PyWeek - Angels Fall First - feedback

Wow...

I installed panda3d, but I couldnt get it to run anyway :(

Game looks pretty cool, but couldn't make it work. However, you guys clearly ignored the theme.

under windows, using the supplied .bat, the game threw this error and crashed:

<pre>ImportError: No module named direct.task</pre>

grea graphics, great production, outstanding really. but i could not kill even one of the
enemies and got dizzy in the first two minutes of playing!! dis not follow theme.

I would give you a 6 in production if I could. Unfortunately, the unstable controls and some bugs (crashes, going through walls) prevented me from properly enjoying the game. Innovation is mostly for doing such a daring game in a week, and creating an interesting story environment for the game. :) Great job on this one.

This game simply shines in the production department – I would give it a 6 if I was able to, but the horrible mouse controls make the game unplayable, and the game seems to lack innovation. How is this related to the PyWeek theme?

Excellent production. Incredible. Congratulations!
Thank you for letting me discover panda3d!

Good production; the Panda library makes it look really nice, but not too sure if it adds any extra gameplay.

(IronAngelsFinal.zip) I couldn't play this. Not that it didn't run it was completely uncontrollable. It looked good but when I can't work how not to spin wildly looking good can't hold my interest very long.

Failed to install Panda3d. "ImportError: No module named pandac.libpandaexpressModules"

Interesting game. Production is really good. I like the graphics, the radar system and the 3D
models. The playability needs to be heavily improved, the ship is very difficult to control,
shooting is difficult. The throttle system makes the game very confusing. I can't see the
twisted theme in this game.

Graphics, levels, manual, music and sound are great. However, you need some time to get used to
the mouse controls and even then I seem to have little chance to hit any enemies because they
just fly by so fast. And it doesn't help that you can fly through walls. ;) Pleeease finish this
game. I really want to play it when it works.

Some very nice artwork here but the control method (based on absolute mouse position) made it pretty much unplayable for me.

Felt like a deathmatch-only version of Descent. The controls were difficult, the camera was frequently obstructed, the AI seemed to be simple, yet too hard.

Also, couldn't see the connection to the theme outside of the backstory in the documentation.

<p>This one seems incomplete. It's very pretty, but the walls seem very undefined; shooting through them, flying through them, being blocked by something not a wall - that sort of thing. This has a big impact on gameplay.

<p>Production gets 4. This is because of what I consider a major problem with allowing customisable controls. I had to go into the source to get an inverted mouse, which I consider essential to any flight sim. Part of the drop from 5 is also what I feel is a slightly weak link to the theme. Apart from those the game is pretty, and has nice sound.

<p>Innovaion? What innovation. All this has been done before many times. I see absolutely nothing new.

zsh: terminated python run_game.py

I had quite a time to get this running. My lack of experience with Panda probably had to do with that.
I couldn't fly the flipping plane, I probably didn't nail a shot ever, but I'm not even sure.
Excellent graphics and sound. Not much to do with the theme of the competition?

I couldn't control my spaceship... perhaps I'm too slow for this game, or too old. But the
production is great and it looks semi-professional.

Traceback (most recent call last):

I couldn't find the theme on it (except perhaps one our two word references in the manual), so I
am disqualifying it. The engine and graphics are superb, although the problems with camera
(usually getting behind a wall) and controls (non autocentering mouse!) take a lot of the fun
out of it and make it very hard to play (even being in my favorite category of game and being a
flightsims/xwalliance/freespace lover). With some work on that this could be an excellent
game, but at the moment is mostly unplayable

Nice graphics! Ships were hard to control, difficult to find other ships

This entry was on my "most expected" list, because of the size of the team and what it said it will deliver... And maybe that cause my disappointment with the game play, which I couldn't master at all.
I like the font you you used. Also it's nice to see that python can do advanced stuff with graphics without a huge impact.
Well I gotta say you have done a GREAT job of showing off python, but I guess either I don't like the genre or my computer isn't fit enough to deal with it :)

Anyways, I hope next time the envelope will be pushed even further.

The flag texture didn't load (left a coloured square where the player starts). Collision is quite buggy, often flying through the ship. It's far too difficult to see and target another ship... could have been easier by providing strafing controls while stationary (i.e., more like a non-space FPS). The camera should either be first-person or should move to avoid clipping the world geometry. After twenty minutes of play I couldn't get a single kill, though I'm quite adept at other shooters... this makes me think the game wasn't really play-tested.

The camera view makes me dizzy. The dependency (panda3d) is way too heavy - 51 whopping MB! Is there not a "diet panda?" Game play was really lacking - I could hardly control the ship, let alone even see what I'm shooting at.

This looks stunning. Clearly we should consider panda for our next project. Yeah, and also
finding some artists as great as what your team has. Unluckily I found it very difficult, even
impossible to shoot any other ship, so the gameplay was None for me.

I can't be bothered installing Panda3d. Sorry

Pretty looks. Nice project. Just doesn't do much for me however.

The game is very well polished.
Hard work on production side but
nothing on originality. Some low-fps
and control problems didn't let me
enjoy this game fully.
