"Great Jeooorrrrb"

submission: StarCraft: Alliance

date: July 7, 2006

First thing I heard the Lone Jackals from Full Throttle in the opening fight I knew this was bound to be good. Fantastic job with the 3D, and overall great design!

Score: 8

"It's Good."

submission: Prince of War

date: June 6, 2006

God of War + Prince of Persia = Prince of War
(look at his character design!)

But seriously now, it's pretty good.

Just pop this script on all the objects so people will be able to go behind things:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.swapDepths(_y+10000);
}

You can thank me later.

Score: 9

"Good, but not great."

submission: 3d logic

date: June 2, 2006

The concept is interesting... And the play mechanics simple. But it never seems to get long, as it does tedious. Add weird spaces that allow people to do different things. Making lines not intersect is only fun to a point. But never-the-less keep it up, you are an amazing programmer, and have great ideas.

Score: 9

"Pretty good. But needs some work in some places."

submission: SuperPope Episode 1

date: March 7, 2006

I can't complain. It was one of the only long 'first episodes' I've seen. Usually its a 'teaser' or about as long as the opening was. Also, the art (at most points) is exceptional! Graphically, parts like the orange sliding door are very advanced stylistically, and I commend whoever did that. The Japanese is mediocre, the word "Shi" (?), does not mean die, but rather, death. You need to conjugate it correctly. And the voice work, had it been up to par with the art, would have been much better. Remember, if one aspect of anything exceeds another, you will look to the worse one to judge, not the better one. A well-rounded animation, even if you have to dull down the art, will be more cohesive then a polarizing one.

I await the next Super Pope with bated breath.

"Great! But one problem!"

submission: The Portal Guardian

date: January 23, 2006

If you get a bunch of upgrades, lose, and start over, it says you bought the upgrades, but doesn't act like you did. Otherwise, it's overall a pretty good game.

Score: 8

"Freelance Designer?"

submission: Super Mario Revived

date: July 2, 2005

Freelance Designer? You didn't have to say that wasn't your job... it shows from all of you work. Sorry, that was a bit harsh, but this just looks like 'Captain Bubble' with mario sprites instead of brush work. Also, I am guessing that you stole the jump/platform script instead of making your own, I believe this because of the unreliability of the placement of the script's MC to the graphic of the platform (that was mainly in Captain Bubble, and I applaud you on creating a wall script in S.M.R., the reason I am saying this is because the physics script in your new game and the one in Captain Bubble make the player jump in the same fashion). Even though the game is repetitive, I am pleased to see that there are many levels (as a fellow game maker I know this is very hard and tedious to create). In your next game, please give the enemies AI instead of tweens, if you make AI, the game becomes less repetitive to the player. But all in all, great job, it is rare that someone makes a game that is good on NG. I look forward to playing your next game!

"Eggsalent... however it is spelled"

submission: Drama In The Kitchen

date: June 1, 2005

I really really liked it.
But my only problem is that the main characters looked eggsactly like those in the comic 'Egg Story' released by SLG.

Anyway, I really liked it.

Score: 7

"Good... but:"

submission: Oh My God - Pilot

date: March 20, 2005

it was well animated, a lot of effort was put into it, but the script was mediocre, the timing was all off (so the jokes came off as dry), and the drawing style is overused. get creative, think outside the sudo-anime box that every kid has once drawn in.

Score: 8

"Great, but still could use some work."

submission: FF: Mixed in Balamb2(1/3)

date: February 1, 2005

The art could have used some fine tuning, and a consistent style, anything that wasn't animated looked great, and anything that was could use a lot of work (the art style seemed to change a lot. Some of the things looked so good that I would have to say that they are most likely traced (if so, great job tracing them, its harder then you think, and if not, even greater job drawing them!). It's also very hard to believe that you only used a mouse, this is because of the use of the 'brush' tool in flash. How did you manage to make it look like it was drawn with a pressure sensitive tablet? Voice acting was mediocre at best (hard to understand), but the recording quality was good. Some things (like the grass in the opening scene) were hard to figure out what they were. But I commend you for the time you put into it, it really shows. Never be content with your drawing ability, always improve.

Score: 9

"Amazing where it counts."

submission: Merry Melony ep.1

date: January 12, 2005

I have to say that this is the best piece of animation on ng! The music could have used work, but the voices were top notch! Also, the characters have a weight to them that is hard to achieve with flash (because of the entire vector thing, it seems flat). You are amazing, keep doing what you do, because you do it well.
