I have a hard time decideing how my review will be and I'll have to replay it a couple of times - but with some days in between.

yeah, i know that it got tedious, i was actually expecting a few people to cheat like i did when i was testing and just use one box, but it was actually intended just to stretch game time a little.
Quote: "I think it was a pretty good game, it was the most touching story I've seen in a FPSC game, that's not saying much, but still, good job there. I also liked that it wasn't just a linear pipe, it had some exploring elements to it, but in the sewer map I think it was way overdone. It went from "Cool I'm exploring" lost to that "Damn this place is a maze!" lost, which is not good. But on a second playthrough it wasn't so bad, was actually able to find something.
"
thanks, i wanted it to be quite unique for an FPSC game.
also, that map i wanted to be a little like a maze to stretch the game time a bit more, i wanted the game not be one of them where it takes 5 minutes to play the whole way through.
Quote: "The humor was also good, especially liked the letter in the bar, telling they have to go outside if they want to do their business. The dildo weapon (did I just say that?) was kinda WTF funny, I actually made me laugh when I found it. It was great, but with the touching lost daughter story, it felt a bit out of place and made the game a lot less touching and epic as it could have been, if some of that fart humour and sex jokes were instead used for character development, so that the player could have felt more sorry for the father. But if you intented it to be like that then, well alright.
"
i wanted it to be quite funny, but i did not intended it to ruin the atmosphere of the story, goddamn. :L i shall remember to maybe make the humour a little more subtle and less like toilet humour to try and keep the atmosphere a bit more serious.
Quote: "The combat was quite fun, but in the bar fighting sequence, you could have given the player something to hide behind. Other than that, fighting against people was really fun. The monsters were okay. The ones in the sewer made me jump a bit, but other than that they didn't leave any kind of impression. It would have been cool if the dogs attacked you if you went too close or something, but I could even jump on them and they would just stay there and eat. I know it's not your fault, that's how the dogs are in the pack, but for this game it would have felt approppriate in my opinion. "
ah, i need to work on the AI for my games a bit more, i dont concentrate on the combat very much, just stock scripts and i test with much more health than i build with, i shall pay extra special attention to AI in future projects to make it better hopefully.
Quote: "The ending was good in my opinion, not gonna spoil that for people however, but good job on that. Then generic "game completed" screen happened. Maby an outro video or something? The ending could have been, again, more touching and epic than it now is, atm it's good. "
Thanks, I was gonna make an outro video but i wasnt quite sure where to get resources or what to put in it. i will remember to make the ending much better next time to give a more rounded story. Also, i got a bit bored of creating this towards the end so i just wanted it out of the way in the end. xD
Quote: "I liked it and would give it 7/10, it had alot of potential, but a lot of that potential, I felt, was left unused. I hope you take my criticism constructively, because I know you are able to do something great with FPSCreator.
"
thank you very much for all of them crits! thats probably one of the first times where ive seen a comment in my games that actually helps me genuinely. thank you so much!
I shall try to make a special effort on the points that you said, then maybe ill get myself into the BOTB titles.
Quote: "Copy any "you can do better AI, just try it" speech of mine I made in the past few years and insert it here.
I'll review this together with ohter showcase titles later

ahaha, ill be waiting mate. thanks
