QuoteIt is impossible to add "atmosphere" to a game
You obviously haven't played enough games or maybe you don't know what
atmosphere is.
Personally, I'm against censorship. I think nudity and sex could add to games,
much as with movies and art, but I doubt anyone posting their games here would
do it in a good way. Blood and violence are also parts of what makes us human
(just read a history book if you need proof). Though not necessarily good parts
:P

Quote@Cactus: I experienced no lag whatsoever with Protoganda... :S
Yes, because I optimized what was there enough for it not to lag a lot. The
framerate does drop if you get far enough.
If I for instance would've wanted the bullets to be able to collide with the
whole enemy, then there would've been a lot more collision checks, a lot more
instances, and a lot more calculations to give the pieces decent collision
masks. Which would have caused lag.

QuoteBut PRotoganda was just repetitive.
Minigames usually are repetitive. Just look at the number one game on the site,
Grapnel. It's simplistic and repetetive, but fun nonetheless. Protoganda might
be less easy to like, since it's very difficult. But if you get into it, it's
quite enjoyable. I'll admit, though, that I really only made it to show that you
can make 3D games that almost look as good as commercial ones (although maybe
from a few years ago) with GM. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it play as good
without inducing tons of lag.
As for your game, it's pretty nice, and definitely well made. But it lacks
polish and the presentation is pretty rough. You should probably give the
lighting functions a try. Protoganda would've looked like crap without 'em.

QuoteQuoteOnly a few of his games are good, but they're are all staff
picks.
I certainly don't like all of Cactus' games. But other staff members
liked the other ones, so they added them to the list.
Why not? They're all good :(
Seriously guys, stop whining and make some better games. Moping around won't get
you anywhere. The YYG staff are professionals and most of them are almost twice
your age. They know what they're doing (except they forgot to Staff Pick more
than half of the games I've uploaded).
