Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

It has been a while since I have made some changes, but here is what I have been working on. What do you guys think?
DragoArt - Redesign

Thank you, for your great advice, and guidance. I'll be sure to ask more questions when I need it. I'll start off by plotting the code of which I need to create, first. Once again; thank you!

Hello - this is Dan. I have been asking the most ridiculous questions on Newgrounds. Most of'em are just straight up insane to help with, but I have an easy load for you all, hopefully. I have just finished 2 books on ActionScript 3.0, and for general Flash CS6 use. I am now wondering how people actually make their own code with the prior knowledge that has been developed from these books. I learned how to put things together, but how do I create something, like a video game to be precise?
Things that I have learned in books...
- Using/creating classes.
- Design patterns.
- Object orientated programming.
- Using/creating functions.
- Using/creating conditional statements.
- Working with videos.
- Working with media servers.
I know how to use the stuff, and write code, but what do I do with it? How do I get started?

I like that you simplified the logo a bit, but I'm sure you can do it even simpler while keeping most of its original expression - I would recommend redrawing it all the way from the beginning though.

Thank you! I will be working on it right away :)

I think the lines are still too thick, colors too bright and the font doesn't really look badass.

But then again, I'm no expert.

But the thick lines is part of the Dragoart style? The font does not have to be "Bad ass." The colours are too bright, which is something that I agree with. I will tweak it a lot more.

Okay, so how is this one; any better?

Wow; you are a real help. Thank you, and I will be sure to show some ideas :)
Cheers!

I'd suggest not making it look so much like deviantART's logo.

I was afraid that someone would say that xD
I am not much of a logo type person. I am more with laying out designs. I can make other graphics, but when it comes to logos, I fail.

Okay, so here is the new layout that I have been working on. Has it improved? What are the things that I must fix?

Redesign Benchmark 01

Thank you for the replies, mates.
Yes, by the way. People have been uploading Dragoart tutorials on this site, and I have nothing to do with their uploads. I uploaded one, a long time ago, and I do not use Newgrounds as such way, for I have grown out of that stuff.
The replies really do help me. I will try to design something more teen friendly. I will be sure to upload some progress.

Bump... anybody?

Hello, mates. I am a web designer/graphic designer, and I was wondering how I could upgrade this banner to a more pofessional/teen look. I have been struggling on this banner for a while, now, and I have come to a conclusion to share the banner for feedback. What are the things that I am doing wrong, as a graphic designer/web designer when it comes to this banner? Yes, by the way; I am a graphic designer/web designer for Dragoart.

You can view the full image, here: Dragoart Logo

I don't know, I just might compete. So I have to create a Newgrounds type thing; something that represents Newgrounds?

Thanks guys xD
I have Manga Studio now and it is awesome! Thank you for the support. Newgrounds can close this thread now.

Glad we could help :D

Yes, great help :P

I thought it was free. I never paid to download mine. It says it's a trial version, but where it should say the number of days left in the trial it's blank for some reason. Maybe it'll expire on me when I'm not expecting it. I dunno.

Full version is able to be downloaded from the English Patch site or TPB.

Thanks guys xD

It's a bit clunky and buggy at times but it has advantages like the ability to scale your art in size without blurring them or losing quality.

Thanks, and I do agree that Paint Tool Sai is great for line art. I just don't feel like spending money for it. Creative Suite CS6 was enough. I will give Flash a try.

Manga Studio Debut looks awesome. I will give it a try.

Okay, I'm an artist here on Newgrounds and have been uploading some art. So far, I am getting tired of Photoshop CS6. The lines seem too smooth and fade that it just makes the lines not the way I want them. I want my lines sharp and clear with smooth edges; not COMPLETELY smooth, just sharp, clear, and smooth edges.
So I went to go try Paint Tool Sai, and it is awesome, but I don't feel like buying it. I payed money on the Adobe CS6 Creative Suite, and don't want to spend anymore. Is there a way to make Photoshop lines as Paint Tool Sai? Before I upload more artwork here, I want to make them better with perfect lines.

C:\Users\username\Desktop\Flash Practice\as_scripts\car.as
C:\Users\username\Desktop\Flash Practice\car\Car.as

Also the name of the class cant be indentical to the name of the package. This is very basic so I suggest that you read some tutorials on actionscript 3 before experimenting.

I know, I just started learning today. I'm reading a book and don't like watching videos. Thank you, it worked beautifully :D

I have just started to learn AS3 and was having a bit of a problem with my package test script. First, let's get the code out of the way.

FILE LOCATION (./as_scripts/car.as)

package car {

import flash.display.Sprite;

public class car extends Sprite {

public var engine:String = "This car has an engine.";

}

}

FILE LOCATION (./main.fla)

var myCar:car = new car();
trace(myCar.engine);

I already defined the document class which is as_scripts.car, but when I test it I get this error: 5001: The name of package 'car' does not reflect the location of this file. Please change the package definition's name inside this file, or move the file. C:\Users\username\Desktop\Flash Practice\as_scripts\car.as. Does anyone know what the problem is?

i have just one question for you,
is it a side scrolling horizontal platformer, or u can span all the way upwards?

Both.

I fixed the problem with my character repeating the sound a lot when jumping, but there's one more bug. How do I make a stable platform for the character? I'm keep getting something like this when the character lands from a high jump or fall.

Put it like your jump code, only when it's touching the ground AND the jump button is being pressed.

Would it look like this?

Yeah, something like that. You don't want the player to be able to jump while already in the sky either, right?

Don't put code on movieclips by the way, it's bad practice.

Great! It worked :D

Thanks a whole bunch. Thanks for the tip as well. The main character (Movieclip) only has script on it. It's just that the game is starting to clutter and got lazy :P

I'm going to upload the game on Newgrounds soon. I'll say when uploaded.

tried it :(

I finished the game but what's stopping me from uploading is this one problem.

Would it look like this?

onClipEvent(load){
mjump = new Sound();
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

if(Key.isDown(Key.UP) and (touchingGround)){
mjump.attachSound("smw_jump");
mjump.start(0,1);
}

I'm making a Mario game and every time when he jumps, the sound keeps repeat till he lands. Here's my script.

onClipEvent(load){
mjump = new sound(this);
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
mjump.attachSound("smw_jump");
mjump.start(0,1);
}
}

It depends on how much money we make on the Newgrounds revenue.

Hey Newgrounders, me and a friend of mine are creating a new anime series for Newgrounds. We've got top shape storyline and characters and we need a few animators/voice actors/background artists.

If possible and if the series becomes popular, we all can share Newgrounds revenue for the efforts.

We need nicely designed backgrounds that fits a fantasy/asian look, voice actors for the protagonists/antagonists, and animators for some of the anatomy/special effects.

Below is a screenshot from an intro scene of the flash.

What we need for VA's:

A female heroine - Tomboyish character Asuka

2 male villains- Sneaky and manipulating The Villains

A male hero- Teen voice, strong willed, funny, uptight, brother to the female heroine. (no picture)

Minion voices - Minions are large creatures that serve the two male villains. We need deep voices and sometimes sharp pitched ones.

What we need for animators:

We need animators with rich backgrounds that can be instantly prepared for scenes by our compiling animator. If possible, it would be lovely to have a few animators for special effects (explosions, background movements, etc). An animator that can do animation for action scenes would be lovely as well.

Drop us a note if you can contribute!
