The-Glare's Reviews

[Death Metal Alphabet]

did you know...

The singer for circle of dead children is a child psychologist...

[Surface]

very well put together

Looked very professional. The flow and feel worked very well. I like the puzzle metaphor of introspection. Voice acting was excellent, too. That helps a lot. Overall they don't get much better than this. I will be anxiously expecting the next installment.

[S.A.M.V. 5]

excellent

Best episode yet. Actually I was wondering if we're ever gonna see Andrea nekkid. Seems as if she's about to re-enter the story here... I really like how you don't make the characters extremely neurotic, which is something of a trend here on newgrounds. They just seem like regular people, and very likable. Also I appreciate the effort you put into your animation, especially faces.

BaconMask responds:

I just try to make people how they really are on the inside... sometimes tough to do with so many charecters. Thanks for your review!

[Save The Village]

potato pancakes

well it's a good idea, but the cursor seemed too inaccurate to really control well. I think you should stay with the windows arrow since people know exactly where the point is at, with drawn arrows its a little sketchy. Also add sfx, sound is actually a huge part of any game. Also start out with an easier level and work your way up. You might want to include power ups, weapons, etc. Spruce it up and it'll be a fine game.

bigftballjock responds:

There are weapons and powerups, after each level you will be taken to the shop menu, where you can buy more stuff.

[Space Kick!]

yeah

Very well put together. Super smooth. Perhaps you could have it where you shoot baskets as in basketball.

[FTTS v.4 (Sprites)]

ok

Decent game BUT pressing shift 5 times in XP makes stickeykeys want to turn on. So you might want to change the controls. Also you should not take damage with the shield up.

[No Boundaries (beta)]

OMFG

I've never heard this covered before. This is amazing. No Boundaries. Holy fuck.

[Crushingly Un-Brutal]

pretty good

Not your best, but still pretty good. How do you get your recordings so crystal clear? Drums sound like they might be sequenced... only thing i don't get is that little synth line...

jarrydn responds:

Drums are most definitely sequenced.

As for crystal clear recording...I go direct mate ;D. Most people on NG go for the whole "mic your amp up" thing...but they do it with horribly cheap computer microphones. I do have some high end mics at my disposal, but when you go direct, you can do so much more with the raw sound.

Basically, I just run my guitar through a Boss MT2 straight into the computer. Then I route my recorded audio tracks through a VST effect called 'Amplitube' which is basically a tube amp simulator (and it does a damn good job) ;D.

Hope I've been able to help you somehow ;D

[Imperial March...but heavy]

kicks ass

Yeah, that needed to be done. Nice recording quality. Sounds like you nailed the chord progression, too. I've been playing the melody for awhile but I never thought to do it like that. You should do Luke's theme, it has an awesome, minor-y epic feel.

jarrydn responds:

Thanks for the review man :)

Probably won't be doing any more star wars themed tracks...but hey...you never know :)
