I like that you're adding trailers to your reviews. I was planning on advertising a few XNA games in our upcoming Angry Barry; I might give these reviews a shoutout too.

No plans on stopping, but we really do need sponsors, AND we need our viewers to support them in order to grow and be successful. ie buy Duality: ZF when it comes out :)

Thanks for watching

[matthewdoucette]

i almost can't wait to see what your next sponsor will be...

No sweat on the credit. I just threw it out there as an idea. I hope it works.

[iphoneroundup]

Sweet thanks! glad you like it!

[iphoneroundup]

LOL!

Hey, I wanted to give you credit in the show but my script was already going beast on me, so u ended up on the cutting room floor so to speak, but the idea is a good one for sure, If it works out we'll prob. will do more stuff like this so maybe you'll have time then.

Thanks again,

Nick

i hope that explains why we had to break down the scoreboards according to team sizes, beyond the original 24 game styles. in testing, locally competitive gameplay ruined the gaming experience and making the player focus on a team effort, by giving them all the team score, fixed it. so the scoreboards had to be split across team sizes. hope that makes sense. the presentation of all these scoreboards in the game is not confusing, and well laid out.

[matthewdoucette]

2P, 3P, and 4P efforts are considered team efforts, where each player gets the team score. this makes the game locally cooperative and globally competitive. but, it separates the 2P, 3P, and 4P efforts as a larger team cannot be measured against a smaller one. we considered combining all the teams scores together, but it was unfair. however, we do count smaller teams in with the larger teams. a 2P team effort will break into the 4P team scoreboards.

[matthewdoucette]

yes. not to be confused with game modes. there are 6 game modes (home, arcade, bullet hell, survival, score rush, boss rush), each can be played with 4 control modes (solo play, dual play, multidirectional, g-mode), which brings the total to 24 game styles, each of which can be played 4x multiplayer (1P, 2P, 3P, and 4P), which brings the total to 96 ways to play Duality ZF, each with their own online scoreboard. continued...

96 game styles?
