I linked my entry in the other thread before :/

Should I link it in this one, as this one now seems to be the official thread for this contest on the BBS?
I also PMd SweetSkater my .fla :)

I guess I didn't really spend as much time on it as I should have...but I'm a little busy.

A majority of you might be wondering how this baby will be compiled together and submitted to begin with. Well currently, I am compiling last weeks files of SweetSkater's past Weekly Challenge. Check out the provided link below to tell me what you think of it. I'm trying to get all the original parts and co-authors buddy requests so I can get this baby into the portal.

Honestly, I think I may add an additional section. A tutorial section which explains how we completed the challenge and how it can help others for further reference, rather than a simple slideshow of walking cycles, I'd like to make it more interesting.

View File Here.

It's still in it's beta stages, but this is just the set up for Week One which is already finished. I'd like to change it up a bit for a set up every week. Tell me what you guys think.

Thanks. Feedback will be very much appreciated.

Pretty cool, though I don't like that picture of Tom. It's not the best quality and it sorta ruins the crisp feel of the menu page. Unless you were going for that pixelated style :/

Here's the link to my entry for the week 2 jumping/climbing challenge. Chopper Jump

I actually was going for the pixel feel, I might as well take away Tom The Beard Fulp. Oh wells. I will though, I have to place something else. I may add some falling objects within the background but than again, that'll slow down the whole file. Gah.

Well, anyways, I really like your part, but do you think you may be able to send me the .fla file? Since I'm going to need to compile it together.

In the end, I'll co-author the top artists :)

Ah ok haha, sorry.
Try pixelating it a bit more so it looks obvious that it was meant to have that retro pixel feel :P Might make it look less like you've just slapped in a random pic of Tom. Maybe :S
But nah, that sounds cool, just try to keep it simple really. Nothing too fancy :)

Anyone can join :)

All you have to do is follow the guidelines, make an animation, link the movie in this thread and send the .fla to Rudy.

I like it. It works for the collab, just send me your .fla file.

People, I'm really in desperate need for more additions and animations. So please, tell your friends about it, send them to the thread, or just IM me or something.

I'd like to see alot of people involved in this one. ;)

Seems like a cool contest.
If i do join it wout be until the upcoming weeks, yet i like the money system. There more competition you have, there more you earn by beating them.

Only think I could thing of, is maybe only send it to the Portal every 3 weeks or so.
Honestly, having a compilation of such short animations every week might get a little annoying.
This way, you can make an opening menu featuring each week, and selecting that button will take you to that week of animations.
Just an idea, tell me what you think


GAH!

I'll look into that. And after submitting it after the first three weeks, The following week after the results come in for each week, each winner from the categories will be rewarded. I like that idea.

A little bit slowed down thanks to NGUP, but it's what I have kind of. It's at about 60 FPS which is I bet why it's like this. I was planning on making a game with these, but it doesn't seem it will happen. Without further adieu: Pico Schmico [out of the box thinking eh?]

Well, maybe you can send it in to me with a FPS of 24 and maybe add a nice little pico related background which would be great. So drop me a PM, and we'll most likely have a nice little piece going along.
