"Acutally..."

submission: Scorch :D

date: July 28, 2009

...this made perfect sense to me. It's...logical, somehow.

Great work on the faces. Anti really looked concerned, while all of scorch's expressions fit when used. The moment before she "jumps" seems just a tad longer than it needs to be. Not enough to take a point away, though.

On a side note, I did have Anti-bat 2.0 favorited, but switched it to this. Limited fave amount left, so I chose the animation that I prefered more. I mentioned this here in case you were alerted to this oddity.

I did look through your art gallery, but strangely didn't find much scorch as a kitty there. Any plans to remedy that? If not, that's okay. I just thought I'd ask.

"I see you finished it..."

submission: Kiaras Naruto Flash 4

date: July 12, 2009

...and put my name in the credits as well. Had I known that you would do that, I would have told you to use my other username, "Cerebreus" (since that account name is more associated with me than this one). That's my fault, so don't worry. Besides, seeing either name was a surprise for me.

I did find a few problems, unfortunately.
---On the loading screen, it looks like you drew a thumb where it shouldn't be. Check you left hand and compare it to the screen. I could be mistaken, though.(This isn't one of the problems; I was just listing it first since it is first).
---a subtitles error (it should be fret instead of afraid)
---a noticible skip during the Y.M.C.A. song. (not sure how to deal with it; let's talk about it)
---work on ending the songs at a good time, like IMMEDIATELY after a section or medley. The last note at the end of the german song seemed awkward. You should have cut that out (leave it be, if you wish. It's just a suggestion).
---certain things, like the drops of rain and the lines on the waterfall, look more like they're moving back and forth than moving. I have a suggestion that might help a bit that doesn't involve animating each piece separately. I'm not sure if it can be done (since I don't know what you're using), but it might be possible. Send me a note when you can.

The things I mentioned aren't enough to take away points, so that's why this gets the rating I gave it.

Great job on this.

"Criticism and suggestions..."

submission: Dark Cut 3

date: November 13, 2008

This is a great game, but I do find problems with it.

First off, I do have to agree with Skull-manner on some things. The game seems rather easy and there is little of the shock, realism, and tension of the first two games. Just so you know, by realism, I mean the details that make it seem real.

While I like the fact you didn't want to make the setting sterile and safe, it unfortunately does seem too easy and less tense.

Gameplay criticism:

1. I was a bit irked that I have to go to the armor games website to perform one surgery. I want to play the complete game here. I can understand leaving it out if it increased the file-size too much, but as of now it seems like it was promotion of the site. If you said why it was cut, I would appreciate it.

As of now, I have not completed the game because I have to go to armor games to play the whole thing.

2. In surgery two, the spot where you sedate the patient is not even on the patient's body.

3. I like the interface and hud of the game, but the cursor needs to be a different color or altered in some way to make it easier to keep track of. I had trouble telling if I was going over the right areas.

Try repositioning the cursor on the tools. If it was on the tip of the wipe, it would make things easier, as having it in the middle was awkward.

That's it for now. If I find other problems, is it alright if I send them to you in a PM, since I can't edit my review or write a new?

I do have suggestions of what games you can do next.

1. Maybe a caveman surgery game. I know the likelihood of such a thing is slim, but it would be interesting, methinks.

2. Three words: arcane bomb squad. Not the world of warcraft item, but rather bombs of a magical nature, each with a different effect. I got the idea from the ananachronists game, but I think the way it was done in the game could have been more. It's excellent for a surgery-type game. You could let players intentionally let the bombs go off to see the results (like a bomb that changes people into animalistic humans or changes the time period), maybe even having the results of "failure" affect the gameplay or setting.

I'd be willing to help you flesh out these ideas or help come up with new ones.

I know I shouldn't be promoting ideas like this, but I thought you might be interested in the ideas. Also, I'm hoping some one will read the ideas and make a game themselves. I'm more interested in seeing someone make those types of games than getting credit for the ideas (and the second one was from someone else).

Let me know if I can PM you about problems with your games or new ideas. If you do not want me to give ideas but talk to you about your games only, I shall try to comply.

I hope to hear from you soon. No matter what, I am glad you made these games. Even if you don't listen to me, I am thankful for the games you have made.

Thanks.

"In essence..."

submission: Courtesy of The RW&B

date: October 25, 2008

In essence, it's a music video.

I'll forgo the temptation to discuss politics, since I'm pretty sure you want to avoid that. That's stuff is for forums and private messages, not here.

Great video. Images worked well with the song. Although it appeared the characters had no facial expressions, the objects around them and the positioning of the body showed the emotion their faces did not. That's actually an approach I would like to see more of, whether intentional or not.

Great job on this.

"Great movie..."

submission: Don't Vote

date: October 24, 2008

This movie is quite good. While I don't like some of the things you said, I agree with them. The truth can be harsh, but it is still truth (though I still believe truth is relative).

This is like a great satire on things. And for those who don't know, a satire pokes fun at something in order to have it changed.

I am a bit saddened to see that you bashed Fox news and McCain, but not Obama as well. Now, I know you're the one deciding what to include and I have no objection to that. But I feel it lightly taints the movie. I would have loved to have seen you bash both sides because it would have just further cememnted your point. I think it would have improved this work of art you have here.

While fairness is one concern for me, it is overshadowed this time. I wanted this to bash both parties and their media supporters because it would have made this a greater satire on the whole voting for president issue if you said both parties aren't the right choice.

Great, great movie. I'm going to vote five on this. I stated my concerns above, but that doesn't take away from this being a great moive.

If you would like for us to share our views about politics, send me a PM. This video brought up good points, so I hope to expand my views on things by hearing other views.

Is that alright?

I hope this review has helped.

"I..."

submission: King of Air Guitar

date: October 23, 2008

I really enjoyed this game. The quality of everything is high.

That does create a problem, though. My computer sometimes can't keep up, so I do poorly because of lag.

I did not find an option for quality control. Could you make one?

When I first started the game, it seemed like there was a reason Azor was mentioned, like it played an important role in the game. I was disappointed to fin out it was just an ad and there was no real connection to the game.

If you're going to mention Azor, make it seem more relevant to the game. Like a story, or at least something that tells you to do something. "Be different, like Azor. " and make sure there are a variety of those so that they don't get old quick and so they appear to be less of an ad and more like they are making a point.

Just make the Azor relevant in some way.

I hope this helps.

"This..."

submission: Awesome Gaiden

date: October 17, 2008

This was quite good. I enjoyed it.

I was wondering about something, though.

You see, someone had done a flash asking "what if egoraptor did ninja gaiden?" before you actually posted this.

Doing a search doesn't turn it up, and I'm wondering if the artist removed it. I can't remember who it was, either. It was pretty good and I was wondring if you had happened to see it.

The artist doesn't know I'm doing this, but I think it might have been something you would have liked. It did an ingame parody instead of what you did here.

I'm not saying his was superior. Yours was great, too. I'm just sad to see it go, if it is gone.

Maybe you could encourage the artist to post it, seeing as it is more in line with your previous parodies than this one (more in-game)? Not sure how you would go about that, but it might be worth a shot.

I just hope people aren't afraid to do something you've already done. Imagine if people did Metal Gear Awesome with new jokes that stayed true to the spirit of the awesome series.

Something to think about, huh?

"Comments and Critique"

submission: Sniper Defense

date: October 15, 2008

Very well done. I do have a few suggestions and questions.

1. Include a pause feature. However, if you want to avoid having people use it to scan the area, have it be a full-screen pause, like the game over screen.

2. When I beat the game with "Techs", my score showed a lot of zeroes, such as missed shots and continues. I know I had/used those, so were zeroes the correct score? It wasn't really clear to me how the grading went. Could you explain it to me?

3. I'm not sure about this, but sometimes I think "Techs" overheated when I had one shot left. Again, I'm not sure, but you might want to check it out.

I do have suggestions for what to include in the sequel. If you're interested, tell me and I'll send you a PM.

Great job on this game. I was hard pressed to find targets for constructive criticism.

"Very good..."

submission: Wario Evolution of Dance

date: September 28, 2008

Very good stuff for what there is. I think there good have been more, but it's still good.

I think you should have labeled the songs and the estimated year of origin (might be hard with the chicken song) and do them in order from earliest to latest. Then it would be clear how it is the evolution of dance.

Might want to pick more notable songs for their dance routines, either replacing or adding to the original selection here. One example is MC Hammer's "Hammer Time" song.

Very creative idea. It can be expanded, and I hope it will be. It's alright if it won't be, but I would like to see it have the greater potential it is close to obtaining.

Did this help?

"Reasonings"

submission: Madness Awesome

date: September 23, 2008

I agree that this doesn't truly look like the Awesome style of drawings, but I imagine that is hard when it comes to the looks of Madness characters. Because of their design, it seems more difficult.

I think one problem you can fix is animating it. While the characters in the Awesome series look normal at times, there is often an exaggaration and distortion of the looks.

And besides, even if you are doing an Awesome tribute, you want to put your own touch on things. It's suppose to be a tribute, and tributes have the touch of their makers. I believe that is evident here

Also, I believe the content is accurate to a degree, but that content was mostly the Awesome-related humor. There was some shooting, but it wasn't true to Madness. Madness is about crazy action, so try to incorporate that next time.

Since this is for Madness Day 08, make the Madness content the priority, keeping the Awesome content at second place. Please note that I am talking about the themes and ideas, not the animation. For that, try to stay true to both, including the nuances of each.

Remember that for next time.

I did like it as a general submission because of the humor and ideas, but it doesn't seem like a true fit for madness.

However, the potential is there. You can do it. That I am sure of.

I hope this helps.
