Try to apply for Plus+ and if that doesn't work out get Open Feint. Acheivements and Leaderboards always make a game look more attractive to the customer
Looks Cool! Add more thems I mean when you look at Metroid or so they use thousends of colors (fE on the SNES) Can't wait to play this
I don't have a title yet, have some ideas, but would be nice to hear more from you guys. It might be a good idea to diverge a little from metroid and/or mega man title similarities. Although, I do want to build upon the classic experience, I would like to have the game shine on its own merits. Hints on the story: Dark side of the moon... secret defense installation... new tech may control lunar activity... biotechnology... extinct species... hidden ecosystems... you are part of the secret lunar defense system, gone mad... what would happen if one sole company controlled the moon...? the moon, the weapon, can it be destroyed...? what would happen if the moon disappeared...? let me know your thoughts
Looks great. Hopefully there's a wide variety of enemies and level setups. Graphics and animation could be cleaner.
I like the look of it. Only suggestion is if the music on the trailer is the in game music I would change it. I don't think it fits the style of the game.
Maybe the music is a little too rambunctious for the game, but you should still keep the idea of an orchestra. maybe do something like Mass Effect with a mix of orchestra and old techno soundscape. Maybe a bit more uptempo? What do you think?
There was a big problem I noticed in the video and that is the view angle. Right now I think it is way too close! You can hardly see anything in front or behind you. Like when you had to shoot the rock above the moving platform, I couldn't even tell what you were doing until the rock exploded. Please, pull back the camera, we don't know what is around the next corner like you do . Also you could work on the backgrounds a little and the color contrast as well. Again, it's kinda hard to distinguish one object from the other in some cases (destructible rock). I really like the idea of the game a lot and the games it is based off of, but I think you can do a bit better .
I've no idea why exploding that barrel didn't hurt you. And you seem to have trouble shooting that wasp boss since you can't lock your aim direction while you run.
Sounds good, I will definitely explore. Several have mentioned the camera... maybe something closer to this...
the game could be called 'metron' it sounds kinda like metroid but not too much. the name fits the feel of the game. im impressed with whats there but maybe you could add more worlds-hopefully at least one that has a more technologic feel too it. also, id like to be alble too charge the bullets and see more enemies in the levels. hopefully there will be a boss! maybe you could give your character double jump or something like that! however, so far so good!
Castlevania/Metroid gameplay is my favourite type of gameplay ever so naturally excited about this. The new camera is a lot better, in games like this not being able to see everything will hinder you greatly. Now as everything is in sight it looks great. If it's a complex as metroid/castlevania you have to remember to add a map or something, but looks cool so far. If you need a tester for this you know where I am.
I'd love to see a new trailer with the camera pulled back. Game still needs a lot of visual polish and for controls that allow you to shoot that giant wasp while moving backward.
Thanks for zooming out! Before, the low sight was killing my interest totally. Now, the potential is there. Even reminds me a bit of Turrican, which is great! Keep on. Good luck!
you need to add sound that sounds as good as the graphics look... sound is ephemeral to the gaming experience. you want your players to get 'locked' into the experience, and while the graphics will def suck you in, the sound pushed you back out of the experience... also, the story mode is needed, and sound needs to go with that. try to find some good music on the net.. some peeps offer there sound making skills on these forums... ask them for help.. good looking game!! make it 1000X better!!!
You bet, I hope for Tuesday to have all the screenshots and videos ready. Almost all new areas are ready and added a few more weapons. Let me give you a hint: I'm currently polishing these up, but should all be ready soon. Thanx again for the support. Cheers !!!
