Topic: Word Searcher - Impressions Thread

I've noticed a few people here and there are curious about the game. If you have any questions, let me know and I'll be happy to answer them.

Well, that depends on what you're expecting. Could you provide more details?

(P.S. - I've been trying to upload some footage since yesterday but my connection hasn't been co-operating well. Hopefully things improve here on my Lappy.)

I'd be better off with just buying a word search at the store. (unless this one makes it where you can create your own puzzles)

That's a great idea actually. A custom creator/randomizer option. Too bad that doesn't exist.

I will probably get it. Just got too many games to play right now. I love word searches.

DsiWare version would be an insta-download for me.

Yeah, I'd be much more likely to download this on DSiWare. Word searches are fun when there's nothing else to do, in an airplane or something, but sitting on my couch in my living room, there's plenty of other things I could be doing.

Agreed 100%.

DSiWare definitley sounds better than WiiWare for a game like this.

How is the presentation? Does the game have nice look, clean menus, and catching to the eye.

Word on the street is they're going to release a DSiWare version. What, don't believe me?
Search for it yourself. Digital Leisure announced it a couple months back.

Yep, they are. I assumed everyone else know that, though.
@Tony: Presentation is what you'd come to expect from Digital Leisure - it gets the job done, does very little to impress. There could've been some altering backgrounds for the actual puzzle gameplay cause otherwise, it just takes place on a green background.

That is what I was concerned about. I wish a little extra effort would be put in to make it eye catching like Hudson, Nintendo, or Konami's Wii Ware titles.

Yes, and that's my strongest piece of advice for DL right now that I'd like to see them work towards improving in future titles (Copter Crisis and beyond).

When you see what small independent developers can do with the visuals on Wii Ware (such as Lost Winds, Nyx Quest, and Alien Crush R) its hard to excuse bland presentation. Hopefully DL will step with some better eye candy

Actually, that's not 100% true. They probably have more allocated funds for their projects whereas developers like DL (or even JV Games Inc.) are on a tighter budget.

I wonder if DL even has an artist (one that can draw well), other than a graphic designer? I saw their character designs for their Texas hold em game, that's why I ask. I assume the answer is no, judging by that.

Hmm, maybe I should apply. After all, I am an aspiring Graphic designer, I have experience, and I live near their HQ.

KS8: Yeah. I could too. Though I probably don't live near them.
From what I've heared at college was that some (or alot? I dont recall.) can't actually draw (or draw well most likely). I found that interesting. It's good for those of us who can.

I've heard the same thing at my college. My program is going back to fundamentals and basics first. And yeah, I'm not a great artist.
