like Psycosis91 did

Alot of people are saying the play button doesn't work, and I checked it out and it doesn't work for me either. Codes maybe messed up a bit? :/

Also, I edited it a bit. I used Pico in the preloader and another character of mine, and I just edited some a bit. I don't know ... Maybe I should just use your preloader :/

Here's mine. It's lame and stupid, but it works... for me atleast.

Eh.

I'm gonna add some special thanks in the credits to you guys for creating the original preloader that I worked off of.

You all were right. the play button was broke. Anyway heres the working version. works with all versions mx and later.

Tom told me that the version on the pico 2007 page is fixed now. And all versions are available.

assume? Do you mean, Awesome? hah :]

Its actually looking pretty decent so far, but movement is impossible when your in the air. Change the movement. Like...when im in the air, if i quickly tap the opposite direction im going, he starts heading in that direction at the same speed he was origonally going. That makes it really hard to hit platforms correcly. You need some kind of acceleration.

but looking good so far. keep it up.

And that preloader ROCKS! I love that animation so much. MindChamber is proably my favorite FBf artist on NG, ever sinse i seen his animated robot logo.

Is this any better. I increased the friction and changed the air friction... it might still look a little weird when hes in the air but i think it wont once i put in the jump animation... tell me if u think these physics are better?

My version of Nene for my project. Hopefully people can recognize it from the original one :P

SO there si a preloader now!! great!! i tought Tom was going to sya it on the news, apparently he didnt.. the preloader is awesome!! i love it!! thanks.

Pico has a pointed nose, I wouldn't forget that.

I am aware of that, I just gave Pico some of my own flavor to develop him how I like him. You don't always have to stick to the guidelines dude, I got the basics down though. It would be pretty boring if everyone had the same old generic Pico.

It's just that I have always thought of Picos nose as his best characteristic.

I was bored as hell so I made a shitty one.

I think that people should push it and see how far they can customize the character.
I sort of liked what people were doing interpretting it as an anime character etc.

It's definately more challenging because you are fighting the image people are accustomed to. Art has always been about fighting the system though so its definately possible to interpret pico in a totally different way and if you do a good enough job then people may even adopt it and embrace it. Thats how i felt about the sprite pico movie last year... i would have never thought a few pixel sprites could give pico justice.. but the attitude of the sprite and everything was right on.. and by the end of the movie i was like oh shit thats so pico.. and realistically the sprite looks nothing like the pico we are used to.
He simplified to the essence of the character. Very hard to do but definately doable.

I agree and that was one of my favs too.

Funny that you mention this cause, Pico NEVER had Uzis before, in any of his games.
That pretty much changed after Picos Unloaded, :-p

At first as I saw the "Pico Sprite" animation, there was only thing that came to mind ...
"Oh my this is going to be awful! 8-bit sprites? COME ON!"
I gave the movie a chance and than I was very impressed. The whole animation has a nice Pico feeling to it, making everything okay. The new image of Pico as an 8-bit sprite actually worked, and I was satisfied with the animation. :)
Usually, everyone's picky with being specific with the personal character. For example, when I flipped the shades of Pico's sleeves, and shirt -- someone judged it saying it was wrong. You just have to think of it this way, always being a bit different is always good. The same version gets boring to work with after a while. In the end, it's always good to experiment with the image of Pico. You'll never know what you'll come up with, you may even create a new character impersonation. ;)

Can you tell that Pico's face is a poorly traced version of the preloader Pico? :)

Just turned the head more counter-clockwise a bit :)

Sorry for double post, but I was mistaken. It's actually the...same thing. Pico's face is exactly the same except the head and hair was edited a bit.

sorry. :)

Yeah, true. You couldn't make a good Picoday cartoon about Pico working in a soup kitchen giving food to the homeless, that just doesn't make it. Ahah, I can't wait till' psycosis91 gets his ass on MSN so i can tell him his movie was referenced in the picoday thread once again :3 Back to flash now... ulgh!

I dicided I'll have a go at this.
So, uhm... Here's Pico!

Whaddaya think?

RadioGrounds announcing Audio Portal Pico Day contest winners

They will be hosting a radio-ish type of show announcing the winners and having a panel of well known newgrounds people commenting on em. If i manage to get home at a decent hour I'll be in there as well.

I thought you all would enjoy pico day related news even if it is audio portal stuff.

It's simple, but it doesn't work as well because Pico should look cool and everything. Newgrounders wouldn't like to be (artistically) treated like five-year-olds.

Might be right. Besides, if you come to think of it, it wouldn't really fit in my movie.

I dun like it, it's just - the whole style doesn't seem appealing. There aren't many people who can animate with out think lines around their character. When someone usually every does that (South Park major exception) it has a cute feeling, and the flash is usually all "sunshine lollipops." Take loco roco for example. Also your aesthetics are way off.

Happy, happy!

what do you guys think of this do you think it all looks ok and syncs ok

i have done more than this by the way i just wasn't in a mood to do complex (or at least more complex than this) animations so i just did my intro credits thing.
