Well again.....

Please tell my if im wrong about this:

The two cars(The sprites) is from Game Maker. So you made this one in Game Maker or darkbasic? I just wanna know!


Well the game sounds quite fun! But if it's made in Game Maker.. It would be easier to make it in db since making AI in Game Maker is quite hard

if it's jpeg why is it a .tif? tagged image format is not a jpeg, tif is a bitmap format so it doesn't blur like jpeg, if it is a .jpeg
anyway, looks good except the car is off the screen, it would be nice to see some ingame shots.

This is made in DBP, I just used two of the car sprites from the res-pack. And making AI in GM acctually is really easy!

The image in my post is a jpeg, the one with the download button is a tif.

Yes, I got the resource pack off that website. It was meant for GameMaker but I'm using it differently.

Nope, I have that one but I got it for the models. We're talking about the one here.

Some suggestions:


On the title page, get rid of the two over-lapping lines from the two boxes for the "by:..." and the menu options.

Looks good, but I'd try to make your own media. Maybe get the outline of the cars in photoshop or whatever and texture it yourself.

@Megaton - Those comments were completely unjustifiable. One more remark like that and I will newbie slap you

@Squids - Can you go more into detail about what the gameplay is, for those of us who haven't played the original?

@JeKu - Ok,
ORIGINAL
In the original game, you were under cover robbing different places, if the police cought you running into a car they would chase after you and try to run into you. Also, whenever you ran into something, your damage meter would go up, the more the police run into you, the higher you damage meter goes up. After robbing somewhere, the police ALWAYS chase after you.
MY VERSION
I am re-making the really old game Driver. In this version you will drive around in a closed cement area with tho police chasing you. You see who can stay alive the longest without being hit! I might add online score posting.

Let is go Megaton; he may of stolen or whatever in the past (I dont actually know anything about this) but he's trying to be productive now, so let him have his chance. That is all.

Good luck with the game Squid (....'s revenge)

if the insults keep flying someones going to get a thread locked and others will get a temp ban.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself

Um.. take it as both and stop making insults whether they were directed at you or not.. you should have a level of maturity and respect to not insult them back.

Yeah, I don't see how its steeling media when I downloaded it from a free resource pack though. But still, I am gonna change it.
Thanks,

Hi Squid

I just wanted to encourage you on this game you are making. To those people who are bagging you, don't worry about them. your game is in early stages so don't worry about it.

When its finished you'll show 'em!

I mean if I made a GameMaker title screen with stolen graphics and posted it on the forum claiming it was DBP, the mods and users would be having serious cases of roid rage at me.

No they aren't, are you saying you want people to behave in a more negative way towards each other. I certainly don't

It's pretty simple really, if you're annoyed that there's no progress in this thread then don't post in it. Then you'll know that the only time it re-appears at the top of the board is because Squids Revenge has got something to say. Simple really.

Wow its surprising to hear an englishman say that

I think people here are too nice. A simple title screen doesn't take any time to make, and it shows no effort at all. What I'm amazed at, is this thread hasn't been locked, dispite the lack of real screenshots. I don't call a title screen progress, because its something that can be done in 5 minutes.

You did not understand me the slightest bit.

NO. I don't want people to behave negativly. I only want the damn truth for god's sake. If a guy shows a half-assed effort you tell him what's on your mind and what you think of it instead of giving the lame "Keep up the good work, atleast he's trying"

This has nothing to do with being rude. If I were to post work on the forums, and not really sure what people are going to think of it, I would in the very least expect honest feedback. If I post a screenshot that a user believes to be in-complete then I would appriciate him saying
"Buddy, a rotating grey cube isn't good enough. "

I realize people have thier own strengths and weaknesess. Some people can code around bullets, others can crank out wicked art. Showcase your strenghths whether it's a short demo or a 3d model/level or heck, even a completed Design Document. This isn't meant to take shots at newbies, just a wakeup call.

EDIT:
Other the years people seemed to have lost the meaning of "Work In Progress". I remember long ago users would post DBC games in the WIP forum featuring a level, models and early gameplay. Often included demos too. Nowadays a WIP qualifys as 3 sentences about the game, a title screen, and maybe a team request.

Squid - maybe you should change the names of the media so they are significantly different and you don't get them mixed up, because if you have them to similar it can make it easier for yourself.

@ Megaton - i agree that people should be more honest on these forums - but telling them that they SUCK (and i quote) is not the way to do it. Try being more positive. If someone does something wrong you should give them some advice to improve, instead of kicking them in the teeth when they are down.

If i got this kind of feedback when i was a newbie coder i would have quit coding altogether, people really don't need this kind of support (If you can even call it that.)

Ok, I'll try that. I think 3D is easier... 2D is just confusing...
The only part I don't like about 3D is positioning the objects...

Again, I am not rude like that to everyone. Squid is just an exeption becasue he had a short history of "fraud" prior to this thread which makes him very hard for me to trust.
