Scratch

Thanks!

Uber fantastical wonderfulness.

That's really all I can say.

It looks alright. If I were you, I would re-do the HUD, its a bit um...gross. Aside from that, graphically it looks okay, and gameplay like aight. I just think that you could spend some more time on the menus, and such.

What don't you like about the HUD?

You certainly know how to advertise your projects!

Also... If you haven't read my reply on your recent comment, mediafire isn't letting me download it... when I say "Start Download" it just redirects to the page... I think I'd have to download Mediafire- but they want money for it, and I don't want to do that. The weird part is that last time, mediafire let me download the first beta-test, even though I haven't signed up.

I guess you'll have to try e-mail again...

I'll try sending an email once I get my comp back (I'm using a different one than the one GQ3 is on).

Here is some of my feedback

Things to improve:
-Better (preferably original) graphics

Things I would change if I were making it
-Get rid of the cumbersome text-skill system and replace it with buttons.
-Add an animation/cutscene to accompany the screens with lots of text about the story
-Make it so that you have to fight some enemies to progress in a level
-Make the RPG elements stand out more (its like a platformer with RPGish enemies to avoid right now)

I will attempt to do some, if not all of those things.

And yes  I definitely need new graphics 

What other RPG elements would you have me include?

It seems unfitting. Perhaps you should put a simple bar at the top of the screen, to make it look more professional. Also maybe make the check boxes smaller and less in the way.

Also, whats with, "Not many more months" after your several months of already working on it? Regardless of how much content is laid on top of a simple platformer, averagely this looks like it would be done in about three weeks at the most. Well, I guess I'll see' what's taking this 'greatest game on scratch' to release when it is released.

Yeah, I do agree with Eafu, this game is a pretty basic platformer with some RPG elements that don't effect much. When I make the flash version I don't intend for it to be a perfect clone but built upon it with enhancements.

I want to make some elements from these games and try to blend them together

http://armorgames.com/play/2779/mario-combat //Good platforming and fighting
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/416507 //Good skills stats and leveling features

You probably won't be able to make it as good as a flash game but if you try your best with it it should be just fine for a scratch game. You can't really do too much with scratch if you expect your projects to run properly.

A LOT better!

lol, you really like Castle Crashers, don't you?

P.S. Darn it! I just turned that game off! D:<

Okay, I restarted work on this after a brief pause.

How does this HUD work?
