Alight Z, so I noticed I see a lot of people with the same name and those who I don't see very long obviously are just playing the trial. So I thought to myself 'how could Z get more paying customers?'. First I took a hard look at the cosmetics of the game...first thing that I want to change is the app picture. Sure, its a good picture but its very boring compared to a lot of other air combat apps, I mean u only see two planes from the back. Why not the front view of the spad swooping down infront of us with an exploding hanger behind it? Next I looked at the game menu....boring brown with boring pieces of paper and a few old photos. Why don't we change that brown to shaded camo, make the paper labels metal dogtags, and inplace of the pictures you could put video of intense in-game footage with some searing ambient sounds like planes shooting and buzzing around in the backround. Then I looked at the forum, its ok, but how bout an exciting backround? The one thing you NEED to change is the gameplay video, if your trying to get some of the hardcore market like the ace combat people then you need to show them what your app is REALLY like. Lastly I looked at multiplayer itself, its great. and there isn't much improvement it needs other than things your already working on. In short some visuals are what your missing, now what I suggested to replace somethings are only examples....I don't really want camo, or dogtags, or etc but what I do want is some love and attention given to peoples first impression of the app, I know that u think people should only judge an app by its gameplay, but in reality you have to 'glitter your own gold'. Let's face it, dogfight is a kick a** app but the visual displays leading up to the gameplay are kind of...in need of improvement. Well that's just my two cents bud, if you decide to change anything cosmetic about the game post previews on the forum for us to approve.

What about the loading multiplayer he could put stuff there u have some great ideas. Dogfight has come a long way in the last year senci got it so yup!!

"I know that u think people should only judge an app by its gameplay"
when did i ever said that, i hope you don't think so

I put lots of effort on graphics, in fact, it's where I've spent most of the $ since I've paid professional designers for it. None of the graphics you see were made by me. The only problem is that it's really hard to find good designers that know how to make things look cool. The designs you see are after 7 or 8 different people with different designs and I had to pick the best one... and paid lot of money for it :/

I've also tried about making a good presentation video, I've paid a few pros to do it and after paying lot of money they came up with really bad stuff. It's just the pains you have to go through when you are an indie dev, you have to do lot of trial and error until you find the right people. When I get $ the first thing I do is try to get someone to improve the looks of the game but since it's an art, no matter how much $ you put, it depends on how lucky you are with the person that is doing the job.

Hell, I could make you a new app pic if you want....no garentee it will look good but Ill post it here when I'm done. If u want

well well, thanks for the offer but you see... "no guarantee it will look good" nope
that's the main issue right now, all designers i have say something in that line... i need it to look AWESOME, otherwise people will keep posting saying: hey, put some love on the visuals.

so anyone that knows how to make this looks fantastic, awesome, extraordinary so that the eye candy is there, i'm all for it

I have 2 friends that are awsome with computers and a friend that is great at drawing. But u shold put in a server time

People interested should post a link to their portfolio so that we all can evaluate the quality

You know what i think? Maybe the app pic doesn't need to be overly complex. The simpler it is the more professional it seems...just look at Facebook, angry birds, or even F.A.S.T.'s pics. Simple but high quality. So maybe u should ask ur designer to keep it simple.

Slenderman should design something.

Yep slender man is a amazing artist but it would be his choice and zupermans choice the both must agree.

the app picture doesn't need any changing

I agree with that lets take good screenshots for app store of action and explosion and planes going down and intense dogfights. I think that doing that and puting them in app store would make it sell.

Skydavis is your profile pick the controls u use???

Yes why.

Most players use the first person veiw. Its much eaiser to aim as the bullets shoot straight thru the middle of the sights. Does playing 3rd person help you while turning?

I play in first person o was talking about that I youse detailed cokpit and youse movment control images of joystick and that stuff but I fly most of the time in 3rd person but I go to first when I need to shoot.
