FliesLikeABrick · « **Reply #4 on:** June 29, 2007, 08:08:58 am »

Now all we need is the source so that community developers can either learn from it or develop CG into their own game

sorry, but by me this thing totally sux donkey balls -_-'

You are happy blablabla... "Good game"... This is just a test of "3D" graphics here, because I can't call that a game... It is just a piece of crap, if we would look at Soldat.

MM, stop developing that shit and take care of your REAL game - Soldat. Read suggestions site etc. and add something cool to it.

This thing was a waste of your time... Now, people, think what could be done in the time of development... We might have missed at least some of these ideas...

Thyr · « **Reply #15 on:** June 29, 2007, 11:42:26 am »

You did realise that he stopped developing Crimson Glory, and that this was just a preview release to "proove" that he indeed was working on it (and in no way intended to be functional), didn't you? Seriously, if he had wanted to he could've made this game awesome, I see a lot of potential in it imho...

FliesLikeABrick · « **Reply #16 on:** June 29, 2007, 11:47:47 am »

Hopefully he'll share the source and others can turn it into their own creation

I can see his point, though I think its really more to do with expecting more somehow from Crimson here in it's unfinished state. I know I was for some reason.

Michal Marcinkowski · « **Reply #22 on:** June 29, 2007, 02:35:56 pm »

That's why I don't like preview releases, cause they aren't much fun for the casual player. I always release the game only when there is some gameplay involved, unless I'm ending the project of course.
This release should be very interesting if you want to see how the new engine works. There is a lot of cool stuff hidden from the eye, like scripting and editing.

Xxypher · « **Reply #23 on:** June 29, 2007, 02:54:59 pm »

Yeah.. the engine is nice, scripting capabilities are very good too, but as it looks.. the game is on a VERY early stage.

How do you load the other levels? I have read through all documentation, and I don't see anywhere where it says how to load the maps.

There are just simple test maps.

It's incomplete, and he isn't working on it any more. Unless you want to learn the coding, scripting and everything, and complete it yourself when (if) the source is released, feel free, but until then, be glad that you got anything at all.

well... if thats the case, i'm not really a game maker -.- and i'm glad that he finally managed to actually finish something at all... But i wouldn't really like to publish an unfinished game for so to just get bad critics... but now as its done, i wish u good luck with this game

DarkNoddy · « **Reply #43 on:** June 30, 2007, 07:03:08 pm »

How hard can it be to understand.. He will not continue working on CG, thats why he released it, se those who wanted could see what he had made.. We all knew he was working on it.
Hope the source gets released.

I think it looks great

My hat off to EH for the very sexy download page. The rest of the website he was working on for CG looked just like that, except bigger and much ... extremely nice.

I 2nd

I guess I never realized that it was going to be a 3D side scroller. I really like the feel of it and its a shame you don't want to continue it. On the other hand its understandable, your fan base does like ms paint a little too much.
So I propose some sort of compromise. How about layering the scenery, foreground, mid-foreground, player depth, mid-background, and background. The player would only interact with the player level objects but the rest would move at their respective speeds as you walk.

I agree. Adding a 3D aspect to your games destroys the general style of your creations. I believe the concept of Crimson Glory is great and should definitely be a part of your next project, I just hope it's 2D.

Good luck with everything.

Do you people even read anything at all in the thread before posting in it? That's two people now who have completely missed the point of this release. He had not really come close at all to releasing a fully playable of CG, so he decided to put this out to prove that he was in fact working on it. Also, just to show what stuff he had put into it, and I assume the source is coming later.

Damn you people to hell, learn to read.

After all this waiting, and anticipation for the game...

For one thing, this game doesnt work on my computer at all, its just completely not working right. i cant even see the plane!!

anywho, that was really a wait for nothing. After all that, it just turns out MM doesnt wanna do it anymore.

Im sad, i really thought this could of been something. This is why i want to learn programming, so i could make this game go platnum.

O well, thanks for nothing (or w.e that is) and i hope you keep on improving soldat.

DarkNoddy · « **Reply #58 on:** July 02, 2007, 09:01:44 am »

* DarkNoddy needs to blow off some steam.

When I read posts like some of those in this thread, I get rather pissed off to be honest.
Making games or programming fairly advanced things, is a process that takes alot of time. And if you find out, hey, this isnt something that I really want to do anymore, then people should respect that, ie. if you really hate a sport, how would you feel if someone started whining if you didnt practice to get better at it everyday? (not a superb example but you get the picture)

Dont get me wrong, I would like to see CG completed, but I have done some programming and such myself and I know how sad it is, after wasting a fuckloads of hours or even days on making something, for someone, absolutely free, in your own spare time, and all you get is whine if there is a minor flaw etc. So I know how shitty it makes you feel.

I think what CG is at this stage is very nice, hopefully he will release the source at a later point so someone else can perhaps complete the game.

Be glad he even wanted to share this with us. (he said himself he normally doesnt release games before they atleast have some form of gameplay)

One last thing: I'm not saying there is anything wrong with saying one is disaponted that the game is abondoned, but one can say it in other ways then "OMG! This is shit"

Splinter-Snake · « **Reply #59 on:** July 03, 2007, 04:02:47 pm »

Well in response to the last thing you said DN, most people who bitch about the game sucking are not talking about being unhappy that it isn't going to be finished. They're whining because they don't realize that it is an abandoned project and he's juts sharing with us what has been completed

DarkNoddy · « **Reply #61 on:** July 03, 2007, 06:09:08 pm »

I know (unfortunately), rereading my post I realize that it seems as if I was talking about people whining about it not beeing completed, while I actually meant both those who whined about it not beeing finished in a not apropriate way and most of all those basterds who just dled without reading what the release was and started bitching.
