Re: Resident Evil Progeny
I just gave the game a play through and here are my opinion (sorry for any reiteration of mentioned points):
1) People already mentioned this, but the sprites for aiming and running are awkward or completely missing. But you already mentioned that the sprites are incomplete, so it will probably be fixed in the future. It would also be better to have a jump animation rather than having a standing Rebecca levitate vertically, but then I assume you are working on that.
2) I managed to get out of the bar, and past the dog and two zombies to enter a stone room with two door. I cannot enter the second door, because when I press Z the inventory pops up.
3) The sex animations are below mediocre in my books. The sprites do not match the zombie or Rebecca. It looks like two clay figures humping, but granted, as you mentioned, sprites are no where near fully completed. However, I must note that the sex animation should probably consist more than 2 or 3 frames, otherwise it just looks...boring.
4) Can't hit dogs with bullets... you already said you were gonna fix that issue.
5) There is a special weapon of some sort in the inventory when you start out, but you cannot select it. Unless I'm just stupid.
6) Also are enemies invincible? After filling a zombie with lead he just gets back up. Not really an issue in my opinion, because, well, they are zombies...you can't really kill something that is dead.
7) It would be nice to have a button to skip scenes. I know there is an option to skip cut scenes all together. But when I was playing, I didn't reach a save point so I had to go through the same bar scene several times.
8) I personally would like to see a higher grapple percentage, Rebecca gets whacked around a little too much before seeing any action.
9) Finally, the load screen when you re-enter the bar or through doors is WAY to long. I might be mistaking your intentions? I guess you are trying to stay true to the original game, by implementing similar mechanics and feelings, which you did. The opening "Resident Evil" was awesome and definitely reminded me of the original games. The controls are stiff, but not awkward, which really reminds me of RE4 (sorry never played the first 3). But I really recommend shortening the load time, unless the game maker itself is forcing the wait.
I might sound like I dislike the game, but really I am as excited as many other people to see this succeed and become awesome. Keep up the good work Z!
