INCURSION : progress thread

[arcreamer]

i know what it is dude... its not the game, its the lag on your computer... i was playing incursion on my different computer which has a LOT of lag and that happened to me too.. its not the game its the computer

I think that most of the glitches depend on the quality of the computer. For example, on my cheesy computer, I could hardly play it at all. The game was basically in slow motion because of how slow my computer was. Every time I jumped, the robot went really high, and the view couldnt catch up with it. Also, almost every time I was attacked by the assault ship, I would run out of ammo and the thing would still be alive. Then I played it on another computer, and it was amazing! Still, I wouldnt call it the best game I've ever played, (no offence at all to dsd, I think its one of the best games made on GE, further meaning that I have played in my life time games from professional companies, and Im not trying to compare dsd with these companies, and Im not saying that I didnt love Incursion, and Im not, IM NOT discrediting dsd ). I mean, there are professional companies out there with teams of scriptors, animators, testers and a whole lot of other ers, and the production can cost of to millions with just one game, and the results are ironically better lol (once again IM NOT DISCREDITING DSD). But I must say, that with animation tallents like dsd's and the scripting expirience, and the help of GE, Incursion turned out to be a success . You can see that for yourself if you read the previous Incrusion posts . Anyway, enough with the dragging speech, dsd, how did you get that nice metal look for the platforms, ships, robots, etc. for your game? This is the best I came up with.

dude freddy... he is a one-man game maker... i would say its probably the best 2D game ive ever played and with the most effort put into it... some companies it would take them a year to make this game... he isnt a proffesional game creating company... and he isnt trying to be... so i wouldnt refer to profesional game makers in this forum...

[Freddy]

Im not trying to say that he didnt make an excellent game, and deserves alot of credit for it, all I said was that it wasnt THE BEST game Ive ever played (I was referring to another post, I probably should have said that ) . And like I said, Im not trying to insult dsd at all. I'll never come close to making a game like his, and I admire his abilities, and like you said, his efforts in making the game. So no hard feelings (not talking about myself) I wasnt discouraging anyone. Edit: I edited my post.

[arcreamer]

well of course it wasnt the BEST game ever played
there are games out there that people spend 95% of their life on lol but this was a GREAT game and i give DSD a lot of credit on this

PS: u dont need to put yourself down by saying that u will never make a game like that

[Freddy]

Yeah like that dumb world of warcraft (which I know a few sad people who do spend 95% of their life on, not that I dont do that with GE), actually, I personally think Incursion is better than that! lol.

[arcreamer]

lol me and my friends use to play WoW that was an awesome game but it got boring once we got to 70 lol

[d-soldier]

Don't worry fellas, I'm not easily offended... except for comments by pixelpoop, he called my crushing rock-bots "lame"...

[pixelpoop]

let me clarify: The robots themselves are not lame. The deformation of the robot on being squished is lame, it looks like you just resized the height of the 2D graphic to make it look squished. And I only say it is lame because by comparison the other small ground robot in your game blows up when it is landed on. The longer legs on the spider would indeed be bent and squished but why does one creature have catastrophic failure and the other does not? They both look like they operate on the same principals.

[Freddy]

This is turning into one of the longest posts Ive seen in GE lol.

[Game A Gogo]

indeed, too bad the game is too big for my dial-up... I could make more post and have fun playing the game =D
but all I can do is wine about it T,,T *shuts up*

[d-soldier]

Start downloading it when you go to bed (so i might be done in the morning) or get out of the nineties' can get cable.

[summer_goth]

I haven't had the time yet to download it. And I've been looking forward to it so much! Will do it at home tonight. I look forward to playing it d-soldier.

[Freddy]

I used to have dial-up, I didnt mind it, at least not until I became internet frenzy. And when that happened, I could only go on for a little while, because no one could call on the phone when I was online. And then, only a short while after that, I got wireless (well with the router it was wireless) INTERNET!!! . Then I got into downloading stuff, and I really wanted to know how to make games, and I found all these cheesy programming softwares that usually said "LibertyBasic makes programming easy!". But in reality, it would be trouble for the worlds most devastating hacker. But then, I found it. I found the program that would enable me to program... GAME EDITOR!!! And thats my story. (sorry for being a little -- alot off topic lol)

[irblinx]

Wow, missed loads being away from the forum again. This looks absolutely superb, shame I'm so rubbish at it

A couple of points, the squishing of the robo spiders could do with a meatier sound. Personally I think the Mech thing (the hero) could do with a slight addition to its anim. I think it needs a landing anim to add a bit of weight to it (maybe a little cloud of dust and a bit of a shock impact), presumably it is supposed to weigh a few tonnes and it seems to land with no impact. Oh and there's a typo in the intro, it says "our political leaders were impontent". I think I would've used a more futuristic font too, or at least a sans serif one.
