Gaia : Review
 

Yey, there's an onlinestartlocal! I was so worried that my first PW Review would have to automatically fail for no start level. The onlinestartlocal is a level where you select whether your male or female(It looks similar to Val's class selection system). I think it would be a little more helpful to add some text, such as
"Select your Gender, Press S to choose.".

Moving on, the level after after that you get all the system NPCs, many of which look great. The level above that has two NPCs that will scroll through heads, and allow you to choose one, and once that lets you change your clothes. A sign should be added somewhere that offers directions, it took me awhile to figure out the clothes changing NPC.

However, the rooms next to it give directions how to change clothes and head.

It introduces you to a storyline in that level too, though it doesn't seem to be a huge storyline. Gaia is the spirit of earth, throughout your quests you'll get globes(wind globe, fire globe, etc.), with each globe you get a fullheart/weapon. Bring all the globes together in a temple and the ultimate Gaia spirit appears.... (The story ends here)

The overworld looks pretty good, they re did the fulleharts, but not to some confusing status bar, they made them into actual hearts. I personally like that better than status bars.

The door system is nifty, it shows you actually opening the door, and the door swinging open. Not just suddenly disappearing.

Occasionally while walking through the main town, things will suddenly go black for a second and then return to normal..... I don't know if this is just a problem offline, or on my computer, or a problem with the script...


Moving a little bit out of town, I found a building that led to a quest. The first 2 parts of the quest were your basic "hack your way through a million baddies and win". This server has some great scripting, it's a shame to have boring quests like these.
At the end of the quest there is a scripted boss, in a room where balls constantly shoot at you and there are explosions all over. I easily lured the boss into one of the explosions and it keep hitting him until he died.

Anyways, the main town takes up most of the world, and the town is pretty good. However, the farther away you get from it, level quality gets a bit worse. There is almost no tiling on the ground, it's just plain grass.

wow, A giant slide....it's actually quite fun! If only there were some tiling around it.

There doesn't appear to be much to do, if you've done the quest. I'm sure if it were online there'd be an events team to hold events, but there doesn't appear to be many places to do it. There's a soccer arena, but it's still under construction, as are many of the buildings.

This server is pretty good, and has great potential. I love the new Graphics they have for chairs, doors, and chests, and the system where it slows you down going upstairs is pretty neat. I'm pretty sure if they fix up a few things they'll pass real soon.

Gaia Status: Fail.

Nice Review Jinx

Your a disgrace to failing pw's your supose to put it in red!!!! ;)

I was really looking forward to seeing Gaia online..

= /...about the quests I explained (.txt)..

Off-topic: How would you review playerworlds that have been designed with an NPC Server in mind, anyway? They can't be tested offline.

urgh sorry Amon-Ra...
your a great scripter thou :)
can we see a map :(?

lol, I didn't put the fail in red because it really was is a great server, I love the NPCs, it just needs to improve with the levels.

nice review Jinx!

...
 

good review jinx! Amon ra good job with the NPCs

That hasn't been taken up with Stefan yet.

prolly have like a server up and then upload the files there and test it.

Wow, that's really a great review Jinx! I understand why they chose you for the job, keep it up!

That's a very good point. If someone sent in the current Graal2k1, it'd probably fail because none of the NPCs would work.

Not that it would deserve to pass anyway. ;)

Wow, those npcs are wickedness! You could use some better level makers.... I bet if you find someone willing to remake all the lvs for your YOU ARE GOING TO PASS. The levels are poor no offence but the npcs are wicked! Keep it up!

thanks = )

Urgh I hope this isnt considered as spam but amon. cheek ur pm XD

I agree, those NPCs look great, just work on your levels ;) don't rush it.

For some reason I can't seem to attach files, otherwise I'd attach a screenshot of the PONG game =)

(My high score on the pong game got to 58!)

-Jinx

I wanted to see Gaia up, together with Maloria... :(

Besides, I didn't get a full review by Hawk, but I liked because it passed anyway ;) (I wanted to see Maloria's Status: Pass)

Don't worry, if Amon Ra can find someone to fix up a few levels, it'll be up =)

-Jinx

I heard he completely gave up on Gaia now. :(

*applauds* I don't need to say what's been said already, but very well done, Jinx. :)

Fix it up. Looks elite.

I'd really like to redo those levels *drools*..... would be great.

Ferret:
I've been working some whit levels (Mithica (not the best server hehe, i was Levels Admin) and a few other small projects like on Andor, but nothing big)

So if you want help.. write it here, DON'T pm me

Very nice review Jinx!
They have VERY nice gfx but yes I agree the levels needs some work but other than that and with the levels worked on it should be a great addition to the Graal servers....;)

LMAO
*goes and sends Amon Ra some levels*
muhuhaha :D

I'll help out with the levels.

~Prince Dark

He reviews better than me. ;)

Dun' lie =P

-Jinx

I told you that you'd do good. :)

ya
 

ya jinx your review was very good, hopefully some day I can be writing some reviews =D. anywayz, Psyker if you come back here is there being a PW Review website made? if not ill make it

Gaia
 

Gaia is a pretty good server, Amon-Ra is very competent , about playerworld,he know how to manage one.I wanted to see Gaia up.
Some PlayerWorlds needs to be removed, does not go to cite names, I think, all Graal knows which is these servers.
Necessary Stefan to give space for new very goods servers how Gaia and Maloria.

(X-Mann)
Dont think he was, that was the best review I've seen in a long time

Gaia
 

Gaia is a pretty good server, good job Amon-Ra, keep trying..
:D
