Author Topic: Beta version of Lego Wolf3D released....  (Read 8222 times)

I tried replying to the original thread about the game here:
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=98354.0

But it says that the topic is too old...

Yesterday I released a new version and it includes a Gretel Grosse level...

Still looks absolutely horrid, like you made it with a 90's 3D renderer.

You know, I saw this on ModDB and said to myself, is this really necessary? I can just go play Wolfenstien.

still seems like a cool idea

BTW what do you think of the graphics of Minecraft then?
http://www.minecraft.net/
It has sold more than 500,000 copies so far... with $10 of pure profit going to the game's creator with each sale.
Also in my game there are portals in the pacman level... I don't remember portals being used in 90's 3D renderers.

I own Minecraft, and I love it.
The difference is that minecraft is aesthetically pleasing, yours is hideous, like a game made in the style of 90's 3D computing:


"Good graphics" is not the same thing as being aesthetically positive. DOOM looks fantastic, for instance, even though the technology is way out of date.

To go more in to depth:
-The rendering is awful, everything about the 3D world and how it looks is hideous.
-The animations and the models are less than sub-par.
-The blood and gore is EXTREMELY out of place, this is something a child would do.
-The reflectionmaps on the minifigs are too intense
-The mix of poor models and poor animations and effects, yet good lighting and shadow rendering is also ugly.
-The sounds are misplaced and inconsistent
and lastly, the concept itself is just dumb and will never pay out. If you are releasing it for free, fine, the game will never take off though. It tries to be Wolfenstein, but has no nostalgia value, so it's worthless for more than one play and a "Oh, I guess that's cool" from gamers. Wolfenstein has extremely bland gameplay for today's market, so it only appeals to nostalgia, and as I said, you removed that factor. Your game maintains the same gameplay, no innovations or anything that would make it attractive. If you expect to sell this, you might as well go set up a lemonade stand. I don't know of anyone who would purchase something like this, there's simply no reason to. If you made this as practice or to add to a portfolio, then neato, but you should really move on and start a new project. There's a reason your last thread died with 4 pages and ended with a double post by you.

I'll give it ago cause I like any game if it's fun

1. It is free

2. It has better music

3. More and better sound effects from other Wolfenstein games (including "Return to Castle Wolfenstein") and from me ("New High Score" message)

4. Better graphics technology including curved walls, reflective floors, etc.

5. Proper 3D enemies and objects rather than 8 views that are pixelated up close.

6. 3D bosses rather than always seeing the front view

7. The "WolfPack" Wolf3D Pacman level that lets you get the power pellets and eat the ghosts.

8. Has a partly finished original level which does a few things that are impossible in the original game

9. Has dismemberment where you can shoot or knife off people's head, limbs and finally cut up the torso

10. Has the Ubermutant which is a spear of destiny boss

11. You can set people on fire with the flamethrower or blow them to pieces with the bazooka

12. It has 3rd person views that can be toggled using "Y"

13. You can fly around in spectator mode and see things like patrolling guards

14. There are female enemies and also a nudity cheat:

I just read through the last thread and realized I said the exact same thing about the 90's rendering bahahaha

Whoa holy stuff I actually used the same dark forces image too, weird.

Now I remember why I stopped arguing with you in the previous thread. You're a child.

...Your game maintains the same gameplay, no innovations or anything that would make it attractive.
In the new partly finished level you can follow Hans as he patrols around (this wasn't possible in the original game because you always saw Hans's front). Also in that level you have a small number of rockets and you need to save them up for a group of 16 guards that are in a formation outside the building. And there is a flamethrower which sets people on fire. Also the "WolfPack" level has some innovations - a portal on each side, you can cheat by jumping on the low walls, it is in first-person view...

I thought it would be better to finish that game (well not all the levels - just the gameplay side).

Fortunately most people on other forums and on youtube aren't so negative... there is a large proportion of negative people on the blockland forums for some reason...

A new weapon and enemey formations aren't innovative at all. The Pacman level isn't innovative because it's just a rip off of Pacman that really seems unneccasary; it has nothing to do with Wolfenstein.

Most people on other forums and youtube are also god damn idiots.
