Ok my question is do ppl hate long intro's?i myself dont and i got a poll from a few of my friends and its about equal on both sides so plz give me your suggestions...

I think it depends on the amount of gameplay

I think it more or less depends on what's in the intro. If the intro has some good quality stuff (something that hooks me), then I don't mind long intros. But ones that have the crappiest beginnings (ex: "Bob walked down the street and saw a girl. Bob hit on the girl. Bob got slapped. Bob went home. Went to sleep. home town is burned to the ground by some unknown force.") really make want to stop playing altogether. It really depends on what material is in it.

I started off my game with some opening disclaimers which is kinda boring to read lol so I added in some humor to keep things entertaining.  Then I made perhaps my greatest intro that I've ever made, the opening music for The Matrix Revolutions coupled with some logos and stuff, and a cool scene where I warp into the Matrix lol

I'm not sure how your intro is set up, but I suggest that anywhere that you feel the intro starts getting boring, try to find a way to add some momentum so that it doesn't slow down.  Try not to make it too long, even I admit that my intro is kinda long but to help make things interesting while I read off the disclaimers I add some things to keep the player interested.  Like I have Stone Cold Steve Austin and Master Chief walk onto the screen with their music playing in the background.  Then all of a sudden Sonic the Hedgehog runs around and he's like "Don't forget about me!"  Oh and then I threw in a pic of some Hentai lmao no way you're gonna loose people's attention with some Hentai

Most people'd choose to keep their disclaimers at the end of the game, I guess it depends on how much material you borrow from other sources (I borrow quite a bit ) so if most of your game is original you can just shove that crap at the end.  The intro while it seems not as important it really is because like in a movie (The Matrix Revolutions is a good example) the intro is filled with eye candy and cool music in the background that gets your attention so that once the movie starts you're prepared for the fifteen minutes of absolutely no action lol

Which brings me to another good piece of advice: try to get some action going as soon as the intro ends.  Think of The Matrix Reloaded this time.  Just a mere 30 seconds after the intro you see Trinity driving a motorcycle off the top of a building!  I'm not saying to drive your character off a building or nothing but make sure something exciting happens right away to keep people interested.

Just remember: when someone downloads your game and gets ready to play it, they're expecting to have a fun and exciting time.  Give them a reason to play the entire game.  Hope this kinda helps, sorry if I'm rambling on I do that a lot

oi. no mentioning hentai here! this is a decent forum so please keep it adult material free =D

anyways, long intro, short intro, wierd intro.. whatever intro. it's all good IMO. as long as it related to the game you're making. like for example.. a war story. it starts out with an intro of the cause of the war and such.

If I see hentai in a game, I stop playing. It trashes up the game. Games are better off without it.

[Gothxtreme]

well this project has nothing to do with that but i do enjoy some of those games. . .if i EVER make one i will be putting a warning and so forth before the game even begins. . .but thnx for the heads up lol . . .This games stroy line is about the peoples hate manifesting itself into dark creatures and the "hero"must find a way to stop it. that pretty much is it in a nut shell it sounds boring saying it like that but if you want a better description of it please ask. . .

u can make 2 or more intros.in my game the first intro is a screen with a lot of waterfalls.the real intro appears in the middle of the game, when the hero discover who is he.

Also, since you are only 11, and you have hentai, since he said it is adult material, you have CRIMED!

If hentai is adult though
