Re: Working with other people?

I'm arting a game with DarkMana and hes a very good partner. We pretty much just did our own things for a month, then we started putting the code to the art. Its fun really, we put together ideas into the project and as we progressed with it, it really started to shape up.

RE: Working with others

Luis is absolutely correct about not being able to work with actionscripters.

He knows what he did... actually... I should say he knows what he "didn't do.

Johnny

you should make a birthday flash. because this is a flash thread...so. you know. flash?

RE: Johnny

I'm well aware of the purpose of this thread and was simply asking for birthday wishes from my friends and community here in the flash forum, after commenting on something flash related.

So, if you're not going to send me money, hookers, or booze... simply don't comment, otherwise you're adding to the spam I've probably inadvertantly created. =)

I flashed some children today, does that count?

RE: Johnny

I'm having a hard time getting the whores into my PC through the disc drive. As soon as they're in i'm gonna e-mail them, keep checking your inbox johnny, just wait and see.

RE:JHONNY AND HIS BIRTHDAY

congratulations jhonny.. you have one year less left to live

Are we allowed to post our new submissions? I hope so. http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/355094

Fear of change...

I've been presented oppurtunity to attain Flash 8...here's the issue...

I fear upgrading from flash mx. I can manipulate all of those tools just as i please.

does flash 8 require you to relearn A LOT of what you patiently learned in MX?

Not at all, its almost completely the same, only has some miniscule features you wont even notice till you look for em. With that said, I also think its alot of money if you're gonna pay the full 800$, if the upgrade is less, than go for it.

Don't see why not. SFB Tom does it all the time.

RE Submissions

thing is, i dont mind people like SFB doing it, but i would not want this thread to turn into a big advertisement. Ofcourse that draws a line between people important enough to post up submisions and people who cant, so we have to one way or the other. I would chose none at all.

RE: Fear Of Change

Not at all, theres some major changes in there, but with most of the basics its all the same, maybe a few little tutorials to go through, but not like MX where you have to go through fifty.

Go for it.

Like, hi, I'm new here.

RE: Fear of change

Yup, go for it.

(And use your own AS style and not the one in the developer's guide! It's complex as hell!)

AS 3.0 Books

Believe it or not, but I was at a book store today and I saw a book for actionscript three point oh. I thought it was cool, and I wanted to buy it, but 40 some dollars was a little spendy for my anorexic wallet. After getting home afterwards, I searched up AS 3.0 on amazon book search and found a few more (as well as the aforementioned one, but for 20 dollars less).

Clicky

RE: Like, Im New

Ok then, well welcome to the place, hopefully you read the first page of things, so then you can know what to do, and what not to do, nothing too strict, just so you fit in more, and arent classified as a noob.

Likely wont happen but could. Theres a new rule actually, and you've caught on obviously, you must put a title on your posts, so people know what your replying to, and put a title for a new mini topic you start too, easier to reply that way.

Welcome to the place, pretty easy, we arent a posse who all talk about our new hair-do, and out new daddy, try to stay along the flash lines, or a bad name.

And good news for me now. Im no longer the newest here, I thought I was fitting in, but who knows what goes on behind the scenes of the flash regulars lounge, that would be evil. But I still love everyone, Especially Blaze and Luis.

Under Judgment Influx

Damn near 4/5 of the entire portal is under judgment. Some of this stuff is really sad but there are some decent attempts. I supposed this is the result of the holiday contest. Either way, a glance at the weekly best and you can see that there are some really good things finally being submitted to the portal after an uneventful period of time.

UnForged's Milestone Posts

I was gonna comment on this earlier actually. About posting in the artist showcase thread way back when, like page 1000 something. I first posted on page 71 of the artist showcase thread. It was around my 40th post ever. I'd post there much any more. But I may as I start having time to draw in flash again.

Skills vs. Education

I am majoring in Graphic Design at a university right now. I feel almost like its meaningless compared to if I transfered to a legitimate Art University/College. Graphic Design seems almost all encompassing at times, like it could include photography, animation, business card design, t-shirt design and printing...but do you think you could walk away with a degree in Graphic Design and get a job in any of those fields. And for that matter if you could would the degree matter or would it be more important to bring a strong portfolio to a job interview.

Its something I've been dwelling on for years and almost prevented me from declaring my major but I decided that rather than be like everyone else who comes to college just because its the natural progression after high school I would actually be old fashioned and study something I care about to better myself and learn something.

Something that really got me thinking was when I was on Rockstar's website (the developers of GTA ) they had job listing. Many said you should have, for example, three years experience in 3D design rather than only one or two saying you should have a BFA in Fine Arts (it actually probably said something more like Animation or Illustration, can't remember). Its kinda of interesting to think about being self taught and acquiring the knowledge that you apply versus going to school to learn the skills but maybe not having as much to show for yourself.

I hope this spurs some conversation, and is considering "on topic" for the Flash Regs.

RE: Unforged MileStones

Yer, its kinda cool I guess. Im going to be here for everything that happens, and for those of you who hate me, sadly, you will be seeing a whole lot more of me. And for those who like me, good news for you, but that lists at a minimal im guessing.

Well, shame, I wanted to get a portal award, but I was here to late to get Rookie of the year. Maybe I will get the annoying person award. My dreams. Well, I hope people like me, and this was a happy thing to type about. Me and Tom Fulp have been talking a bit, and we have made some small deals, nothing too sure yet.

Username Stuffs

Long time, no post, I'm grounded and just found a nifty proxy for my school, although there's this girl right next to me playing annoying pussy-songs...

ANYWAYS

I was just curious, what's everyone gonna do when the usernames are locked down? I'm trying to think of a better name, this one isn't too... original... lol

/off topic

UnForged's search for acceptance

You seem to have your head on straight and not a fucking loser. If you stop trying to be noticed and just do your thing, eventually you'll be one of the gang. I havent seen you do anything that would make anyone hate you, but it takes a while to be noticed on a forum. Just chill and dont worry your pretty little head about it any more, it's just not worth it.

lol, nothing. I'm happy with all my account's names.

I like your name, it's cool.

Re: Usernames

I'm actually considering changing. I still have the username John, but I have no clue how people feel about me being John instead. I had John as my SN for a while, but I fell back to jmtb02 after people didn't know who I was... it's been kind of my trademark name for so long, so I don't know if I can part with it. So I don't really know yet.

Names

Most people hate my name, and i have to say, i do to. But having it for going on 4 years now, has made me become a little attached to it. Its a part of my e-identity, and without it, im no one really. And if i were to change, it would probably be CornDawg, its my alias for everything other then newgrounds. What about that?

UserNames

that reminds me, I seriously need to get my account back before all that gets locked down.
is Tom's e-mail just tom@newgrounds.com, or is it something like tomNG@newgrounds.com?

HEY GUYS!

I'm back from my trip to save the dolphins in america!

Well no, that was a lie but I AM back from being a lazy ass and not bothering to come on!

Hai, to all the old people I know, and hai to all the new people i dont ^^ Anyway I missed posting here, so i decided to come back... for a while atleast and see what everyones up to.... (lol I actually slated this thread when it was made and said it would never work and look at it now =O)

- cheese
Yeah I signed my post, what'cha gona do about it! >.<

I'm working on restoring your account still. Don't worry. Email Tom in the mean time on getting your account back.

RE: Usernames

I hate mine too :P It's so unorigonal and emo. But whatever, I'm tied to it now. Even though few enough people recognise me for me to be able to change it fairly easilly.

If it's not too late, I'd be amused by the prospect.

It would add levity to a crappy day.

Thick monobrow. Large , persian nose. Fairly large curly hair.
