Metalheart Front take 2

[Briosafreak]

Just imagine those pics on a real box, and tell me number 1 isn`t much better, the second one looks like amateur fanart.

 

[Dresnar]

At first I liked the first one but after ya compare them the second one is much better. Just because it gives you a quick view of the enviroment and character. Some people that shop for games unfortunatly "judge the book by its cover" so to speak.

You could put her in some clothing / armor that isn't just floss & artfully placed nipple sized rivets, and maybe rework the art - the proportions seem a little off to me somehow.

 

[ratsnack]

why she look like anime chick from that ghostintheshell ripoff by bungie? Maybe make her eyes normal? First one reminds of EXIGO cover and I just prefer to see a frontt with some ENVIRONMENT on it. Instead of some blokes metal heart or whatever. Im downloading the demo to this game now I hope its awesome and russia rules.

anyway my suggestion is to combine the art style or first one with the imagery of second one. Or make her boo........<end transmission>

I'm downloading the demo to this game now I hope its awesome and russia rules.

Don't do that, the demo is terribly bugged and even the creators denounced it as unofficial, unauthorised and practically stolen from their development studio.

Welcome, BTW.

Go with the Hoe!

...number two, that is.

Neither: This one would be a more accurate portrayal of the box's
contents:

Back-cover highlights:

*Heart-pounding action as you struggle to avoid it
crashing to the desktop due to being riddled with bugs!
*Guaranteed unintelligible gibberish! Localised by hobos!
*Dubious infringement of Fallout copyright!
*No confusing nonlinear plots!
*Unlimited meaningless FedEx quests!

 

[Per]

Are you talking about Metalheart or Restricted Area?

Oops, sorry, my mistake. After reading the RA reviews I thought your previous Metalheart post was actually about that.

Edit again: How hard can it be to make a good post-apocalyptic game anyway?

 

[Sandelfron]

Are you talking about Metalheart or Restricted Area?

They are both pretty dire, but I meant MH.

EDIT (in reply to your edit):

I'd say no more difficult than any other crpg. At the end
of the day a crpg (or any computer game) is *simply an
interactive database with model animation, a graphical
front-end and path-finding.

It also depends on how much would be 'black box' - coding
everything up from scratch would be more difficult than
using a 3rd party engine (there are many cheap licences).

You'd also need a 2D/3D artist, musician, etc. Details
about more roles can be found in any softeng textbook.

One thing that helped make complete turkeys out of RA
and MH is insufficient testing. Any company/group that
neglects to have adequate testing can be sure it'll be
cheap in the short term, but it'll bite them in the arse
when they get a reputation for shoddy work.

*For a given value of 'simply'.
