from those screenshots it looks like there's quite a lot in it so far... it looks cool... seeing as there's more enemies that just worms... mind, the hud could probably be shrunk... as you don't really need those two circles for health, when it could be a bar... and some of the sprites look slightly small and hard to make out. sorry if that sounded harsh.

anyway, the 3d graphics look nice... and the premise of a worms rpg is good.

mind, I can't test, as I don't have the time.

When would testing start and for how long would someone have to do it?

Flamie
24 Aug 2006, 09:54
in a week or 2 I'll read over the applications and pick the 25 I need then it starts.
Then the testing is in multiple short phases, for exemple, the 1st phase would be testing all the city elements, hotel, jail, shops, npc's, houses, collision etc.
phase 2 would be battles, phase 3 would be quests etc

If you're pick as a tester it's up to you how much testing you wanna do, but if you dont do anything then obviously you'll be replaced :)

You mean those crappy games made using game maker? lol no thanks I dont think I have anything to learn from them. And I'm sorry you dont like RPG's, its not related to the worms you know in any way, the only thing in common is that the character is a worm, nothing else. So I dont understand why a worms RPG would be bad, if it was ducks or humans or elfs instead of worms it would be better? You make no sense lol

I think that's the biggest thing. You claim it to be a game based off worms, but the only thing it has in common is the characters. And the worst thing is that the characters, aside from the 3D pics, don't even look like the T17 worms whatsoever.

The quality of a game does not depend, in any way, on how long a game may have taken to make.
Besides, his game isn't finished either.

or at least back up your opinion with something.
Yes, that's the correct thing to do if you want to show someone what they're doing wrong.

If you notice, the only thing I said in this thread was that his worm sprites do not look like the T17 worms; and it was him that called my game 'crappy'.

"its not related to the worms you know in any way, the only thing in common is that the character is a worm, nothing else."

I stand with Plasma. I never insulted you or anybody related to the game. I just said that it's the stupidest idea ever. How would it work? It wouldn't even be in the regular Worms fashion, and as you said that it's not based on the Team17 Worms, then why bother posting it? Also, provide some more information. You didn't describe the basics of the game, what it's about or anything. And I agree with Plasma; you accuse his game of being crappy when he didn't say a thing about yours. The comment was put into context.

The reason I think this idea is stupid is because who would wanna play as Worms running around a town collecting items and battling in FF-style fights. That takes the whole fun out of Worms. And again, if it's not based on T17 Worms, why post it? Most people here are fans of those Worms, not these. :-/

Your second and third sentence there are completely contradictory. To sugest an Idea is stupid and therefore unworkable is quite an insult to someone who has obvioulsy spent quite a lot of effort and time developing said idea.

I'm sure that Flamie has nothing against Plasma and his crappy game, As you correctly point out Plasma said nothing to provoke such an attack on his crappy game. It was, however, your EXTREME arrogance that did. If anything you should apologise for your quite frankly stupid outburst.

You are completely right about this thread being offtopic. It has nothing to do with Team17 at all. It shouldn't be posted here. This thread should be in online orgy.

And by your logic, I could say your game is the stupidest idea ever because it has forumer sigworms go around in a platform/adventure fashion, which is nothing like the Team17 Worms games. Even Team17 has created complete spinoffs like Addiction Pinball and Worms Blast, and they still sold well.

If you don't like RPGs, that's your opinion, but it doesn't give you the right to call someone's work "the stupidest idea ever". It has all the elements necessary for a RPG, and by golly, if they decided to use worms instead of humans, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. You couldn't adapt the Worms' battle system with an RPG genre without creating a completely different thing. I'm not even an RPG fan, yet I still aplaud them for coding and getting out something different from any Worms fangame.

Wierd Battle Engine (I suppose it is the battle engine) (http://www.wormsrenegade.com/index.php?p=screenshots&id=6)
Cities? And what's more is that you're playing Worms not humans, so if you're gonna make a city, at least have it the right size, or have some signs that point out this is a Worms style city, such as in the 2D Worms where stuff was huge. (http://www.wormsrenegade.com/index.php?p=screenshots&id=7)
Not a big problem, but I don't think there should be blood. (http://www.wormsrenegade.com/index.php?p=screenshots&id=12)

I'm sure there are more good things and bad things but I used the screenshots as a basis for now. Also, is this an online RPG or an MMO?

Star Worms
26 Aug 2006, 05:50
You're judging a battle engine on a screenshot?
I don't see a problem with the blood and can't understand why you don't like it. I've never seen a med pack in a shop and yet sucessful game companies use it all the time in their games.

Personally I don't like the grey worms but that's not really an important aspect of the game.

Making a worms RPG isn't a stupid idea at all. Sure, it's been done a lot but that's no reason for it not to be done again. I would rather play a worms RPG than a poorer quality worms game because the latter is far more comparable to the actual game.

theres 6 different races of worms you can pick from when you create your character, I'm not gonna say why bbecause it would spoil the later-coming story line.
The npc's aswell all kinda look different. Why does any of it have to be realisitc, this is a fantasy game, so what if theres city for worms. As if worms using bazooka's was realisitc in the 1st place.
But Meh I'm not gonna bother, think w/e you want, all I know is that its been almost ayear of us coding, making art, making music, putting the whole thing together as well as we could, and personally I'm more than satisfied of the result considering our restriction (browser based etc)

Quoted from the FAQ on the WR website:

What is Worms Renegade
Worms Renegade is fully graphical browser-based MMORPG.
It takes place in Lumbria, a fantasy world, and it revolves around advancing thru a well developed story line by doing quests, defeating enemies, unlocking mysteries and solving puzzles.


Key word: FANTASY.
If everything that had fantasy you didnt like, then you probably hate all movies, all games.
Hell in your game, dont worms walk? Do you dislilke your own game? I cant believe people who play worms are saying that because something isnt realistic its badly done.

I have played your Team Alpha game. And its the stupidest idea ever. It also plays crap, the graphics are mediocre. Who would want to run around in a horizontal line shooting things with a huge colored worm? Its lame, if i want to play a game like that I'll load Contra or something that plays thousand times better and is much cooler.

Now, you have two doors, take this as constructive criticism and say thanks to me for sharing my opinion

or

Be a hypocrite and feel offended by my words.


If you have nothing nice to say don't. And if you think you're in the position to put down his work like that then i advise you, YOU AREN'T. You are a nobody, you created a crap game probably imitating one of those Madness Interactive flash games. And you blame him for making something that has nothing to do with the original Team17 game? Irony don't ya think? After all you made a real time sidescroller. Did i mention it is crap? Oops.

The game is awesome for many reasons, and not only because it uses worms as characters but because it uses community clichés and people from the community as NPCs. Something I guess you're not into because to start with you can't even play worms properly.

The last paragraph was merely to provoke you into an argument you can't win.

Firstly, the only constructive critisism in your post is that a game where you "run around in a horizontal line shooting things with a huge colored worm" is a bad idea for a worms game. The rest was just non-constructive flaming; which Faraz did not do.

Secondly:The game is awesome for many reasons, and not only because it uses worms as characters but because it uses community clichés and people from the community as NPCs. Something I guess you're not into because to start with you can't even play worms properly.

The last paragraph was merely to provoke you into an argument you can't win.
If you didn't know, all of the major characters in Faraz's game were the characters some of the forumers chose to represent themselves.
So I guess that argument was easily countered.

My intentions weren't to give him constructive criticism. Not at all. I was just acting the same way he did with this post.

Frankly, that's stupidest idea I've ever heard. A Worms RPG. Learn something from Worms: Fusion and my Team Alpha

If you call my post flame-worthy then so is his. Difference being I actually played both games so my opinion is fairly more accurate than his.

Needless to say I've been part of this community longer than you, or any of your forum pals and that i've never heard about this Team Alpha game.

That has nothing to do with the subject I guess. I just don't undertsand how him, and you, after his post wich i quoted above expect not to be flamed for it. Pretty retarded if you ask me. And hypocrite.

Not that i give a big fuss about a pair of newbie forumers whose opinion is comparable to my shoe's, but, from my humble opinion (mainly because i know nothing about programming) Flamie's game has had more effort and programming skills put into it, and the only reason why I'm saying this is because this frazza dude told Flamie to follow his games as an example. Wich is pretty amusing, considering what i said above.

Your earliest post (Nov 2005) seems to show that both of us were here before you (Feb 2005 for me, and Faraz was before me). Faraz's first attempt started in July 2005, and may have already ended by the time you came.
On the other hand, you only made 5 posts before May; so you may not have seen it anyway.

I still don't know what I did wrong; but I do suspect Faraz really wasn't expecting to be flamed for it.

In all fairness, Faraz hasn't seen Flamie's programming skills; and Faraz was only commenting on how the general idea behind his game was better than Flamie's.

He wasn't just commenting on his idea being better only. He also said Flamie's idea was crap, wich is something premature (not to say stupid) to say when you have no idea what you're talking about (in this case Flamie's game)

I can't believe you're trying to twist this around. Farazaz was offensive and got answered back for it.

You might been on these forums earlier, but I'm not talking about this forum's exclusively. I'm talking about being part of the worms community. You can ignore that though, i was just merely pointing out that, for a pair of nubbies you where pretty badass on flamie.

And, i will repost this, to see if at last realize how lame he has been.

I'm completly missing the point on why its stupid. I mean, a worms RPG is suddenly stupid but a sidescroller isn't? I'd try to be nice, but with this much nonsense and idiocy i'd fail.

Just to point out again:
The funny thing is how this thread was made a day after Faraz here said that a worms MMORPG would be the stupidest idea ever.
So it wasn't really based off Flamie's game itself, but simply based off the idea.

I can't believe you're trying to twist this around. Farazaz was offensive and got answered back for it.
Oh wait, now I know why people got offended by me.
You see, I have a broader definition of constructive critisism than most people. As I saw Faraz's comment as constructive, but premature (I can't find a better definition for it), I dismissed it as a premature comment attempting to be constructive.
I am truly sorry for the inconvenience that I may have caused.

You might been on these forums earlier, but I'm not talking about this forum's exclusively. I'm talking about being part of the worms community.
That would be very hard to be able to tell, unless one person was born after the other person got involved in Worms.
For example, when I first started playing Worms with friends, we would be considered to be part of the Worms community. But as this part of the community would have very little contact with other parts in the world except for the games themselves, we wouldn't be able to care ourselves to others in the community.
Unless you're referring to a different definition.

well... if someone says something bad to you... it's best not to reply by doing the same. it sounds like you're just firing back at him for no reason... if you don't like his game, maybe you should say it constructively, not just because "he did it to you first"

I wasn't trying to tell him I didn't like his games. The point of my post was have him realize he needs to shut up.

k... it just seemed that way to me, 'sall.

actually; this is the post:

I have played your Team Alpha game. And its the stupidest idea ever. It also plays crap, the graphics are mediocre. Who would want to run around in a horizontal line shooting things with a huge colored worm? Its lame, if i want to play a game like that I'll load Contra or something that plays thousand times better and is much cooler.

The game is awesome for many reasons, and not only because it uses worms as characters but because it uses community clichés and people from the community as NPCs. Something I guess you're not into because to start with you can't even play worms properly.

Regardless, the length between then and now would still be long enough to be able to say that we are not newbies, so I'd appreciate it if you stopped calling us that.

No problem. I'd also appreciate that before saying an idea is crap, you either obtain an educated idea of what you're criticising or point out some convincing or just well elaborated arguments on why you think a Worms RPG would be crap. This goes for you and Fraza, the former for saying so and you for basically defending him all the way until here.

Is this acceptable (for my defence only; Faraz did not reply):
I think what Flamie said best explains why Faraz thinks it's a bad idea:
"its not related to the worms you know in any way, the only thing in common is that the character is a worm, nothing else."

yakuza
4 Sep 2006, 21:53
That's what I ment with an inaccurate idea of the game, and that's why he shouldn't comment. I'll try to explain you with an example. Theres a shop called Komodo's artillery, (Komodo is one of the best if not the best Bngers that currently play worms) and even though the shop isn't complete I'm pretty sure it will sell Bazookas, Grenades, and the such. So that "nothing else" in your quote is inaccurate.

Again, we (I amn't going to deny that I thought it wasn't the best idea either, for the reason I explained above) were commenting on the idea of a worms RPG, not on the game itself.

So then the last quote you quoted yourself is there because....? To calrify things, you are commenting on Flamie's game:

Stop trying to twist things, a sorry to Flamie is in place. If not i don't intend to carry this any further, if you don't like the idea of a Worm Rpg start a thread about it, posting it in this thread will obviously cause the author, his friends and whoever has a bit of common sense to be upset.

Also, Did you miss this? (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=527783&postcount=27)

And about Team Alpha, yes, the program is outdated AND the programming is outdated compared to what I can do now, but I still stand by it. Plus it was all made by just me, but that's not really a factor as there are amazing games made by one person.

Hahaha, that made me laugh. Honest. Newb.

Look, there is no need to twist this around, you don't like the idea, you've been caught also commenting on the game itself (don't make me go quote) and it all was negative comments. Fair enough, could be treated as constructive criticism, but since you have no idea about the game and your opinions are inaccurate it can only be taken as offensive.

So just leave the thread, go back to work on your crap game (I'm still laughing that you put your games as an example by the way) and just get lost.

I beg you, please, do not post again saying how you where only commenting on the idea. If i went to your game thread and said "Worms walking on a horizontal line shooting things, that's the stupidest idea ever" you would also be offended.

To be honest, i was going to end the thread here, but i can't believe how you can use "I JUST DON'T LIEK THE IDEA LOL" as an excuse to hide your obvious flame attempts, are we forgetting the idea was also made/chosen by the author?

C'mon newb.
