What?! Not Lambinvoker... ;_;

He had me in expectation with that awesome scenery he was drawing. Just what exactly happened? Too busy and not enough time? I thought he wouldn't be too far from finishing, or at least was the last person I expected to drop out.

Oh well, life must go on. Now we just need to finish those remaining parts >=(

Seriously, this kind of collab can't have deadlines. For collabs such as Pixelmas, deadlines are appropriate due majorly to having independent parts, of which you could easily leave some out if people don't make it in time. There's also the need to release it for an specific date. But in this kind of collab, where all parts are needed, it's best to wait for everyone to finish their parts, as long as we make sure they are working on them.

This is, of course, advice for future projects. It shouldn't take too long to make a pixel clip of less than 20 seconds, but I guess that's something we don't have control of. I thought I was going to be one of the lasts to finish parts, due to exams and stuff (btw I got A+, yay), but I managed to make it in time.

I repeat, that other guy that dropped out didn't surprise me much because I had not seen any progress from him, but I was expecting Lambinvoker to finish his epic metropolis =(

That means Pixelween Shorts!

I freakin pissed off that people can't make a 2 month deadline.

And by the way, ChaoticTrashCan is already blacklisted for pulling off quitting at the deadline.

Seconded. I mean, come on guys, you have a lot of time. I understand for somebody like Fawx, but I want to see the people who joined during the start of the collab. But anyway guys, do you all really want to be black balled? I thought not.

Projects don't get finished without deadlines.
people are lazy if they don't.

It's better to take a small blow and have it covered than have the entire project fall apart.

I've seen too many collabs go south because there was no deadlines.

Although I like Lambinvoker and he had stuff to do, it isn't fair not to treat him differently than ChaoticTrashCan.

He should have not joined, or at least left earlier if he couldn't make a dead line.

So, lambinvoker, like ChaoticTrashCan, is banned on a temporary basis from future projects.

Don't worry guys.
If I can get a project done trapped in a foot of snow with days left, im pretty sure we can quickly patch up a few parts with over a week till the submit day.

I like the credits!
Everyone else has finished their parts, so worries abotu drop outs any more.
Also, thanks for working with the inconvenience.
Sorry about that.

Ahh. Glad you liked it. And It's good to see this kind of progress.
Also, to all those who complained about Deadlines, tom fulp stated in his latest newpost that the collab would be released the 6th

And if the admin says so, I guess that means it should be so. Emphasis on meeting this deadline that more than half of Newgrounds possibly saw. Also, more people are going to be online than usual, because Tank Award winners are announced the 6th as well.

Glad you got my marketing strategy. ;)

Also, Jimtopia is almost done with his part, so we just have Fawx's part and Nicholas's menu and we are done!

Are you going to be experiencing snowstorms?

Lol. No.

But we randomly got like an inch a snow like a week ago, but it's in the 60's right now. ;)

I forgot to comment on that. I must say you've done a pretty good job on the credits, I really like it. It's the kind of credits that I could actually watch a few times without getting bored, so congratulations :)

On another topic, is ParagonX9 aware of this collab at all? Now with the audio change in the credits, the whole collab is done with his music, lol. If not, I suggest you hand him a link once the collab is submitted, Mexy ;)

Of course, I didn't mean that there shouldn't be a deadline at all. My point was that there should be time flexibility for those who are having inconveniences, but working on their parts nonetheless. This can't happen when there exists a solid deadline, so an expected date of submitting is preferred.

That is if we lived in a perfect world, so I understand what's your point.

I guess that's your decision.

i'l help i got the audio for the second part and i'm off to work

All Parts are full. :/

It always cracks me up when someone pops up at the culminating period of a collab asking to join :P

actually, we didn't set any real deadlines on cardboard city and it went alright. I don't think its something that can be made to fit a rule, all collabs go differently and its probably best to just take them case by case.

Unless, of course, a site administration mentions when the collab is going to be released in his newspost.

I take it you probably didn't click on the Part List link in Mexifry's signature.

I've got a natural talent for that. Maybe I'll release the original credits roll that I used before I dropped it and went with this current one. Maybe. the screenshot was most epic.

He's probably not aware of anything that had just happened in these forums, but to have a whole collaboration starring obscure amateur flash artists who made some goodass parts must be pretty heartwarming. Yet when you look at his audio, you'll notice that like every track is used in at least 20 movies. Some tracks like the chaoz series are used in hundreds of movies, most of which are terrible. Since this is a good song that goes with most animation instead of standing alone paired up with in the most part good animation, he'd probably enjoy it. Also, this collab, like the pixelmas shorts, is guaranteed to hit the front page. If Mexifry doesn't tell her, chances are that ParagonX9 Will see it from the front page. Unless she already saw Tom's news post.

Aha. Speaking of which, I went snowboarding today. There's absolutely no snow where I live so I went to whitetail. They had to make their own snow. The sun came out and the entire resort turned to ice. It was still pretty fun though.

Ironosaur & YoungAndWise both of you were assuming ParagonX was a guy, but actually ParagonX is a girl. Thought I should correct you guys :D

I can send you the menu FLA. today but I still need to know which special effects you want on it to make it more exciting. Also, I've added some stuff to the bios, but when I send you it over, it probably wont have all the comments in there.

Oh really? I had corrected that in my previous post, see:

It was a misdemeanor.
I always knew PGX9 was a woman, taken from the fact that I checked out her profile to see more tracks after I saw metropolis. She's made a lot of good stuff, some of which I've seen outside the site. It was just a typographical error, produced by not proofreading and the velocity of my typing. Which is quite fast. Seriously. You should see me type, especially with only two fingers. I don't touch type at all.

Everyone Bitch at Jimtopia and Fawx to send their parts in cause they are due today.

O rly? I mean, the thing is, they just joined. Try saving the deadline for morning tomorrow so they have a little bit more time to finish up their parts.

Hey Mexi, do you still want me to put the parts together?

Cuz if so your going to need to send me all the parts over again because I reformatted my computer.

If you don't need me to, I understand.

Hurray! Actual progress!

Awaiting Fawx's Part to be finished...

So do you want the menu in now? Baring in mind that most of the comments aren't done in the bios (need to get people to send me comments) and I haven't added the special effects in the main menu yet because I need to know what you want me to add.

Really All I want to the menu is music and the bioses done.
Keep it until you get it done.
PM everyone that hasn't turned in a bios to tell you what they want as their bio.

Also, if anyone has seen Fawx, tell him to get here and sned me his part. >:(

Well first, add a colorful like background and have it animated with the Newgrounds flash lines in their preloader which should be edited with another different color. Also put random animated objects such like birds, planes, cars, etc.

Second, add gradient and sound effects into the buttons when someone hightlights it when there mouse is over it (in other words, add another gradient, or something). I don't really care what sound effects you can use, I just want to at least have at least have some sorta of sound, go wild with the sound dials. One last thing is add a catchy techo beat. Let's use another song by the same arthor (ParaxonX9, I thinks that how you pronounes).

Last, add a button over our profile to link us to our profile pages, like the same as the Pixomess shorts collab.

That enough all I can touch on.

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, been sick, and still am.

Peace.

Wow I'm slow.

Sorry for double post.
