Less Than Three

Less Than Three

Less Than Three is no action game, it's not a heart-racing beat 'em up or a thrilling RPG, infact it's not a game at all; it's a 3 minute (Or more depending on your CPU) long scene of two sillouhetted people watching a sun set slowly.
Your eyes will pick up the subtle change in sky colour, the land darkening as night comes in and can you see the two people breathing slightly? The clouds moving along slowly?

Is this a joke? I honestly can't tell, you present the project thread in such a flippant way that it's impossible to take you seriously. This is not the sort of reaction you want to the way you present your thread.

I don't think that three of the same screenshot count for a project thread. The only real difference is the screen tone. I don't approve of viral marketing or whatever it is you call getting people to download a game just from lack of information, so I'd suggest you add some screenshots from the game itself within, say, 24 hours.

Lighten up (yes)
Download the game and you'll understand all.

that sucked.

Disappointment is a true emotion of the heart  :thumb:

 

[mawk]

no, really, that was awful. don't try to troll, you're really bad at it.

I just realised I don't know what troll actually means so after I've looked it up on the internet I'm going to give a big paragraph >: /

personally i dont see a problem!!!! it looks artsy and cute

I knew from the day I made a slightly funny project thread, that the most intelectually unadapted members would start trying to do the same. I hope I don't start seeing games that look like mine too, that's what sucks about being original.

Edit: I'm sorry, I don't mean to say people can't make funny project threads, or that I had the idea in the first place, but I'm just afraid people start feeling like copying my game.

About this one, well, the text is a bit confusing, I'll play the game and then I can replace this for some contructive criticism, alright?

Oh, no contructive criticism I guess, it's VX... And this is how I made a fool of myself once again. #$"%#

Who are you?

Look up "Slapz" and "Big Puncher II" and "Battle World RPG" and "Grand Theft Pirate" and "RMXP Multiplayer Pong". I made those a while ago now, Battle World RPG since summer 2003, Grand Theft Pirate was 2006, RMXP Pong was 2007 and Slapz, Big Puncher II a few months ago.

Clearly you were the inspiration behind my projects...Who ever you are.

For the record, I edited my last post before you posted that one out, ok? Don't get angry, man, there's no reason in the world to get angry about an RPG Maker game (ok, there can be some reasons... or not... i don't know).

I wasn't angry i was laughing. Sorry for removing your sense of originality. "Odd" games are my thing.

If this is actually a sincere effort at a game, then I'm gonna ask you to change the first post to reflect the content. The only thing that the current thread accomplishes is annoying whoever plays it. It's fine that you want to release a three-minute game that consists entirely of a picture-evented sunset, but don't try to be clever and pass it off as something else.

It's hardly a game, but I just watched it entirely through myself and it felt artistic after watching it all the way through in it's silence. I will change the first post, it's better than I thought it was.

I don't really get how this qualifies as a "game", it's more of a movie if you can even call it that. I don't think an event-based sunset is worth making a whole topic about, especially when the first post is not funny at all.

I mean, maybe if you made like a big panorama or something, made the sun set faster, make it more artistic, it'd be better, but still not really a game.

All said just after I editted the first post! It's no game, it's an artistic scene in RMVX. Yes, it is eventted with one MASSIVE event, it helped me work out how to efficiently event full motion animated cutscenes.

It is a 544x416 panorama with the sun setting at 1px every 2 seconds (depending on your CPU), the sky changes tint at every 10-11 pixels and the scene darkens at 8 points per second, the ending text fades in softly in under a second at 8 points in a frame, your eyes do see it but it seems instant. Very strange.

Well, I can't watch it because it's for VX, and I only have XP, but...judgeing by the description, I'd say good job. It's definantly unique. Keep up the good work dude.  :thumb:

And I personally think it would be cool If you made something like this, but a cartoon kinda show, where each episode is like 15 minutes or something. That'd be cool, expecially since I don't think anybody else has done that. Not sure though...

good job at making a single event with poorly done graphics? idk :/

I'm using the event logic I made for this in my secret project just for full motion animated scenes (Like from an anime or something!)

good job at making a single event with poorly done graphics? idk :/

It's a single event doing multiple things at once, even with the linear variable equations it still does multiple things at once.

It's not poorly done graphics, it's just a graphic style that you haven't discovered yet.
