MidNightMaren's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[(REEL) Luminant Fantasia]

You never cease to surprise me people! Nicely done, really!

Funny because I have just made an article on my Website talking about Trigger Knight to my community, a few days ago, and midway I said how much I was expecting the full game from you guys. And today I found this on your account not even knowing it was submitted yesterday xD

Anyway, about the game, I probably shouldn't give away a 4.5 stars like this because this is not even Beta, and the Battle system itself has some flaws and is no near completion (or at least I hope so).
The graphics are amusing for an original, the Sprites are awesomely well made, the monsters are nice and the environment, well it could have a little animation on it like but it's nice enough for me.

The music... Well the music as in Trigger Knight is stunning! It fits perfectly for the ambient and a RPG battle. Props to AtelierLucid for it, congratulations on the work well done!

Overall, the battle system is amusingly well coded as expected from you! I was actually thinking of a battle system similar on a future project I was planning after my pending projects are completed.
But after all these years making RPG's in Flash, I still have yet to try if I know how to make one with ATB kind of system!

Anyway, good work and I seriously hope to see a full-scale game from you within next year or something. From time to time I check you Site for news, but no luck I guess...

Keep up the good work, as a lover and creator of RPG's myself!

[Megaman X: RPG Chapter 0]

A master piece of a Flash!

Well, to be honest, I never had really a relation with the Megaman games/saga, so will rate the Storyline for what I have seen in this game :P Now that I'm on it, the story has a very good concept and the text is pretty much well made. You must have had a really hard time with the whole script of the game.
The game has an extremely well done coding, I can tell you are a ActionScript master, or very close to it. The battles, the menus and the stats increase concept were clearly well coded!
The whole RPG is flawless and there are very few here on NG that can rival it.
The animation is pretty cool, and adding your own style to the sprites used was a clever idea! Maybe because of my computer or because of the sliding backgounds, the animation seemed a little slow at some points, but that didn't screwed and made it quite playable even so.
The music and sound effects were choosen wiselly, and were very enjoyable to hear. It gave the felling of Megaman and RPG mixed.

While playing this it was leaving me a little unhappy. To think I was improving my skills at ActionScript, after seeing this I was like "WTF?" XD
This flash smashes the RPG's of my own to the ground, and you really diserved the award and front page!
A master piece of a Flash that shows your efforts to make a real game in flash, and you actually did so! Congrats!
Just keep the good work and give us the next chapter even more stunnin :)

ChamberACR responds:

Wow, thank you very much. I'm flattered and slightly taken aback. I admit that I think there are better Flash games on Newgrounds - some of them are just amazing, but its nice to hear something like that. It really validates the past six months of my otherwise uneventful life. So thank you very much =D

[Phrozenflame RPG]

A great Flash indeed

Well, thats a great Flash game. The RPG part specially caught my atention of course, even if is nothing new for me (I make RPG games myself).
The exploration part could be a little improved, espicially because the hero is real slow when is walking, and a "press Space bar to talk, or examine" would be a good option too insted of just touching. I really had a hard time getting ride of that damn computer, it just didnt stop showing the message. Anyway, thats up to you!
The sound effects were really well used as well as the music.
I loved the effects too! That "magic Charge" was really well done!
Something good in this game were the cutscenes following the game part! That was a great idea!
Well, ok lets stop from here. You guys have here a really great job so keep it up! You are just in the begginning so you have lots to do and lots you can improve!
Take Care

[Megaman X Virus Mission 2]

Very good!

Well, when I was seeing the movie/game I started to think, "where the hell is the game on this??", then a RPG battle poped up!
Well, I have to say, I loved the RPG part (my favourite).
Nothing new to me the RPG part, cos I make some of that too, but this is the first time I see one with MegaMan characters, and I have to see I liked it a lot!
The sound was something that caught my attetion! The voices in the attacks are great, the effects and the music you used too!
The variability of the attacks are very good, using the same
method I use with Mp and Sp, you use Weapon energy, as well as a LimitBreak attack(s).
I always like to see a good movie with some RPG concepts, and you did here a great work!
Keep it up!

Thanks! I really appreciate that!

[Halloween Rampage]

Good work

Good work dude! When I saw your name on the "popular artists" of the day, I jump to see your work. I liked it a lot :D.
Even thinking I didnt get any of those Health packages, I got a good score:D
For a 3 days work you did a nice job!
Hope to see more from you!
Keep it up!

The-Mercenary responds:

thanks, I wish more people got to play the game though. I also wish I had more time to make it. I wanted to throw in twice as many enemies and make their attacks make you feel like you really got hit, and the menu screens needed alot more work...I might end up making a christmas version of this game with everything I wanted to put in this one.

[RPG Tutorial The Basics]

Good enough!

Thats good! Just one think! That random damage code is not that great cos you only get damage between 0 and 300 (for example). But overall the toturial is very good!
Great work! This will help lots of ppl :P

Staticblaze responds:

That random code was the point of all that! And I even told you how to take it out! Don't you read?

[Sonic 3D Snowboarding]

Well I think the game is very cool, the variety of the sounds and weather were very nice too, need some improvement, like moviment to right and left, but you showed here effort... Very good... Keep on work

[Flash Pro Tutorial v5.0]

Good...

Well you give me a good review and now Im here to make a good review too...Well i think the tutorial is very good, maybe need some improvement on graphs but the toturial is very good...I know that could be hard make this kind of games or movies... so I gave you a 5...
