Looks like 3DGS A3 (if you ever used that engine you'll know what I mean!)
Aka 1994 graphics - no offence please... dont be offended :S people gets offended when I comment something, thats why I must tell you Its not an offence- a game can have excellent graphics and be boring to death - a game could look not that good but be so fun and addictive that you'll forget about your job and play it till you finish / reach certain point - thats good.

You aint kiddin?

Oh my god yes you used A5.. jesus...

But just for the background no?? Doesnt look like its being rendered all the time, looks more like a backdrop... if its rendered all the time then youre not going to perform good in game development

- as its static no camera movement, no need for rendering a scene. anyway enough blablas

(Theres olders before A5 which looked like your screenie thats why I said that) because I can tell you with which engine a game was developed by watching a couple of screenies (most of the times I hit the nail) and same thing with models.. when you show me a screenshot of a wip model, I can tell you which modelling package you're using, sometimes which version as well. But dont "test" me by sending some pics of random stuff..

I got things to do here.

I wonder why people uses that crappy engine....
I even worked in a game development team which was using that engine (but A6 PRO).

by the way its DagCrack not Dagdrack

I'll take it as a typo ass the D is close to the C and vice versa (yes ASS is a typo, and I made it on purpose).

Man, you seem like a really negative person dude. You really need to lighten up. Have a beer, or ten...

I don't think A6 is a crappy engine... At least it's better in 3d than Purebasic

Because the Ogre engine, well...
Anyway, I don't see the point, the rendering is made with DirectX, so I don't see where you can see a difference

The only difference you can see is how levels are made, which textures are used, ...

I see many difference..
No im not a negative person, thats what you think, IM NOT I AM NOT OK? I AM NOT. .. see im not, im funny

I have my reasons to not like 3dgs. If you don't know them, then don't say im negative... please. If you want to know them, I'll write the whole story, when I get time.

I would love to know the full story, as I think 3DGS is quite good, even if it has its bad points (the licensing, the price, the language, the updates, ...

)

Hey and that list of bad things, goes on for 30 minutes! And I have people and friends who are with me willing to fill the list too! but its way hard, too many points to fill!!

- Yep this guys bought (bah the "boss") the pro version.. used license but legal, Hmm I was like "you're nuts.. why dont you use a cheaper but better engine and thats about all" but oh well ... I had to port every model I made to their lame mdla6 format which loses a lot of data on the conversion.. because most convertors works at mdla5 or even older level oh well the models were ok.. although they looked like old crap in that engine! while in emh any other looked good as they were.

Maybe i'll write the story later...

And sorry to jihack the thread, wasnt my intention.. A constructive critic for the game would be.. add more action! different types of flys (bigger, radio-active, a boss on every level, etc). change the background! (use themed backdrops, in example.. the desk, the bathroom, the car, any place where you got bothered by a fly

) And I could keep on listing if you want (?). Cheers

I got about the same feeling when I played the game, it's always the same, changing a little like dagcrack suggested would really add some action in the game, but apart from that I think your game is pretty cool !

What if I don't feel like installing... ?
I got to tell you guys that an installer wont make your game any better Wink in fact, worst for many people. Like me, I dont install crap, no I aint saying this is crap, I'm just saying it doesnt diserve to be installed in my systems!! why dont people give rars with their game, no installers, that will make the world nicer for sure. Or I'm wrong?

My thoughts exactly, i never try any software which has an installer. I only try out .zips or .rars. There just is no need for small stuff to have installers.

Most of the time, there's an uninstall with the installation, which allow you to uninstall all the install program copied on your hard drive, so I don't see the problem
Me too.
But a black screen appears when i run this game , nothing else?

My guess is the screen is filled with black flyes

Have a look at that flash game. Maybe it's an inspiration for a possible second
version of your game :
