hello!
haven't posted for a good while, hope everyone is fine and dandy!
http://www.everybodys-golf.com/
simple driving-range golf type game meant to give a taster of the ps3 game 'everybodys golf'
please let me know if you find any major bugs
cheers!
the parallax effect is very cool
nice work
I sucked at it, I never find multi-stage aiming very intuitive.
The graphics are the nuts though, as are the overall production values.
Edit - Hey Jim, hows tricks?
wow that's awesome. is that bg a pre-rendered camera pan or is it a skewed graphic?
I don't think it's pre-rendered, just some very careful layering of textures. It really is hard to tell though....
I have found one bug though - the trees aren't depth sorted correctly, there's only two that overlap so it hardly notices.
A lens flare ? That's just showing off :)
Yet another technically stunning, well executed, brand whoring game mate. Great presentation and totally on brand, just as these things should be.
I love the way you can do a game and always put in something that makes me wonder how the hell you did it. Most adver-games fall back on tried and trusted methods due to the budget / time scale, yet you always seem to pull something quite mental out of the bag.
Wow, it sounds like I want to sleep with you just a little too much, enough from me now :)
Squize.
Only thing that really stood out was the text, when you hit the target. The rainbow colors were a bit over the top and somehow made it look "cheap". Also, as lesli pointed out, the controls were less than intuitive. Overall it was really nice presented though :)
thanks for the comments guys!
fine, busy I guess. Cat's just had dental surgery and car is getting a window fixed. The exciting lifestyle of a freelancer eh. Where have you been working recently - haven't seen you around?Quote:
Edit - Hey Jim, hows tricks?
thanks! it's a combination of rotating a skewed graphic for the tee area, skewing image and localToGlobal trees for the middleground then parallax for the background. It's a cheap illusion but fools the eye enough to give the depth effect I was after.Quote:

hey big boy, you still at morpheme? Sorry I haven't seen much of your work for a while, been drifting away from flashkit too much recently!Quote:

fair enough, the rainbow effect was copied from the game - unfortunately couldn't use the nice font because of multi-language issuesQuote:

the controls and instructions are lifted straight from the proper game, I wonder if something got lost in translation from the original japanese - I found them unnecessarily wordy and confusing too considering you only have to use one button... It's dead simple really!
Uuuuh, instructions...as always mr. PhreaX was too much in a hurry to go through them *LOL* No, the "pre-game" tutorial left me a bit confused. When I say less than intuitive it just means it took me a couple of tries, plus I should put in my signature, that I only take time out to criticize, when it's a game with heart and effort :D I could imagine the rainbow colors being better with another font!
Squize: You're such a GameMaker Groupie!
super :thumbsup:
thats all I can say really.
Wow impressive illusion. I looked again and again, and it's really hard to notice the trick.
The only bug I saw is after failing all my shots except one, instead of telling me "You're a damn looser!" the game tells me "Congratulations!"
