But who likes my meeeenuuuuuuuu!!!!
i dont mean to sound rude or ofensive dude.. but it lacks something.

- it needs background
- textured buttons (not plain white)
- since its the menu, a little background song would be nice
- i dont think we should use the same banner serobeam has on the menu, its gotta be more creative.

If you need help drawing or desinging I CAN HELP.

I agree with you, man.
It's a menu, but there's way too much negative space.
Its really bland.
Hope you know what we mean, good luck with it :]

And i'm working on my submission, the
Level 35 swords i made came out surprisingly nice, so,
i have a lot of faith my part will turn out nice :D
Hope everyone else's part is turning out pretty swell,
now off to work;

for the menu (it is important becuase it gets to the animations) i have some ideas/comments

-on the bio page have links to the profile and scenes in the collab done by author
-the banner falling does not look that good quality for some reason?
-when adding music make it suitable for everyone or choose somthing relationg to NG
- it could be good keeping the same colour scheme as the NG website(grey BG and yellow buttons) it will eb more comfortable for people
-have the scene selct page levels on one page(a scroll box will be good, ask me if you want one)

it is early stages but hopfully this will be good, its good you are keeping in contact, who will compile everything (zerobeam?) together, that will come later anyway so it doesnt matter, thanks

That is a fantastic combat animation! :O

Which could be replaced by bios or we'd have both

Nah, it's just faking most other collabs anyway...

I had a better idea for the scene select too, but it involves making a dynamic image-gallery with all level icons.
Either just make a bar on the left, with all icons, which you can scroll through. Here's an example:
http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tutoria l/Creating-a-Custom-Scroller-in-Flash/27 745

Or make an actual gallery, like this:
http://www.flash-game-design.com/flash-t utorials/gallery-large-flash-tutorial.ht ml

Replace the images with the LVL icons (in pairs of course! ;).
Then, instead of showing the image larger, just show it including some info about the author.
Just a name and a link to his page is enough.
If we're going to do bios, it'll be the last thing to do ;)

I sped it up a bit, but I think it takes to long b4 it falls over, you?

Sorry, mate, but this isn't good...
The banner is okay for the forums, but the quality is horrible!
I hope I'm not the only one noticing that the quality is bad, aswell as the button.

If this is what you can do, then I'll have to give the menu-part to someone else.
I really don't want to sound rude, but this is a quality collab, and that is not quality.

See if you can convince me or explain, but this is just no material for the collab!

It's still in an early stage, and I haven't even made the best part yet.

It's okay. :)
I understand it's still in it's early stage, but the text really has to go.
I can hardly pay attention to the HP, text and icons! :O

Just to be safe, I'll reserve your part.
But I'd recommend to work on it, it's not good yet! ;)

---------------------
General post!
---------------------

First of all, thanks to all who cleared my doubts about them!
Some of you are really awesome artists, with very great talent! :D

However, I'll have to make some important changes.

From now on, I'll be keeping a .txt file which includes:
-Authors
-Preview (yes/no)
-Good/bad
-Co-authoring
-Enough activity/help?

Every single person will have such file, and you can't ask about it. This is for personal tracking, and to see who posted frequently and who didn't.

Everybody is recommended to post on the forums within the next 5 days, with a post including what he has done, and optionally a preview.
If this is not done, you will -sadly- be removed.

People with low quality parts, or still early decent previews will get a reserved place. This means if an animator with better qualities comes along, and is interested in your part, he can have it.
Of course, you still have time, so please post about your activity/preview/work!

Also be adviced that you need to try and be active on the forum. It's not a must, but it's just showing you like the collab and the people participating! ;)

So for all animators which would still like to join, but a place is taking, PM me and I'll see what I can do! ;)

Response to The Ng Level Collab 2008-07-06 18:24:47


I will post the beginning of my animation tonight.

Do you think I can make 2 little ( like 20seconds ) part for my 2 levels. I dont want to make another ''fight'' animation. And what I have so far is pretty original. Ill show you later tonight anyway.

Also, I think some animation i've seen yet aren't that great. It shouldnt be icons fight or a sword flying and attacking.

Just my 2 cents!

Wow thanx, glad you liked it. I just wish my style was a little cleaner. Oh well, that'll prolly come with practice.

Yeah, so anyway, I'll try and get a good bit of FbF in, make it real nice.

Technically, we only have 30 parts. However, if you keep the filesize down and be very nice, I might allow it... ;D
Please show me, I love original idea's! :)

Also, I think some animation i've seen yet aren't that great. It shouldnt be icons fight or a sword flying and attacking.

I've mentioned this issue already, and have also discussed this with my friend Bertn, which leaded the Pirate Collab.
He told me it was best to remove bad quality parts as some good animators would want to join, but they can't because some crappy one took their place on a nice spot.
I will make a small archive of all people tomorrow (it's 2:20 am, ffs :P).
I'll solve things tomorrow ;)

That's great!
I have checked your site, though there were only about 4 animations. :(
Imo, you don't seem to have many expierience, but you do have nice drawing skills.
Let's just say: post a preview of your most recent work, and I'll judge it ;)
You'll probably get in, don't worry, just post a linky ;D

Oh well, that's fine then.
Just don't include the banner, please ;)
I'm waiting for a better preview, but I'm sure it'll be good :)

Anyway, as I said, I'll solve things tomorrow.
I'll make a list and post it here.
So, till tomorrow!

Hey yo

Response to The Ng Level Collab 2008-07-06 20:35:51


Well if your menu doesn't turn out too nice, supery9,
i can always make one.
Here's the preloader i made for the 100 Frame Skate Collab [not submitted yet]
if you need an example of what i've made.
My menu's turn out good, too. lol.
I'd probably fit in bios, as well...
but again, this is only if supery9's doesn't
turn out as well as expected.

Seriously, no offense supery9, but,
the one you've shown so far isn't too awesome.
So can i be second in line?
thanks guys,

I think the whole light beam theme in the background like the logo for newgrounds and NG style buttons is a good idea
and I might make it so when you click a button, it shoots two ninja stars out and they hit the button, and then a black fade to the next part...
I might have the guy who is doing the two ninja stars fight for this collab help with that

Yeah that'd be a good idea,
because that idea sounds pretty animation intensive, and,
it'd look really bad if the stars came out weird.

Not true, i did add a little bit of shading to the swords, but,
i see what you mean./
i'll make the shading more noticeable, and,
...i'll see what i can do about the sparkle.
[i totally avoided it when i drew it, i figured it'd be difficult to draw]

who are you to tell me how to draw them,
you have no submissions,
and the menu you've shown so far
is (no offense) total crap.

i think they look fine, bro.
i'm sorry, but,
the swords are white in the NG Level picture (level 35).
with a teeny tiny bit of shading, like i've put.

And i tried putting in a sparkle, but,
it's really hard to notice with a white background.
And i probably wont add a regular background, i'm too lazy
and i'm too afraid i'd screw up on it.

*sigh* it's fine, bro.
Now please, go work on your menu...

I'm sorry, mate, but I've gotta see your finished part first!
You're only getting the spot if your part is really good, and we don't have any more people ;)

------------------------
Supery9, I am serious now.
You have had quite some time for the menu, and you have only worked 10 min. on it.
I am not the only one that agreed with this, something has to happen.
I am sure we all know how a menu works, all we're interested in is the design!

I'll give you 1 more day, but If you don't have something decently by then, I'll have to give the menu-slot to someone else. There are already some other people which would like to do it....
funkycaveman,K-Guare, you can both do something, if Supery doesn't.

I really hope it won't come that far, but I am serious.
You're taking full responsibility.
It's not my fault you can't seem to take the pressure...

another idea to create a bolder appeal for this collab, if so much time is being spent on this then it should be worth it, so i was thinking of some marketing, a promotional trailer teaseing the levels and some previews of animations, it should help raise interest.

maybe a new slot could be created?

any ideas...
