Pico Day 2010 Preloader

[TomFulp]

Available for download: Pico Day 2010 Loading Screen!

ALSO AVAILABLE: Pico Day Flash 6 Preloader

If you are submitting a Pico Day submission THIS FRIDAY, APRIL 30th (no sooner), please use this loading screen as part of the celebration.

Note that if you are designing at 550x400, this screen is larger than your work space. Try aligning it from the bottom right so you at least get Nene, the tank and the links to previous years. Pico can stand on the sidelines this year.

If you are interested in running Flash Ads you can place the ad movieclip over the tank logo and remove the default border art that comes with the ad - just make sure you don't delete the clip the ad itself loads into.

BIG QUESTION: Is anyone doing anything that requires AS3? If so we could prep an AS3 version or you could edit it to make your own.

Also if you are using anything less than Flash 8, let me know and I can prep a Flash 6 version. (already done - see link above)

Our current plan for Friday is to watch Pico Day entries all day from the office, then webcast the annual Tank Award winners at 6pm EST! When that happens there will be a front page post with a link telling you where to go. We may do other webcasting throughout the day so stay tuned.

Also don't miss the PICO DAY ART CONTEST!!!!

In other news, Tim and I just got back from a week in San Diego where I had a BattleBlock Theater jam session with Behemoth-partner DanPaladin. I also got to hang out with Rog from I-Mockery, Maddox and Sean "Jinx" Gailey - hi guys!

I'll be catching up on stuff and trying to wrap up a new game with JohnnyUtah for the rest of the week, hopefully to come out shortly after Pico Day!

I think SOMEONE forgot to mention a certain Pico Day Art Contest that's going on over at the Art Forum.

[ReNaeNae]

Hopefully the winners of the Pico Day '10 Art Contest will be announced Friday as well.
There's still a few days left ...and not a whole lot of submissions, so your chances are good!!

Great preloader. Can't wait for Pico Day, and the game you are JohnnyUtah are up to.

[BlackmarketKraig]

Hooray for Pico Day!

I was asked to plug the PICO DAY ART CONTEST here, so that's what I'm doing. =P

All you have to do is draw a Newgrounds character in a different time period. You could win CA$H or NG Store credit. Don't miss out!

[Manly-Chicken]

WIN! You guys rock!

[RYNOL]

Speaking of BattleBlock Theater, when is Castle Crashers coming out for PS3?

I can't wait man. Instant buy for me. Unless I've used up all my PSN credit.

I recommend Finding games you like in the portal. Then ask the authors if you can get involved in a small project. Takes years of practice. So watch and learn, and eventually you'll pic stuff up.
