THE BIG KNIGHTS
Have you been watching The Big Knights on TV?
Do you like it, and do you like comicbased campaigns?
HISTORY
What happend in Borovia when The Big Knights TV series ended?

Today, Otto has gathered the people of Borovia in village Borodzo to present his new mercenary guards.
He thinks that they will hold off all attacks against the land, so The Big Knights can take a wellearnt vacation
But he was wrong....
This is a plain cutscene. The full version will come later this year.. or perhaps not, but whatever.

You should really state that it should be played on fast, in the instructions. I was confused at first.
I thought that first scene was halarious. It matched up nicely with the music dialogue. As for the rest, I would suggest slowing the dialogue down. Since the game is playing in "Fast", the character's dialouge flys by too fast. You also need to spell check your dialogue. And you might want to straighten the letters out that spell "The Big Knights" in p-walls, which was a nice idea, by the way.
All-in-all. It was a nice cutscene. Good job. I'll be sure to play it when it comes out. |

Thanks newIdea!
I'll update according to your comment, when I getb time. About the text... well, what do you mean with straighten it out?
The only letter I saw who wasn't straight is the last S. No room for it... |

If there's no room, consider moving it further down the map. It looks a bit silly on the mini-map. |

Silly? Hehe, thats the point
This is going to be a more comical campaign than my others, but still a good and hard one |

I agree wit Newidea, fix those things up and it will be better. Its ok but not so good on its own and yer I know you said it was going to be a full version. I think I will rate it when it becomes full version! :) |

Thanks a lot for the review! I hope I can answer you with this post:
"...sir Horis the dog"
Horace ;)
"However fun, I simply felt that the cut-scene overall seemed a bit rushed, as if it had not had any final polishes as to make it something ‘complete’ in its own right."
It is true. It was the very first cut-scene I made, even before the ADOC teaser, so it was made pretty quickly.
"...and the use of map revealers created from the triggers instead of by the units list, changed ownership, to avoid those horrible flashing green lines."
That will be fixed. I can only agree, they look awful
"The map design overall was good, though a little messy in some places, lacking time and effort. The town was probably the most poorly designed place, and although the podium and court it sat on was interesting, I felt that the building placement could have been better, and with more to keep my interest, but then, maybe the way the scenes were revealed, which was quite poor, influenced my decision here? Other than that, the countryside was very good with nice terrain mixing, application of elevation and an overall good design of the farmlands with ‘pumpkins’ and flowers."
I might make a total remake of this, with samestoryline of course, just to better up the map and triggers. You're right about the design, but to my defense it was my very first cut-scene and since I made it I've evolved my skills very much
"The instructions were ill placed, with the same thing posted in History, Instructions, Hints and Scout alike."
I was just assuring myself that no one should play the cut-scene wrong :p
"I would suggest deactivating the patrolling Paladins once they reach the King’s destination"
The problem is that I dont know how to stop units from patrolling when they have started :(
Else I would have done it.
"Another suggestion is to change the colour of Borodzo, which is red, to something bleaker. In my opinion the red does not go so well for visual effects."
Got a point there
Again, thanks a lot! :D |
