RE: Arcanes : Online Mystery Serial

It's not very good. First of all, you should never convert bitmaps into vector images and just go with it; it's the mark of an amateur animator. Either trace it or draw it from a reference if you're going to be working in Flash because its greatest feature is the ability to work with vector graphics and worse yet the bitmaps they used were very low-res which makes them just look more awful. Also, only some of the interactable items are vectorized which means it's extremely difficult to tell what items you can pick up, and the game is on a timer which means you will have to hear "What am I supposed to do with that?" and "Impossible" until you find something you can use or die. If it were better designed the timer might provide some real tension but now it's just annoying. There are also some technical problems with the coding I don't want to go into because the developers aren't reading this but having designed and programmed a few games using Flash & ActionScript myself and animating for quite a few years this is just lazy.
