Looking for an animator...

[bnwproductions]

Hello everyone. Me and my friend are working on a project. We're doing the coding, but we both can't draw for shit. I've found some sheets for like madness, and ripped some tankmen out of Tankmen 2, but the others are somewhat hand-drawn. So, we're looking for someone to help us out.

Neither you or your friend seem to have any good submissions, could you give an example of what you've done so far. If not then you should probably wait, alot more people will consider helping if you've got more to show.

Well, iamgrimreaper made a home-made NG chat. We've also got experience in PHP, I helped him make this, this, and this. Also, we have a ton of experience in ActionScript.

A badly made flash chat which doesn't seem to update properly made with PHP but doesn't even seem like it uses sockets.

A "weed smoking" 'application' in which you insert a string and it gets added to a database and loaded on the page.

A "beer drinking" 'application' made with php even though it looks like it could simply be put together with some HTML due to it's linear nature.

And lastly eating pizza, which has already been eaten, another example of strings being added to a database.

None of these examples really scream any sort of quality to potential artists and only the chat which doesn't function correctly shows any sort of indication that you may be able to use flash. Show us some good examples of your actionscript coding before any artist make the dedication to help you with your game.

Those really don't show your actionscript skills. You should have also included more information about your game in this thread. You don't have the game planned out very well yet and don't have an engine made yet so once you have made at least some sort of engine and have worked out how the game will work a bit more then come back and ask for animators then.

Look, you guys just gotta trust me, or us, on this. Seriously, we can get this done...

Seriously, you've got to do more than that. Trust me. Even if you can code well enough to make this work, nobody is going to take a topic like this seriously enough. If you're not going to put in the work to pitch the idea on the forums and show better work, how can you expect us to 'trust' you?

[Fion]

Well the reality of it is if every person who came into this forum posting about what flashes they had planned had actually followed through, there would be a lot more flash games and their quality and diversity would be a lot greater than it is now.

Nobody should have to trust you on a whim, you should show some form of substantial work to gain the trust of possibly partners for developing your game. You need to show them you can make something, anything and then someone might take you seriously.

[bnwproductions]

You know what. Fine. I'll make a little engine right now.

[bnwproductions]

Okay... I realized I've been overworking myself lately... So, I made this. It's just a simple walking around thing. You can run/walk... I was gonna make the battle system... but, like I said, I've been overworking myself, with stuff like this... I feel kinda like I'd pass out or something.... Anyway, here's the engine. I'll finish the battle system next time.

[bnwproductions]

Shit. I forgot something. Here's the engine.

[bnwproductions]

Anyone?

[grafik2d]

I can't figure out what your engine is suppose to do, the guy walks a bit and then stop. Include a list of controls. Plus, a little bit more information about what you want to acheive would not hurt.

The description on mine and iamgrimreaper's news post (which I linked to btw), shows what we want to achieve. Oh and the engine, you have to click anywhere to make your character move.

[bnwproductions]

Anyone? :'(

[turtleco]

if the guy touches the gray dot, he stops moving and no matter where I put the gray dot he doesn't move.

There is ALWAYS an excuse isnt there ?

[hdxmike]

Generally you wouldnt have more than one programmer so he/she knows where the code is but more than one artist is ok . so tell me who out of you two is going to do it or are one of you doing the backed and one the front ?

Also i beg you not to go through with this, newgrounds characters were never ment to be played like adventure quest.
