03 Nov 07 Rant: My Next Project

I think the reason why Roach Toaster 2 gets so few feedback is because the game looks pale when you look at the screenies. It does not really show why it is so AWESOME and original. So I am going to rant about graphics.
I see games where the graphics are awesome, but the gameplay is “meh” to say the least. They get tons of replies…

I hate it when these things happen. I have an original game, but due to a lack of budget I can’t “spice” it up to be more presentable… So, in this case, a decent game gets lost in internet niche obscurity, never to be appreciated by those unwilling to try it because the presentation, ie screenshots, look dull.

Well, what can I do? You don’t really get quality “free” spriters that hang on until the end…

So whatever my next project is going to be, it is going to have loads of pretty nice-y-ties and an overkill of graphics. Perhaps then people will try it (and comment).

This leads me to think about casual games… In the future sometime I might see if I have the design skills (and patience) to design a casual game. It would an interesting experiment.
