It is pretty usefull (and the art forum is useless). I hope theres a shitload of nice feature like it in the redesign. Speeking of which, I thought it was going to happen when I was on holiday, but it looks like it hasent, which is good and bad.

Why did you re-submit M.U.S.I.C, LesPaulPlayer?

Quality control

how slow does this loop go for you lot?

if i use this in my game it'll be on low quality anyway but still.. how slow/jumpy is it :O?

Quality control

Theres quite a difference when I toggle qualitys...

RE: Quality control

Seems fine to me. Changing quality did not seem to change the speed.

No change what so ever. :D

Planning

How much planning do you people put into your flash's. Do you storybord? Do you scetch out everything first? Do you write out a script and the like? Or do you just get one good idea and spontaniously just create ideas as you go.

Personaly i get one idea that i might like, usualy from music, and then see where i go. I have tried writing out what i want to do and creating storybords but it was so boaring i just gave up on the project.

Quality out of Control

http://denvish.net/ulf/030607/80860_tesites.p hp

How about now?

this is not intened for the final thing, i'm just testing out bg's for my game.. flash 6.. yey

Re: Planning
Usually I just get an idea that I like, think about how the whole cartoon will be like (assuming it's pretty short) and then just record the voices.

For "He Stole My Teddy", I sort of figured out how the whole cartoon would work, recorded the voices, and 2 months later decided to animate it.

RE: Planning

I used to just wing projects, but i have tryed to take a more proffesional approach with my projects now. Full storyboards and character designs, and i plan on designing my next game completely on paper before i even touch flash.

..::planning::..

Planning is good. When I was actively making Flash movies on my own I would usually listen to music until an idea started to form, I would work it out in my head for awhile and then just dig into it without much other planning, I may have made a few sketches in my sketch book but I mostly just charged ahead.

Nowadays I have ideas, and I have them storyboarded, but I just can't seem to stay focused on anything for more than ten minutes. And Strattera isn't helping much at all.

It was a great update, but a while ago Tom told me about one that I think will be even better, especially for people who do Flash. He said it, the secret new feature, would probably come after the redesign.

Best ng update

Temp sortage for wip flashes? like denvish?

or prehaps sometime even better :O

somehting nearly as good as the pm system ws the 10mb limi.. that was fun.. :)

Summer

Well, I have my position nailed down again at camp (my summer job) and I get to work for 2 months with all my friends and live like it's college (minus all the ramen and frozen waffles).

I'm not going to Comic-con, but I'm looking forward to going to Otakon and the NG NYC Meet-up, which will hopefully be some time in August.

Going to London

Who cares, you're still driving on the wrong side of the road.

Mod Meet

I wish I was a mod... even on NGC again... I liked feeling somewhat important, even if it was like wiping the asses of children with sever Downs Syndrome...

The New Layout

It'll happen when it happens. Yes it looks sexy, and yes it has a bunch of new features (like user pages :3), but whenever it comes out, it'll be worth the wait. Promise.

Cocks

It's not gay if you say "No Homo" before you grab it.

There's no "i" in "team", but there's one in "masturbation".

I'm pissed off

I wanted to buy a boxed set of Captain Planet DVDs, but it is appearently the only show from my childhood without a fucking box set. wtf. And my teacher said we could watch it all this week if I found them. Fucking Media Commercialism.

Captain Planet = One of the Best Shows Ever

Exept for the South American kid with the power of Heart. He was a huge faggot. The only compensated by giving him a monkey, which is the shit. Anyone here would agree that having a pet monkey would be the shit.

Also, Captain Toxic is by far one of my favorite fucking villans ever. It's Captain Planet, but on fucking acid. It's a shame, because Google has a grand total of 0 pictures of him. Oh well. I guess the environment will just have to steadily die on its own with out a psychopathic pollutant supervillan. Pity.

Head

It's good, but not all that it's cracked up to be. And unless your person is amazing, don't expect to blow your load. It's called foreplay for a reason.

Random?

Yes.

RE: Planning

Well, first I get a good solid engine going. Gather the art, put it together, work out a little demo level that will expand into the full level later on, and finish the rest of the engine. Then I put together a few levels, come up with a story while doing so, add something in the beginning that now brings that story out, add menu, game over, ending screens and boom. Game complete.

Re: Planning

I wing it and see what happens.

Planning

I think it just depends on the circumstances.. some ideas are so strong that you dont need heavy planning.. its more or less done the minute you start it.. that was the case for till death do us part.... then theres ideas that do need more thought and preplanning that was probably the case for my pico movie last year.. there is a such thing as OVER planning it though.. i think i did that in my pico movie this year.. i mapped it all out and in the end i felt it wasnt as spontaneous as some of my prior work. meh. sometimes its good to be organic.

Planning

I'm thinking maybe you and I ought to get together one day and have a couple beers, BMK. You're not making out to San Diego this year by chance are you?
Your description for how you plan is damn near exactly how I go about making Flash movies... when I actually made them.
I've got a lot of ideas in my head, full length 3 and 4 minute animations, and yeah, I can't seem to sit for more than a little while actually making them come to life anymore, but they all come to me in my car when I'm listening to music. A story starts spontaneously creating itself as I'm listening, and over the course of the next few days, I listen to that song over and over again until I've got it all planned out... in my head.
I storyboarded once, even wrote a screenplay for it first. Had about 80 hand drawn index cards thumbtacked to my wall. Working on that alone with the whole thing in front of me like that about scared me to death!
Long story short, I always plow ahead with as little planning as possible... which, consequently, is probably why I haven't submitted anything the NG in the last two years.

Beer is nice, however socializing is not really my strongest area of expertise, haha, it's something I'm working on though. Anyway, I can't imagine that I'd be able to get out to San Diego anytime soon, although it would be great fun, I'm sure.

I'm in the same boat as you. Two years is pretty much how my Flash drought has lasted, it's been a stormy couple of years too. My muse awaits in Colorado, or so I hope. Central New York doesn't really do anything for me. =\

No worries, there's probably a good reason why our artwork is as similar as it is... my friends joke about how I hate everything and everybody. They're good friends... I don't know why they like me to tell you the truth, but they do.
Socializing for the hell of it is pretty much the most miserable thing I can do. The right people make it alright though sometimes. Tom and Luis and the rest of those crazy fuckers... them's good people to spend some time with.

Hope that goes well for you. Change of scenery always helps. Hell, I've been trying to move to Vancouver for the last two years.

I'm pretty sure that would turn into madness for a series, but if your going for something like the simple line series, winging it could be a good thing.

I'm back

And I've got a new game.

If I had planned Hook Shot it would not have happened, it was spontaneous and was exciting to work on...

Although a little planning doesn't hurt.

New Features

We all know Tom stopped the name change option to make individual pages for each user, now do you think our pages could be like a Deviantart page or sheezy? That would be a cool feature!

Paranoia Paranoia Everybody's coming to get me
It's awesome that you are back, chances are you haven't a bloody clue who I am but you helped me out a bit when I was starting up with flash.

Also your game, saw it when it was under judgment didn't realize it was by you but thought it was awesome. Calmest game I've played in a long time, the music really helps the game a lot. Great work.

Im oblivious?

Theres a shitload of collabs going on right now. I'm kind of disturbed.... have i been under a rock or something.

a few are jjust old collabs that are still not finished, one or two are crap and a few are stuff mod's like you should of locked but were too busy not being here to do anything!

Sleeping

Not been able to sleep right for the ast few days (weeks) now.. sucks balls.. spend all night trying to seleep.. and aorund 4-5am.. sometimes later.. i sleep... then i cna't get up.... passing in and out of dreamcs randomly..

it's just irritating >:(

dispite barly sleeping i never manage to get tired enough to sleep ealry the next day >:(

Wargh..

Sleep

I normally hate sleeping.. i feel like im wasting away precious time i could be using doing something more productive.. however being well rested and tackling the next day is like night and day, i end up getting alot more done when ive had a decent amount to sleep (thats not rocket science i know).

One thing i have noticed though is that if im up late and i took a redbull or some sort of energy drink.. after it wears out you become reallly really tired from the withdrawal from that energy boost.. so i dunno maybe you can use that to your advantage and have one a few hours before youd like to hit the sack ... worse case scenaraio youll be even more awake and youll hate me for that advice. :(

Worst thing about not ebign bale o sleep. you realise that all the ime spent trying to sleep you could of been doign somehting productive.. or something anyway..

i have the Dreamcst next to my bed (wtih tv boviosuly) so when i am lieing there. i could be playing the DC instead.... but what if i play the dc and it causes me to be more awake than i already am?

it's a brain hurtingly annoying situation... if i had used the time i wasted lieing there tring to sleep all these years i could have days of extra living time >:(
