| You scare me. Good luck anyway. |
| ||
| I have played your other games. What new things does this game bring? |
| ||
| Most people would call this a minor addition to your last two games, not a completely new one. When you list -Grab bones as three separate headline features, it's obvious you're grabbing at straws. Your game is okay, but you're trying to sell the same thing 3 times in a barely disguised form. -Grab pastries -Grab Hearts |
| ||
| -grab stuff doesnt sound so good |
| ||
| At least he's creating and finishing products - You don't have to look far to see some commercial games being released as completely new games which are exactly the same as older ones - lol. ...and don't forget it's a continung homage to his poor departed pet - go for it Xylvan. IPete2. |
| ||
| Thanks IPete2 Candy was awesome :) She was a beautiful dog full of life until 2 month before her death... Oh Candy... this game is dedicated to you... I hope you've heard that... That is a fun game full of life as you and should never perish like your soul ! |
| ||
| Actually, that's true, try playing dynasty warriors on the PS2, I really can't see any difference between them, apart from the character names that is. Otherwise, I would say the graphics on these games are improving over time. I'd still say the only issues I have with candy world is the day to night transitions being too quick, and the lack of instruction on what you're meant to do. |
| ||
| Your English needs a little touch-up, Xilvan, but good luck with your game, it looks like it would appeal to kids pretty well. |
| ||
| Got a bit of a fixation with the falling snow. |
| ||
| Tried it... seemed kinda pointless, had no idea what I was doing... And I'm allergic to dogs. *coughs* |
| ||
| Looks good from the images... then again, when your flagship product is Dungeons of Fear I get excited with anything that has graphics ;) Good for Xylvan for being brave... sometimes the community can be... intimidating... |
| ||
| Heres some Screen Capture about the Sharkys and Dolphin in the 23th Level of Candy World 2... They are fictive spicies ! Sharkies are active foes in Marine levels... They attack Candy.... - 4384 tris  Dolphins are friendly creature that are Candy's Fans - 1650 tris  |
| ||
| Part 2? Congrats on having enough demand for a sequel! |
| ||
| I just want enlarging the gaming experience of my players and I'm really exited about getting this game done... Everyone should try the game... Its a good experience :) I'm up to ad turtle, falcon, hawk, owl and many more... Theres also a boat... made by a new french blitz member, which is a good modeller ! Any Suggestion ? |
| ||
| I just want enlarging the gaming experience of my players How many people bought Candy World 1 then? |
| ||
| I dont give any information about that... but I can say more than 200 people have downloaded the demo on download.com The new demo will be the 17 levels (full version) of Candy World 1 and will be free... Its a gift ! http://www.sendspace.com/file/eje8mc |
| ||
| Keep on bumping that thread Xylvan! For goodness sake BRL, give this man his own forum. |
| ||
| Quite like the sharks & dolphins, kind of alienesque. Keep at it. |
| ||
| I hope nobody will delete that post... Candy World 2 is altmost finished 8 worlds remains... I'm up finishing the others dogs and cats of different types... World 0-26 are finished and only worlds from 27-34 remains... Here where you can download the latest version of Candy World : The Golden Bones(also mentionned on top) http://files.filefront.com/CandyWorldV10exe/;9749748;/fileinfo.html Please dont delete that post its very important !!! |
| ||
| well Xylvan, you do work hard, no one can take that from you. Good luck dude :) |
| ||
| Xylvan, thought you were going to write this with XNA and get it on XBox Live? |
| ||
| I can do it but i need to learn another language... I know C, C++, Blitz Basic 3D and Visual Basic but nothing about XNA and C#... I'd like to make LOD and Candy World in XNA too and i'm sure it will have a better succes than just having it on PC... I'll present LOD in another subject and i'm sure it will rock... |
| ||
| "I can do it but i need to learn another language..." Reminds me of when someone once said to me, "I'm sure I could play guitar like you - if I just knew where to put my fingers." |
| ||
 This is Goldy the Cocker... A dog met in Candy World 2... This is the first model I made of a dog beside Candy and Snoopy... I've made all the cats fur and disposals... Dogs will bring new exitement to the people who will play the game such like freezby gathering or freezby trowing... 3 other dogs remain to draw and model until the end of March.. |
| ||
| Tried it again. It's just pretty boring and repetive and not very playable. Good luck anyways. |
| ||
| "Goldy the Cocker" ......oh god I am immature |
| ||
| I'm making it the most Banjo-esque with more worlds, more dogs and cats, more playability... Do you have suggestions to make it more mature ? |
| ||
| You won't listen anyway, so why bother? Good luck anyways. |
| ||
| Check Nintendogs from Nintendo for interactions with computerpets. Jump and run comes to mind, too. Play Ball! |
| ||
| I think more shaders, visual effects and more levels would address the playability issue. |
| ||
| Is there a way for making Shadows on blitz terrains... cause AShadow doesnt work in vista... |
| ||
| Xylvan, shadows won't improve your game. You need to improve the gameplay. More depth and variety of gameplay is needed. This does not mean more of the same. More levels and more items to collect do not equal enhanced gameplay. You should try to think of new ways to keep the player entertained. As well as doing this - perhaps even more importantly - you should try to find ways to refine, polish, and improve the existing features of the game. |
| ||
| Considering your age, and the original reason for your game, I think you have done a great job. It is a good tribute to your dog, Candy. It shows a lot of love and heart went into this game. I really like your modeling work. |
| ||
| Candy World is altmost done 5 levels remains to do... -Cloud Road -Animal Paradise -Human Paradise -Mourn Campagne -Forgotten City I will add a dalmatian named Patch and a terrier named Ticky All this gonna be done by Monday next week...   |
| ||
| hi xilvan, i tried all of your games. i think the better, in terms of quality, is CandyWorld. But i can't spot the difference with the first (is this "Candy World 2" another game? or is the number 2 for "second post"?) I like a lot the music. There's some problems with the camera (after running it changed angle and it was difficult ontinuing the game...) about gameplay... 1) why monsters wait you are very close to attack? 2) it's very diffucult to die. If a monster hit you energy don't decrease until you get away from the monster... (fix it) 3) what are "brioches" (?) useful to? 4) you can have 1000 levels but if all of them look the same playing go boring... 5) the day-night cycle is too fast (IMHO) i hope this can be useful to improve your game ;) |
| ||
| Me i think that all of my games are of great quality... Candy World 2 is more Epic and will grant the player's wish to play the level he wants when he wants... While choosing the level he will be able to choose more than one to achive a single quest... There will be more dogs, ennemies and friends... The music is made by Badr... 1) I tried everything to improve it but it just dont work... I Should take off the problem soon and bring everyones a top quality way to be betrayed by monsters... 2) Monsters attack Candy when she turns back to them or sometimes they attack everytimes... The game is supposed to be for kids... so i prefer Candy to be undestroyable for them. 3) Brioches or pastries are dog food needed to feed Candy spiritually... When its spirit are high she can go everywhere and then throught a door. 4) Theres some variation as explained before in the climat... at level 7 we switch to winter and then for sprint and we then switch to desert. 5) I'll fix it but i need to know the time... |
| ||
| How about some decent help: START OVER. |
| ||
| I prefer this game to the one with the angel things. I prefer the dogs. |

| ||
| Xylvan I've just had a look at www.xilvandesign.com. You really need to clean up the forum's General Topics category. You appear to have 5139 spam topics advertising a veritable cornucopia of pornographic vileness! |
| ||
| A veritable cornucopia of pornographic vileness? You make that sound like a bad thing. |
| ||
| LOL! |
| ||
| Xylvan: I think your present games are great but your future games will be great also! Tell us more about your thoughts. What are your plans in the future? I am asking you because I have already bought Candy World and I like it so much! Give us some details about your methods in game design and coding. Are you working alone or are you a team? Do you use Blitz3D and what other libraries? I need to know because I am planing to make a game similar to Candy World... Which program you use for 3D models, what is your sound/music resources? |
| ||
| My hat's off to you, Xylvan. Your consistent policy of ignoring any and all constructive criticism of your game has had one overwhelming result... your threads draw more responses than just about anything else! They say any publicity is good publicity! |
| ||
| @JustLuke: You know, the bad kind ;P |
| ||
| Moraldi, is this a joke or were you paid by Xylvan? |
| ||
| Yep, the general discussion part of your forum seems to have been spammed with all sorts of bot advertising. There's even paedophile links on there. The first thing I would do is clean that up as potential customers won't be best pleased with seeing stuff like that on your website. You may even lose your hosting. There's a mod out there for phpbb that can help prevent spam accounts on your forum. Use it. As for Candy World; keep at it, keep improving and I'm sure you'll get better responses in future. |
| ||
| As for Candy World; keep at it, keep improving and I'm sure you'll get better responses in future. If he keeps the same concept for a game and just keeps adding things like enemies, "bones", 3d effects, it is essentially the same thing. He will probably keep getting negative feedback until he starts fresh. |
| ||
| JustLuke: LOL!. Both of your explanations are good enough. I will answer to you only after Xylvan's answer... |
| ||
| There's a mod out there for phpbb that can help prevent spam accounts on your forum. Use it. I had to install one of those for my Framework forum due to the same problem. Actually in the end a very helpful forum member sent me some code to use. It was sooo worth it as it's stopped 100% spam bots. |
| ||
| Pornographic link ? Gay and peadophiles link ? I'm up to change server... thanks to advertise me ;) I simply like playing my games because it's all I have... I have not even 800$ a month and will all my debt i only get 100-200$ per month consacred to material of Xilvan Design issue... I use 3dstudio max 8, plus B3dPipeline for b3d and texporter for texturing... I'm simply using my mouth to make dog voices and exclamation and also for explosion sounds... |
| ||
| Changing server won't help for long. You need to do as the other guys said, or it will just keep happening :o) |
| ||
| How'd you afford 3d Studio Max 8 on so little money, Xylvan? |
| ||
| Seeing i has great capabilities they simply gave me 3Dstudio max 8... |
| ||
| *snickers* |
| ||
| rofl. |
| ||
| Nut i cant sale the model, just the game... |
| ||
| Your full of it. The company wouldn't just give you 3d max version 8. |
| ||
| *cough* warez *cough* |
| ||
| Seeing i has great capabilities they simply gave me 3Dstudio max 8... I found it in a bush would have been more believable. |
| ||
| lol |
| ||
| Pornography, piracy... what next? I knew there was something sinister behind this 'Candy World'! ; ) |
| ||
| I found it in a bush would have been more believable. lol indeed. These threads are always comedy central! |
| ||
| lol, every other game and effects studio have to buy it, but Xylvan doesn't? 'Hang on lads, why give Ubisoft a free licence for Assasins Creed 2, when we can give to Xylvan Design...' - Not Autodesk |
| ||
| Seeing i has great capabilities they simply gave me 3Dstudio max 8... Who are 'they'? Do they wear white coats? |
| ||
| Who are 'they'? Do they wear white coats? No, but they tell him when he needs to clean his room. |
| ||
| I am getting so used to these silliness that I turn to this thread yust to get a laugh. I will miss it when it's dead. I am shure it is not going to be any time soon. ??? @xylvan you are a character and you know it. and is why you keep playing this little game with everybody. controversy = free advertisement. Get your five minutes of fame from all of us fools posting to this deadend thread. |
| ||
| He will learn. Eventually. |
| ||
| maybe the company was on crack |
| ||
| Pornography, piracy... what next? I knew there was something sinister behind this 'Candy World'! ; ) Drugs and slavery will be needed for Candy World 3. Xylvan represents the sinister, Mafia-like underbelly of Blitzbasic. |
| ||
| HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH..oh myyy..HAHAHAHAHA |
| ||
| Look I can make whatever I want with a free version BUT I cant sell the models... So it's important to notice that I havent the right to sell the models... But I can sell the game 7.50 to 10.50 for the work I've done on it... |
| ||
| That 30 day free trial's served you well. Enough for LOD, Candy World, Candy World 2..... So you're allowed to use the demo for commercial projects? |
| ||
| No you must be agree with autodesk to not sale the product... But at 7.50$ it's not enough for having trouble... LOD is made with simple mesh that i could have done with Blender or wings which are free... What the gamer pay is the program, the level design and the story... and a bit of Gameplay... So not the models... Cause its illegal with the free version or the 300$ version... |
| ||
| When I bought my last car I paid only for the wheels because the other parts where copyrighted... Do you think we are morons? |
| ||
| Xylvan that is completley made up. The only thing that can resemble that is an academic licence, which still you can't sell or use your models in a commerical game. |
| ||
| without reading their terms and conditions on 'free' 3dsmax or whatever if they say it cannot be used for commercial applications that also means if you sell it for 50p but if they dont know you used it to make the models and then something to export that hid its true origins then no one but you would know you used it but thats why maya ple has an odd ball format that only it (and maya propper im guessing) support |
| ||
| There's a free 3d Studio Max 8? Much like Maya PLE if there were a free version of 3D Studio Max then it would be illegal and in breach of the T&C's to sell anything made with it commercially. |
| ||
| Nobody bought my game anyway... |
| ||
| Nobody bought my game anyway... And someone probably would have if you listened to some advice or pleads. |
| ||
| Indeed. It's never too late to start listening, and with a few changes, I'm sure you could sell some copies. There's plenty of free 3D modelling software out there that is quite usable. Try Wings or MilkShape. |
| ||
| When AnoD will be restarted, so after the development of Candy World... LOD will be free... Anyway I just decided that cause I want everyone trying it... from the beguining to the end... |
| ||
| Xylvan, do you understand the advice that people give to you? Here's an idea: why don't you list here the improvements and changes that you think people would like to see you make to your games? We'll tell you if we think you've got the right idea. It's useful to conduct market research if you wish to maximise the sales of your games. It would help you to create games that contain features that people want to see (or that they are interested in.) |
| ||
| Your games are pretty cheap Xylvan, and people don't buy them. TBH I wouldn't even play your game if you gave me $7.50. I have tried the demo of all your games, and there just very boring. Why don't you scale everything back a little and make a really good small game? Its better to have 1 really cool level that 24 crap repeating ones. |
| ||
| My games, repetitive... boring ? I dont believe it... Everything in my games are sophisticated, well done and well thinked... other games are not entertaining at all... You are simply jealous... You just dont want seeing me having success with my awesome games... You want me in hell with pong like games... |
| ||
| At least Pong would have some playability... |
| ||
| You just dont want seeing me having success with my awesome games... Nobody bought my game anyway... |
| ||
| Xylvan reminds me of Baghdad Bob |
| ||
| I missed that. So.... nobody here likes your games. Nobody anywhere else likes your games. The only person claiming that they're 'awesome' and everybody else is merely 'jealous', is you. Have you ever entertained the crazy idea that just maybe you're wrong, and the rest of the known universe is right? [edit] You might think that people are always attacking you, and I suppose you're right. But the only reason they do that is because the original 'softly softly' approach and words of encouragement simply didn't get through to you. I'd hazard a guess that most people here who have given advice to your deaf ears in the past, are now in a position where they just want to scream at you. |
| ||
| Oo |
| ||
| Can you admit that your games are unrevelant and unapealing... or unexisting... I believe that every game have some people that find it apealing and other unapealing... Since 2006 many people losed interest in my art cause of your harsh critisism... I even loosed my heart and selfcondidence cause of this... I made two games anyway and nobody should be harsh with me... When you have nothing in hand ( no games ) you shut your mouth and you try finding some fun in it... |
| ||
| You're right, I have no games in hand. Still, at least I can console myself with the vast amount of money I made when I sold them all. (and I didn't have to make up fairy tales about selling games to Midway/EA either). Since 2006 many people losed interest in my art cause of your harsh critisism... .... ...it might not be because of that. :) |
| ||
| Xylvan reminds me of Baghdad Bob I think you mean Comical Ali! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3024046.stm |
| ||
| You're insane, Xylvan. Please, stop making games, you're no good at it. |
| ||
| I think you mean Comical Ali! Over here, he got nicknamed Baghdad Bob |
| ||
| Xylvan: Maybe, you should make and sell models. I like the look of your models and I would gladly buy a model pack from you. |
| ||
| I am quite jealous of your productivity, and ability to 'keep on programming' Its very frustrating, you seem to put a lot of time and effort into your games, and if you just learn to listen to people, take criticism and learn more about game design (rather than thinking you know everything) then you could be really great. Listen, why don't you send a demo or video of game play to all the game companies and sales portals out there and see what there comments are? Don't listen to us, go and see for yourself. Game portals don't care about forum domestic squabbles, if they think your game is good and they can make money from it then they will do so. Lol, and stop blaming GfK for all your problems. Hes probably the most accomplished game developer here, and will give you good advice and help you if you just listen to people. |
| ||
| As others have said, why don't you listen to what people are telling you? If most people who play your games on here, think it is boring and repetitive, then that tells you something. But clearly you just don't listen :o) Maybe you don't have the programming skills to implement these changes and are too stubborn to admit it. Your telling guys on here, who have made games, and sold them, that they are jealous. Great games that have had good reviews from pro magazines. Your games, i'm sad to say, aren't fun to play. It's the same thing over and over again. Why not try and implement some changes that people have suggested? Everyone on here plays games for fun, and have a decent idea of what a fun game is. It's not easy making a game people will enjoy, that's why you ask for feedback, change things, and generally make it better. For your own sake, please try and take this on board. Without meaning to be harsh, your Blitz Showcase posts are turning into a bit of a joke. Mainly because of the reasons above. As said before, again, if you want to annouce a game, do it on a blog or something. This is a forum, and you'll get peoples true opinions here. You simply can't seem to accept them. So, swallow your pride, stop pointing the finger at other people, and try again :o) And good luck! |
| ||
| You know what Xylvan? *points at you* YOUR the reason I don't get games done. Your game are just SOOOO awsome I know I can never make anything to compare. Sarcasm is good for the soul. |
| ||
| Seriously, turn down the bloom. |
| ||
| I think this has run it's course... |
