Some work, maybe a little more
Basicly, it was cool, but it's hard to judge anything from a totorial. Maybe put out another "test" that allows us to fight some on in a win or lose situation. Other then that, it's really cool, want wait to play it.
Reviews for "Sonic Battle Cards - Test"
Good job mow, i must say
i was really impressed with this flash, even though it was a demo. i like the idea of using the cards for specials and such. cant wait to play the full thing in october, maybe
Has great potential.
Well, as you asked, I'll give you some comments on the game. Starting on the good, the bad, the improvements.
Good:
-Great idea! There hasn't been such a game like this on NG before (not that I know of) so please DO continue!
-Love how you have a little sprite animation at the bottom for the attack, instead of simple cards.
-The 3D models you've taken from games, you've used them well to express the emotions.
-At the beginning, where you pick Sonic or Shadow, I like how you ordered that
-Use of arrows, simple to use, straightforward. Not many choices, but at least for now it's good enough.
-Animation of the sprites flowed smoothly
-Really nice how you animated the "You got ___ card". That came out well.
-How the card was presented in battle was a good way of animating it too.
The Bad:
-The slide transition is over used and when it's a conversation it tends to be slow.
-Overuse of gradients.
-Extreme, solid color or a bit of transparency but a block of it.
-Boring font, doesn't really match the game.
-Mispelling of words (yes, some people notice this), so might need proofreading. Things such as "your" and "you're" and all that.
The Improvements:
-Try to have different transitions. Like when it says "YOU WIN" have it fly from the left to the middle, instead of the slide-appear
-Get rid of the block of grey, it doesn't look too "professional" or that a lot of design went in to it.
-Get a better font to match the game. Look up "dafont" in google, it's a website to download fonts. You might find something good there =]
-Maybe have a explanation saying what the card does.
-Don't use so much space for the cards, I think people would like to see the animation too =]
-Design your own buttons with blend of colors, but please don't use gradients. It's been so overused before in many flashes.
-Conversations should either have faster transitions or just something else. Actually takes a while for it to roll out.
-Could layout so that you have inventory like Support Card, Attack Card, Trap Card, etc, instead of having the box for the cards take up half the space. HP and MP and attack button can be rerranged better too and made to look better.
There probably are some things I've missed, but those are the main things I can think of. Don't get discouraged, I'm not intending on dissing you, I really hope you will continue with this game even if it's just Shadow's part (even though I think Sonic would have a nice story too). It's a great idea, great start, hope you consider what I mentioned and continue being more creative. Hope this helps~
This game looks promising
This is the kind of game I like. Don't keep us waiting TOO long, now.
