I did try to make a decent game . i dunno maybe i need to play more games like i used to

unfortunetaly I dont wanna do this anymore anyways. im kinda tired of morons like you guys
like seriously you can have talent but ill be nothing more than an artist i have some ability to program but i just cant keep up and have a life at the same time.

Im trying to fix the game up is good news i suppose. Im not much of a quiter i will continue to try

Or maybe i should just team up with a programmer.

Whatever either way i suppose i can still feel good that i did try maybe. or maybe that i do have a life a girlfriend and i do have regular sex unlike some patrons on this thread.

uh lols lols lols

in vast majority i know my stuff isnt something to die for so i am aware of what you are saying.

I have put this on my mind for a little while and i know porting the AS to a frame rather than a berrage of messy MCs is better off, Glaiel tells me all the time. The game didnt bomb too badly no but Im being greedy and trying to round up the highest possible score like any normal person.

I think the first step is to port it all to AS 3 im getting tired of being left behind on that.
While my mathematical habits have improved greatly. My actual habits with actionscript havent improved much. SO basically I know for a fact the more crap i add the more difficult it can be to be likable.

Man i hate balancing acts.

Really though I get a lot of obsessive emails especially lately. And the annoyance is there even when i ignore the emails. I get em on youtube too frequently, on Newgrounds, yahoo, msn. Dunno how some of the guys know my msn.

But im sure you can understand how annoying it can be waiting for a buddy to reply or something but having to look through what can be at times a 2 dozen of more emails from impatient people who speak in poor leet that can be less legible than some of my written things at their worst.. Yeah i know its 1337 but i chose to speak in letters :P

Anyhow I did get greatly impatient with the first issue which may or may not be part of the cause of me not being thorough enough. But man the fanboys or whatever you want to call this specific group of obsessive people can be a little overwhelming. Yeah i get it cant hanbel the heat get outta the kitchen right i know. I think the best thing to do is to ignore them in totality. and just do what i want to do - whats fun.

What is good is i have no ties anymore. Issue 1 is done so i have no moral obligation to any single game. I think i agree totally with you guys that this time is better spent getting better AS habits and putting it all on AS 3. Im not used to scripting on frames obviously but i think it would be a good experience.

Yeah that was a large build up to a single question. bad idea on my behalf :P

but i couldnt do this on one of my own PF threads. Cause then the answer would come from the very people who rushed me in the first place.

I look foreward at making these next projects worth it.
thanks alot.

I have obtained a new USB tablet, The wacom bamboo. Its a pretty but rough little tablet but i have been using it as my primary new approach.

As most people know the annoying bugs caused Fear Unlimited 2 Issue 1 to not succeed as well as planned. And it is unexcusable.

I have come to realise from the past few games that the people who beta consistantly for me are unreliable. And the ones i got ahold of special for Issue 1 either only said theyd beta so theyd get to play it or were just fucking with me.

Either way i put the blame on them.... well not entirely but I beta tested about 6 times. and nemesis can velch for me on this i spent 2 weeks complaining about how long it was taking to test.

And i did literally defeat every bug i found.

Now knowing the main concerns (Albeit at the cost of Fu2 Issue 1s popularity) I can move on and build apon. This is my first game with real platforming elements that i didnt have a tutorial on how to make. If you can recall the early element adventure, it had platforms but i made that game based on a few tutorials.

I have made a add on and get rid of list.

Get rid of pole swinging and pole climbing. theyre just no fun in 2D and impossible to animate well.

Fix the Health gauge code to empty even when the player dies. A number of people have died with the Health gauge still having a fragment of green left. This leaves some confused and angry.

and a number of more things.

The first thing i will say to those looking forward is that I am using a new art style and now that im not dealing with trying to get the game done by 08 I can relax and be more thorough with my drawings.

there were a number of rushed ones with odd faces.

I can also say that Issue 2 is being ported from Actionscript 1.0 to 2.0 maybe 3.0 depending on if i have the patience to put up with putting all the code on a frame.

What i plan to do is redo the main base of the game which is over a year old. Im much better with actionscript now than i was then and this should eliminate all this code being handeled by flash player and therefore reduce lag for people with weaker computers.

I must say that I wish i had done this in actionscript 2.0 sooner to say the least. There is quite a few new features.

I can also say the bulk of the bug complaints. Well i looked into the bugs for a little while. I am 80% sure i know the causes of each one by now. I can promise to fix em anytime soon my drive is being extensively frigged at the time and i am occupied working on a few things.

But I would like to know if the upped artwork and upping the actionscript is a good idea seeing as it will take a longer time but will prove to be worth it.

volunteer of course.....lol

basically i need folks who are decently good at fast shoot-em/beat-em-up games.

the main premise of FU2 is that ist is like 2 missions from being done and the biggest bust is the slow down on the missions being beta tested. theyre tough :p and im trying to make October 31st to put it online but at this rate it will meet November 25 probably.

Since i am the one beta testing for the most part its even harder. cause I gotta note problems i see and take care of em and the game is a long one assuming i dont die it can take 10 - 15 minutes to beat a mission. and thats only cause im good at the game. regardless I cant be play testing thoughrally and fixing issues especially if i am just one guy. and i do gotta work on the art and the animating, and the scripting and helping nemesis get the damned soundtrack done damn this is stressful!!!!

anyhow if youre interested. email me at dizimzinc@yahoo.com

heres a short mission preview

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGpkU_ZQp mE#GU5U2spHI_4

a few tips if youre interested.

the main enemies ( the monks again) are smarter and will block repetative attacks.
They will also respawn much closer to you than in the first one. Often they will respawn from behind.

The X key will prompt every now and again. Press it near the prompt to kill enemies in a certain fashion. this wil bring out, yellow or green orbs along with larger red orbs. Green orbs are health restoring and yellow build your magic gauge.

The game does now have platforming elements and falling from too large a height will kill our unfortunate demonslayer.

if youre interested. email me. Ill send a text document (instructions) along with the current missions to be tested.

well actually you may be able to pull a second overture kind of thing for me
you made ravaged fears which is great but i realized that its type of music doesnt play till the 2nd or 3rd issues
( the game is huge and broken into several parts called issues since its comic based)

anyhow I need an overture kinda theme, something that feels like a challenge of the gods kind of thing you know if you played god of war you would know i had that game in mind when i designed the puzzles and traps and the big levels so i feel a tune similar in feel to that would be great

if you havent played it
http://youtube.com/watch?v=CKoGIXATLAg

Its the main melody im interested in try and keep it up tempo faster and more adventure pumping than ravaged fears winterwind. Thank you

Didnt mean it like that i mean as an entire soundtrack

Im still using your stuff but I should get stuff from other people to keep from a less repetative feel and if someone bitches out, Its easier on me.

But its not that it isnt original Winterwind, as i said it is in the sense of the song(s), but as far as quota goes it doesnt reach the number

Thanks for all the support guys, I wish i knew this forum for audio existed sooner

I heard most of your stuff, erectronic or uh legendary pirate?

I did contact you on making more costumized tracks for me previously i never actually got a straight answer are you up to it?

thank you and i wish the best of luck to ya :)

The music was substituted in its by turmion kutilot
i asked for him back in all but hes doing his own thing and thats fine.
Winterwind made a couple tracks but its hardly an OST

Well as a lot of the fans know Fu2 keeps getting delayed for various reasons/excuses

I have been trying to push it to finish it but i have a major issue of lacking music.
Originally i had Nemisis Theory doing the music but for some reason he doesnt feel confident enough in the guitars provided by FL studios.

Anyhow he dropped ot and i need a musician who is particularly competent with guitars and basically a techno metal style of music.

Of course said artist will be credited in the end
This game is hopefully gonna come out as professionally as possible Im even going through the trouble to actually fix my typos.

there is also this gameplay link
http://youtube.com/watch?v=0QOS6eP3K0k I just uploaded it at 12:00pm Atlantic time, so it may not be up yet

Best detection is the flag hitest

if(_root.ground.hitTest(_x , _y+Height, true) && falling==true){
falling=false;
}while(_root.ground.hitTest(_x , _y+Height, true)){
_y-=0.1;

Something like that never fails you gotta tweak it , and theres bound to be a few errors ,I wrote that on the spot but it always works for me

Dont use norm hittest with platforms , since flash doesnt run like real life you should know that when an object accelerates falling it displaces by so many pixels so its actually possible to fall through it

Getting rid of sound does not get rid of lag, or at least by much

Fear Unlimited 2 is having a rough time as well because of lag so heres a few things that I did to eliminate

First and best off . if something is not on the stage , make it invisible do not alpha
that causes even more lag

for instance my stage I think is 900X575

SO I have a code like

}if (_x < 890 && _x > 10 && _y>10 && _y < 560){
_visible=true;
}if (_y > 560 ){
_visible=false;
}if (_y < 10 ){
_visible=false;
}if (_x > 890 ){
_visible=false;
}if (_x < 10 ){
_visible=false;

I am sure there is a way to make this shorter but this is a fast solution
place this on all mcs and it should work out to eliminate 45 %-65 % of the lag
the other option is to have a silent sound stream inside of an mc on a countinious loop
so that when this happens it causes lagged areas to speed up but this can look very ugly at times

but sound doesnt cause lag unless there are a lot of streamed sounds at once

hahahaha I agree entirely but I dont think my opinion counts for this issue , it was in the top 50 for 3 and a half weeks though , look out for Fear Unlimited Kingdom of Fate
(the prequel)

I forgot to mention my email address , anyone who is interested contact me at

dizimzinc@yahoo.com

here are the roles again

Encon (main character) - male - halfbreed Demon , around 17 - 19 years old , needs a more mature
kinda cocky/arrogant voice think of a dude with dual uzis and a bigass sword

Urami - male - Full breed , his age is unknown but appears about 28 - 35 years old , He is cocky as well but is able to back it up , He is skilled and wise and uses dual mazamunes called Gijutsu and Bijutsu and he can turn any object into chop suey in seconds

Martyr - Female - Human-Her name is not pronounced marder but martier - She is the mistress of The daraku monks of the Osore clan . She carries the staff of the fate
Encon has strong feelings for her , but does she return this affection?

Enki and Shuuen - Male -demon - A two headed giant with electrical tonfas or rather tonfa like weapons embedded into their arms I need one voice for these dudes , They are a bit dimwitted and slow in the thinking department but are terribly strong

Gogyuo -male -Demon- A fiery devil with chains and blades , he also uses a fiery flail
This monster is couragous and respects honor , but laughs at people foolish enough to challenge his brutal strength

Nankyuko - Female - Demon- She uses the skill and speed of bushido here weapon is a halberd/naginata and her element is ice , she is cold and collected to the point of being cruel . She admires skill and courage , but will cut arrogant warriors down in minutes
she hates men and has a very angry personality

sousaku -male - human - A gunslinger bent on revenge against the Osore clan of the daraku , because they took his little brother from him 13 years ago . He encounters encon several times through out the game and shows little to know respect to encon , but the thought is mutual , does sousaku play a larger role , or does he fail in his mission

- there are other roles but none I can think of right now

I was sent here because my new game requires acters/actresses , its animated so its obvious I mean voice wise .

So Ill be brief there are the following roles

Encon - male - halfbreed Demon , around 17 - 19 years old , needs a more mature
kinda cocky/arrogant voice think of a dude with dual uzis and a bigass sword

Urami - male - Full breed , his age is unknown but appears about 28 - 35 years old , He is cocky as well but is able to back it up , He is skilled and wise and uses dual mazamunes called Gijutsu and Bijutsu and he can turn any object into chop suey in seconds

Martyr - Female - Human-Her name is not pronounced marder but martier - She is the mistress of The daraku monks of the Osore clan . She carries the staff of the fate
Encon has strong feelings for her , but does she return this affection?

Enki and Shuuen - Male -demon - A two headed giant with electrical tonfas or rather tonfa like weapons embedded into their arms I need one voice for these dudes , They are a bit dimwitted and slow in the thinking department but are terribly strong

Gogyuo -male -Demon- A fiery devil with chains and blades , he also uses a fiery flail
This monster is couragous and respects honor , but laughs at people foolish enough to challenge his brutal strength

Nankyuko - Female - Demon- She uses the skill and speed of bushido here weapon is a halberd/naginata and her element is ice , she is cold and collected to the point of being cruel . She admires skill and courage , but will cut arrogant warriors down in minutes

sousaku -male - human - A gunslinger bent on revenge against the Osore clan of the daraku , because they took his little brother from him 13 years ago . He encounters encon several times through out the game and shows little to know respect to encon , but the thought is mutual , does sousaku play a larger role , or does he fail in his mission

- there are other roles but none I can think of right now

The three I mentioned
so , any questions reguarding FU2 send them to dizimzinc@yahoo.com

Hmmm If your gonna email me try emailing it directly to dizimzinc@yahoo.com , not my phrozenflame address , and definetly not my msn I dont bother checking that one

well the fixed sum is decided by ag , and bonus come from daily first fp and 50000 views usually I think the deals are always good

It's pretty cool to see my self mentioned but I think alot of people forget the rules , you cant sleect like 9 movies and 1 game the rules choose 5 games and 5 movies .
and I dont like seeing games get underminded scince we who make games work just as hard as the people who make movies .. Good luck to the competition
but I hope I win something !!!!
BTW
I for one know its hard to choose 5 good games and 5 good movies but we are selected because the heads of NG know that the selected voters are responcible enough to be able to handel such a responcibility which this is in actuallity It doesnt look like much but the attention brought from these votes can make or break something surprisingly and nothing is more of a piss off than losing to a hentai game especially scine 90 percent of them are quizes with little to no action script

you only playyed the first few levels it gets quite intense in mission 2-3 and up

well I only heard never played it

a bit yeah but I dont like the fact that my new engine took me a month to make and he says its recycled , but it isnt nice to bitch about people , or at least be brave enough to say it directly to them

god damn I make different engines in every god damn game
frig you got a problem , even if I do get the same score it doesnt affect you , I can tell you the slight script changes are ver big , I start from scratch on everything , I like my games , jump high and attack hard ..........................................
..........................................
....
If you have a problem email me and I can easily proove that my engines differ greatly
you can also ask people who have been with me scince day one ...

NEXT - dont talk about me behind my back I have a huge problem with that though I dont take offense and I am giving people what they love if you dont like it I cant do much , and I havnt made 20 games I have made 4 good ones all different engines and theres a series of crap that I want gone lol but I was noob all the same platformer engine and you dont even know what an engine is

I started making an action engine to optimize my boroque gameplay style
( fast, intense, and combo based) you cant miss em they are the games with the crazy hangtime ,

Anyway I took an older story of mine and mixed it with this boroque style .

Fear Unlimited , like Element Saga gives you optinal combos , and customization ,
Really it's an improvement of ESCH5 , but you play as Encon , a badass Vampire/Demon slayer , whos half immortal , gives you , 4 different guns , 4 different swords , custom devil cores, and 4 different hell drives , definetly somehting you must play , plus a custom soundtrack by Nemesis thory

stop typing in CAPS locks you fool

stop typing in CAPS locks you fool

Well I wouldn't say over my head , though this isn't offering payment , I do like to lend my services to in lack of a better word "promising" projects , though I would love to know in more detail what is going on , Id definetly help I have nothing better to do at the time of course you cantr get much better than this

Wow this sounds bigger than DaD & Me , and Decline 3 put together , Id be more than happy to put Element Saga Ch6 on hold for this shit,
It Actually sounds , well , interesting , alot better than any other noob bullshit
anyhow .. Id be more than happy to lend my services
