Earthbound or something. My first flash animation, made for a comtech project. Comments and constructive critisism are welcome

I thought this was an NES or SNES style game that is familiar to the fandom, but I was a bit off. The fact that the kid was spaced out and tripping was bad enough, but to see it as a game and it suddenly makes sense - games come off like this. You've done a great job capturing this.

I assume the drawing style is bad deliberately - most of the sound effects and choreography are otherwise better than what I was expecting.

fluckernutz responds:

Thanks, yup the drawing style was intentional though admitiabley a little rushed at points. Thanks for watching.

Yes that was pretty funny nice work. That game was a great Nintendo RPG, but I remember certain parts of the game had very psychedelic FX and it was pretty trippy. Mostly during parts of the story that involved adventuring across Dimensions of time and space. I was high every time I played it as well. Anyway Nice work!

fluckernutz responds:

Thanks! Yup, Earthbounds pretty wild, gotta love it. Glad you enjoyed

Having played Earthbound before, I found this to be entirely hilarious. Really makes me think this is most likely what Ness himself saw as happening for a majority of the game given all the weird stuff he saw and dealt with in the game.

The animation was pretty good. The backgrounds seemed like they were tiled rather than really fitting in with the animation itself. Then showing the guy playing the game was sad since the graphics seemed to be of a slightly different quality than the rest of the animation. Had to compromise a bit to get this done on time?

The audio is entirely Earthbound except for the Hippie's voice. Would have been made humorous if he was holding a ruler while giving Ness the bag of drugs.

The story itself seems simple, forward, and humorous. Ness gets drugs without asking about the effects from the New Age Retro Hippie and suddenly goes on a weird mental adventure where he transforms leaving the player very much confused.

Overall, short and humorous. Could have done a bit more though.

fluckernutz responds:

Thanks for watching and commenting, glad you enjoyed. Aside from a bit of rushing to get it done I'm also sort of trying to find my style, hense why the animation seems to differ from scene to scene. Future projects will have no time contraints so expect a higher and more consistent quality to come.

Not too bad man that was actually pretty good.

fluckernutz responds:

Thanks man I appreciate it

A slightly more creative preloader would be appreciated, the animations pretty neat and well nothing bad about it, keep it up, cheers!

fluckernutz responds:

Yeah the preloader was kind of an after thought but it'll be better in future stuff for sure. Thanks for commenting, have a good one!
