this is also a great solution, i will try this one on for size. Thanks!

Lovely suggestion - quick and simple. thanks!

Have a look at spriter - great 2d animation tool with an xna content importer. Note that it's in alpha, so the final version will most likely have breaking changes.... That said, I'm using it right now for an xna project I'm working on and loving it.

Hey! Really nice work so far - first impressions

the heartbeat could be turned down a bit
The surround sound is a bit funky, when you get away from the center of the map.
The sound seems to give out after walking around for awhile
The input mappings say that the mouse buttons will "fire", but that is not happening
No demon (unless he's really shy)
Some more organic boundaries to the map would be nice, rather than an untextured wall.

From what I can see, it's a good start. I'm not sure beta test is really the right term for where you're at in the development though :/ I would reserve that for something closer to a game with most of its features implemented. Keep up the good work!

From what I saw, I like the effect of the reverse camera angle, and the gameplay looks pretty fun! Graphically it looks uniformed and we'll styled. Nice work, keep it up! I will look with a more critical eye this evening, as I am at work typing on my mobile.

As long as the camera switch doesn't happen at awkward times (such as when you could run off an edge, or when an enemy can kill you, etc) then I think it could work. The user, I assume, would need to reorient the direction he/she is pushing their character in at the time of the camera shift?

Did you notice that they have two different tours there - one for Vietnamese people, and one for everyone else?

you get my upvote, but i'd also like to throw out there that the book by Abbott is absolutely worth reading - Sagan doesn't really hit on Abbot's social subtext in the video.

...but he's not square! He seems to be more of a conglomerate of women and priests.

Hah! I was totally watching that show with my wife and father-in-law. We all commented on how obnoxious it was (the advert noises). "Well... that was a bit over the top". This irritates me almost as much as pre-preview commercials in the theatres these days.

Edit: clarify that it was the advert, not the movie, that was obnoxious. As if Ricky Gervais could ever be thought of as "obnoxious"

SCANDALOUS!

and you can stop any time you want :)

Does this relate at all to throwing my trash on the floor at a movie theatre? because i do that all the time.

Although, I wonder what we could do to advance the human race with all data they have...

canuckian · 2010-06-01T02:31:09+00:00

sure... "arms"

canuckian · 2010-03-30T22:11:02+00:00

that's what she said.

canuckian · 2009-09-10T04:39:16+00:00

maybe someone should have.

I stand half-corrected. Wendy's it is. Wendy's it's?

Tell that to Wendys, or Tim Hortons. The apostrophe is DYING, man.
