Hi everyone,
Big thanks to all of you here on this forum who have actively helped me with questions in regards to using Fusion 2.5.
3 weeks ago I purchased Fusion 2.5 and I've been learning a tremendous amount of knowledge. I'm very excited to complete the remaining 9 stages as I have them all completely designed and ready to be programmed.
After 21 days of working 16 hours a day... I now have something to demo. haha.
You guys are awesome!

Really cool design!
Keep on the good work ;)
Thank you!
Nice work! :)
it's looking nice and polished, especially for a first project. What platforms are you planning to release on?
Amazing, looks like fun :)
Thanks everyone!
I plan to release it for Android/iPhone.Quote:

Absolutely, I plan to build the apk and test on my mobile phone as soon as I finish two levels. My thoughts exactly. would have to do the whole thing and then see an error or glitch at the very end that I could have saved a lot of time on. haha

Feedback.
Love the sound. Love her voice. Love that the borders lighten when the round ends. Great transitions. Your logo is too gray.
1. Not in love with the color scheme.
2. You need to make it easier to know how many correct you got. Just showing 100*correct is confusing.
3. Show where the hits are occurring.
4. Make the plates break in different ways in differing pieces and velocities.
5. Do not use courier/typewrite fonts. No very futuristic.
6. What is the three things at the top of the screen? Two are green one is empty. Confusing.
7. The outer glow on the text is a little unattrative.
8. The Fail/Pass text is hard to read.
9. Like the department of stuff logo but please please please don't use 8 bit look-alike. There's really no reason on Earth. I am mystified that people feel compelled to do throwback.
"Winner's don't use drugs" is a joke. If you played video 8bit games at the arcades in the 1990's then you would think it's funny... if it's before your time then you wouldn't recognize what it's imitating.
Voice and sound is all a rough draft, I will have to go back equalize all the voice overs, sounds and then go into the music studio and produce a full soundtrack... current music is just filler from an Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1 back in 2003 by High Contrast (Drum and Bass music producer).
Thanks for all the feedback Keith. I like all your ideas... but after 16 hour days for 21 days straight... breaking things in different velocities and all that jazz... sounds wonderful... but I am a 1 man army and I hope to release this month so how detailed can detailed be? We will see how much time I still have left in the day to get that in depth. haha. Thanks for writing man. Cheers.
EDIT:
The 3 green bars represent your 3 lives. In the video the player failed a stage, "Fail" icon blinked and then the live blinked and disappeared. I thought that was pretty straight forward but maybe I can revise that.
The Failed icon is much easier to read when you are actually playing the game... youtube really brings down quality of images.
Don't forget I bought fusion 2.5 just 3 weeks ago... I have NO IDEA how to use this thing. lol. There's so much I want to do with it... I just don't know where to click yet.
I adjusted the "losing a live" animation so the icon blinks longer and is more noticeable if it's being taken away.
Thanks for the feedback Keith!
I surely know what it means to be a one man army. But it looks like you're off to a great start. Keep up the good work.
Yeah, and as for the discs breaking in different speeds and velocities... they actually broke in different directions... but I don't think people will catch that because it happens so fast and they are focused on other things like passing the level by hitting other upcoming targets...
such small details like that I want to do... but just takes so long to do that for EVERY type of target because I have to bring in the artwork into 3d studio max... render multiple breaks that looks good (trial and error) then import them to third party processing to remove the chroma key (because fusion 2.5 chroma key is crap sometimes) and then bring them back into fusion to assign random animations to particular objects, etc, etc, etc etc...
no one would probably notice anyway because it happens so fast.
I want to... but not sure if it's worth the time investment... I have 2 of 10 stages done and fully programmed now... We'll see how much time I have left. I have to go out of town to Los Angeles for WPT poker tour the last week of this month so I hope to have this done and on the google market by then.
Here's a video for the Intelligence Stage I just got done programming... sure is challenging as all patterns in all stages happen at random. Do you think it's too fast???
