cute! BTW. you can use BBCode youtube for embedding http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=13
the Trailer is quite interesting!! I guess Monster Hunter was the inspiration for this game? I really like the art, but if you can, will you make this game 3d? hehehe
The game looks pretty good! Very smooth monster and character animations! The gamplay looks strategic and straight forward. Releasing soon?
Yes, I will submit to app store a few days later. I used unity3d. It's a 3d game engine and characters are plane models with bones. So it looks very smooth
You seem very proud of yourself. Anyway, you might want to consider a new name for your game as that one's already taken: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pocket-hunter/id298661002?mt=8
Hmm, this looks pretty interesting, Virgil- it definitely wears its Monster Hunter influence on its sleeve. I'd worry that the gameplay looks a little bit slow from the vid, and one major problem with iOS games it the 'feel' of the combat. For example, i couldn't stand playing a game like Knights Onrush, because when fighting, it didn't feel like any strikes were connecting- the enemies didn't react much at all. I hope that Pocket Hunter doesn't have this problem! Will the enemies be difficult to defeat without learning their patterns and tactics? That's another quality of MH that i'd love to see here- too often it's just a case of grinding levels, then just standing there and hitting one attack over and over.
Thank you for being such a big help. I had just searched this name on google... Um...I will make a little change. ps: It's really hard to develop a game by one man. And...to promote it is harder than to develop it.
Yes. enemies' AI and pre-attack behaviors are great features in MH. And so in Patapon (psp). I have tried to make enemies' actions more variable. Each enemy has 4+ different attack types and each type has a pre-attack behavior. And you can control two characters(swordsman and bowman). Enemies also can make both close attacks and long distance attacks. So you can't just stand and press attack button to defeat enemies. Players need to watch enemies' actions and wait for chance to attack. And there are different battle modes you will see in release version. Those things can make the battle more funny, I think.
Almost every one who had seen it said it looks slow. But is it really better if it run fast? I had thought of this for a long time. And I had played many other action games. I found that fast game makes me fuss about all the time, and I have no time to observe enemies' tactics or to make adaptability reaction. I can just press buttons blindly...And, game is over before I found it. Maybe a fast game is more exciting or stimulating. I prefer to make a game more tactical. And I think giving players some time to consider gameplay is better. And, I thought that fast battle process interferes with the game balance. If player is faster than enemies, player just need attack quickly over and over, and it will be very easy to win; if enemy is faster, players will complain about slow again...So,you can see most action games are going to be faster and faster. Does it make more fun? And how long can it keep the felling of exciting and newness? Maybe it is a died corner of the action game design. Tactical and variable design of gameplay is real new blood for action games. This is only my private opinion, and I am trying to prove it!
Really don't have to change the name. The other app looks stupid anyway. I can wait to play your game!
Thanks. I feel the same. But I have made a little change. Now the name is "pocket hunters". Add a "s". Just because there are two characters in this game.
