Re: Hounds Of The Blade
If someone here speaks Japanese, could you ask him if he'd be willing to release the Nanocrisis assets? I have game dev xp + legit GameMaker. I'd be very interested in continuing this myself.
Indeed. This is something I've been thinking of myself. It would be great if he just "open sourced" what he has for someone else to modify.
The premise and themes of his games are frakking great, but the mechanisms and balance are kinda flawed and it makes gameplay less exciting than it could be. For example, you can hardly ever fail to resist "rape" unless you're actively trying to fail or you're all out of health. In the latter case, it's practically infini-rape and then "game over".
For example, if you were to make it so that attacking, using abilities and jumping would drain your stamina to various degrees, you would have to be more careful with your offence or you could open yourself up to a "surprise rape". But then again, you need to jump and attack to kill monsters so you have an interesting dynamic there.
Blades and Nano has great potential. I wish he would realize how many ppl love his games.
