Agervis ; A unique MMORPG. Added video demo. xD

I'm leavin' it. Trolling this project is easy (and a little fun) but this guy clearly doesn't want input; he just wants us to be amazed and awed and say everything is perfect. I think the breaking point was when he claimed it was "very well thought-out" when it seems... eh... not. At all.

Games with gangsters, weed, and blue hydras on roofs. Neat.

I'm going to be honest and say that I close the video out 45secs in the video just because of the music choice for the demo vid; However after reading more of the comments in this thread, I decided to watch the video fully.

-First off, why are the clouds arranged like that in the sky and why are they so small? It REALLY suggests you can jump on them.
-The roof of the building where you can buy weed is not consistent in design compared to the other roofs.
-The concept of going to a public areas "chemisty lab" to make some dope in a bag is odd.
-The sign of the high school could pass as bad graffiti.. maybe. I wouldn't have known that was a high school if it wasn't for that sign.
-A random floating Island and a monstrous Hydra on the roof... Why are they here? Can I sell some drugs to the Hydra?

He can't.  He jumps 1.5x his height.  I am demoing the physics, afterall.  Aren't i?

Then I suggest you work on your "physics" more, as it really DOES look like he's jumping straight on a roof. Heck within 45secs in the video, he's jumping from floor to floor.

Ok.  So anyway I would love some good music, but soulja boy is in as a result of audio swap.  Why does the music even matter?

You're right! You should play "Touch My Body" by Mariah Carey when you're demonstrating your battle system next time.


If you want us to take your game more seriously, you should put some effort in the music choice for your video. If an author doesn't even put effort in something small like music choice, why should we even play the game?

......It is extremely far from done, and wtf why would you mention anything to do with the gfx anyways?  Considering this isn't even an official map or official gfx..

Okay, let's say we omit all the graphics from your demo vid. Since we "don't know" what your graphics will look like, all we have is a guy with a gun jumping around to Soulja boy music. IDK but somehow.. I bet that Hydra will still be there also. When most people first look at a demo the very first thing that crosses their mind is the graphics. If the graphics aren't good, whose to say that the rest of the game will look bad? When you create a demo vid you need to put effort in these sort of things so you can build an impression and credibility, even if things aren't official. It could mean the difference of people playing your game or not.

I'm going to leave this topic alone now. I'm liking that its not another jrpg RPG Maker game, however I suggest holding out displaying your game until you have more to show.

My final words:
“Don't mind criticism. If it is untrue, disregard it; if unfair, keep from irritation; if it is ignorant, smile; if it is justified it is not criticism, learn from it.”

No, its just annoying that I merely want to demonstrate the physics, and yet evenyone mentions every thing EXCEPT what I demo'd.  I got NO feedback on what I asked for, just a bunch of negative feedback on the thing that I didn't even make.
Not one single person gave me serious feedback.

Not one single person gave me serious feedback.  

O RLY.

Who would choose to play as a civilian in a game about drug dealers and cops? Not only is it a non-sexy job, but it sounds like you'd be powerless and completely at the mercy of everyone else in the game. Not fun.

Other than that, some constructive criticism now: Movement seems like it might be a bit awkward, especially jumping. You might also want to consider staying away from the mainstream idea of the streets and cops and thugs. Most people playing mmo's (and anyone with a brain) think that **** is queer. That may be a little harsh, but it's true. It'd be neat if it was a bit grimier and more realistic than a glorification of being a thug as GTA does(though, that game is a lot of fun, it's only fun when you cheat). I'm not saying that's what you're aiming for, but all the signs so far say you just might be.

But yeah, I agree with drenrin, it looks really clunky.

Ya Sry, the video didnt really sell me. It looked neat at first... then nothing really happened and it seemed really slow pace and... I wanna say Odd.

This looks like a good trail run or something. A good start of a project, but you need to improve upon the idea/concepts and really figure out where it can go.

Good luck with it man.

So four people replied giving serious feedback that didn't have to do with the graphics or music of your video. All four of those touch on the physics or the game concept in general. But because some of it was negative, it wasn't "serious feedback."

I know, I know, I said I'd stop trolling this topic. But I hate it when people just start lying randomly and go off into their own little victimized world where everything should be perfect and people that don't agree with them are stupid and evil. Stars alive, get a grip man. Didn't you say you were in college? You should have a decent grasp on the fact that not everyone thinks you're the best person ever by now. The world's a tough place. If you're going to show people stuff, you have to be prepared for the fact that sometimes they're going to say they don't like it.
