Re: Worms Clan Wars

My immediate criticism isn't so much the background clutter, but that it doesn't immediately differentiate itself from the foreground; it's non-trivial to separate terrain and background. Actually, scratch that. In some instance it's downright difficult if you don't already know what a typical worm...

Re: Worms Clan Wars

Those backgrounds look so cluttered.. I'd take some nice gradient color and subtle background shapes any day. Seriously. What ever happened to clarity in design?? So many games these days just hurl visual information like it's a contest. Old games worked just fine without all the extra polygons and...

Re: Designing a Game

We can help you. I could do some voice work for you perhaps :D Won't be needing any voice work. I'm not much one for putting speech into my films unless I absolutely can't do without. Besides, I'm in a college surrounded by professional actors :P Thanks for the offer, though, I'll keep you guys in ...

Re: Designing a Game

Unity comes with a networking framework which does some of the low-level work for you, but it's still very much a can of worms you're jumping into. ;) I've had classmates spend their whole semester just getting multiplayer to work reliably. Another suggestion would be UDK. It's not as easy as Unity...

Re: General Videogame Gabbin' 2: Word Beginning With R

Sure it's better than old Runescape graphics on a technical level, but remember that you are comparing the graphics of a 12 year old game with something created today (I assume)... of course it's going to look better . It's like comparing the value money from 50 years ago with today's money, you ne...

I assume that's fixed in this version.
hasn't that restriction ALWAYS been in place?

Re: Designing a Game

As to Unity, yes that is the plan. It's just SO EASY! It's frightening how simple Unity is to work with, and I'm going to be taking classes to further my knowledge. What's Unity like from the programming side? Particularly network programming? I'm wondering if it already has a system for things lik...

Alright, I'm down. That sounds phenomenal!


Also good to see 8 worms on a team again, finally.

Re: Worms Clan Wars

My main concern, beyond any new weaponry or lack-there-of, is the controls. I played Revolution for all of 10-15 minutes, it felt like sludge, and I stopped. Worms controls need to feel tight, refined. Sloppiness just kills the experience. I eagerly await a gameplay demo or something to see if this ...

Everything's a kickstarter these days, whatever happened to indies just making games for free out of the goodness of their hearts? :P Your concept looks cool, though starting with an "online multiplayer FPS" right off the bat sounds like a perilous adventure, I hope you know what you're d...

Designing a Game

So for the past few months I've been busily concepting up a storm for my second year film at CalArts, which will double as a video game pitch that I want to present to the fancy companies in the area. Failing that, it's a game that I might go to Kickstarter to fund, because it's something I think sh...
