Alright, buys some cred in my books as well. I wouldn't withdraw my general opinions about open source Flash engines, but the project doesn't so much seem like a money-grab. Anyhow, glad we all had a chance to knock heads about something Flash related in the Flash Lounge for once :P Take it away, Luis! <3

I love piderman.

Agreed. Was expecting a dumb parody, but it was hilarious and really well-animated if you look beyond the sketchy style. Couldn't help but check out his youtube stuff.

Well the whole idea is pretty interesting at first. But I hope there is at least a little more than just that. Otherwise, it could get old real fast.

Yea you will be able to buy upgrades and stuff and the game will get harder as time goes on.

Make an outline of your current shape in the background, cause it's annoying looking at the left side of the screen when you don't know which number is which, then looking bak at the right and aiming.

so after over a year's hiatus from flash, i decided to pick up again and try to make a game using whatever art skills I've acquired in that time. last night i stayed up until the sun started to rise working on this. it felt good to be "in the zone", working on something again.
unfortunately, while my art skills improved, my coding skills generally stayed the same. haha. Hopefully that doesn't ruin the game :\

Attached is a screen shot, just to tease you. It looks pretty sexy in motion, if I do say so myself, because every single element moves at a different rate depending on its position from the "camera". (far elements move slow). I also taught myself how to do particle effects to get the smoke looking nice (i was so proud of myself haha). I can't say for sure when this will be finished, but at the rate I've been working on it, it shouldn't be TOO long.

Hey man welcome back, I haven't seen you in ages! It's great to see you're coming back to flash, I myself haven't really worked on anything since our last game. That screenshot looks sweet by the way, I hope it's as good in motion as it is in the screenshot. Post some more links of it :)

Looks great. You've been away far too long

I had to mention this cause im so angry. I rarely have cereal but when i do i expect there to be milk!

I went through the trouble of cutting myself little banana slices and all and i go into the fridge and theres no milk. i swear im gonna kill someone.

anyway i did what any sensible person would do and im using iced tea as a substitute.

its not bad, but does someone want to go pick up some milk for me? I'll sponsor you.

Of course, anything for you Luis. By the time it gets there it may be a bit stale, but I'm still expecting my sponsorship

I'll die before I ever put water on cereal again. Milk-less cereal is not worth it. NOT WORTH IT

Move along, enough about my phony country of originssss.

i feel like ive stolen mynamewontfitin's thunder and his post was actually flash related :X

I just slapped my wrist.

Can't wait dude, it's been too long since I've seen your art in motion. Use any of your knowledge from After Effects? Looks like it influenced you a little...or maybe it didn't?

That looks truly amazing. I didn't realize you were such a good artist!

I'll take that as a very harsh offense towards me. </3

kidding obviously.

Wow, mynamewontfitin, nice to you see again :D Well, and great screenshot you have there too... i hope to see this soon enough ^^ good luck on it, looks pretty damn great!

Spanish != Mexicans
Seriously get it right people. I lived in Spain for 6 years, and now that I'm living in the US (Texas to be more exact) I can tell you that the only relation Spanish people and Mexican people have is the language. And even that is VERY far off. I cannot understand he spanish mexicans speak, but I can understand and speak the "real" Spanish :P

lol, that's pretty funny, years ago I wanted to make a game like that, but with multicolored objects, glad to see somebody actually doing something like it :P..

Poland is empty cuz theyre all here in england :D

I was quickly scrolling through here, and I must say, that looks awesome.

That's awesome, looks like a War of the Worlds/Animatrix mix.

Hah, on a serious note -- that looks fucking awesome.

Wow I just had a quick glance down the page and there is like 5 or 6 people posting on here from the old days. So this is where they've been hiding :)

No. You're annoying, you just keep popping up. Bit of a limpit :P

By rusty I thought it was describing your hair.
What do you mean I keep popping up?

I need more work to do this summer. An episode and a few shorts aren't enouph. Which one of you silly people were programmers again? I feel like makin' a game - a violent game. >:3

PM if interested.

University
Had a meeting, found out well over half the courses I want aren't taught around my parts, stuck to taking lil' low level introductory courses to this and that until I have enouph credits for a higher level course, and my dreams of being a filmmaker/director are crushed. I'll be taking philosophy, maybe music (if room), and maybe political science... hopefully.

PS3 and Warhawk
I finally played Warhawk on my PS3 for the first time after Darryl bought it the month it came out. It's fun, but I get bored easily I guess. :P I'm lovin' the trophy thing and the new line up for summer games. I'm trying to get my hands on Overlord: Raising Hell - such a great concept for a game. ^^

Their's a book I wanna buy, along with a certaint stuffed pink animal, and an air freshener. Summer heat is more like summer stink right now. :S
