Full title: Love, Bullets, and Nicotine
Update: I've gotten some good and bad criticisms--thank you, all! I'll try to make the second one even better. I saw some valid complaints, and some I think missed the point--this *is* in the still-noir style. If that doesn't float your boat, cool. But just to clarify; that's why there wasn't *specific* animation. Think Zork :) Newgrounds amuses me and satisfies me at the same time--oh well!
'maybe if it was a book...' oh, my.
What started as a doodle of a devious looking man and a song, snowballed into this noir project of mine. I'm quite proud of it--and would like to do more in the future.
I'm completely open to criticism, changes, compliments, concerns, etc. about the movie. I'll gladly make updated versions.
Only disclaimer I might say is in some situations you have to read fast.
Otherwise, there are a few known "issues:" one is there are various instances of the browning not being greyscale, and the other is the taxi--there are people standing in font of it, so it's even less believable that it's "moving." I'll fix all of these and any other discrepancies in future versions.
It doesn't lag for me, but it might no some computers. Try to see it on a non-laggy computer! Some of the timing is key.
Enjoy!
