Thanks for all of the reviews, comments and votes on the Paladin game so far! Its score peaked at 4.44 which saw it reach #3 of all time in the flash portal. It's great to have the game do so well after so much work. All up it took just over 3 months for Jazza and I to finish, working hours similar to a full time job.

Huge thanks to Jazza for allowing me to code the game, and for always pushing the envelope with the features he wanted to include in the game.

I would like to fix the issues mac users are having though. If anyone has a mac with cs3 installed, and wouldn't mind running a quick test for me, please let me know.

I'm not really sure how to check that since it was over so many files, but a search for semi colons turned up just over 8,500.

Paladin was a pretty good game, but it was waaaaaay too hard for me. I was totally pounded to a bloody pulp in the first fight. I had to frantically kick again and again to keep the monsters away.

you are a code god, the game is amazing, i hated the priest fight though, BUT I DID IT! ^_^ what actionscript did you use 2.0 or 3.0?

We started out with as2 but eventually switched to as3. Took about a week to convert because we were so far through already :s

what's the problem with mac users? i played it once, it went fine, but i only went through the tut, because my scroll ball is broken going down.

Dec. 30, 2007 | 2:34 AM Moonkey responds:

A lot of mac users are saying that they get stuck on the spinning sword screen. That's interesting if you got past it on a mac. Maybe its only certain player versions.

lol, its not only mac users then, cause i got that problem once too. Eventually i figured out that my comp was blocking the mochibot server. After i fixed that it worked fine......

WTF. How did you reach level 23?

I may or may not have been cheating on a test version.

The game is kinda gay.

Dec. 30, 2007 | 4:45 PM rtil says:

kudos to you for all your coding work but imo it was in vain. the art is really generic and kind of spoils the experience

"I may or may not have been cheating on a test version."

haha, I love doing stuff like that, people have no idea. I also hide small easter eggs in my work, like typing in names and stuff on the menu or credits screen will bring up messages for friends, nearly nobody knows about these things though :P

Anyway, great work on this game, it like many good games didn't get as much attention as it deserves, you did an amazing job though. Also thanks for all the help you've thrown my way in the flash forum, I actually have snippets of code that say,

//Moonkey helped me out with this part, good guy

true story hehe, peace.
