Here you go, I’ve finally got an alpha release out. All feedback is welcome. Please give me more than just, “That’s niceâ€?. I’m shooting for feedback. A game like this needs a lot of balancing. (Pun intended)
Rosetta Stone AlphaSmall list of credits for the demo. (There isn’t a credits screen in the demo so.)Jeff Dahl – Egyptian DrawingsEricDB – Word dll Not much I can think of off the top of my head. I’ve got a few more ideas and balance issues I want to check into and mess around with. But I thought I should get a public alpha out first to get a little more feedback. Two direct question I will ask are about the online high scores. I plain on having an alltime and a weekly (Kinda like I did for Element Mine). However, do you think a Daily or 48 hourly high score would be desired as well? Or would it merely be a waste of time? I personal am leaning towards having the 48 hours one. What do you think?Second, Do you think an outside of game high scores list would be wanted? Like I did with Element Mine here. Element Mine Highscores I can do it again, but I most likely won’t bother wasting my time unless I think enough people really want it.That’s pretty much it. Just give me feedback on everything if you can. The more the merrier! Oh, And if you haven’t got a clue as to what I’m talking about, Check the blog right before this one.-Elmernite
Thats pretty smooth… pretty slick. Very profesional looking. As of now it gets repetitive but I know thats just because its in early stages.
A few simple ideas:1) Maybe you could have a setting where you can turn on a letter previewer, like in tetris, it tells you what the next brick is going to be. So you could turn that on in like granny mode or something. 2) Double lettered blocks for hard mode, like a block that with have 'TH' on it, or one with 'MA' so they would have to have those two letters in succesion in their word. Like to use 'MA' they would need a word like 'man' or 'many' or 'mattress'3)As you hopefully are going to make different game modes… How bout an egypt afterlife mode: In it your heart would be weighed against the feather like in Egyption mythology right? So one side of the scale is your heart, and the other is the feather. The computer puts alot more blocks on your hearts side to weigh it down, the object of the mode would be to make the feather side hit the bottom to secure your passage into the afterlife!Well thats all for now, and you didnt announce that cell burst got reviewed in the latest gm tech! And it shows a screenshot of my favorite level! heehee.Thanks!
1) Maybe, but the point is to be spelling words with the letters at hand rather than plaining ahead. Still, I could do that if it was something people wanted.2) double letter blocks. hmm…. If I can work it into my current system I'll need to think about doing that.3) I hadn't thought of something like that. I'll keep that in mind.Thats becuase I was at college. Didn't have the time to post until now. (And you beat me to it)-Elmernitemy highest score was 6660.
its pretty fun but needs some sound :P There should be about 5 top scores for the game. If you want I can let you integrate it with my site's highscore system…Thanks. Yeah, sadly, sound is always the last thing I do. What do you mean by 5 top scores? Like you can only see the top five people?
Well, the problem is I already have the highscores system set up on my end. I just haven't released a demo that uses it yet. Thanks though!Hopefully I can get the beta out soon. I just need to finish fixing up those bugs….-Elmernite
