I had the chance to play: Crown of Order, Dragon Knights 2 i think it was, SD Paradise, Championship Golf 2004, Psuedothello, Defenders of Light 2, and Doan's game last night, and i have reviews on them... well, to start: Crown of Order: Very fun, and the maps were cool. nice intro and the way the people were skinny to make them look more realistic was nice. the whole up, down, left, right, L1, R1 button thing was AWESOME, along with how the main characters showed up on attack or being attacked. The demo was worth it to me, and i give it a 9/10, the 8 came from i was completely confused once the assassin guy came in.... but i am sure that it was because it was a demo only. Very cool with the archery range though, that was the biggest kick for me  Dragon Knights 2: Well, the game was....interesting, although i kinda didn't like the fact Crono and Kais? were in it (from DBZ i assume). The battles kicked up in the castle almost every step, by i guess it's because there were alot of guards in the castle... The VFX was nice, the intro was cool, like a sci fi movie or something, so it caught my attention. I give it a 7/10.  I don't know if dave comes here or not (i think his name was dave) SD Paradise: The intro was long, way to boring, but it got better once i got outside. the jumping thing was nice, flawless except when jumping over holes, which i didn't mind that either. The gem game was challenging and fun, like pacman or so... I give this game demo a 8/10. Championship Golf: COOL!!! a sport game! it had a nice twist with the coins. and yet, it seemed so simple, but it wasn't, very challenging (i like challenges) not much else to review, i give it a 9/10. Psuedothello: This was/is cool! it was simple to understand and VERY challenging (for me atleast it was) Slimes multiply, slimes convert, wipe out the red. the title thing was nifty and cool, and the earn new boards idea gave it a more board game feeling. I give this a wopping 10/10! ;D Defenders of Light2: Not much to review, but yet this game was fun to play. the character selection and the "6 lights" sign was cool.... all in all, i look forward to this game. i give it a 9/10. Doan the Nado's game(can't remember the title name): The intro was short, but it got to the point i felt, so i liked it. THE CAMERA!!! how in the heck!!! that was cool, and exploring the castle was fun, there was quite of few things to do to keep me occupied. i give this a 9/10 (short demo) REMEMBER: these scores were given on how i liked the demo, so i am sure the final product will be better, thus, don't panic or freak out if i seemed to harsh (my bros say i am too "kind", oh well eh?) Yeah, so...that about does it... |

Sounds good. The custom camera system thing's real easy to do. I could explain if you want, but with a Zelda game it'd only work if you have the 4 shoulder buttons (at least) free. It'll be fun for me to, so ask if you want to.

You can make my Custom Camera System yourself, and it's very easy. Just read this FAQ. Thank you for the review. That is by no means even a complete demo, it is simply the most up-to-date game save I have so far. I wonder if you pressed [] to check out my CMS? It's still in progress, of course. There will be a long cutscene before the game begins there in the castle, so that is not really the beginning to my game. I'll be sure to let you know when I get a new demo up! |

I recieved my MAX EVO yesturday, so another couple demos were played: Hippy Hunt and Will's game. Hippy Hunt: Being as I am a teenager, I have a weird sense of humor, and this game made me laugh almost till I died *exaturation, but still, I laughed pretty hard*. The VFX were awesome and nice, and the story was OK, as #1 was not released *according to the board*, but still, I understood it. I give this game a 7/10. Will's Game: When I loaded the game up, I noticed there was no intro, so I sat there thinking something was going to happen for about a minute and realized that I could move. I talked to people and thought the whole camera rotation when talking was cool , very good. as for the custom music, you have a gift at this, I could tell, as they were REALLY cool , keep it up. Now comes the things to do and maps. the things to do got repitive as alls there was to do was explore and get treasure chests with stuff I didn't need, as there were only 2 battles, and that was from talking to a guy. I was kinda disappointed with this, but I realized most of the time probably went into the music, so I'll let you off on that. Overall, I had fun listening to the music, but the whole lack of battles and other things to do was high, I give this demo a 7/10. the music though boosts it to a 8, nice work w/ it |

Ok, more reviews.
Plasma Dreams~..........*is speechless*
I liked everything in this game, from title screen to the imp. A couple of bugs were in it, but nothing that urked me. One was were if I tried changing to 1st person, it'd freeze or just stay black, this kinda disappointed me as i like 1st person games *not the DBS mind you*. The battles were flawless, I was in awe when i ran into one. I give this demo a well deserved 9.5/10
Tabloid~A DVD!!!!!!!! or the closest thing there is from rpgm2. It had a nice comedy, but i'd enjoy it more if the text would open/close itself. overall, nice scenes, and nice humor, i give this a 8/10.
Happy Hunting Grounds~A hunting game, and a pretty good one at that, despite the really low amount of gameplay. I was never a hunting fan, but this was fun, not much to grade though, so a 7/10.

I didn't expect you to review it, but I'm glad more people got to play this, it was a labor of love for me. If you liked 1st person games, check out the test game when you select the difficulty(just scroll up past hard, I thought it was pretty fun). Oh, I fixed the FPV bug in the options menu, it had to do with an event not responding correctly. I'll upload an updated demo soon, and hopefully it'll be the last update I do on it. |

2 more reviews. Dungeon Warden's Crown of Order: For some strange reason, I had a hard time getting into the intro and story of it. I know how it goes, but it took awhile for me to understand it. Given that this was just a demo, I'm sure it'll be better to understand in the final game. The fog got on my nerves pretty fast. at first I thought it was for only morning, but I go in and out of buildings at 2 PM, and its still there! The archery thing was cool, though I posted that in my last review of your demo. Now, the battle systems were really awesome, you got the enemy graphics to work as party members, good job . I may have to tell you that numbers in the 10s are kinda far apart, and the 30s are weird. Those bird statues at the end did 32, but the three was backwards, not sure if it was spose to be like that. The other glitch is when I got all the party members from the password, everytime I did the special menu or whatever, it would be a black screen and show everything as 0, except for level, then after that it would show the stats and graphic for the party member. It was weird.... Overall: I liked the whole demo, though it was only like 2 paces longer than your old one, I'm sure it has to do with mostly adjusting the battle system and making all the party members and their stat screen. I look forward to the final game, Map Editor Tech Demo: Well, although it was only maps and a show of your layout of worlds, I enjoyed it. the misty mountains and the forest were my favorite areas, and the fog in both of them got rid of the problem with the camera showing the map appearing *in default, it comes up suddenly* so that was cool. The beach was pretty cool with the boats and all. the area where there was a fence blocking off some area *big city I believe*, you could walk past the middle of them, but no biggy i guess. the HUD and Compass constantly disappeared, for what reason, I don't know. Overall, I am very impressed on your map making skill, I hope to see a game demo or game from you, congrats |

The FOG effect made the compass disappear when it over lapped it.
Check out my new demo with a lava dungeon!

Story: Yeah, there will be more story and cut-scenes added to town (including entering the mayor's house and getting permission to go into the dungeon).
Fog: Since this is a mountain village, it's foggy most of the time. I can tone the fog down if its really a problem and/or have no fog during the middle of the day.
Archery: Did you notice all the slowdown was gone? The game is much more fluid this time around.
Battle numbers: I don't know why the numbers want to turn all back-wards and change sizes on me. I spend a long time trying to fix it. I found one solution, but if anyone understands the best way to layer VFX I could use some suggestions.
Special Menu: The menu system isn't finished. This is just a demo of what I plan to do with it. The final version will be much better.
Length: A mentioned before that there wouldn't be much extra content in this demo. I spent a long time on the battle system and wanted to show off what I had accomplished. I'm glad you liked what I have so far.
P.S. You didn't mention the Waitressing Mini game. Did you miss it? There will be a cut-scene explaining the game at some point, but I thought people might find it on their own.

DW~ the fog was no biggy, though for some reason it did actually disappear at one time. I did notice the slowdown was gone, and yes, i did play the waitressing, though my PS2 is getting verrrrry old, that or my RPGM2 is really scratched or something, as the game got really laggy fast. Sounds like you are using 3D text in for the damage display, or it may be, idk, but check that, as if you display it on an opposite end, it'll be backwards. TFR~ Checked out the 3rd edition, and I have to say, the object placement and all was good, but for some reason, the lava dungeon thingy just didn't strike me as fascinating as the others. *shrugs* I checked out some stuff and seen that your HUD is working properly, good job on that , but yeah, I checked out the house too, nice layout and such. really nice map making TFR |

Actually there is a complete weather system running in the background. If you play the demo long enough it will start to rain as well.
P.S. I uploaded a new version of my demo with some changes based on the suggestions above. No major changes but it is a better version if you plan on playing it again sometime.
