Zero Punctuation: The Game: The Demo 2

People are stupid, and will inevitably make stupid characters.

Ok I'm confused. For half of you, it's too hard and some of you think there's no challenge. Ah whatever.

Now you see why game developers get such a hard time on every game made...I thought it was an average difficulty myself.

It was pretty easy in my opinion. The controls seemed pretty awkward, but it's no more awkward than trying to do a 0=to-death combo in Super Smash bros on an emulator.... With a keyboard.

Nevertheless, the platforming wasn't really that hard. The collision detection needs some work, but it's playable. The sound is seriously lacking. Needs more sound effects over all, background music in levels, music that loops better in the title screen, etc. I suggest going to newgrounds and trying to get some help there. Possibly even post it there. <.<

its too ridiculously hard!!! why should the side of a spike kill you!!!!

Ok first off, the art style needs a massive revamp. It looks exactly like that guy who did this Nahtzee satire review of ZP on YouTube (the one with a rather tight-throated voice).

Second, the quotes from Yahtzee need to be put at the victory screens and not the Game Over screens.

Thirdly, incorporate fast-talking as a weapon, not a short-range cone-shaped cock-beam that beeps when you use it.

Fourthly, the obstacles are a tad on the obnoxious side, especially for the first level. You'll want to make a tutorial level for people to get used to the controls.

Not bad but creating a game based on a popular medium can be good, but it would be nice to see one which isn't a platformer.

I made asburges syndrome Batman!

It's spelled "Aspergers"

I still don't understand why everybody on the internet is obsessed with being as pedantic as humanly possible.

It just makes you look pretentious.

Yes, god forbid that people learn to spell, the horror!

Seriously though, why not just appreciate the correction? There is a right way to spell things, and we all have to learn them somewhere. If we didn't every written language would turn into clusterfucks, where you would have to interpret everything anyone writes. Or even worse, leet would end up being the official written language. Is that what you want?

Haha good point but I've already had a chat with the guy and the disagreement is sorted out, but even though your anger was misplaced, er... thanks...

I apologize that my post seemed angry, it was meant as a bit more displeased, but I see it now. I guess you got the message meant for all the guys out there defending bad spelling. But thanks for getting my point and taking it like a true gentleman.

That's the second time in the last 2 days that I've had a disagreement on this site, and it's been resolved so politely. Another reason this website is so perfect.

Heppy Faic!

Sorry this post broke.

I think all the enemies should be crap games and Yahtzee kills them by spewing bile at them, or by criticising them to death.

In one of the early, early builds of the game the enemies were in fact walking video game boxes. You would not believe how incredibly dull, boring and lazy that actually looks.

And generic Nazis don't look boring...?

Trust me. Generic Nazis are way more interesting than a walking box. Trust me on this one. It won't be generic Nazis all the way through. The second level is zombie/dungeon/castle themed. There will be variety.

That was fucking stupid. You didn't even spell his name right. You didn't even draw the characters right. Even the 'jokes' you put were stupid, it was just YOUR own shity humor you just put in unecesary swears in every sentance. Why do fanboys always fuck everything up?

Spelt his name correctly. There are previous comments and answers about this.

Didn't even draw the characters right: Pretty much don't care. Using the art style to do whatever the fuck I want. If I change a character from what you expect, I can do that. It's my game.

The "jokes" - I don't think I've actually gotten around to putting anything in... At the moment it's just a basic platforming game with a couple of cutscenes. The plot/jokes/music/sound effects and all that crap are being worked on. This whole thing isn't complete. Haven't even gotten to a version 1.0 . This is the 71st "version" and it's current status is a definite "Pre Alpha, Pre Demo, Not Even Half Done, Project". I just like putting the latest one on the net every now and again.

This was quite fun but I can't get the other to gimmicks >.> I guess they unlock the last of the customising stuff ?

Which ones are you stuck with?

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Just suggesting that you make the controls clearer, add a Kratos facepaint (sorry, that's the first thing I thought of when making my character), have an option to toggle music/sounds, and make the game run smoother. It's not bad, but it isn't great. Sure as hell better than what I can make and with some tweaking it could be really good.

The Reverse Final Solution, I just can't get it

 

[HardRockSamurai]

I dunno. I figure "if there's going to be a Zero Punctuation game, shouldn't Yahtzee be the one to make it?"

 

[TwistedEllipses]

The create-a-mode is good, as are the death screens - the rest is just baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad...

Ok, well you drop him a line and ask him really nicely to make one. I'm sure that'll go well.
