If anyone is interested, here's the promo graphic novel I did for the third game. Sarah has given me permission to share, please enjoy!

[Utopian Mining]

Brilliant game, can't criticise it at all.
Has a touch of MegaDrill in there but improves on it quite a bit! 5 stars!

[Magic Steel]

Nice game, so props for good coding and everything. I'd give the gameplay a high rating but you get 0/5 for the graphics and music since they're ripped (and on all his other games)

[The Last Stand Union City]

Frickin' A-mazing

Just finished doing art on Rebuild 2 so I have to admit I kinda wanted to hate this game (even though they're both chalk and cheese really) but holy shit man, this is like a zillion times improved over the original game. I actually played it for well over an hour and that's totally unheard of for me on anything not a console game.
Yes it's a Fallout rip, but does anyone care? I think not! I bet even the guys at Bethesda are smirking over this one. What a great job, truly. Easily my favourite online game right now.

[Undead End Hardcore]

Great

I had a vision of making a game pretty similar to this but more open-ended on the exploration side. Great work- this is one of the better games out there. I'd give it a 10 but for the obvious Metal Slug sprite *ahem* borrowing.

[Knightfall 2]

Probably the best game on NG

Outbreak or this one for best game on NG?Hmm. Both are incredible games but I prefer this one at least visually. From coder to coding team * respect* THIS is a crisp, well-polished piece of art, and it would be a sin not to see a DS conversion or something similar. It'd be nice to hear a success story or two on NG occasionally and on top of that I think KnightFall has the savvy to become commercially profitable.

I'm wondering, are the graphics and audio borrowed from old arcade games or something? I'm not blowing the whistle on you guys I'm simply wondering where I can get the same type of media for myself. My next game is heavy on the sprites and I'd be interested in knowing how to achieve a similar look to yours.

[The Breach]

"Not bad at all!"

The game suffers from being slow on my pc (perhaps I needed a better graphics card). It's tough to run full screen 750x750 -or whatever res you're using- with all those smoke and bullet effects and get it to run smoothly, believe me I've tried. The standard 550x400 would have worked faster.
I think another weak point is the vector graphics. Not that they're aren't good- in fact they're drawn terrifically well- but the overall effect is cartoony and this doesn't promoting much in terms of a realistic feeling of horror. I hope if there is a sequel you'll think about maybe using photorealistic images or prerendered 3d animations, quite a jump from vector art I'll agree but worth the investment in time to learn to make.
Story was good, and it's clear a lot of effort has gone into this game. Don't be discouraged by the critics! This one has potential.

[When Pigs Fly]

if you cover your ears, it's ok

cute and stylish little game but the sfx...uggghhh..almost makes the thing unplayable, sorry to say.
