my honest opinion is to stop developing antaris right now and start something new - something smaller.

dont get me wrong - its a good template game, probably one of the best template games ever, but it wont go beyond that.

i think you waste a lot of time by repeating the steps of making this huge levels and tons of enemies.
there is so many little things that others pointed out already, wich look or feel wrong it would be a massive waste of time to produce more levels...

for the future keep things simple, for example make only 2 weapons but make them look and feel good.

good luck

Thank you Frazzle, I appreciate your comments as always.

@Ulf: I also appreciate your comment. So here is my honest opinion:
How many times do I have to repeat that I do not intend do make more than a template game. I am having fun with this and it is enough for me. It is my way to relax and enjoy in between work, so how can it be a waste of time (which in my opinion is actually a very mean thing to say). There are only three more levels to go, before I start with the next project. Do you really expect me to throw it all away, just because you think it is a waste of time.

I know that it is far from being perfect or pro but it is what I can do and what I enjoy, so why don't you just let me have fun?

Right, if you have fun with that, work on it and hey it´s no waste of time if it is one of the best template projects ever

Cheers

@Posion: Its not a waste of time if he is having fun while doing it.
Because thats what counts most: Having fun with your hobby.
And for most users here Gamestudio is "just" a hobby.

@rincewind:
The latest screenshots look pretty good. However the skin of the gun shown in thoses pictures does not fit the style of the textures, because thoses look pretty "real-life" like.

But hey, just relax and have fun!
Happy creating!

Thank you Poison.

Thank you Xarthor. You are of course right.. the textures and skins have a different style. This was my first attempt on a completely hand-painted skin and I guess I still have to practice hand-painting a little more. I already got some ideas for the next model skins.. we'll see how it goes:-)

And yes.. for me it is just a hobby. There are so much professionals in this forum who really do a great job and I really adore their work.. so I better leave it to the real experts.

yes, I really have fun with 3dgs and I have fun with this forum. People who critizised my stuff really have been helpful and encouraged me to learn something new. Without them, I probably wouldn't have made any progress at all and 3dgs would probably be only half as fun as it is to me right now, so I really owe to the people in this forum.

Cheerio

ulf wasn't trying to criticize you, I think it was more that he sees so much more potential than what is shown. That being said, I agree that if your just doing it for fun, whats the difference

@lostclimate:
I know it wasn't meant as critics.. he was just trying to be helpful. It is just that I am really f**ed up by by how forum has changed during the last years. Can you imagine that right at this moment, some ****** from this forum keeps bugging me because the weapon on my recent screenshots looks like the rocket launcher from Unreal Tournament. C'mon - this forum and even the Conitec resources website is full of copies from commercial games: Star Wars games, Super Mario reloaded.... Star Wars Models, the Master Chief model, Doom 3 monsters, two or three Max Payne character models, the APU mech from Matrix.. you name it....... there is a whole lot of them around here. And I am not even going commercial.. my projects are non-commercial and I earn no money with it.
You know what really killed me? He did not only notify me that the weapon model looks like from UT, he even asked me, why it looked similar! What a dumb question. I am so fed up with these foolish comments, critics and dumb*ss PM's, it really makes me hit the roof. What the hell has become of this forum?
