I'm not even Balthasar. What I want to do with his approval is make the animation more fluid. But to improve the animation I need Balthasar's sprites so I can scale down the test sprites I made. That's if he wants to give me a shot at it of course. The art style is okay, it's just that he got the perspective wrong on her forehead along with other characters who use the same pose.

Let's see…
>>2473Well it's an item-oriented survival game, for example to pass this area you have to use both a fire extinguisher and key card, sometimes you have to use other itmes to lock doors and sometimes choosing the wrong way leads to a unavoidable death, there's also the desition system, wich I'm planning to make with time limit.
This is the first version so I have to polish things a little, I need a better introduction to the situation, but it has the idea.
Sam smiles :J
>>2476Sure, I'll upload it.
>>2478All of this is beta discussion don't worry :j I'll analyze various options before changing her look, I'd probably end just polishing the actual sprite with better colors maybe.
