Planet Centauri

I never said the game was doomed or that it wasn't coming out. All I said was that I wouldn't get my hopes up.

And yes, obviously being a programmer is nothing like a doctor or a fast food employee... It's called an analogy. My point was that I don't have to be a game developer/programmer to criticize something made by a game developer/programmer. All I said was that it doesn't matter if you have proficient knowledge about something, you don't need to have that knowledge to criticize something. Like, I'm a musician; that's my hobby in my spare time. Just because I'm a musician and you're not doesn't mean that if I write something, you can't criticize it. Understand what I'm saying?

I also work in the medical field and have nurse training under my belt; despite that, I can still tell a doctor that I disagree with his diagnosis if it doesn't fit. At the same time, even the common man doesn't need to have medical knowledge to disagree or want a second opinion.

My point is that I am allowed to criticze the game, despite my lack of development/programming knowledge. I'm allowed to say that it looks exactly like Terraria and Starbound, because it does. I don't think this game is worth getting excited about, especially considering how unreliable the devs have been up to this point.

 

Still being late, but the developer allowed me to show off his current TODO list :

• Item names and buffs
• Put the skills on the UI
• Sandworm unkillable
• Make yeti
• Change bird's cooldown
• "Lock down" blocks under trees/chests
• Block particles
• Ambiant lights
• Clouds
• Mouse scrolling for items, inventory, crafting...
• Night music begins late (The player should hear it on the sunset to know it's incoming)
• Even without wearing weapons, attack animations still happens and consumes mana

Just little things, so we can except it in less than a week, let's say?

Btw, thebonesauce : You could have said this to viridi militis too, people donated stuff and nothing ever came out.

 

and let me guess, we have to wait 3 years until they realize this "TODO" list right? (-_-)

 

Since yesterday he checked up around 3 stuff from the todo list, so...

Oh, also, there's a contest going on on a french community about programming. There are around 10 people in, and guess what, we can win a Planet Centauri key, eheh. I'll try to make something not too bad.

 

wait what?? I should join too (is VB allowed?)

 

Let's not go offtopic tho.

But yeah, it is (ikr we had a discussion about it on irc), so if anyone here is interested, check it up : (French) http://cbna.forumactif.com/t13097-concours-06-environnement-invisible

 

Asu, you're my dude and I can admire your blind faith, but dude, it's okay not to be super optimistic about something. XD

 

The prototype was out yesterday! (They kept the 13th friday idea).

Pretty cool!

 

Looks nicec. A little too much terraria. The trees are like a more detailed copy of terraria. Bit too manga ish for me.

 

Maybe it's just me, but the trees look kinda shitty. Like the generator for them isn't working so well... 2nd tree from the right to be precise. Notice the limbs? I mean, yeah, it's cool that they finally released what they said they would, but they need more work.

 

Yeah and the trees dont really match the background trees and colours.

 

I don't know... I just find it incredibly difficult to get excited about ANYTHING that looks like a Minecraft/Terraria derivative. This whole, "procedurally generated game with crafting!" idea is getting a bit snoozeville.

 

Yep, I told the dev. He said it's pretty hard to make proper trees and variations so they didn't have the time to improve them for the prototype.
In a future update of the prototype they also will release a better world generator.

Let me guess, we're on a forum about what kind of game..?

 

we both know that KAG isn't similar to Minecraft/Terraria , so you're not totally right my friend
KAG might be based on building and fighting but the gameplay is way to different from those games.

you know that those "procedurally generated games" are the bestselling indie games right?

 

Yeah, it's because children are stupid and want shitty games about crafting. It's nonsense.

 

I've been looking on google for "shitpost gif" for around 10 pages but I've found nothing fitting enough.
Seriously what's your point? Planet Centauri's main thing is not crafting at all. Just check where do you get your "info" from before raging into some game's thread.
You're also directly implying PC is a shit game. How in hell can you say that? The prototype is barely out and the release will not have the current gameplay at all. When KAG was at build 50 were you spamming "Yeah, it's because children are stupid and want shitty mid-age games. It's nonsense"?

 

guys could you please stop raging and flaming this thread? could we please keep it clean?if you want to fight then please do it on PM or in-game

 

It's just a proof of concept, they haven't done those animations at all at the time. So yeah it looked pretty bad. Better look at that I guess :

It was the first result on /r/pixelart (reddit) also. About the bike I don't know if it was supposed to be the final sprite but I don't think so.

 

wow that's beautiful ! but seriously AsuMagic ,this game is still facing some tiny issues (I am speaking about the prototype) I mean have a look at this

he is holding the sword in a hilarious way man
and why is this tree like that? (O_o)

BTW, we can't judge a game on it's start , this game looks great and it is still in the prototype stage . I can imagine how great it is going to be after few updates to fix those minor issues , also there is a huge difference between this game and terraria , I am talking about game graphics (still have no idea about the gameplay).
So maybe we should give this new game a chance
