Why do people keep writing menu's first anyway *_* I mean each to their own and all.. but I find it counter-productive unless you have a switch to disable the menu system. The menu doesnt effect the game engine at all and its just one more thing to go through when you run the game to test changes.. imho menu = the last item on the "to do" list when it comes to programming ;

People start menus first so then can then as fast as thier mouse takes them, go to the forums and "Announce" their new game like they are Sony or Nintendo or something.

Most of them don't post the menu screenshots until after the flaming. I wouldn't be surprised if the menus are just some images quickly pasted together in an image editor just so they can show something. With most of these projects they proberbly don't even bother creating a dbpro project before posting.

WARNING WARNING WARNING
Please for the love of god dont do this, dont say its gonna be a mmorpg not just because its very hard and pretty suicidal for most user's online careers on this forum....but more that you have already stated in another post that you have finished 10 mmorpg's and one you did in 3 days...
somehow this was overlooked and you have survived but dont go ruin it now with this "im going to make a mmorpg" rubbish.
Please if you dont want your project to be seen yet, dont post a WIP about it...it only annoys people.

Good Luck / Rest in Peace

GogetaX > A menu screen isn't enough. It's just a render of a model (which the majority of ISN'T yours) on a grey background.

But guys, MMORPG's made by amateur game developers are ALWAYS successfull!

Actualy, a menu is a horrible start for a project. If it's 2D, you can't proove it ain't a paint program, and need I mention Driver?

If you can't show pics without giving away your game, and refuse to tell us any updates, just drop the secracy cause secrets only work for a while when you leak out information. When you just plain refuse to give any hints at anything cool, you get flamed and forever lose creditability.

I think you are far from the point, would you say this is valid?

The Downward Spiral (this is my interpretation of this thread, I will not be really using those models):

I am creating a game here is a model of the guy. what do ya think

oh and I made a menu

I can\'t really say what its about




I don\'t mean to sound like that I am mocking you, I\'m just drawing a perspective, you see no one would yet be interested because I haven\'t said anything on the plot or ingame screenshots

Okay I agree good projects can start with a menu (otherwise I\'d be saying The Downward Spiral will be crap lol) but that thread link you posted I\'m sure said to post ingame screenshots, well all I see is a Poser render and a menu screenshot. Unfortunately you should not post a WIP when it is hardly touched (or seems to be hardly touched) otherwise its pointless because
a- You\'ll get flamed
b- People won\'t be interested
c- People get annoyed (hence point a)


as that thread said (i think) a project at work is a work in progress but you should only post when it gets peoples interest.

Now if you had made those models yourself, it would count as a work in progress because you are showing you have done something interesting (because people will gasp and say wow this project will look great)

So I advise you again to post a good screenshot so that the nice (and not so nice) people can see what you showcase for them or they\'ll end up flaming by using hurtful words like Lame (I think someone used that one already or am I thinking of another thread)

Finally I\'d like to say sorry if I am sounding like a nagging old bat, and I\'ll hit myself if I am

No, I read what you said. But the mods obviously agree with the poster of that thread, and not you, or they wouldn't have stickied that thread. Yes technically the work is in progress, but that doesn't mean you need to start a pointless thread about it. How is this hard to understand?

Since you haven't posted a screenshot of the actual game yet, I threw one together for you in an art program using images I found online.

well..it seems to be working here...the best way to show this person that a menu isn't enough is to completely ignore them

instead it looks like everybody in the community just has to come in and repeat what's already been said to boost their ego

its had had more threads than ronin, and doesn't show anything relevant and sounds like to me that Gogeta doesn't get the idea.

I feel like I'm repeating myself to get heard by GogetaX
So I'll highlight what I need to say

POST SOMESCREENSHOTS BEFORE THIS GETS LOCKED OR FLAMING SO THAT WE ALL CAN GET ALONG AND NO ONE WILL FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT AFTER THIS OTHERWISE PEOPLE WILL GET ANNOYED BECAUSE THIS ISN'T A PROPER W.I.P POST, THATS WHEN PEOPLE WILL START HATING YOU BECAUSE OF IGNORANCE TO MAKE THIS A PROPER WIP POST, WHICH IS ANNOYING BECAUSE IT SHOULD BE LOCKED, ANY OTHER INFO ON WHAT I THINK ABOUT THIS SEE MY OTHER POSTS ON THIS THREAD

I hope that works

that wasn't too hard lol, now no one should get annoyed and it shouldn't get locked, but for future referance, I would post the ingame screenies first.

(wow a little emphasis on what I say gets something sorted cool lol)


The project looks like its got an interesting start to it and good luck with it

Some people were born immune to sarcasm...

To put it bluntly, this is too little too late.

EDIT: I should have prob gone into a little more detail. Even if you do post something of completed quality, this thread is too far plagued with flames for you to get any real feedback. My suggestion: Retire to your PC for a few weeks, work work work, then return and start a new thread with screenshots and a *clear* description.

I will now crit the screenie you posted.

Ok Well I see...a black background. There seems to be some kind of brown, texture repeating, road leading into the distance...
There's a peice of mesh of what looks like once was an orange rock. The rock looks more like a tortilla.
On the side are a few numbers too little to read. Perhaps it's a small in-game storyline??? Who knows. That concludes my review.

Total score: 19%
The good: The awsome black background
The bad: The rock and...meh.

Final word: The rock gave me a rush.

EDIT: I have just been informed that the Tortilla is indeed a hut. I apoligize and rasie the overall score by 10%. Thank you.

@Mega well we got what we ask for even if it is late, the tortilla is a roof to a hut, by the sounds of things your gamma on your pc/moniter is lower than most peoples otherwise u'd see the house and the background is not black, its a wall lol

Anyways, it doesn't look too far in development yet, but at least we got what we asked for. Ronin's first screenshots was the engine and showed hardly anything, and I let people download an old demo of the engine (which had a terrible collision system, which was complained about) and well no one has had any problems with it.

I think you're a little annoyed with GogetaX because he/she showed
a display you'd expect from a newbie with a lot of persistance in it and did not understand the point and he/she ignored most posts about what he/she could do to stop flaming him/her.

And well lets just see what he/she has to show us once he/she has done more before we do reviews (you can't exactly review an engine unless you actually test it yourself.

Quote: "Final word: The rock gave me a rush."


I thought you were considering those immune to sarcasm lol




[EDIT] At bizar guy, wow the game looks interesting, to think you were about to make a game in an art program, you must be really skilled lol!

GogetaX: Thanks for posting a screenshot, it looks like it will develop into a cool game when your done.

I wasn't joking there. I unlike some others here, have the ability to see where potential lies in something, not just the obvious faults that look very temporary. I can only hope that your game will end up in the direction it looks like you're going.

Quote: "bizar guy, wow the game looks interesting, to think you were about to make a game in an art program, you must be really skilled lol!"

That was just a pic of a Final Fantasy I found online with some edited shots of the posers GogetaX showed put in... I had no intention of making more, I was just getting fed up with no real progress. Besides, all my current project are on hold while I work on a game for ther puzzle compo.

looks nice...the only problems are that the ground and wall textures that you are using look very bad tiled....i suggset finding/making a texture that looks better when it's tiled

I'd use photoshop(or something similar) to do you own and just use the noise or mosaic(for walls) features to texture, they always tile better
