Help Wanted! Heads up for play testing my golf game.

[andrewclose]

Hello PH,

I've enjoyed lurking these forums for a while now and thought now would be a good time to join up (upon the recommendation of a friend of mine who is a regular user/poster) since I have a bit of a cheeky favour to ask, and I think this would be an ideal place to carry out some market research.

Long story short, I'm currently studying a computer games course at Manchester University. For my final year project, I have to create a game based on the given tile of "3D Golf Game". I decided to go down a technically led route rather than making a game that looked good. I tried to make the game as realistic as possible so used an accurate physics model to make the ball act as accurately as I could.

What I'm asking is if any of you chaps would mind having a go at playing my game and then rating it with a short questionnaire that I have drawn up?

The rules, instructions and controls etc are in the readme file and for any members who may be kind enough to help me out, I can PM you with my email address so you send the questionnaire to provide me with some feedback for my course.

Here is the link to the game file:

Cheers, have fun!

Great Spott!

Nice work Lamp. Could well be genuine, but better to be on the safe side.

Yep I guess you guys are right! I didn't think about that! Any advice on a different way of doing this please? Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks

It's not flash, which actually makes it sound worse doesn't it! You said that Rapidshare is not verified, do you know of any that can?

I think considering the fact that the OP has continued to post, I don't think it is quite so malicious as thought to start with. OP, can you take a screenshot of said game? I'll have a look at the questionnaire too if you have one to complete?

Here is a screen shot of the game:

ps thanks for believing in me!

I'll have a look this evening as I'm currently at work. Do you have a copy of the questionnaire that you can email?

[andrewclose]

Yeah sure, just PM me your email and ill send you it.

[CypherP]

YHM. I'll see if I can take a look later.

OP is 100% legit, I'm the friend he mentions in his first post and I've played his game - I'm not a gamer though so some proper feedback from you guys would be worth a lot more than any opinion of mine!
