Turn that maybe into a mos def. :D
All the magical mysteries of textile/profile formatting can be solved with this post written by this man.
Also, nice level. I see you didn’t hack for any of your badges, so +1 internets to you, but then your game made me rage again, so -1. :)

What do you have in mind exactly? Most basic programming questions can be answered by looking at tutorials and forum posts (Google is your friend) or consulting the Flash online doc. If you mean collaborating on a project, let’s talk.

Well obviously not straight away, I’d like to get a grasp of it before I collaborate purely so I don’t slow us down every five seconds by going “wut, I don’t get it” so I’m probably talking sometime next year.

“I’m saying the badge maker sucks. And he’s going to ruin OTHER games” Badges send traffic to your game, you ungrateful brat. The only way they can ‘ruin’ your game is by making more players aware of how crummy it is, but that’s hardly Greg’s fault now, is it?
“Notice how much the score of the game has dropped by a lot since it got badges” that’s because a lot of people suddenly became aware of your game’s existence, and not everybody even likes rhythm games. You went from a small audience of niche players to the general player base, and of course your rating went down. But if the hard badge was harder, your rating would only go lower. So, instead of acting like an entitled little whiner, thank your gods for small blessings.

I know not everybody likes rhythm games, but how would you feel if the vast majority of your game was compromised by the fact that all the badges can be got in level 1? People who say the game is mostly anime because there are 3 anime themed backgrounds in the first bunch of songs you unlock…

Say you made a game, you’re really happy with it. It’s not a rhythm game, and it contains no anime. Like, a Reincarnation game. (Which if you look at the last 3, you’ll find that I am in fact the programmer. I’ve gotten $3500 from the Reincarnation series so far.)

Say you made a reincarnation game.

Would you be happy if all of the game’s badges came from clicking on objects in the first room of the game? Would it encourage players to play your game until they got to the fun parts?

Thanks! I read your post, and I agree with it, although I doubt they’ll do anything about it. Right now I’ve gotten used to how the game works, and only two things still bother me: the main story quests require a lot of backtracking, which is incredibly boring, and the game always needs to be connected to the server, even though most of the content is single player, but they did it so they could shoehorn their dress up and Sims content in.

The worst so far was the stinkriders mission (main mission 16, if I recall). One of the targets was in an inaccessible area because the lifts were in the right configuration to allow free passage, so I had to reset all the lifts, come back the (very!) long way, redoing every lift puzzle, to kill it. It was an absolute pain. Indeed, I have not played RoS since. Since it will take another two weeks of voting for empty floats before I even get the medium badge (I refuse to do co-op, since you cannot finish the co-op if your partner quits mid-way and you cannot prevent that, total bull) I am not in any rush.

Yeah, i know what you’re saying… The fact that a good deal of the showy content requires you to pay for it kinda makes the game lose a little bit of equality… there’s no point in giving out different clothing if out of the 7 pages of options you can only choose one that doesn’t require you to pay for it.

I’ll be honest though, I don’t really mind the backtracking as much just because its easy to re-run areas you already know pretty well, however i do agree that it’s used a little too much… the fact that the sidequests AND the main story line quests both rerun the same areas time and time again is slightly more than irksome.
