Hi Guys
For once a post about something I did not make myself :)
One of my friends just finished translating his Pictionary game to english and I think its pretty damn awesome.
He is however looking for a bit of feedback but is not the huge forum guy himself so he asked me to post it here.
Check it out over here

I won't lie! THAT GAME ROCKED!
I couldn't help getting caught in the guesswork! Tell your friend he did a great job, and that it's a great idea!
I like that it tells if you are close to a word like "boat" is close to "sailboat". Some work has definitely been put into it!
I shall be sure to tell him!Quote:

Nice. However if you are going to call it "english" at least use proper english. For instance, "sofa" is a couch and "candy" is a sweet. Both versions should be accepted. Apart from that a really fun game.
nice game. great concept!

As I said write us a new wordlist! ;)Quote:

great game
Really great game! I do find the design a bit annoying, but other than that it's loads of fun.
The game is very fun and addictive. I can see it fitting right into miniclip or yahoo. I think it could use more graphical polish as far as windowing prettiness but that's the only minor complaint I can come up with.
One of those concepts that makes you say - "wish I had thought of that".
Does this mean you volunteer to write wordlists?Quote:

Perhaps the flow of the game just seems a bit shy of smooth. Seems like there's more action than direction and it's pretty confusing. Oh and is there anything that seperates this game from Yahoo! Grafitti? It's almost a clone.
This game is amazing! I love it! I'm addicted already. I played for only a little while and started to see some of the same words again, so just make more words. Don't want to win on memory alone. lol
Thanks for showing me this game, it's amazing and it's tuns of fun. Tell your friend this game is a great contribution to multi player flash games, and thanks a lot for this spectacular game. Keep up the good work, Agent Q's friend:)
It might be my peering at home. I host it on a home server for now its on a 40/40mbit connection, but who knows how its peered into the intertron.Quote:

I shall tell him you love the game :)Quote:

I've played this game last night for an hour or so, which makes it pretty good I think.
I first thought Imprisonedpride was being grumpy here about the cloning, but now I think he is absolutely right: Every detail (font colors, timer appearance, layout ,congratulations screen etc.) is copied from iSketch.
He has done good job on the programming, no it's not the new linerider, please make it stand out in appearance from the other pictionaries.
Sure, I would love to help you improve your word list, I'll write a large word list tonight and submit it to you.
You are the best!Quote:

As to it not being original, I don't really care about that, its a fun game and most my friends play it now i've spread it around on msn which is (to me) what multiplayer games are all about :p
As I said, its hosted in my private connection in Denmark, my host is pretty well peered in scandinavia but outside scandinavia the traffic might be routed via japan for all I know.Quote:

nice game, but not sure what it offers over say http://www.isketch.net/isketch.shtml or
http://www.shockwave.com/gamelanding/inklink.jsp
A few people have mentioned this so fare so I wend back to the developer and asked. He basically says that he wrote the game to be a better version if isketch.Quote:

- Its less bandwidth heavy making more people able to play
- He made it making him able to put it on the websites he like
The overall goal is to make the best of these kinds of games, so I am quite sure any feedback is highly appreciated :)
The problem is not that "it's just another pictionary game" to me. But that it's really identical in (visual) design to iSketch. Besides from the fact that shows a lack of creativity, I'm not quite sure what the makers of iSketch think when they see you making business with this.
On that I do agree with you. And I also raised the same concern to Jón, its quite possible it will have a UI redesign quite soon :)Quote:
