bineye Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Constructive, hmmm. Forgive me if this isn't to your liking, given your history on these forums. I found that when you asked for "constructive criticism" in the past, you don't appreciate ANY criticism and instead want "ooohhhh I love it". Ok enough of that. 1. When I put in a wrong username and/or password in the login page, I get a big white screen. This should be at least in the theme of your game. 2. 75%? What is to be added? I got all of 2 minutes of interest from your game, because the explore screen is basically the base MCCodes city page. Perhaps a section indicating what is to be added will induce more interest and give people a reason to hang about. Sometimes anticipation does more for your game than actually having all features available at once. 3. Layout. It feels so dull and dour. I am normally such a happy person, and 30 seconds of staring at your theme and I was more depressed than Eeyore. Quote
Djkanna Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 It needs to be more in-feel with the genre you've chosen. It's supposedly a post-apocalyptic game? I don't get that feel when I view the game. What does crystals have to do with the aftermath of an apocalypse, surely you'd choose something more related to the theme of your game? And I've not even signed up yet... One a side note, care to provide a demo account for the people that you are wanting to evaluate your game? Quote
lucky3809 Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) The ads are annoying and speaks you want cash NOW!! no player in their right mind will donate you will effortlessly fail at even having paid customers because of those ads, I know this from several games I play, I research a players prospective and ads do not sit well with the whole minority of players... But if you wish to have them on there it will only hurt your pocket books and game, it wont be hurting anyone else... most people already know why the ads are there for you to collect a minimal payment for them to click on them... which again speaks your greedy not a good impression at all for a game! If you want to do better remove them, and relocate them to your forum but not on the game itself!!... what is a whole 20 cents compared to the price of donator status from your players? Kind of stupid to want that whole 20 cents or whatever that ad pays per click over your own advertising of donator status.. total EPIC FAIL! Edited June 6, 2011 by lucky3809 Quote
W3Theory || Peter Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 I don't really see that as constructive criticism and more of a simply attacking him (to lucky3809) . I agree ads are not that great since you won't gain much from people clicking on them and the players will get annoyed from seeing them all the time, while it slows down the computer for users. To me the template is not that bad for a starting one, definitely beats a lot of other starter games I have seen. However, the outer glow on the text is a no no, plus using an image for text will not help with your SEO on the site. Another part of the login is that the actual login back is at the bottom so someone will have to scroll to get to it. You want to make it as easy as possible to have the users login. Quote
tezzmosis Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 thank you peter, yes for some reason quite a few people on here have a personal vendetta against me, and then wonder why when theyre rude, i respond to them rudely. yes i do agree with the ads being annoying, i am looking to integrate the removal of the ads with the donator status, so theoretically, they wont see them during the trial period, then when that is over, they'll have these ads and be all the more inclined to purchase donator status. these guys can think what they want about generating profit from it, but thats the main goal. i dont put my time and effort into things for nothing =P thank you very much for the kind words regarding my layout, i have put quite a bit of time into that. you and djkanna are right about the seo part of it, although aesthetically the images are nice, i should have more raw text in certain areas. yeah ive been trying to find a way to have a click to login option near top and it scroll to the bottom, but for some reason the coding for this doesn't seem to want to work with that page. i will find a way though! thanks again for the real constructive criticism. most of the people on here fail to comprehend the difference of that and just challenging me. much appreciated!

tezzmosis Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Criticism is the judgement of the merits and faults of the work or actions of an individual or group by another (the critic). To criticize does not necessarily imply to find fault, but the word is often taken to mean the simple expression of an objection against prejudice, or a disapproval. Constructive, hmmm.

rulerofzu Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 they'll have these ads and be all the more inclined to purchase donator status. More likely they will just leave. Quote
lucky3809 Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 No personal issues with you... I am the one that helped you code your cmarket so no one can hack it and gave you info... Im telling you how it is the reality to owning a game/business... if you take it as a personal attack that is your own opinion. I don't care what you are doing, it was feedback in which you asked and i see it as not a personal attack like you and Peter may think it was., get real! con·struc·tive [kuhn-struhk-tiv] Show IPA –adjective 1. constructing or tending to construct; helping to improve; promoting further development or advancement ( opposed to destructive): constructive criticism. 2. of, pertaining to, or of the nature of construction; structural. 3. deduced by inference or interpretation; inferential: constructive permission.

tezzmosis Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 i know this is just your way of helping lucky, we had our beef already before and were good now, i know everyone hates the ads but once i can get it figured out so that ppl with donator status dont have ads, new players wont even see them til their donator status is over, then at that point, they are going to be that much more inclined to be donator for real. which is why its mainly only advertised here, if you guys do or dont get into the game, no biggie, im more into it for the bug reporting, suggestions, yadda yadda. still a lot more stuff i want to do to it before i decide its fully completed, for sure. ;) No personal issues with you...

secret_life Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Hi, make description in text not in image, remove ads and remove keyword stuffing in footer ( google gona put you in the 50 pages - bad for seo ) maybe put google analytics but all of this is just my opinion ;) Quote
