First, thank you to everyone who’s played, voted and provided feedback on Roller-Derby 20XX: Mega Islands of Awesome<\/a>. You guys are the mega awesome ones!<\/p>\n

Some responses to some of the comments:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Music:<\/strong> I’m glad everyone likes the soundtrack. As requested by skintkingle<\/strong> I’ve uploaded the MP3s and they are accessible here:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.refrag.com\/game-dev\/roller-derby-20xx\/<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Title Screen:<\/strong> Glad you liked this Terry<\/strong>. I had so much fun making myself into an NES style titlescreen. I saved extra time on Sunday just for this final touch. \":)\"<\/li>\n
  3. Collisions:<\/strong> Feedback around the “fishy” nature of collisions is good feedback to hear and very valid! In reality collisions are working exactly as I coded them. When you intersect an enemy there is a dice roll based on their “aggro-level” (which is randomly generated at spawn). There is a chance they will hit you. If they hit you you will either bump forward, or there is a chance you will fall. But yes I can totally see how this isn’t very intuitive. \":)\" Surprisingly this dynamic tests better with more casual game players who seem to accept a “fuzzy” logic to collisions. The more experienced gamer seems to expect either binary rules or a way to pre-determine the result to better strategize. (Neato!)<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

    I have some ideas on how to build on this game concept (thanks to your feedback!) and hope to flesh out and expand on this “world” in the near future.<\/p>","time":"April 28th, 2010 7:39 pm","title":"Comment Response"}
