Ember's FlowJam Reviews (CLOSED)

im not (and the code in the guns is mine so is the ai bundle in the bots so is the charactor and the black and white)

From what I’m hearing, it seems like you made slight modifications to his code.

Slight modifications != Your own code. That’s not how it works.
If it’s an example sure take whatever code you need, but when it’s actually a real game, be more considerate. Even if you’re ā€œtesting itā€, very good chance you’ll use a ton of the system in place from it.

And I don’t think you made this for the jam, given that I literally saw this game with basically nothing in it a couple of days ago. But if you do want to submit for the jam, just click the page where it says the rules. After 3-4 days of the jam starting, there will be a submit button at the top of the page.

I mean no offense by this, but you’re not as good as you think, or haven’t done anything to prove it. I feel you often act as if you do some amazing code, when in reality it’s just slight modifications to an example. I don’t say this to discourage you, I say this to get you to actually improve. Knowing where your true limits are and not overestimating yourself is super important to improving.
Of course everyone probably thinks they’re slightly better than they actually are, but when you blow it out of reality that’s not helpful at all.


However, upon examining this myself, I don’t think it looks like galactians code. While his code isn’t as neat as I would personally like, it’s not a mess. And the code here is just ew. But of course everyone will blindly disagree with me and say ā€œif it works, it worksā€.
But once again, I don’t know the original code of Bloodlust like Galactian does, so if he sees it being very similar, then idk what to say.

If Galactican is okay with it, hifive could just rename the game to ā€œDollar General Bloodlustā€ and he can learn to never steal someone’s game’s code ever again. Then Dollar General Bloodlust would be like a reminder to never steal someone’s code.

You’ll never learn if you just copy other people’s code.

i like mesy code

I believe I just threw up in my mouth by that statement. Messy code is bad and builds bad habits, please do not do this.

Sorry, but this topic was unofficially closed until next Flowjam, ask someone better than me at reviewing please. No one agrees with me.

Do you want us to commend you or something…?

I am afraid. What would you do if somethings didn’t work?

Probably nothing because I reject the existence of Eldabyss: Project X
