"What did you test this on? A SG workstation?"

date: October 5, 2005

OK. The game itself was good. Nice idea, and all that.

However, I have a very beefy PC - and your game managed to crash it, even with detail set to low. Why?

Because you didn't optimise your graphics. Looks like you brought the models in from Poser or Maya, or 3DS Max, or something, using the export as SWF feature, but dind't tweak them in Flash; OR you used static renders and used the 'trace bitmap' function. The game ran - and I'm not kidding here - at an abysmal 1 FRAME A SECOND.

This kinda thing really narks people - looks like a few other reviewers thought the same thing. It's a real shame, because this could get really good marks, and otherwise the execution is excellent.

Suggestions: either optimise the graphics in Flash, or just use actual-size bitmap sequences. The trade-off in file size will boost performance (and ratings) significantly.

You should make those changes, and resubmit this. You should be able to get front page if you can sort out the performance issues.

"Like many others said"

date: October 5, 2005

I have 1.8 connection and about 1 minute after the first woman it went in a very cohppy way and really slowed. When you get that fixed this will be a great game.

"Nice work, but.."

date: October 5, 2005

.. like others before me noticed, there's a bug, most likely caused by the non-deletion of some actionscript objects or empty movieclips that went out of scope in the bottom game. It could also be the textwriting effect, depending on how you made it. Anyway, memory use went from 30 to 300MB in just a few minutes, please do something about this .. test before you submit =)

It's a really cool game though, good job on the graphics and conversations, it certainly would've kept me busy for a while.. I actually got pissed when it crashed, which is a good sign !

"Being very nice"

date: October 5, 2005

i am being very nice with these scores, you have a serious memory problem you killed my computer dude. I switched to low quality and that bought me all of like 10 seconds. I have a very good computer and considering hardly anything is moving on the screen the problem is your game. You need to fix this badly.

"Hmmm"

date: October 5, 2005

Fraid i have to be critical im afraid. Dont take this personally.
Firstly it was laggy, and i do have a high speed internet, even for low settings it was! But that wasnt lowering the score.
The main real issue I have is that its really a rip off of leasure suite larry. Even the minigame was like it, along wit the zoom in breast idea and the I next to U writing!
I have your score on 5 at the moment.

Hovever, I realise that it is really cleverly built and action scripted - a LSL on flash, very good indeed!

So you're on 6 now.
Good job, cept, style?
Uniqueness?
Personalised?

Even so, good job, keep it up.

"I think the game has a memory leak"

by: T-H
date: October 5, 2005

Ecellent game, but I think it may be suffering from a memory leak or similar error, after a while it begins to runs extremely slowly and siezes up, I'm positive its not my computer as well. Feels similar to when the original Wink game was released. You might seriously want to dig around and see if you can find the problem before updating the file.
