I have to do an art project where I have to make something one can wear that has one big advantage but may cause many more problems or inconveniences.

Have you guys heard of thisbefore?

Examples

Hope you guys like my vision of the colours. This is what it looked like in my head.
I will be putting statues in those big black hole/entrace things !
And then cracks, broken stone, junk.

Floor is temporary !

Sweet I really like how vibrant it is. only thing i suggest is making the floor a slight different tone under the 'rainbow gradient' so it stands out as a floor rather than the walls behind. The character stands out which is good too. good work so far, interested to see how the background objects turn out!

Who?

Moar spam, started coloring the main thing, details (cracks, all that junk) will be later.
Took me 15 mins to find the right colors :|

i like it so far, i really like the character too. just make sure he doesn't blend in with the background too much. you want the action to take place with the things that stand out the most

Hm maybe it's for programming chips in electrical circuits?

I would suggest to start at the head so you can control the acceleration and angle velocity and vectors along the shaft. From there, control the friction and heat variables. This will enable you to put in a speed regulator for the player.

http://www.newgrounds.com/downloads/prel oaders/ Download one of these and put it on the first frame of your Flash. There should be a tutorial in one of the frames of the .fla you download.

This is a discussion thread though so if you have any more problems I'd look up other preloader questions in the forum search bar or make a topic about it on the Flash forum.

Approximately zero, although I partook in it several times when it became the themed taunt in TF2 over the weekend :3

haha that sounds fun. i haven't played tf2 in a long long time. games nowadays cannot hold my attention span...did they do anything else halloweenwise in that game? like costumes etc?

Yeah, I'm talking about an 'anime' community though, rather than an 'artistic' community. Like to be accepted by other anime lovers, you have to be able to trace or crudely draw the most popular characters

wtf.

I think anime at that level (low) is more of an acceptance into some sort of community rather than actually being good at drawing. that's why those people are saying 'cute' instead of anything artistic related

my cousin just released his first cartoon to newgrounds for halloween

well i was also thinking a spirit bomb being charged with that blue glow underneath it and all

but a death star would be quite the pun :P

i love the clouds. the moon appears to be in front of them though? maybe you could have it peek over from behind them and have some more dramatic light on the clouds nearby

Movieclips are good for looping animation and symbols, manipulating it with Actionscript (spawning it onto the stage, and basically doing whatever you need to with code), and it's good for a simple animation that you can get messy with on the main timeline and it will still loop.

Graphics are good for simple animation where you aren't planning on using code. You can set it to Loop animation, play once, or use a still frame from it, without having to code those things with Actionscript. You can also start it on a certain frame. They're good for syncing on the main timeline and manipulating the animation within it. I'd recommend using these if you're not going to code anything.

For example, if you were to use different weapons in a character's hand, you could make 10 different weapon hands inside a graphic and just switch between which frame you want (switch between which weapon you want him to be holding) in the properties window. Or if you want a wheel to spin once then stop, set it to loop for a few frames then enter a new keyframe and set it to Still Frame on the frame it ends on. If you wanted it to play more than once you could loop it and cut it short with a keyframe.

I'm going as a super saiyan probably lol. My hair goes past my bottom lip when straightened so it could work. Hopefully I'll find enough blond hairspray and super duper hair gel.
If not, I'll just got as Hercules from DBZ.

And yeah i'm goin trick or treating :)
What are you going as ? Or at least dressing up as ?

I wear a fuzzy bright green hat and carry a pokeball with me, all in normal clothes. Cus really, it's hard to go to parties in a huge extravagant outfit......and i'm lazy

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?

When my friend showed me Genyu's Blade at the top of the Top 50 list

What do you most enjoy about the site?

the inspiration, competitiveness, and opportunity it gives someone to post their stuff and get some good feedback from at least a few (usually for me) unbiased anonymous individuals

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?

i'd ask for 100 more wishes. wait a second....no i actually have no idea what the most professional choice would be considering budget costs and marketing stability of certain things. i would add a classics section though, voter based from older users, to be able to vote in the old stuff that used to be in the top 50...

i might also make the staff take a break from site design (if thats what they work on all day) make tons of art and animation tutorials because it'd be nice to have different styles that make up the site be able to teach those learning. right now I just see a lot of 'how to use flash' tutorials, and not actual animation or drawing skills. (which take lots of practice of course, as well)

Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)

i would like those animations back, i would also like to see the NG Alpha section revived and used by sponsored submissions with interviews and whatnot. or maybe up and rising user interviews, telling us about their secrets of getting so good so fast!

mmmmmmmmm i can already taste them

Gotta Respect The Classics.

hi res version

haha cool. it seems like the sag on his right cheek is a bit bigger than the one on the left. and the ear is sticking out a bit too far and a bit too low down by his neck. try raising that up to eye-nose level. otherwise i like all the line work you did!

Yeah a sidescroller shooter game would probably be best because the animations are simple enough yet the amount of enemies and graphics could be endless. It could also get a few different artists in without making their styles clash (background art, player, enemies, bosses could have different styles and it would probably work fine).

I was talking to some folks about the idea of getting the Art Forum involved with the creation of a game. If we could find a generous coder and an animator to help out (maybe make some templates to guide artists for some of the animations that would be needed) I think we could make something really cool.

The Flash Forum Lounge may have interested coders in it. I know Toast recently asked if anyone wanted to do art for a game. There's mostly coders in that thread it seems like anyways...

love the generator

Finding Newgrounds

My cousin gave me a trial of Flash after we discovered stickdeath.com at age 12 or 13
then
My friend Syruplord showed me Genyu's Blade here on Newgrounds when we were like 13 (it was at the top of the 50 list with like a 4.16. that was pretty darn good back in the day.)

So what did everyone think of the game.

I though it was good but being a minigame didn't deserve the score.

I really like how all of wiesi's games give me a huge adrenaline rush every time i play them. Being a shark that can pull down these ridiculously gigantic spacecrafts is icing on the cake.

In terms of core gameplay, I can't say that it's the most original out there (jumping and repeatedly hitting a button) but the way it's implemented just gives a whole new feeling to it and makes it really fun and entertaining.

The one thing I don't like is that most of his games end so quickly that it'd probably be hard to take one of his ideas and turn it into a full fledged title. I'm interested in seeing what he has up his sleeves though because all his games are just plain fun.
