The Official EP1 Feedback topic

SoundGuy:
Hey Matan and Advance  - Thanks for your comments.

Advance - I'm sorry it was too hard to register to the forums, but we seriously had the worst spammer problem here, which only went away after adding all those captcha's and are you human's .
If you volunteer to be a moderator, and spend a few hours a day, each day removing spam, i'll consider removing the anti spam measures :)

Do remember that this game was done independently, no publishers, no million dollar budget, and yet, i think we did a very good job with whatever resources we've had.
I've seen games with much higher budgets, and worse graphics. not to mention worse writing, voices, or game play.

Matan - I still need to work out the technical details of how to give out the season upgrade option with our store provider (plimus). once we do we'll enable that option.

again - thanks for the feedback, and i promise, episode 2 will be better

EastWood, whatever criticisms you have were just invalidated when you brazenly admitted to pirating the game.  Shame on you. 

advance:
SoundGuy,

You want to cater for your customers, I think. Or do you want your customers to cater for you?

The forum is here so that the game players can talk to you. You should listen to what they have to say. It should be your prime motivation.

Anyhow, you should note next to the CAPTCHA that it is case sensitive.
You should note next to the "Human" and "Jackie" questions what their purpose is, and what to type in.
You should note what password is considered strong and acceptable next to the password box.
You should have JavaScripts that verify what the user typed is correct prior to submitting.
Or you should move to another forum that has less spam problems.

Anyhow - on to the game.

I am not saying anything to bring you down. All I am saying is that you should perhaps listen to the criticisms and perhaps take what you can from them.

First of all - fix the conversation balloon direction bug. This should be a primary action item.

Then - the rest of the issues. Most are cosmetic, but distracting.

Finally, you should be very careful when communicating with your users.  Be careful of being cast of the same mold as Derek Smart, if you know what I mean.

SoundGuy:
Advance,

Thanks again for your comments.

I've changed the registration page to be more human friendly.  I hope it is more to your liking now.
It was hard enough to setup this forum, and if you want episode2 to be better, i don't think it is wise to spend my time changing to a different forum system. SMF is a pretty popular one.

I don't know if you've done game development yourself, but good graphic artists are freakingly expensive, and considering the low LOW budget we had, i'm pretty amazed as to what we accomplished, and like you said, most of the are cosmetic. We'll improve the models and animations in time for the next episode.

I'm not sure what exactly is bothering you with the balloons, please elaborate (maybe screenshot?)

And thanks for the tip, I'm very careful with what i write.

Oded

Dude, pirating is when you circumvent the rules to play the game without paying for it, which is exactly what you have done.  It breaks the law, as well as the EULA you agreed to when you installed the game.  You say you are a game developer.  If this is true, you should know of all people why this is wrong. It doesn't matter if you don't like the game, the creator, or the price.  This is what he created, and this is what he charged,.  Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you should go and steal it.   So yes, it is shameful behavior.  Especially going onto the creator's forum afterward to brag about it.
