Close but..i'd say its better than dA. You'll be able to submit art, flash, and articles (for tutorials, news, w/e) and also, we'll print shirts and buttons and stickers of things that get enough votes and there will also be an actual printed Camp North magazine that'll have showcase art on the site. It'll be a culture magazine as well. So, hopefully it'll be pretty big. Don't just sum it up as another dA...

In that case, I can't wait to see it. I'd love to join up. dA is nice and all, but I've grown tired of it. Something refreshing sounds nice. WIll it be mostly illustration stuff, or are other types welcome?

I hope its not.... one of my annoyances with dA is that you can shit on someones face... upload it and youll still get positive feedback on it.... people have no balls there to tell you your shit sucks.

NG>dA forever.

Sounds good!

Yeah, I used to go there to check how my mate's artsy stuff was doing. There's seriously not one negative review on the entire site (at least there wasn't when I used to go), and some of the stuff there is balls.

Being lovely and friendly is great, but sometimes you need brutal feedback so you can improve :P

That said, it's great that artists over there aren't pressured into appealing to an impossible audience of idiots.

The hardest part of animating
I think it's character animation, I'll never be able to get that part right.

The hardest part of animating

I find walking cycles the hardest part. Everytime I make one, it starts out as a disaster and I restart 2 to 3 times to get it right.

Walking cycles always take me the longest in an animation =_= i hate them

Camp north is launchin on the 30th, anyone excited? Also, im look for a few beta testers so if ur interested PM me. That is all.

What compelled you to call it Camp North?

I always get lazy and end up doubling every other frame :s

Actually, at the moment I'm forcing myself to do one walk or attack cycle every day. If I let them all pile up then nothing'll get done, so spreading them out should make development a hell of a lot smoother.

My next little Project

I'm currently working on quite a large project with Evan, however as another smaller project that I hope to slot into my remaing spare time this summer is to re-create an old ZX Spectrum game called Frank N. Stein (I won't be suprised if none of you have even heard of it, nevermind played it!).

Why this game you ask? Well it just so happens that the creator of that game (Colin Stewart) is my father! He created the game when he was around 16-17 (1984), and since I'm at a similar age now I thought it would be fitting to re-create my Dad's classic with the latest technology (Namely, ActionScript 3) and then suprise him with it!

That's a wonderful idea! I'm sure your father will be thrilled with your remake!

What business is your father in now days?

He works as a Software Developer these days.

Dreams

Dreams really are weird. I just got Metal Gear Solid 4 and its the first time ive played a Metal Gear Game in god knows how long, and ive been having dreams about MG. Its creepy actually. This one was about me in Atlantic City, New jersey, and i just keep seeing FROGs and the BNB chicks flying in the sky while PMCs keep boardwalk watch. freaky.

BTW: HAPPY 1900 POOOSSTTTT

Game Ideas

I've been giving serious thought to making a game where you play as a sperm and your mission is to fertilize an egg.

Any thoughts? It feels like this might have been done before.

I think it has before, hasn't it? sounds like something that should of been at least. Its getting hard now to think up original games now and a days :P, seems like everything has been taken..

Yeah thats one of the things that irk me about dA. Everyone's so nice and proper AND they police your art waaay to much.

I agree, the only real thing I dislike about deviantart is the audience at times. I think people choose to not respond if they have something negative to say instead of just saying it because they worry about hurting feelings.

I'd say that they are more worried about getting banned. you get banned for EVERYTHING on there.

Been done at least three times : [
New ideas are tough. But sometimes you don't even really need an idea. Just take an existing construct and do it exceedingly well. Hell, NG doesn't even really have a tight racing game yet.

I was just thinking that a third-person racer with a flat, 3D bitmap ground would be pretty good if done right. What do other people think?

Yea as far as redoing concepts, take for example almost every game on the front page.

Done right, it could be great. I wanna make a racer eventually, just too much on my plate at the moment. Maybe the finished product of yours will be an inspiration to get mine rolling, heheh.

Ah feck, that's a pun, isn't it?

I only wanna make origanal games. Button Finder was an origianal concept so I've ended up making three versions 'cos I can't think of other ideas.

Nah, I'm too busy too right now too. I'd like to give it a go eventually, though. Hopefully once I've got all my other projects done.

yea, if I were to make a racing game, id end up being like glaiel-gamer's Krazy kar
