Hey all...
Name: Rick (Shmossy)
I'm an animator
seeking an ASer
I would say my skill level is about 4 - 6 if I work really hard.
I've not posted the best I can do on NG, I've never really tried as hard as I possibly could, but when I'm doing work with other people I get a miraculous performance boost.
I whipped up this little loop (tweened) just to show an example of the art I can do. This is just a test, so don't expect anything amazing.
I want to get together with an ASer to make a sidescrolling game, 'cause I suck at AS, but I can animate FbF pretty well if I try.
I think I'll be needing an ASer of 6 - 8 for the game.
To tell the truth, I dislike making movies. It's tedious work, and it seems to drag on forever.
On the other hand, I love making the running/fighting/jumping loops found in sidescrolling games, I don't know why, maybe it's something to do with the way they're inside movieclips and you can re-use them, and it sort of breaks up the monotony because you're making lots of individual movieclips and putting them together instead of one big project, frame after frame, layer after layer.
I don't plan on earning any money from this, it's merely for people to enjoy and for me to get a good score with.
No deadline either, just don't take a really long time to do it.
I don't know how it works - I'll just assume that I make the animations of the character jumping/running/swimming/attacking/walki ng and all the backgrounds, enemies, etc and we can talk about the engine or what you want me to do with the animations.
I've never made a game before, so this is going to be tricky setting it up together, but I'm willing to try my best if you are.
I want this sidescroller to be a decent one, with a bird or two flying over the forest now and then, trees stiring in the breeze, frills and little extra bits. Not a hugely complicated engine, just extra animations and stuff. Making a flash sidescroller has been one of my goals, and now I realise that the only way I can is to get together with a good ASer or learn AS myself. I am choosing the first option, as I believe that learning AS isn't my thing.
Damn, that was a long post.
PM me if you want to chat, or see more examples of what I can do.
P.S - Do NOT look at my submissions as examples of my work, they suck, so PM me like I said if you want to se a decent example.
