Denvish's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Definitive guide to FPS!]

.

Very ambitious tutorial, must've taken a while to write. The problem you have is that the average Flash learner will probably be fed up of reading by the 3rd page; and a lot of the people who vote on movies on this site don't use Flash, so they'll go by the look of it, rather than the content. There was a lot of substance to this, but the interface could have been more attractive (not saying it was bad, I've seen a LOT worse).

I will say, as I've said before, that I don't think people who haven't managed to get a proper Flash through the Portal have any right to submit tutes; however, I think you're an exception, since you obviously know what you're talking about. So go back to Flash and make & submit a kick-ass FPS...

[Flash Stuff Tutorial]

.

Could have been a whole lot better.
The tuts were good enough for basic users, but the presentation of this flash was awful. Why didn't you take a little more time to produce something that looked good? It wouldn't have taken much to line the buttons up, put a frame around it, make the buttons better-looking... if you're going to submit tutorials for new users, you should be setting an example. Tht may have taken a while to build, but the overall look was of something that was thrown together in minutes.

thanx ill take this and put it into my next tutorial.master.

[Sweet Dice]

.

I have to agree with the guy who said they're not random. Unfortunately, I can't remember the fix, either =(

Nice looking dice. Not sure how much use they'll get in a real-life situation, but definitely a novel idea. The only time I would think of using them would be for yahtzee.

Anyway, good job. You've got some great AS skills

[Reploid War : Gaiden v.1]

.Hmm

yeah the graphics look very nice, and the music fits well. But you don't give any indication of how good the gameplay's going to be, so it's hard to score this. I hope the finished product lives up to the hype...

[Robert, the valient elf.]

.

Would have been better with a quicker framerate I think.
I liked the idea of the pixel-style animation, but I'd like even more if you added some colour. Gameplay was pretty repetitive, and got boring very quickly. Would be a good basis for a game, but needs a lot more depth. Good choice of music.

The-EXP responds:

Yeah, thanks for taking the time to see Robert's origin...it helps to understand the game.

[John Kerry Magic 8 Ball]

boombastic jazz style

It was an OK take on the old 8-ball thing. I seemed to get 'No Clue' an awful lot. Animation was pretty good, sounds fitted well. Entertaining for about 3 minutes.

Oh yeah, and you really should credit the audio to the band (Dream Warriors) when you submit.

[Dirt Bag Derek]

.

Basic graphics, good (funny) background story. Fun enough game, but not entertaining for any length of time. Maybe use moving targets next time, to add a bit more variety. Sound FX and music were fine.
OK game, could just use a bit more depth.

[Heaven or Hell]

.

Graphics: Good at the start. Going to hell animation needs improvement.
Animation: See above
Style: Good
Music: Both good choices
Sound FX: Fine
Voiceover: Excellent
Gameplay: A bit annoying
Coding: OK
Other: Strange choice of subject, but cool. Liked the zealots

Overall: Yeah. Simple game, but well enough made. Good job.

TheOtherTruth responds:

Thank you for your review.

I wish it had felt simple when I was making it.

Limited coding, 34 scenes

[Treaty Thieve]

OK

Good enough version of dodgeball, cool background. Everything's a little small, and it could do with a highscore table. Good work though.

[Election 2004 Quiz!]

It was OK...

just not really the most exciting Flash ever. Coding was OK, graphics were poor. Good choice of song. Could have been presented a whole lot better. Good luck with your future work, hopefully your Flash skills will improve over time.
