"Good idea, needs some retooling"

submission: Feudalism

date: October 11, 2007

A very good idea, but the challenge seemed to disappear in the last half of the game. Also, the lack of a congratulatory screen or even some kind of acknowledgment upon world domination was a bit of a let down. If the role of diplomacy in the game were expanded, perhaps it might have more intrigue (that is to say, currently, states are either owned by you, neutral towards you, or attack you on sight. The first two are only distinguishable from one another by the ability to buy troops). There are a few minor glitches; one is able to click any of the public facilities in hostile territory instead of engaging in combat, which seems to be unintentional. A light scattering of typos through the game ('pionts' should be 'points') seem to detract from it a bit.

Still, I gave it an 8/10. Something like this must have taken a good deal of effort to program; I tried my hand at flash programming, and it's certainly not an easy thing. Hence, I tip my hat to you, designer. In fact, there are a number of features I like about this game; the fact that you can begin as any of eight separate characters, in four different nations, the fact that your character's visual equipment actually changes when you wear something different, and the presence of enchanted items to spice up equipment selection are all very beneficial to the game. Keep up the good work, eh? :)

I do tire of seeing people raked over the coals, though. I don't doubt that your efforts were well-meant... you show promise. I'm eager to see what kind of works you'll be capable of in the future.

Good luck. I won't pound on you any more -- plenty of other reviewers have done that already. Good luck in the future, and take care.

"Rather dark movie, but I liked it."

submission: Smile!

date: May 3, 2004

It's amazing how much you can say with so little words sometimes.

I enjoy your movies, though they are rather dark. I definitely have to agree with the underlying message.

Are you sure there are enough people on Newgrounds with the intelligence to comprehend a thoughtful movie? Well, it seems to be doing pretty well anyway... good work.

"An excellent conclusion"

submission: Memories Part 3

date: August 28, 2003

This ties into number 2 very nicely. The melody has now lost its 'haunting' effect and becomes more 'enigmatic'. Sweet, sweet stuff. ^_^

Althought part 1 had a few flaws, part 3 is a strong finish that more than makes up for the fact. Overall, I must say "Melodies" gets a 9.5/10 in my book. Great job! Keep up the good work!

Score: 10

"Yes!"

submission: Memories Part 2

date: August 28, 2003

This was an excellent transition from part 1 to part 3. The melody in part 2 shows similarity to that of part 1, but is much more haunting, enigmatic, showing both ties to and variation from the first part.

It still feels trance-like, but is totally different in style. This was good, though, this was very good, especially for a transitory part.

Score: 8

"First part of 3..."

submission: Memories Part 1

date: August 28, 2003

This was good. I like the three "memories" pieces, though I must say I think the other two were stronger than this.

The melody itself is really neat. I liked it and the sound it gave.
For some reason, the bass line in this one could be better -- it distracted me a lot from the actual melody. Perhaps it just didn't fit my tastes.

Still, I would recommend this to others, especially since it ties into Memories 2 and Memories 3, and both of those are excellent in quality.
