You cannot host images on rapidshare and expect them to show up in the forum...

Try using something like Photobucket or ImageShack, both are free and very good for this.

And instead of using rapidshare (which the link goes down after some time) you should host your program in hosts like google drive, dropbox or other free space available online.

Ok, thanks for the tips.

Thanks again SLotman, much better!

The wardenson the right side of screen 2 have a wrong perspective (was so in the original too).
Maybe ages ago they did not have the pixels to display the "knights" rotated some degrees more.
Same for the shields.


Overall nice work but personally I don't like the "gradient"-colored style as it reminds on early vector sprites in flash. Maybe you will improve the style (I know it is the hardest part for "programmers") and include more details within the sprites.
If it is intended that way - it was no blame just my personal point of view.

Some lines seem to be blurried (scaled up) and some are even without antialiasing (coloumns, "corners" in the third screen). This makes the sprites not fitting together 100% (door-border is blurry, walls are sharp).

Sorry for not using the "good-bad-good"-critics-style.

bye
Ron

Excellent remake Mick.

Thanks for all your comments, much appreciated!

Really nice! It seems to capture everything from the original (I had the speccy version) but with nice polish and without spoiling the nostalgia - Very good indeed!

I haven't found any bugs or issues so far, which of course is a good thing ;)


Blitzplotter(Posted 2012) [#12]
Awesome, I also had the Speccy version, no buggettes here either.

Never played the original that much but this version feels "right" and was fun! Great remake.

Very nice! Played the original one for many many hours :D

Although be careful of putting the cover art in your game... and especially the ultimate name/logo, some troll probably bought all the rights to that.

Loved the original. Love this remake.
Fantastic job! :)

Great remake, the only problem I had is that the title screen goes bonkers (No text and music is just noise) if you have the Refresh Lock off in your GFX drivers by default. The actual game runs fine though.
