Could it be a parody if GMedge?

A poor tribute?

Or praps even better, a mockery?

Well, I've agreed to fiddle with Sk8 on this half interesting project. Basically, instead of going on about how great some random games are and how they are setting new limits, we find the rotting areas of random games that could use quite a few workings on

Ya, so it is kinda cynical and rude. But why give the spotlight to all those flashy 3D blendmode whoring games? Here is where bad games get to have the stand on some obscure wordpress blog

Now then, length…Seems writing 8word blogs has caused issue of habit…

Ya, the watchers don't seem to fall for that…so on to Kibosh?

Yes, my little project with those really bad controls has gained more options with mouse controls. Overall, the code that makes the level plans is now reaching 400lines of ds_grid functions, to which amounts about 2:15 minutes of game if you don't count time where time freezes. If I don't feel like expanding this trinket, I'm past half

I've made some bombs. They will always explode, since I didn't feel like thinking up a way to make them be deactivated. Killing them just stops their sendings of quadruple bullet packs and displaces the explosion, which may cause larger gaps when the debris reaches you. I'm still using only 2sprites for all my enemies, and so here are the latest ragdolls

Yes, long live low resolution screen printing

Anyways, the more fun thing that needs tuning is the first "boss" thing of Ch3. It comes around, and green bullets go about the sides as the player is forced to stay away from those and thus have a smaller margin of dodging with the absorbing and all that. And ya, sure, I'll add another 1K to this blog with a random picture that got stretched to 75%half ugly

Ya, I can't even ramble on anymore. But I can babble. Except I'll spare you all that, since I'm partially tired today. But in a way that I'm still crassy, just tired crassy instead of hyper crassy. CRASSY!

EDIT=Hmmm…a day of rest and a post that I can't argue with makes me second guess the ways of GMrant

Maybe it counts the members and guests for the guests? It'd be really easy to make that mistake you know.

Looking great. How much of that is procedural?

@Kilin=I'm about 25% through Ch3. And I don't make dates

@Obel=All of it, besides 2sprites which are drawn together to make the bombs

To be honest, I see no potential in the idea of moaning and condemning bad games. Give the people constructive criticism and they can improve on it. Give the people a rant about poor graphics, bad coding and what have you and they could just lose all will to work on the game as newer people have a tendency to take "older" users' bad comments to heart.

Fiddling with sk8 just sounds so wrong.

Agreed.

@eagly=I agree, that review was written by sk8. I'm more watching the idea

Doing work is for fools

eagly is right. It does no one any good except perhaps the person writing it; unless it's very incisive, it's not entertaining, and it's certainly not helping anyone to make better games. If a game is bad, it should at least be given the courtesy of being allowed to die in peace.
