They are "un-serious" pretty much all the time, but I do remember that one guy posting his ideas on the first pages of this thread.

His ideas were great in my opinion too!
(too lazy to find that exact page, heh, it's somewhere 4-7 I think)

Get a trial version of Flash program from Adobe.com for example.

Can't people get that Flash movies are probably made by a program called Flash?

You still have time till 20th of May, don't you?

I would want to see that whole animation for that, it looked awesome so far.

Only if you look only at the quality of voice acting, comparing his animation work to something like Adam Phillips work isn't possible.
Ego's fastly drawn style gives some toonish touch though.

Did he forget his guns somewhere and enemies are all around him or...?

Weird how Boxhead: Zombie Wars got only the third place, but anyway.

If you really have to ask, then chances are your flash won't make it.

Escuse me but that didn't make much sense...

Ok if that didn't make any sense then you REALLY won't make it.

I think it's accepted, only thing is that you have to tell the ID number of the song if the song you used is from Audio portal.
So they can put a "music info" thing like how they did on Blamformers.

Any Metal Gear goes, even Metal Gear Solid 4 if you have a decent idea.

I think they will send the prizes no matter where you live, it just means more shipping payment for them, though.

Not that it matters, but these sprites aren't from the NES.. Snake can even crawl in this game, not to mention, hide in a metal bucket...

Hmm... "Snake's revenge" maybe?

That's some pretty sweet work in there so far, in the preview image you sent earlier it did look like it's something Egoraptorish, but in the actual animation it didn't look anything like that.

You have no idea how glad I am to hear that. I was shitting bricks, cause I didn't want people thinking my debut flash was just a knockoff.

Haha, I see that. I know the feeling when people might get the wrong point of view myself.

That's not probably going to help, because if you fail three times, it doesn't matter if you send more of those parts.
Read the "note" parts from the first post so you should know what I'm talking about.

I DO IT OLD SCHOOL

Everyone <3s Flash 5 and that would be something REALLY odd that it wouldn't wotk with the one they use at NG office.
They would have to use... What? Flash 4 or older that it would go a way like that?

But... I still <3 my Flash 5 even though it doesn't have all the cool things.

Even Castle Crashers is good enough reason for me to buy XboX 360, but can't really do that, because I'm seriously out of money.

Also gotta see what are going to be the March's top submissions.

He said he used SSBB Snake so it's probably traced, if he didn't use the SSBB snake as a reference.
I did my snake by looking at SSBB Snake's look several times and drew him in my style afterwards.

His design for Snake looks like the best from what I have seen so far, though.

That new header looks "marvelous".

Heh.

So Johny, couple of questions here to make sure I have gotten them right:

Q1. So what do you mean by "single frame movie clip"?
Is it just that I make my collab part in to a movie clip and make the frame (that has the movie clip in it in the main timeline) 24* seconds long?
OR
Will I put the collab part in to a movie clip and make it have "_root.play();" in the last frame of the MC?

Q2. We are allowed to use Action Script as long it's the version 2.0 we are using, right?
I'm using vCam in my part so I would like to know that.

*= 24 secs is the length of my part

Sorry for bothering, I just want to make sure I will do it correctly.

Maybe you should, it looked awesome, but after the codec thing it looked like it was rushed.
No offence :/

And seems I managed to do the most of my collab part today, I need to animate about 10 secs more with snake and it would be done.

This is the first "scenery", "scene" or "screen"... Or whatever:

Of course there will be some parts that don't have nothing more than music in the audio side, I bet.

Well, maybe you should work more on the animation there,
the part where Snake got shot looked pretty cool though.

So yeah, no offence, but you could put more effort to it,
the deadline is still almost two months away anyway.

At 3/30/08 01:17 PM, Splurda wrote: i got another screenie aswell :3

don't worry the codac isnt where it mainly takes place

But didn't Johny say this?

"[05] - Avoid 'codec conversation' submissions. If your first idea is based solely on this gimmick, pick another idea. These generally don't take much thought or effort...although, a few nicely done, really good ones might work for padding. Still, try to AVOID it."

But if your part isn't codec-only (or mostly-codec-only) it might be fine, but can't really say.

Looks good in my opinion so far, the plain graphics look good as long you animate 'em well, so you shouldn't worry about that.
