I love the message behind the teamwork the execessive scriptures will eventually get to me in a good way, and the enemies, I just love it.

What's it written in?

If there's any help I can give?

Are you going to sell this?

Misspelling in the video tutorial. "This bar shows the amount of spirit or enery you have." should be "This bar shows the amount of spirit or energy you have."

Changing the icons might also help the player. Maybe the candle?

Sure! The graphics need work, gui graphics mostly. Sure the game could use other new graphics as well but at the moment I don't have the time to focus on the graphics. So I have to leave the decision to you, on how you could help. So if you see a gui and texture or 3D model in the game which you could improve then please make a suggestion and I can give instructions more detailed instructions.

Also just reporting bugs and typos in the story dialogs helps a lot.

First, I'd suggest changing the player looks on the left. I think a great look would be to take a screenshot of a 3d model. It may be a bit difficult to do this though. The model would have to be tilted to show the full 3d effect.

Second, I'd really work on the GUI for the scripture system, its kind of tough to understand at first.

Third, adding a queue would make the actions a bit more self explanitory.

Fourth, I'd use a lot more rounded, polished look than rectangles, it looks more profesional.

Fifth, I'd add some menus for those who are keyboard deprived. Some options in the options, an ingame option on the enemy screen for attacking.

Sixth, I'd change the opening screen, its a bit dull without color.

these are just some Ideas off the top of my head, I'll take another look at the game to see if I can help more.

What audience are you trying to appeal to?

A little suggestion, at the beginning make it so that the player is weak, and so he has to rely on his brothers and sisters in Christ, but as he fights more evil, he gets more options, life, scriptures, and stuff like that. Just an Idea.

Actually the characters that don't really believe in God use the non-capitalized version , while brothers say capitalized.

But where did I forgot to Paul say his name?

Thanks for the feedback,its really great.

Amy has once again healed HIMSELF. I see you're right about the God vs. god. At least now where I am. Saving the game would be nice, but I know that's rather hard to pull off.

On a rather private note, Guardian reminds me of someone here.

Are there 2 Brother Michaels? Because if I read it right, Brother Michael both greets you, and is standing with Brother Paul.

One nice feature would be to see recent messages, in case you got too excited .

Paul forgets to say his name at the beginning in his tutorial, he just says, "hello". rather than, "Brother Paul: Hello."

A couple times, the Bible won't show up for the first text with the Deceiver, ext.

I just thought of something cool. You know how you pick up scriptures to increase your attributes, well what if Wrong scriptures decreased your attributes, and Right ones increase, so it displays the verse, and you have to remember if that's in the Bible or not. It already says something, but they don't look like real scriptures, perhaps you've already done it.

Just a random Idea, it would be cool if as you progress to have classes, like Amy's a prayer warrior, and Mark a Scripture Quoter. In that if you're a prayer warrior your far attack is stronger, but if a Scripture Quoter your close attack.

A suggestion for a new verse, would be:

quote:

---

Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

---

That's all for now.

It should save automatically, so that you can enter the load game menu next time you start the game and continue. But maybe it buggy? Or the load game button isnt in the main menu?

Yes that's almost exactly how it works Just that your spirit lowers when you pickup a wrong scripture. And the right one to pick is the corresponding scripture to the lastly preached scripture (agains't the evil spirit).

Nice idea. I was thinking that some brother prefer praying more than preaching. Maybe I can add something like this too.

And thanks for the verse suggestion, that's a nice idea about keeping the enemies away!

Yeah they can surround you quite well in some situations. This made me think about jumping off from the middle of them, could add a prayer which does that.

First, I'm looking all over, and still no "load game button".

Second, the Paul not introducing himself is seeable here, http://www.savefile.com/files/1113423

Third, not really a bug, but could you explain a little more what the different scriptures do? Like power ext.?

Fourth, who is this guy? http://www.savefile.com/files/1113432

Fifth, when I press the X button like what I would do on windows for anything else, the music keeps playing, and when I try to reopen it, it says Torque is still running, it then shuts it off.

Sixth, not really a bug, but Brother Michael's white text (not in the dialogue box) against the white overlay with the white background in the white church is a bit hard to read.

Seventh, (really awesome screenshot) the Verse isn't displayed in Fullscreen mode here anyways. Seen, http://www.savefile.com/files/1113463

Eighth, It'd be really nice if you clarified what buttons were for taking screenshots ingame. A simple control binding would work.

Ninth, when using the GUI for selecting verses and changing combat modes, I have to select the bottom of the button as opposed to being able to select the top or middle.

Tenth, unless you have large resolutions, (it seems to change automatically, haven't figure out what triggers it yet.) there is places with extra space, and places where other things collide/overlap. Seen, http://www.savefile.com/files/1113487

You're right about the book not appearing I wasn't targeting.

It'd be nice if we could expand on our selected verses, by like typing it in, like when facing fear I wanted to type in, "the Lord didn't make us with a spirit of fear, but of love..." lol.

I love the look of the Deception evil spirit, looks great!

When me and my Brothers and sisters in Christ surround the enemy its fun pwning them.

Eleventh, to verify my claim of that there are 2 Michaels look at this, http://www.savefile.com/files/1113514

Using attribute points needs to be explained. I don't seem to be gaining any, I've got the Breastplate of Righteousness...

Twelve, when I'm zoomed in I can't see any words on the Bible! This a severe injuststice...

I'm hungry, so I'll be back to test some more.

Anyway, on to playing...

Edit: Remember the old Dialogue problem with the others white on white? Well when my player prays, same problem happens.

btw, what engine did you use to make this?

[This message has been edited by arissa_nightblade (edited October 21, 2007).]

Hmm the bubbles the player uses for prayer texts are green with white text, correct? But if you move mouse over them they will turn transparent. So maybe this is why they were hard to read?

arissa_nightblade, I hope you like it. I used TGE.

Sometimes the dialog bubbles would be transparent green, but sometimes they would be white (I have no graphics card). A way I use to make sure that text is always visible is to but a black outline or shadow on the text, so if the background is dark, you can read the white text, but if the background is light, you can read the dark outline. Just an idea.

It's fun. Are there more levels than the cross-shaped sanctuary?

The tutorial went by a little quick. Is there a way that it can wait until I push a key or a mouse button before going on?

Great job.

I wonder if this is the same issue Mene-Mene had. Well I'll have to work on those text bubbles.

Hmm that must be the starting church, if you leave through the portals from the back of it in the middle you should be sent to first level. There are total of four levels plus the churches between.

Really, hmm. There should be two tutorial teachers and it should only go on when you do some action. For example when the teacher asks you to select praying verse it wont continue until you select a verse for praying.

I did notes two typos:
the Gaurdian says that the scripture is not for 'childs' and once there was a message that said 'Amy humbles himself'.

really good game!

JeTSpice: In a previous version he had little circles that looked like stickers to represent it. It's pretty much directly across from where you start.

Jari, you have awesome English. I hope to learn another language some day, too. In the beginning screen, a button is labled "not works." Perhaps "doesn't work"

You said you need some GUI graphics. I might be able to help there. Is there an example on the internet you could show me? Or perhaps you'd like me to look for examples of GUI's?

arissa_nightblade, yep it uses A* for pathfinding.

JeTSpice, yeah it would be great if you could do some UI graphics! Hmm I'm not sure of an example in the internet, it would be good if you could look because you already seem to know what to look for.
Have you done GUI for TGE before? I could make a list of the image files that contain the current UI graphics, if that is needed.

btw, that "not works" confusion was funny.

You see this target window that popups when you target an evil spirit or a brother:

Well I think that needs most of the work atm.

To change that the gui could be replaced with a single image/bitmap, that would be simplest. Oh and please ignore those black texts, they are left over from debugging.

If you have any suggestions on this please say... Or with rest of the UI graphics.
To view all the graphics (if you wish) see folder where the game is installed /darkening/client/ui . There's files like "memIconframe.png"
and "gameWindow.png". The later has the current window pieces that target window uses. And the first has the background for party members.

And when I said that new graphics are needed it was before I actually worked on new GUIs my self. But everything is redoable. (Though I like the style of somethings like the brother icons)

But please pick up anything you want when can talk about that more. But if it seems difficult to make new guis it ok, creating new ui graphics for torque isnt actually too easy if you work on the windows pieaces etc.

God bless.

JeTSpice, Okay I have hope the instructions weren't too bad.

Okay, here they are. Will any of these work?

[This message has been edited by JeTSpice (edited October 25, 2007).]

Btw there's actually folder called armorOfGod that needs completely new icons, for the full armor of God.
But you don't have to do anything you don't want to, I'm just list what needs to be redone the most.

God bless.

Referring to the six images in the order of:
0 1 2
3 4 5

Images 0 and 4 are the only ones I could see working as translating well into a Torque GUI graphic. The other ones (1, 2, 3, 5) would probably work best as static, fixed-sized window graphics. I don't know if you have the window graphic handy that we made for Exegesis, but that might help you see how it works for resizable window/panel images.

I see your armour icons. I'll make something for those.

Okay. Jari, will either 0 or 4 work? If not, let me know and I'll re-do. I think you're saying that a single image will work for the targeting window. But maybe you'll have other windows later and want them all to look the same throughout the game?

---

The number 4 would be the best because the borders are thing (need to save some space).

I think it's ok to have just one single consistent image for now. If I need to make multiple windows then I can edit it and make it pieces.
