Need a second or third opinion about your game?

Not making enough sales but your friends tell you your game is the best.
Post a video or something here and i'll tell you what they won't say.

    People in this forum tend to be a bit too nice. My friends can be kinda harsh, but from what I see around here, every comment is posistive XD

    I'll keep this topic in mind once my trailer is ready :)

    Hit me with it, I want the cruel honest truth...

    i.e. it's just a game where you draw shapes, give up...

    .. excellent thread idea...

    I think it's a good idea, as long as this doesn't happen:

    stick figure Pictures, Images and Photos

    "Awesome!"

    Edit: explanation if you don't get what I'm on about: more than a few times in the past I've seen sub-standard - or even quite good graphics/games described as awesome. Always leaves me wondering what they call the real awesome games...

    Hey Brian ... looks like a lot of people think it's a good idea .... perhaps you should have said 'I have a friend that would more than happy to tell you like he sees it' ... ;D that way you can keep your friendly rep intact! Perhaps 'he' is OzBoyGordan' ....

    I can see the pseudo conversation now:

    ozBoyBrian: 'I like the green background, and the character has a nice personality'
    ozBoyGordan: 'What .. you're crazy mate ... green looks like puke .... and the character looks like poop .... $2.99 %#$*** you got to be joking!'

    "TO" nice? "TO" nice?!!! Learn english you idiot!

    This is the part of the forum where we berate each other, right?

    Haha

    It's true though. Peeps on this forum seem to be easily impressed or they just want to be polite and say 'yeah, looking great!' when they don't actually think that.

    C'mon then Brian, become the forum voice of reason and tell the devs above what no one else will around here...!

    I hardly dare saying this without being told that I'm not daring to say it... but I find that graphic SO cool! I want a t-shirt with that angry fish on it! And big letters saying BITE ME.

    No, really, I'm not just saying that. It's one cool mean looking fish!

    :thumbsup:

    The only thing that i would change what i've seen so far is the four big arrows taking up most of the screen and swap them with a joystick which is less screen consuming.

    Thank you, I have made T-shirts with the Yellow fish, but just now I changed the game icon, the Red fish is more sexy! :-)

    When my first game comes out I'll reserve a promo code for you... but you better be true to your word! After your review I want to be able to call you Captain DreamCrusher :)

    That is indeed the red fish I was talking about ha ha Love it !!!

    .... hmm and yes, perhaps I missed the point in this thread - but then again, I get easily impressed when people create something by themselves. Just the fact that they make an effort (we all know how much work it is) - is great! And practice makes better :)

    Keep on the good work, folks.

    The problem I see is that this forum is pretty 'open'. When I google my apps names I see this forum pop up.
    Since I noticed this I am more aware of what I write.

    I also have seen sone good critique here. I got some too. But still a nice idea. (oops now IAm being nice)

    hi all,

    this is the link to my first game.. a icopter clone


    As the topic says, need honest feedback :) about the graphics, gameplay..any suggestions or additions that you guys think are required.
    can it be released as a free game?
    Plz suggest a name too.
    P.S the fish are courtesy of darren.

    @carloz

    Needs a consistent art style. Death animations. Better typography.
  • carlozcarloz Member Posts: 112
    thnx, ill do those animations, and fix the typo.
    you lost me on the consistent art style, plz elaborate
  • Metronome49Metronome49 Member Posts: 297
    Well, you have cartoon characters and photo-realistic environment. So, I guess it's like Space Jam... I think it should be a cartoon environment, but the cartoon characters need to at least look like they're underwater, not just on top of an underwater picture.
  • carlozcarloz Member Posts: 112
    thank u. point taken. ill do the necessary changes and repost.
