PALADIN game pre-release review

Posted by JAZZA Nov. 13, 2007 @ 5:21 AM EST

well I'm glad a lot of you enjoyed the youtube trailer of the paladin game preview.

i'm happy to share with you a written review from Luksy of c404 of a VERY unfinished version of the paladin game.

SEE THE REVIEW HERE

notes on the version of the game that he played:
there was no finished boss, of flight system
there were minor flaws in combat that are being worked on

although it was unfinished it gave him a good idea as to how the game is played and the quality of which my very talented scripter and I aim for.

on another completely separate note, i completed a four day director's boot camp in the city the other day, scripting, casting, filming, editing and starring in a short film, it was a very fun event. It has motivated my to buy a nice HD camera and write up a little solo project i amd going to script, direct and shoot on weekends until i can share it with those of you interested.

Nov. 13, 2007 | 7:37 AM JAZZA responds:

thanx!

Nov. 13, 2007 | 7:23 AM studio-nightbird says:

dude i envy you. See I'm currently working on a project called 'Syndacite'. starts as a series. ends as a motion picture. But you've done all your work. I keep looking at you for insperation. so i don't hit my animatorsblock.

and...your and AUZZIE :D.

keep up the AWESOME WORK

Nov. 13, 2007 | 7:39 AM JAZZA responds:

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!

haha im so glad you like my work. also the review is very friendly in how it decribes my series as a 4 year development and progress into a DVD. the series started on a whim and the DVD was thought up on a whim. still im glad it turned out ok but yeah, it takes a lot of effort.

good luck with your work man, i wish you the best

OI OI OI!

Nov. 13, 2007 | 3:58 PM JAZZA responds:

Nov. 13, 2007 | 9:59 AM Billy-Bean says:

I like to play games.

Nov. 13, 2007 | 3:58 PM JAZZA responds:

Nov. 13, 2007 | 10:59 AM aldlv says:

I would like to see it as soon as possible...
but I know.. you haven't finished...
but... it sound great.. the review was very helpful
so... i'll be waiting dude... XD

Nov. 13, 2007 | 3:59 PM JAZZA responds:

i'm gad you look forward to it, i've never have anything of mine reviewed so im glad it wasn't mean or anything :P


Nov. 13, 2007 | 11:30 AM Splurda says:

awesome! are you planning on making the combos longer? ATM all i want to do is the turn undead spell, I MUST SEE WHAT IT DOES!!! T-T

Nov. 13, 2007 | 4:00 PM JAZZA responds:

you have to be certain levels to use certain spells, IE 2 to use aura shiels, 4 to use aura blast, 5 to use shockwave blah blah blah. stops people automatically getting the awesome spells


Nov. 13, 2007 | 11:32 AM Splurda says:

oh and how come all the awesome animaters are AUSSIES?!?! adam phillips and you are the best animaters on this sight! (i dont care what scores say, you are!) i wish i was an aussie, damn english weather, all we get is rain *continues rambling*

Nov. 13, 2007 | 4:02 PM JAZZA responds:

lol thanx for the compliment. theres as much good animators in america and europe, i just suppose they have JOBS. i wouldn't mind driving to adam's house one day....


Nov. 13, 2007 | 1:48 PM MrFinland says:

Wow the review told me some good stuff. It is gonna be even better than I had expected! Well done. :D

Nov. 13, 2007 | 4:03 PM JAZZA responds:

then im very glad it was made :D
anything that helps spread the excitement is good to me :)


Nov. 13, 2007 | 2:23 PM godsondagger says:

Hey just wondering are you gonna make this game for any consoles?
Cause with the dvd that would be a good idea.
Although to make it a successful game it'd have to be at least eight hours long :(

Nov. 13, 2007 | 4:04 PM JAZZA responds:

*sigh* i cant reveal anything too soon.... but theres a possibility. i've had my share of chats with the behemoth


Nov. 13, 2007 | 2:38 PM Lazyfeet says:

I'm really excited for this game because you're a favourite animator of mine. I can't believe how fast you work on these things but still make them look stunning. For instance I've been working for one and a half months on a christmas project and I'm already struggling and getting a bit lazy. However It's people like you that keep me from stopping because I can see you really appreciate the reviews and publicity and unlike some animators you take time to answer reviews and keep people updated and I'd really like to be able to do that :D

So two questions

1) Is winning a daily away as good as people say it is :)
2) How do you prevent yourself from just giving up?

Thanks for you time and entertaining me, infact I'm going to watch some of your animations now :D

Nov. 13, 2007 | 4:08 PM JAZZA responds:

thanx so much, for the compliments and compliments and compliments :D

1- it's kewl to get awards but, theyre only for bragging rights in the end. some of the really known stuff didnt get anything, i dont think charlie the unicord or salad fingers got any attention instantly.

2- i get really excited about projects. i used to be on the verge of giving up on everything, IE why i have so many episode 1's and not so many episode 2's. i think with paladin i stumbled across a theme and style i enjoyed more, and that the audience responded to more. i worked with that as much as i could and trust me, i still had close give-up points.

thanx for showing your appreciation :D


Nov. 13, 2007 | 4:37 PM Demonator911 says:

I...LOVE....YOU! You are a god, in flash, (and soon to be games ~_o) When this comes out, I shall play it as if it were my life depended on it. CAN'T WAIT!

Nov. 13, 2007 | 8:38 PM JAZZA responds:

haha so glad, i can't wait to share it with ya mate


Nov. 13, 2007 | 7:16 PM jackster20 says:

this game is really awesome

Nov. 13, 2007 | 8:39 PM JAZZA responds:

thanx heaps, wait til u play it, youll like it even more then


Nov. 14, 2007 | 9:44 AM MrFinland says:

Good news from here. I got another friend to wait for the game. Actually he surprised me when I asked that did he know Paladin on NG and he said yes. He is probably now watching the last episode and the trailer of the game.

Nov. 14, 2007 | 5:01 PM JAZZA responds:

haha thats awesome. i've never had a 'yes' response the couple of time i've asked people i knew from school who were on NG all the time if they heard of paladin. good to hear tho, they muct all be on the other side of the world :P


Nov. 14, 2007 | 6:11 PM ColdReaver says:

that game's lookin great man! I'm itchin to play it XD

Nov. 15, 2007 | 12:16 AM JAZZA responds:

im glad, for both of those things :D


Nov. 17, 2007 | 7:46 AM Splurda says:

after paladin the game have you got any ideas for new movies? or are you going onto that paladin-except-in-the-new-world movie?

Nov. 17, 2007 | 10:57 PM JAZZA responds:

nah no more paladin related stuff for a while after the game. i need to get out of my comfort zone


Nov. 22, 2007 | 1:39 AM MrFinland says:

Finally I got the CD ready, with the list of the tracks and all. Now it is better, because I can finally easily find the track I precisely want to hear. 15 tracks alltogether, so it will be for an hour to listen to, great music to study while listening to, really calming.

Nov. 22, 2007 | 4:56 AM JAZZA responds:

heh kewl


Nov. 27, 2007 | 2:51 PM nrenteria says:

Nov. 29, 2007 | 7:05 AM Mobstarr says:

Im a big fan of you and all of your works, especially the paladin series i really loved...
im looking forward to play your game, keep doing all the good work and....

3 DAYS TO GO BEFORE DECEMBER!! cuz you said the launching of the game is on december, right?

Best Regards,
Mobstarr

Nov. 29, 2007 | 4:08 PM JAZZA responds:

haha it wont be STRAIGHT AWAY

because i'm not entering the competition any more we're not as restricted for time, but i still wanna get this thing out there. expect it before christmas.

beta testing begins in a week and a half (between my forum mods and tom fulp)

how well that goes will dictate how ready the game is
