Well, that is an interesting start you have going here!

The walking was bit jittery, the collision detection was a bit out for picking up potions, the mana did not run down and I found the talking to the angel was a bit awkward, like I had to hump her to get something going (she needs collision detection). The spell looked good, but perhaps have the character turn and face in the direction you are casting, and the monsters were interesting. I liked the graphics too, but it needs some obvious refinement in some areas. Obviously this is still in the early stages of development, but it looks promising.

Instead of having to click on the potions, I think rather have the Panda walk into them to pick them up (This allows the player to click and hold the mouse button when leading the character and still be able pick up potions).

Keep it up! Hope to see this grow into something cool. :)

Just a note, when you click on the lady that says "click me" it creates a monster spawner. I didnt realise it at first because it wasnt that obvious to me.

This looks pretty cool so far. I have noticed, however, that once you walk past the graveyard for a bit then come back, as soon as the objects come back into view there is sometimes a bit of a slowdown, and sometimes not.

Darcnyss: I'm not sure why it would slow down... it shouldn't.. but I can fix it later anyway.

edg3: as for the lady monster spawner spawner yea I got lazy and didnt feel like populating the world
so I made that.

Nostrik: as to the collision and talking to characters I'm already working on it, it irritated me just as much as you.
the potions thing too.

thanks for the feedback guys :)

It's not bad, didn't know what that angel was for at first but figured it out. :p

Lol i suppose its fair that he gets to post this on the forums since i had it at rAge. Just btw i think we will keep the rest of the dev in utter secracy until we have a sort of working beta.

But really thanks for all the input guys :)
(lucky even if Skink wanted to post updates he isnt working on it until he finishes exams, but still every one give Skink a pat on the back for doing that much dev between tues and friday morning.(and he still had varsity work))

So hope to be giving you guys that beta version soon :D

I don't mean to sound funny or something but if Skink is doing the dev work, what are you doing Karuji?

Or are you the person who says 'Wouldn't it be cool if...' :D
