This game is a product of Nicholas Nels hard labour!
First of all: The Complexity, Character Management and Possibilities are fascinating!
However, the Controls quite bugged me: When walking per Mouseclick, the turning of the Camera makes navigating a Pain and when walking per Keyboard (which I did most of the Time), then taking a Step back would be a pleasing Possibility.
However, these are minor Things that just bothered me. The actual Problem is/are the Framerate Issues: Generally, the Game runs slow and laggy, but now and then the Framerate increases and everything runs smooth with all of a Sudden. So I guess that the Problem there is the Management of the Game Elements. I don’t know what you did there, but the Game could run really smooth obviously.
This is actually a real Problem as the low Framerate even makes Doubleclicking almost impossible at Times. I HATED opening Doors in this Game.
It seemed unclear to me how I should handle the Inventory as at Least I thought there is one. Seems there is now Inventory even though you use a Backpack? It took me quite some Time to realize: Grab Key, keep pressed, move Object over Car, let go of the Mouse Button, Car is unlocked. I had no Clue until I once robbed Someone’s Bike! Before then, I was so confused that I eventually just ran Rampage as at Least that is made very easy (???), murdered Shout, took his/her powerful Scythe… and ran even more Rampage, because everything else was so much more difficult to control.
Until my Computer broke down.
My Computer practically never breaks down from a Blender Game. I think you really have to clean up whatever gives that horrible Framerate.
Two last Things:
No Sounds, no Music, just nothing?
»What are these? Giant Coconuts?? click … ROCKS???«
But other than that, I somehow enjoyed playing and I even would call it inspiring! : )
Hi, I have just released version 1.3, since 1.2 was basically a remake I had lots of bugs to fix, Im sure you will find a smooth ride on a new computer(standard)
Have a look through the new features in the opening post for more information
I have just released a new version with exciting new things and nice bug fixes.
The important bug fix was the money bug (cant put money on stage), and other than that I focused on making the vehicles more fun to drive, the cars are faster and the roads are wider!
I really hope this gets more publicity, your games are all good but for some reason get little publicity. Also, you can include videos using the film icon. Like this;
