Comments anyone?

Your making a game without a storyline? I hope it's not a serious game then otherwise it is very silly.

[Nanotechmonkey]

No no no no no. I meant that the storyline isn't finished yet and I won't release details till it nearly is.

[Busterman Zero]

If the storyline isn't finished yet, don't advertise it. Really, Storyline is the first thing I think of. All my other stuff spawns from that.

Ooooooh dear!

I played the trailer. What was the point in it? There were just a few images which told me nothing and looked terrible. But, that isn't the point of this post. The reflection business in the water is just awful. It's jumpy and slow and the reflection lags behind. This is a major no-no. I'd rather do without the feature if it means I have to avoid water for the duration of the game. I'm running it off of a high end computer so I doubt this is the problem. Please, do something about this.

[Nanotechmonkey]

Pffff..... Thanks Maxy.

New details posted up in a minute.

You wanted honesty...I pretty much agree with him, but the reflection wasn't completely awful.

[ObviousDelirium]

I must guess this game will have to do with religion...
So I hope the story is good or else some will say you were trying to make it pass as a deep storyline by adding religion in it.
Unless you created the religions for your game(though the heaven/hell thing sound like the real religions).

Oh come now Monkey. We all know that this is Maxy here, who's uber-critical. Err, though that still doesn't deny the fact the trailer was dodgey.

I resent that implication! I guess my language was a bit much, but my intention was to help. ;D

If we're assuming these religion are fictious there's bound to be a diverse cross-section. From the mainstream religions (like Christianity, Islam, Hindu etc.), the more 'interesting' religions (Voodoo) and the down right wacky (Breatharianism) - you have a lot of scope here. If you do it right I think it would be fun to go around stealing "Something of the Thread, Something of the Head, Something of the Body, Something of the Dead" to make a voodoo doll. The idea of heaven features in most religions, hell in most of those, so it can work in theory. Just don't make the mistake of making all the religions the same affair just with different attire.

Being critical isn't a crime. I'm a bit too critical myself. That's what critics do anyway.

[Nanotechmonkey]

Pffff..... Thanks Maxy.

Oh sorry about that. I didn't mean it like that. I meant it more like *sigh* because it took me a while to make. Anyway the storyline is coming along well.
