THE WORST GAME EVER MADE! (Update 3)

[Chad]

Well, only a decent one. And only if you consider the fact that it was made with approximately 2.5 - 3 months programming time by a team of six.

That's right, the beta of my game, Madcap is here. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check it out at http://www.liminalitygames.com. It's being worked on as we speak. In fact, it probably won't work on your machine because we haven't even really tested it for compatibility. Heck, the only levels that are really even complete-ish are the Tutorial and Desert Level. The City level is well... not so populated.

If you find any bugs, please post them in this thread along with some specs on your computer. Even if it's, hey, the game won't even load up or, I don't even have a clue what to do or how to play. I will answer any questions. This game is going final in a week, so play it up, kids!

To come: Real screen-shots, a better down-load (nightly or bi-nightly I hope).


Update 1: New Build. Things that were added were slight, like foot-steps. Also now the enemies should never show up in the T-Pose.

Update 2: Massive file size. Sorry. I think we added the ax and some new visuals. A lot of behind the scenes stuff as well.

Update 3: Yeah, should work now. Might have tutorial dialog in.

Re: THE BEST GAME EVER MADE!

I'll probably check it out tomorrow.

Also, what did you do on this?

Re: THE BEST GAME EVER MADE!

My thoughts post tutorial. I liked the game, actually, but with a week to finish I'm guessing that things to fix edges out blind praise.

-Mouse sensativity higher half needs to be dumped in favor of more presicion for the bar. 1/4 was way too fast, and I can't imagine who'd want to play on something greater than 1/2.
-Melee, at least the club, needs to be a one hit kill. Why bother factoring for boost and maunevering to have the club hit on the BACKSWING ONLY when I could just fire missles? Melee should be the caveat for skilled gamers.
-The tutorial doesn't end when Burnside says it does. That'd be nice.
-Remember in the tutorial we can have a custom Helix from the begining. You say "Use your machinegun!" when I have a laser.
Oh, and check out Wavepad. Just google it, I don't wanna hunt for it. Watch how it makes even underage kids like me sound remotely like Helix Pilots! (Gotta turn it up pretty loud.) Granted I still sound pretty dumb but with you guys you could probably do the voices spot on!

Re: THE BEST GAME EVER MADE!

GRACIAS, HITOGOROSHI-SAN!

And about the voices. We actually have our stuff recorded. The studio that did our sound is still cutting, mixing, and mastering the clips. All the dialogue in our game does have voice-overs. I hope it's a nice addition instead of our downfall.

Re: THE BEST GAME EVER MADE!

Ah. Cool beans. I guess let me know if a kid starts running around with a Helix .

Re: THE BEST GAME EVER MADE!

Didn't I promise 3ds models or somthing like that for this game?

Yeah, sorry about that.

[Chad]

Re: THE BEST GAME EVER MADE!

Haha, it's OK. I think we've got a decent amount of content for the time we had.

Also, as I said in my edit, newer build is up. I think most of the changes are small, behind the scenes stuff like footsteps.

Think you guys could use a more readable font on the webpage. I mean I can read it a bit, but it is hard to read. As for the game I'll try it out later today.

The screenshots look very nice though, reminds me of the game GunMetal.

Re: THE BEST GAME EVER MADE!

Ah yes, that infernal web-site. Yeah, that was the project of our design team. We asked for it not to be straight flash and have a back-end. That's what we got. Perfect, right? We didn't even get the .fla, but the .swf.

I'm sure you'll find that the screen-shots are a little dated, as well.

The wonderful joys of working on a good team I see .

Oh and I downloaded the file and it says the file contains invalid data when I double click on it. Guess I'll try downloading it again. Nope still no go, so do you have a link to another download of it? Third time wasn't the charm either so I think it's messed up.

Not that it matters I imagine but I have Windows 2000, DirectX9c and OpenGL 1.x.

Re: THE BEST GAME EVER MADE!

Gah, yeah, I think someone started to upload a broken install trying to remove the manifest and c++ 2k5 redistributable and canceled it mid-way. I should have it back up tomorrow. :/

Unfortunately I don't have the install on my desktop.

Re: THE WORST GAME EVER MADE! (Update 2)

Sorry to double post / (No, I'm not).

TrueCoolness and everyone else. The download should work now. Apparently an eighth of the download uploaded. It's supposed to be 80 MB, not 12.

Re: THE WORST GAME EVER MADE! (Update 2)

Well hopefully this will work so I can see what this game is all about.

Re: THE WORST GAME EVER MADE! (Update 2)

I wish I could have gotten the voice overs in before the install was made earlier today, but I just got them back from the studio tonight and I've just begun putting them in there.

Gotta love late nights. I'm working right now.
