I wish I knew how to make a game like that! Pretty cool stuff.

"Great job, rookie!"

submission: Loch ness Monster

date: December 6, 2004

YOU, sir, are awesome. You are the reason I still look in the portal for potential goodness. That had me laugh plenty of times-- mainly when the monster screams in rage and when he just splats the scotish stereotypes! Brilliant! The art in this was okay...I could tell what was happening but overall it needs some work. It just looks like you scribbled in some stuff with the paint tool. Spend a little more time on the art and something like this could be on the frontpage!

Again, great job.

"7 animators for THAT?"

submission: Anivasion

date: November 6, 2004

It was boring. I respect your will to exhaggerate stick men and boxes, but it has been done to DEATH. Not unique in any way unfortunately. I found myself bored out of my mind after the second animation. I highly suggest you go for more stylized approach. And the music-- we've all heard it before. Find some action-esq loops for each one of those animations. Hearing the same song for each one takes a lot of attention away from scene-movement.

If all 7 of you can draw well, make a full-length animation or something with more realistic/cartoonish characters. I think it would surpass something like this 10-fold.

Score: 10

"WOW"

submission: Thugjacker Half

date: October 31, 2004

That was EXCELLENT. How did you get this system so perfectly? It inspires me to attempt to make a game! Could you possibly point me in the direction of where you learned how to do this?

Score: 9

"Totally awesome"

submission: Doodieman: The Hero's Loa

date: October 28, 2004

I loved the hell out of it. Some parts were a bit long (the beginning should have taken like 20 seconds, not 2 minutes), but the whole idea in general is very comical if not halarious in that immature way that the majority of people enjoy. Great work. This goes in my favorites!

Score: 2

"Oh come on"

submission: vulture rampage

date: October 19, 2004

I admire your willingness to put a game together, BUT THERE WAS NO CHALLENGE WHATSOEVER. Make them shoot back! Make a health meter! Put in some sound even if it slows it a little! Make a super slicer magna shield! Anything!

Score: 5

"I gave this a 3"

Short, Stylish, and Stupid. Just the way I love 'em. Good job.

"HA!"

submission: ALT-AIR

date: October 18, 2004

That was really good! I laughed! I signed in just to give this a 5. You're obviously above and beyond an intermediate Flash user, so I'm going to judge you as a pro. I saw no problems whatsoever-- except the main characters pose looks just a little too light for that head of his...the only suggestion I have is to put maybe a little 'gravity' in his body-- weigh things down a bit more on him and such. Otherwise, that was awesome. GREAT job.

Score: 6

"Hmm!"

submission: Game, Etc Tutorial

date: October 14, 2004

Pretty good tutorial(s), dude. This would have kicked more ass if you worked on your whole interface and made it a bit more pleasing to the eye. And a few parts were kind of sketchy-- a good way to test a tutorial out is to sit someone down on your comp/ AIM someone who has barely any idea on what they're doing with Flash and let them read your tutorial and see if they can make perfect sense out of it. And (this is just me...) try to refrain from putting lol or such in a tutorial...it kind of degrades it from looking professional.

Otherwise, great job. Especially the Game tutorial.

Score: 1

"meh"

submission: Sword of Wolves

date: October 14, 2004

It was on the low end of a decent flash. Here's my opinion on what you need-

-- Better Phonemes-- the study of mouth movement-- it looked like you just scribbled the mouth on. Try drawing vowels like "Ah" and "Ooh" and everything, then pasting them on to the face and lip sync.

-- Better Acting-- There was nothing intense about the acting..AND THIS IS A FIGHT SCENE! I didn't "feel" the characters in any way.

-- Better...Unique spirit?-- This is probably just me, so if you think otherwise, just disregard this- I keep on seeing japanese anime characters all over the place. And I keep on hearing techno loops on par with what you had in there. They've raped the entire american animation world. Too many people are doing this. It's not unique in ANY way. Stop now before it gets you too!
