@hezkore: I disagree with Monkey 2 not being ready. Have you seen some of the other offerings out there that people are paying for?
But I do agree about first impressions and the documentation. The manuals are sufficient for people coming from other BRL products, but I think they leave new comers a little cold. And the website, while efficient and fast, doesn’t do much to promote the product. I you look at other, competing product, web sites, they are bright, big fonts and with lots of images and animations. All of which would be fairly easy to implement (speaking as a web developer). Whilst I, like a number of developers, work with dark themes in my IDE, I personally think that web sites should be bright and inviting, and for a product such as Monkey 2, they need information on games created with it. Apart from the forums, there is no mention on this site about success stories.
Anyway, just my 2 pennies worth.
Here’s something to really consider:
where are the examples, the demos and the tutorials?You want to be taken seriously, WTF is “Bananas”?
Maybe the tutorials can be kept in “trees”?
Possible the demos in “sharks bottom”?How about documentation in “flubber” <- this won’t be complete, or actually have any working code, or be able to have functional copy, paste of code.
While we are at it, why not keep changing stuff so that it breaks other stuff further down the line, either intentionally or just for fun
How about a great website that allows cod to be posted, plaice to be eaten and lobsters to be praised? But messes up the output and adds crayons, pens, paint, and fingers along the way?
Maybe even have cut/copy of code that pastes garbage?
Branding – in this case, might be pushing it a bit.
Oh. And I’m really looking forward to be finally seeing the individual hamd-carved, one-of-a-kind, all leather bound set of 600 individually bound manuals that someone promised and bound in reverse font-mangled gilt-lined goodness, and bound – sometime, somewhere, possibly in another dimension!
Seriously, get over it. move on, nothing to see here…
Too much sherry methinks!
