two words: the menu

aanyways: tomorrow (the 10th) will be my last day with acces to the computer for a while, from the 11th all the way to the 24th, I'll be travelling, so I'll only have interwebs again by the 25th, so yeah, sorry about any incovenience...

@supersonic:
great part dude! but maybe it would be better if you added an in-between when waddle dee turns arround, that is, if you have the time, since the due date is so close...

@everyone: tomorrow (the 10th) will be my last day away from the computer for a while, from the 11th all the way to the 24th, I'll be travelling, so I'll only have interwebs again by the 25th, so yeah, sorry about any incovenience

@gustavos: agreed, waiting 1-2 weeks seems appropiate ;)

OH, that's awesome, can't wait to see the final project then, looks like we're finally in the right track :)
so mainly we need to:
-finish dance game and space cadet bob
-finish menu (actually, this is done already...)
-add achievements/medals
sweet :)

Yeah, I understand you, I just hope it doesnt well, "freeze" again... I mean, you are still working, and mesmerization too, but what about the other ppl that said they were gonna do a game in the last page? that's what annoys me so much, I really think that except if we get someone more dedicated, with a high BA or something, we shouldnt wait for all these people that say they're making a game... they dissapear before they even get an idea... for example, tri-circle and christobin, have you heard any news of them? if all goes well, we should have 8 games: bike, brickduel, air runner, chicken drop, moon walker, dance game, dodge-em, and space cadet bob, I'd like that to be enough, although I know that it isnt...
so... tl;dr: contact tri-circle and chris tobin, and hope for the best...
heh, sorry for that big rant, and on another topic, the game you and izzy are doing is looking sweet, so I'm looking forward to that :)

thanks, good improvement right there, lookin' way better ;)

Agreed.

Ooooh, it's so close, two more days :3

If you think you can script that then go ahead.

yeah, watever... :P
still, saying cursor is too confusing, just say "arrow keys to scroll" and have a "reset" btn instead of "reset cursor", make the mc with the "cursor" blank, and voila, makes more sense :P

What, shouldnt the cursor follow the mouse and not the arrow keys? plus why are some kirbies so hidden?
maybe we should make it just a "V"...

EPIC MENU IS EPICALLY EPIC :D
This collab is gonna be the biggest win ever >:D

you guys should have the play btn and the other ones fade in slowly so that the person has enough time to have a look at the awesome menu!

also, for some reason, after a while, the music starts to duplicate... having multiple music sounds played at once, all the same, but not aligned...

fial of my part, when you said bronto burt wings now had a black outline, I thought you were referring to chings, after all, koozer does replace bronto burt, but watever :P

Menu lookin' spiffy
although, we've got 2 bronto burts... o.o
and yes, everyone, visit the chat :D

sorry for the really long wait people but itll be worth it in the end even if it does come out on Christmas day

The collab, it's alive, finally, after so long, it's alive!!!
*evil laugh*
'twas time

glad to see this collab finally alive again :D
Christmas Day???!??!!!?? How about either b4 madness day (1-2 weeks) or after madness day (2-3 weeks)? That is if we don't finish till then...

At 7/3/10 08:01 AM, FlashfireEX wrote: How about July 10? Everyone agree? That's the deadline for all parts and the menu.

Agreed.
Then we could submit it this july, :D
I can feel it, I can feel the frontpage :P

I also agree with gustavos and supersonic, the next collab should have a 3 month deadline IMO, that gives chance to the dedicated ones to do 2-3 parts and to the lazy ones at least 1 part...

Also, I'll need to stay away from the computer this weekend, I'll be back monday though, hope to see lots of progress done once I come back...

You might want to look a bit into anticipation,
http://www.animationtoolworks.com/librar y/article9.html
This doesnt talk only about anticipation, but it should be a good read ;)
otherwise, for a first try it's pretty good, remenber to take into account what senorllama said above and maybe improve the art a bit.

still waiting for fla

Didn't he say he was gonna send it "tomorrow" about a week ago...?
anyways, we could send them to you if he takes too long, but something tells me he will send them soon, at least I hope so...
now, one question: what's the resolution you wanna use mike? cuz then I can edit my part so it can fit the new resolution without the black bars...

Or if I'd finish my part, wait, what? XD
I could actually do a third part but: 1. I'm lazy; 2. The collab is filled
Anyways how does the menu go liquid?
and flashfire, have you decided upon the bios yet?

Alright, menu almost done, were just waiting on 4 parts (ching, ikool, gustavos, joseph), everything looking fine, Flashfire, you should send a PM to everyone who hasnt handed in their bio info...

Also i call cook kirby and clean kirby :D

Anyways, I agree with gustavos, let's talk about the next collab, but we shouldnt start to make parts already...

At 6/26/10 10:14 PM, Gustavos wrote: It was this man.

Oh, that man.

Definitely a BA requirement. Perhaps of 2.5.

I'd vote for 3.0, being at least one submission a solo, or being the co-author programmer or voice actor, of course with exceptions, but the exceptions shouldnt be based on the actual parts, otherwise we will have to reject ppls hard work, the exceptions would be made through a dump, or through a submission if someone doesnt have a BA yet...

So that we don't have to end up removing any parts that are just so terrible we didn't put them in. And I'm liking your idea of a theme. No parts with interchangeable jokes that are only loosely based of Kirby.

Yeah, that should be cool, you know though, I'm kinda liking the many kirbies idea, I still vote for kirby 2, but I would still take parts in a many kirbies one, and then, if we still want to collaborate, we could do a kirby 2, inviting the talented ppl we had already befriended during the many kirbies one...

Am I the only invited animator that actually made something?

no... budge and ikool were invited too... (i think)

@budge: everyone gets a bio! even sprite animators, like josephAS1 ;)

At 6/26/10 02:36 PM, Gustavos wrote: I've learned from a man that when it comes to collabs, the more narrow the theme is, the more successful it can be.

I need to meet that guy XD

But the more broad the theme is, the more people will have interest in joining. Chances are, there will be a BA requirement in the next collab.

Of course! Many Kirbies or Kirby 2, the next collab must be more succesful...

And that's usually for collabs that are made by people who know what they are doing. I know that if I was a bigshot animator with no tolerance for under average animations, I'd want to be in a collab with rules and regulations and no "yeah, this is the theme, have fun".

I agree that a less broad theme will result in better parts, and heck, I would vote for a many kirby collab as long as it changes from revolving arround to what happens with a kirby that has an ability to what happens when kirby tries to get an ability, or accidentally gets an ability... XD

But frankly, I don't get along with those people. And even the actual Many Marios Collabs weren't perfect.

I was never too fond of these either (those people and the many marios collabs)

As for my vote, it's a hard decision. An accessible collab, or a slightly professional-looking collab. I can think of jokes for both collab themes.

How about, an accessible collab that is slightly professinal looking (aka BA requirements, and as a theme only parts that revolve arround: abilities, inhaling, game mechanics, character personalities (aka, don't have a part about kirby with hair and meta knight not, or that has a pikachu in the middle (i still like this part though :3)))

Goes by the name of shortfactor

Oh that guy, flashfire even invited him to this collab too as far as I remenber...

At 6/26/10 03:53 PM, Aguproductions wrote: I am.

in both those tests it sure didn't look like it XD

I suck at shading. I just can't shade.

the easiest way to learn that in this case would be to look at the official kirby artwork and learn ;)
or if you're lazy, at least dont shit on the drawings with way too much bevels and radials XD

I am using Ctrl + Z everytime! I'm also using the transform panels.

Use moar :3
See on test 2, why is there a line sticking out beside the feet, that just looks fugly, and why is the foot connected with the hat O.o
I hope that helped...

At 6/26/10 10:45 AM, Gustavos wrote: All members reading this should say if they want a Kirby Collab 2, or a "Many Kirbys Collab".

I vote for the kirby collab 2, mainly because kirby inhale jokes, the best of the kirby jokes IMO would be totally scratched to make fun at kirby abilities, plus I seriously cant think of a skit for a "Many Kirbys Collab" yet I have a third idea, and just made a fourth for what could be the "kirby collab 2" (one is a kirby inhale gag, the other pokes fun at the helpers in KSSU)... I think a many kirbys collab wouldnt be bad, but IMO a kirby collab just opens the possibilities, plus, it would look like we stole the idea from the many marios collab...
Also, who's the guy u guys discussed about having him join the next collab? XD

that pic is awesome, are you making it like scroll or something? :3
also, whose kirby is the one in the front/beside mine?

Yup. Almost done.

HELLS YAH!

@AGU:
My drawings used to suck like yours, heck they were even worse, but I improved with a few easy steps:
-Use a thinner brush, and raise the smoothing D:<
-Make stuff in different layers (hehe, even nowadays I still fail at this sometimes, I keep forgetting)
-Don't overuse bevels and radials, use solid colors, and then, SHADE!
-Drawing a circle? Make a Circle with the circle tool, and then, to make it fit the whole drawing, onion skins will save the day :D
And most importantly:
-Take yo time! Ctrl + Z was created for a reason ;)

Glad to see everything is allright now, hopefully this will be in the portal in the next few weeks :D

PRESTO!
The first one has a bigger head, I made the second one first, but realized the feet were too big, anyways, should I send you that?

So I was making a robot kirby, but it was looking like shit, so I re-started, anyways, can it be rich kirby? (for the bios menu) I'll make it fit more to everyone elses too, or should it be just, "kirby"?

Thats a great idea for the bios!
We should definetly do that, also, my kirby should be either in black n' white, or a better one... cuz if it's not gonna be straight from the part, might as well make a smexy one ;)
