Resident Evil Quiz V1.0

"Put some effort into it."

date: July 19, 2007

So you made a quiz...ok, no big deal. But at least think before you create something.

For one, it is not that hard to draw straight rectangles but the most important part is. IT'S FUCKING HARD TO READ THE TEXT. Make it bigger and give it a better color.

"A beautiful work of art."

date: July 18, 2007

This is a well executed piece of artwork, as well as artistically as creatively. I love the way you drew it and themed it. Very nice job, please make more.

"Entertaining."

submission: wOne
date: May 27, 2006

Yesterday I played this game, but since it was late I didn't really
bother to give it any attention. Today on the other hand I played all of the levels, collected all of the stars and beat 'nightmare'.

Now your physics engine is pretty good, it controls the wheel like it should, altough I must say I would prefer some more friction. At some points it seems to be too bouncy, this is a realism thing but in the game it still works fine, as this encourages the player to control his speed and not to go far out with the cursor keys.

I would like to suggest one thing tough, a save option. I expected that when I would start again today my game from yesterday would had been saved, sadly this was not the case.

Graphics: For such a simple game, your graphics are fairly well made. Originality wise I would love to see different textures for different maps, if nightmare had a texture that would actually affect the physics that would had been great, but perhaps that's too much.
I also noted that the current texture is tiled, this does seem kinda annoying, especially when you zoom in and out, but I take it you did that for the sake of performance. The Exit door could be better looking, but oh well.

Style: I believe that simplicity is one of the most stylish things out there, the handling is great, the concept aswell. Thumbs up.

Sound: Perhaps a mp3 player would be cool, but that's not the fact. The sound fits pretty well according to the objects.

Violence: n/a

Interactivity: It's a game, it's a platformer, controls work fine, quick response. Perhaps more interactivity with objects would be cool, but hey, you can't have everything.

Humor: n/a

Average: (8+9+6+9)/4=32/4=8.

Conclusion: A nice and entertaining game, shortcomings are caused by the flash platform or they are there to increase performance. A great way to pass some time.

Keep it up!

Final Fantasy A+

"marbelous"

submission: Final Fantasy A+
date: April 29, 2004

Your graphical style is very impressing. It resembles the style of many Japanese cartoons such as Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh etc. The emotions you represent are like one on one with a professional movie. They bring feel and pleasure into the viewers eyes.

The sound is great, very clear. And the music you have choosen is good, because it gives this bit of feel into the movie, but it doesn't take all of your attention to itself. The SFX were great aswell. Very well chosen for this movie. Your voice actors were great. I even Managed to learn some Japanese! ([^_^])

I must give Style a 10, because the effort and professionality put into this animation is very rare. This is an animation with unknown caliber. I have seen maybe 1 or 2 flash animations that come near this.

even tough this movie wasn't that violent. I still give you a 7. The funny weapons and good battles were really good.

Humor. This movie is ALL humor. The weapons,characters,expresions and the idea itself are just plain out brilliant. I do not get how someo one can find this non amusing.

I think you have a great talent, and should continiue with this!

Goodluck in the future,

Akula

Sounds Of Thunder

"ACE!"

submission: Sounds Of Thunder
date: February 27, 2004

Very very well done. I didn't even read the subtitles seeing as i know russian. Next time make something happen in St. Petersburg. It's my birthtown.One thing though. The title of the movie should be "Gentile sounds of thunder". Please make some more of this. This is even better then "smoke kills". A lot of pation in this movie makes it very very well done. The sound was perfect. The storyline was well balanced out. Nothing that i can say is negative about this movie.

10/10-5/5

KOROSU- the black samurai

"Nice submission"

date: February 26, 2004

You have good frame by frame skills. The motion of the character makes the movie exciting. Altough your characters are a bit choppy drawn when compared to the backgrounds. Your voices could be a bit better. The intro(silver fade) doesn't fit. You must work on the smoothness of your character, because it seems as if the backgrounds and the characters were made by different individuals. Your characters lips follow a certain pattern. It's too noticable. I've read in the credits u used photoshop. I guess you only used it on your backgrounds. When making something finish it of. This is what costs you style points

Overall a good submission BUT:

-Work on the character(make it smoother)
-Work on the voices, they need to be a bit more clear.
-Work on your lipsincing.

7/10 - 3/5

"Ok...."

date: January 23, 2004

Well it wasn't that bad, but your FPS is low make it higher, then make the zoom out and zoom in sequences smoother, and the beginning is a bit crap, you just see the whole legion moving and not the soldiers themselves. Try to animate within a movieclip. For the rest the drawings aren't bad and....well a 3/5 from me.

Author's Response:

First of all, thanks for the graphics compliment. The FPS is low ? It just looks low, because unbelievably enough, it is set at 45 fps. I know, it just doesn't work, my flash program is weird !
I know about the legion thingy too, but I tried to sort that problem but I just couldn't ! So I had to go for that way because I couldn't find any other...
Animate within a movieclip ? I didn't know about that. I might do some tests.
Thanks a lot for the helpful review !!!

"So..."

date: January 17, 2004

Well it's not bad although your explination needs to be better. And for what is the pen tool?Comment's like don't use this aren't really helpfull. This is a bad concept though...there are many Tutorial movies on NG and on the web. If user is not willing to search for a tutorial heor she is most likely to make a bad flash, and not improve.
