Train Game Simulation 2

USE LOW QUALITY TO REDUCE LAG.


*EDIT*


By your reviews, it seems that most of you do not know what this actually is. This is basically advertisement to my upcoming game, except that you control the train and answer more questions (randomized) and I will make the graphics much better. I'm just asking the people of NG to give me recommendations on whether I change gameplay or not.

Needs a lot more;

There has to be more to the game then answering dumb questions so the train doesn't go off the tracks. Make it so that you can go in the train and look out the window, and see stuff go by, and its random, and you can go faster or slower, take the train down different routes, I don't know. It sounds like the real game could be good but if its just like this with better graphics, forget it.

Mabye PM me when the real game is done.

Good luck.

OK, but I'm not sure how you can look out the window and still know which way you're turning. This is the bonus game to a game about to be released, not the game itself.

i think...

its not half bad!

highwatermark responds:

If you think this is good, you will be killed by the real game.

Thanks for appreciating my work (that I put into this as of now).

I like the idea......

But the graphics wernt that good. I mean the train was just a red square, and the train tracks looked stupid.

And you put it that it was a movie, noo! Its a game. But I like the music when it says "GAME OVER".
So I say improve on the graphics, and when the train falls make it explode.

highwatermark responds:

This IS the movie. The game is what's coming out soon (should be around Jan.15).

Dont make it

Abandon the concept, start again and come up with something more entertaining. You appear to have some skill, but dont waste it on this idea.

Good luck.

highwatermark responds:

Sorry, but I'm already far too in to pull out. This is only the graphics portion test; the coding and questions are all done. Sorry that I can't listen to a loyal reviewer :(

You said it yourself, this is only a simulation...

... which also means that it is just a movie of a game. It has no plot, no story, no likeable characters. There is next to nothing interesting about a movie of someone playing a game, unless the game itself is something to marvel at. Unfortunately, your game leaves a lot to be desired. It is a basic quiz game, with the only twist being that your choice determines which of two paths you take on a train track... one that takes you further, and one that kills you. Ask yourself: how much different is that, really, from a quiz game in which the player simply sees a win/lose screen? It might be somewhat more interesting if the train car crashed in multiple different ways... off a cliff with one wrong answer... smashing into a brick wall the next... falling into water or something. And it would be more interesting if answering correctly won you some prize, like getting to see a new area, or graphic of some kind. But that would only be interesting until you had seen them all... and the animation and graphics would need to be much better than what you have showcased here... otherwise there goes even THAT level of interest.

I'm not trying to be a jackass here, but with your descrition tooting your own horn like you did... basically sticking your tongue out at potential reviewers and shouting "MY whistle is bigger than YOUR whistle", and touting your previous submissions as some great and powerful things because they won some mediocre award... you're really asking people to ramp up their agression before reviewing your submission. You're assaulting their egos... nobody likes a guy who looks down at them. Especially if the "pedestal" he's looking down from is actually just a telephone book.

highwatermark responds:

Sorry about that, but I passed judjment. I might as well get turd of the week now.

Thanks for the recommendations, but I'm ot going to remove the whistle statement because it's actually playing people like you to my favor; I'm losing points: fast.

BTW, my other submissions DIDN'T win any awards, but I did spend a lot of time on them.

The car will have different characters to put in, there will be a background, and everything will be more colorful.

Thanks for the long and detailed review. If you still want to complain, PM me.
