    Hey!

    So I downloaded KiD and played around a bit, and I have to say, I think I played it longer than I've played just about any other game that was posted here and I was thoroughly entertained the entire time. I even got a friend to play and for the most part the online seemed functional.

    I'm curious, what did you make this in, or did you write your own engine? and did you make all the models yourself or did you buy some? and the animations etc. there's actually quite a bit of content in the game.

    Some things: I clicked on the M on the login screen and it started opening like 20 tabs in chrome and the game crashed. The swear filter is also super obnoxious. it'll filter out "as", even if it's in the middle of a word. Talking to a friend on the server was really hard.

    I also wasn't really sure what to do after I'd customized my character and my district. All my money was spent and when i did manage to kill a creature i got so little money that it just felt like it'd take forever to make enough to buy anything, especially after starting with $100000.

    Please get this game in front of some Youtubers. I think this would be a brilliant role playing tool on Youtube, especially if a few Youtubers got together and messed around in this world for a while. We were watching @raithza play, and it was incredibly entertaining. The game was a bit glitchy here and there, but some of glitches were entertaining in themselves.

    There's so much to do in this game, and there's so much freedom as to what you do, the world is very wacky and really "Kewl" :)

    If you submit this game to Greenlight it might get seen by some Youtubers. Again, I'd love to watch a team of Youtubers play this game, and that'd be a great way to spread awareness about it.

    hi raithza

    I am planning to fix the swear word filter so it sees "ass" instead of "as", the reason is, because if you want to swear at someone you can get around the filter simply by duplicating letters and addin spaces, for example "A s ss ss" will still be seen by my filter, since you brought it up, I will be making it allow as. it will probably be in the next version, thanks.

    You are complaining about money... I can already make a million in just a few hours with ""nothing!"", I will tell you the secret.:

    1. wait for a money tree to grow and pick it. you can also pick food and sell it.
    2. buy a max power cheap weapon
    3. click on the rubicons "sphere" to activate a random quest, click it until it says frag x critters, frag them and spin the wheel to win stuff and sell what you win, or keep it if you like.
    4. once you have enough for a power 6 trike (cheapest ride), buy it
    6. equip your ride and go to a checkpoint (make sure you know where all the checkpoints are)
    7. race pinks, but choose a high powered ride with a slow time so you can win, if you loose you will losse your trike
    8. sell the rides you win and soon you will have a million.

    lastly, I use Blender Game engine, but it's not a very helpful engine so I coded around a thousand scripts to make the game. all the content was made 99% by me, models, textures animation and sound, I did use a few free sound effects and textures, but they were heavily altered in gimp or audacity

    BlackShips: I am still polishing it, and am planning one new mini game(crafting) and a few little glitches to fix, after that I will be getting more serious about marketing.
    Thanked by 1EvanGreenwood
  • raithzaraithza
    Ok.. that's pretty cool, but I would probably never have figured most of those things out from just playing the game. It would be nice if there were some kind of hint inside the game to show you that. For instance, what if there was a quest log, and you get quests, such as "Participate in a race, get 5000 gold" or just something to point to the rubicons sphere (I still dont know what that is!).
  • EyeBallEyeBall
    sounds good... I already got it on my list!

    Regarding the need for teaching players about Kewl District within the game (like @raithza brought up):

    I don't know if it'd work perfectly in Kewl District, but Goat Simulator did a really clever thing with rewarding exploration.

    In Goat Simulator, almost every interesting action gets you some kind of achievement, kind of like doing tricks in a skating game (like Tony Hawk), so the player is encouraged to go around trying different interactions. And I think there is a list that players can look up where it tells them the names of all the tricks, and from that they can set their own goals as to what tricks they want to attempt next.

    Giving out points (or achievements) for different interactions that players do might also be a way to let players learn about what can be done in Kewl District. It's a system that encourages exploration (more so that giving out quests) but it's perhaps harder to implement.

    I don't know if I'm making sense, but if this sounds like an option, check out how Goat Simulator used points to encourage exploring the game.

    hi, I already have something like that, it does not alert the player though..... you earn points for and iirc 11 different tasks including a "hat of hats", this earns you trophies that you can later put in your district! anyway, I will consider a notification system to engage the player when they do a trick!

    Thank you for the feedback!
  • EyeBallEyeBall
    I just wanted to add, did you guys watch the tutorial? it is really helpful, it will get you from noob to pro in no time at all!
  • EyeBallEyeBall
    @raithza : The tabs popping up infinitely when you click the member button is actually a bug I have sorted out in a much much earlier version, I just double checked it and the bug is still not there. there is not way for me to fix the bug if it only happens on your machine. thanks dude!
  • shanemarksshanemarks
    When I tried to install this app windows 8 smartscreen prevented me from running it.
  • FengolFengol
    @shanemarks, you should be able to click More Info which will give you another button to Run Anyway
  • EyeBallEyeBall
    Sorry about the stupid warning, even if I sign it it still does it, I have to build reputation and I still don't know how after 10 years of publishing games, I found a site to buy a signature from but it's R3000 a month!
  • EyeBallEyeBall
    there is a new emergency version up now, it was hitting the server twice per second instead of once, and I added the noob to pro advice I gave to the help file and polished all the hiding places you exposed to me. oh yeah, I was not accurate about my saying the were no notices, just not for trophies, and, since this is kind of a critical update, I will get the rest of the stuff done in the next version, the server bug was critical! you should find the game is a bit faster and does not lag as much. cheers!
    Thanked by 1Fengol
  • shanemarksshanemarks
    @fengol, thanks will do that :)
  • shanemarksshanemarks
    Hmm I couldn't seem to figure out how to sign up. I can enter my name but i can't seem to click on password. Also I wanted my name to be "johnnytest" but the system seems to change test to random word. The little button on the end cleared my entry :(
    You might want to consider making the new user screen work like a standard input form?
    Also the white snow makes it quite hard to read the white text.

    Have you had a look at the game: http://www.urbangalaxyonline.com/ you might be able to take some queues from that.
  • EyeBallEyeBall
    edited
    @shanemarks , the little button on the end is what you use to select a field, I actually do have it on my list to make the whole field clickable! also, I have considered putting the snow behind the buttons instead of in front of it, thanks for at least trying to play! test is a part of the word testicle, testie, testy etc cheers
  • EyeBallEyeBall
    @shanemarks : I have since removed test as a swearword and replaced it with testi, teste and testy.

    Cheers!
  • FengolFengol
    It seems you're very worried about swearing. Why not instead provide an interface with a set of messages players can send like Nintendo does? Then you don't need to worry about filtering
  • EyeBallEyeBall
    I have now made it so you can select the fields by clicking on the field and little button! also fixed a few bugs and added polish! version 1.16 is now out!

    @Fengol : cool idea, I will think about it.
  • EyeBallEyeBall
    @theguyswhoplayed ... one of you was "PooPLorDJ" I have edited your district to give you doors to my district's, seriously it was a bug, and to reward you for the mistake I have give you many Trees Of Knowledge that you can delete off the map to get money, also I have allowed your name so you can log on as PooPLorDJ.... you were the first person to save a district, it's even in the menu at log on, it rates popular districts automatically!
  • EyeBallEyeBall
    @PooPLorDJ : I have added a door to super exciting district on the kewl incredible district map, it's near the grey gypsy caravan by the half circle piece of stone.
  • EyeBallEyeBall
    this is why I am not rushing into marketing, still finding bugs! anyway, enjoy this new version 1.17!

    That rainbow sky is pretty. Are there rainbows and planets and satellites things you can add to your district while playing?

    How is the crafting minigame developing?

    I'm sort of asking about crafting because I think Kewl District would be improved by having a strong gameplay loop to tie it together. I mean like in Minecraft you start with very little, then you get some wood, then you craft better tools, then you get better materials, then you make even better tools, then you get even better materials etc. There's always something to work towards in Minecraft that will help you work towards something greater. There's a little of this in Kewl District at the moment of course

    Not sure that crafting in Kewl District is going to feel like that though.

    Does Kewl District have baloons (I can't remember). I feel like some hot-air balloons on the skyline would feel very peaceful, and add a bit more holiday vibe (the game already has a lot of holiday vibe in it).
