As a big fan of old school action games, (Contra, Shinobi, Metroid, etc.) I wanted to create an action packed platform - shoot-em game paying hommage the retro games. I also wanted to create a new exciting and compelling property that people can (hopefully!) get excited about with cool characters and a fun comic style storyline.

The whole property was inspired by a model/actress friend of mine Natasha Yi who has been in various magazines and film. Thus, the original intent was to create a small comic strip from it... I got too ambitious and wanted to do an animated series. Time and resources didn't allow for this. I figured being a game developer, I'll create Scarlet as a game with cinematic cutscenes. The project has taken almost 4 years from it's initial conception and has gone through various iterations(almost 2 for the game on a part time basis)This labour of love has taken form into something that is satisfactory and will continue to evolve. I Hope you enjoy this project as much as I have enjoyed working on it.

"not sure if your reading reviews, but"

date: February 19, 2008

i like what you were trying to do, people today seem to think the more detail, the better, and especially on newgrounds, make a game like contra or ninja gaiden, just a plain old good game. but you cant just put it out there because youre bored with it, lol.
i always feel wrong writing a review after it seems like literally 30 seconds likesome people, but you know what? not going to play it anymore. If your talent is drawing, why didnt you put an intro during the beginning? thats the only different between a professional game and some platformer some kid made. a good, telanted intro during the beginning. Put an intro in the beginning, and people will WANT to get to the end. probably the best story EVER, but noones gonna find out, huh? lol
nice talent, though.

":)"

The controls are a lil finicky, (it probably would have been better to have space bar as shoot, & the up arrow as jump) but if you're having trouble getting past the first level, you can shoot when you are ducking (which if they are standing, they won't be able to shoot you back) or jumping... and wait until their backs are turned of course...

hope this helps, C

"Not very good"

date: March 3, 2006

If this really took you four years (as opposed to two weeks) I feel kind of sorry for you. Your graphics look great, really beautiful, but this game has literaly NOTHING except for that. You have like, 4 animations for the main character, wtf is that? Jump, run, shoot and die. I didn't get past the first level (i.e. beyond that cutscene where she finds the bad guys) even though I tried twice, so I don't know if there were more enemies but even if the 2nd level had a new enemy you should have had more than just one in the first!! And how many animations did you have for that ONE enemy? Duck, die, shoot, duck and shoot. Yeah, that IS poor.

the characters are way too cliche (and where does Natasha Yi come into the game? I don't think the main character is very reminiscent of her...

the game is too hard, which is bad, because rule no1 for flash games is don't make 'em to hard. if you still want to make it hard, give us an "easy" option or give us unlimited amounts of continues. some people want a challenge but 90% don't. besides, the challenge in this game isn't a fun kind of challenge, it's just boring.

And the music is REALLY repititive.

It's a good attempt but seeing you are a professional this is a big letdown. Many under 20 year old amateurs at this site make MUCH better games than this (well, considering the maker of RaidenX was 14, I guess that says more about them than you)...

I hope you find the reviews you get here on NG helpful because there is a lot of improvement you can make. With your obvious talent for drawing I think you should be able to make much better games.
