Shaka'r Temple [Full Game]

Take this post down...point made from people, but hey! It is okay :) I am ok with everyone, and please don't think of me any less...I am a decent game designer, I just like to test things out like other people, but I was just curious if it was an ok game. :) thanks everyone, and look forward to my new game

Shifter!

BTW - I already have most of my own custom graphics done for it, just working on tilesets and some charsets. :)
 
It's been up one day, dude. Don't expect to instantly get praised. :l Plus, your story is vague, and you talk more about the battles and how hard they are as well as the events in sequential order instead of actually telling the plotline. And I don't want to play a game that has a story "made up in 10 minutes." :down:

Yeah, thanks...just because a game is THOUGHT up in 10mins doesn't mean that the story is horrible...it took me almost 4 days to make, and I worked on it non-stop...couldn't you at least try it out? It isn't that bad....sheesh!
 
Read up on the forum rules kiddo. You need to wait 72 hours before bumping anything. You have TONS to work on, but far be it for me to go into it, I'll let others download it and give you feedback. I'm strongly urged to move this to Early Projects just so you can feedback and better your game. That being said I'm going to move this. If any other mods or admins feel that it shouldnt be moved, then please feel free to change it again.

Meh. I don't have anything against the default battle system, it's just...I'm not particularly fond of it. At least you have animated gradient bars. And yes, take out the apostrophes! It's okay in one or two names, but when everyone's name has an apostrophe, it's just annoying.
"Hey M'ike! I see you're with Je'niff'er."
"Yeah! Where's Jor'dan?"
See what I mean? It's just annoying. Just take them out and the names sound fine.
 
Yes, I understand about the apostrophes, but it was just to make the names unique, and it kind of went with the names...but, yeah, this isn't a game that is going to be improved, it was just so I can keep my skills fresh. Since I can't work on my main game right now...so yeah, thanks for the feedback though :) in case I do decide to continue it.
 
Hey, I have a question, if you want me to remake the game so that the names are better and the gameplay is longer, please tell me, and I will do it.
 
well if this project is just to keep your skills fresh then why do you want to be criticized on it. since its in early projects you want some advise but you arent even sure if your going to finish it, atleast that what i think you said. Seem like you should just take an idea and run with it and about half way ask what people think. like the forum rules say, this is for serious descousion on how to improve... since thats wha early projects is for i will do such...

Um, the story is realy short...to short for me, bu im picky about these things. um the character bios seem weird. To me they fill empty...
 
Heh, alright, thanks :) I will make sure to elaborate on the characters more in the new game I am making, and is going to be commercial.  It is called Shifter :)
 
Wait...it's going to be commercial? As in selling it for money? A new one, eh...well, just realize that making a game commercial is a BIG undertaking, larger than many realize...it takes pretty much nearly years of work, and I don't think you can use the RTP in it...correct me if I'm wrong though. Good luck if that's your decision, just try and realize that its a lot more work than meets the eye.

I have seen waaay too many games use apostrophes. I see Despain's point, there is only one name without the apostrophes.

The story is... bland? It's got no information? And right now I wouldn't pay 1 cent for this game - I don't even want do download it for free.

Going commercial is huge. I'm sorry you can just say "I'm gonna sell my game! :B" you have to put in a lot of time and effort and work, you can't borrow anything without paying them or getting strict permission... right now you don't look like you put any effort into this game. I'm sorry, you have to be incredibly serious if you want to THINK about going commercial. Trust me.

Anyway, the approximate play time? What a load of crap. It took me less then an hour to do it, and I'm slow at completing games :|
 
Alright, I just wanted to talk to you guys about a few things...well, first of all, you might want to know how to read when posting in the forums, and two, Shaka'r Temple was just to keep my skills fresh, trust me, I can make a better game. if someone can give me a storyline, I can make the game to their exact needs, I was just making a game that was fun to do. I shouldn't have even posted about this game...Wow! People, no confidence in anyone, just because you see a simple game that was made in THREE DAYS MORONS! Sheesh, let's see what you can do in three days! Make the world's best game in three days!

Also, about the commercial game, it is going to be called SHIFTER, this game is not my commercial game! WOW! READ THE POST!

"I will make sure to elaborate on the characters more in the new game I am making, and is going to be commercial.  It is called Shifter :)"

Eh? Bring back memories from the other posts? I said I will elaborate on the characters in the new game!

Sorry, but you guys make me mad because you don't fully read posts.

If you dont make a good plot overview, people won't play the game.  And if it's a just a game to brush up on your skills, why ask for critque?

Great way to take criticsm. If you know the game is bad, THEN DONT POST IT.
 
Updated the main post...

Heh :) you guys made a good point...I don't know why I posted it, maybe to see if it really was ok for being made in 3 days :) but hey, I don't mind, I am making another game that doesn't have any battles, and it is a puzzle game that I already have the plot set out for it, and I am working on the character bios.
