"Hadoken!... Did Spiderman say that?"

submission: 3D Fighting:Bloody Rage 2

date: March 27, 2009

I do have to say this is technically impressive when it comes to the concept:
Never seen a 3D fighting game made with Flash before.

But as this being BETA version, I'll give you some pointers on what to work on:

-Needs more attack buttons, probably something like different buttons for regular and special attacks would be nice

-Needs more variation with character models. All of them are the same, just with different textures.

-Music is really missing here, which is a let down for a typical fighting game.

-All of the characters need more personalized attack move sets. Even you have to admit SpiderMan doing the hadoken is really odd.

-Character fighting stances are all the same, because they are the same models just with different textures. Try fixing that.

-Jumping is somewhat akward and executing attacks while jumping is clumsy

-Although not something you need to take attention in to, the game would probably work better with 2D enviroment, as you cannot really move all that well around. Plus the 3D enviroment makes the game slower, because it consumes more CPU to play properly.

-Hitbox response is random at times and sometimes when the character clearly hits the opponent, the opponent doesn't seem to even budge.

-Try giving some different voices to the characters. All of them doing the same voice clips tends to be boring, rather than decent or anything.

But you still have my kudos on making a 3D fighting game with Flash and that it actually works. Maybe not perfectly, but still. I'll make sure to check the full version whenever you get it done.

"First stop motion?"

submission: WALL-E & R.O.B.

date: February 25, 2009

So this is your first stop motion? Okay then!

Well, to start off...
It was pretty simple and fun looking stop motion. I liked the laser effects that came from R.O.B's eyes, but... They just seemed to be some short blinks of light rather than actual laser shots.

The idea was simple, just Wall-E messing with R.O.B until he gets pissed and starts chasing, yeah. Nothing complex. Just simple idea with a simple ending aswell.

Audio track was nothing special either, just existing lines from the Wall-E movie and other sound effects.

Okay... Now to constructive feedback with the animation...
As an ex-animator in claymotion and stop motion, I have to say that you could have taken more frames of movement with your camera, because at times it looked that everything was all jumpy and hasty. It's the usual thing to happen to new comers to stop motion and I can relate to that aswell. If you take a lot more frames, the video can be put in to a simple video editing program so you can adjust the frames per second rate look nice and overall result is a lot better.

So...
In overall, this is simple, nothing new, but pretty good looking first try at stop motion.

Animation: 4
Audio: 5

Overall: 4

Just try harder next time you do a stop motion, ok?

"...You what?!"

submission: Its a Tank!

date: February 17, 2009

So that's where tankies come from!
I found it gross though, because of P-Bot of being pregnant.
But I love Tom's acting, that's for sure.

Nice usage of NG audio portal music, 3D animation and real acting.

What a swell way to promote the coming up Tank Awards.

...Also it's P-Bot's first time to get co-author for something!

"Hmm..."

submission: & So We Love Playstation

date: February 3, 2009

This is a fair try, but not the best possible.
Let's start with the animation...

The animation seemed to be pretty rushed as for example the manager's scaling seemed to be little off at times and also the artwork wasn't all that clean. But I can accept that. Lip sync worked quite well though.
The main problem with the animation was that most of it were just quick drawings. They could have been at least somewhat animated even if it would have raised the amount of work a lot more.

Then the song itself...
I'm sad to say this, but FrancineLouise didn't even sound she was seriously trying at singing. She seemed to be bored or so all trough the whole song. Singing requires you to put your whole heart in to it, not just sing with the same tone all the time.

The lyrics had some small problems aswell, mainly because some of the games are not originally for playstation at all. C'mon... Chrono Trigger? It was first released for SNES and Tales of Symphonia works better and was designed for the Game Cube. Just to name a few. In my opinion (note: MY opinion) the lyrics would have worked better if the lyrics would have mentioned the games that originally came to Playstation or so.

But thanks for the "We didn't Start the Fire" music on the background.

Animation: 4/10
Music: 5/10

In overall: 5/10 (2 out of 5)

Try to work harder next time, ok?

"Is that... What?!"

submission: Is that... Barry Scott?!

date: December 7, 2008

For real at first I thought this was some satirical joke on your "Is that... Mario & Luigi?!" when I saw the title. But I was pleasantly surprised. :)

Another crazy flash right there, gotta like that Cillit Bang banging action.

Score: 7

"By god!... Haha, I love that"

submission: Frankin

date: November 6, 2008

Haha, pretty simplistic and nice Halloween animation right there. I liked Jim's cameo appearance there and also liked that the Old Man Frankin was still there!

I do wonder how did he turn out in to a such big load of candy when being chopped off by a aeroplane... Spinny thingie, what has he been eatin'?!

Anyway, pretty good animation there, although seems a bit rushed with it. Also the voicing was quite low, but otherwise pretty good.

I enjoyed it, but it had some flaws, but this being a filler I don't mind that.

"Daymn"

submission: Fallen Angel Ep. 1 (Pt2)

date: October 25, 2008

I remember watching the teaser when I just had joined Newgrounds and now that I finally get to see it...

Man, the artwork and animation is really impressive. The story has some cliché'd parts, but I don't mind those, this being a Flash movie that's really well done.

This here, is absolutely the best Flash I have ever seen here on Newgrounds, not only because of the animation and such, but because of dramatic and interesting story not to mention the great variety of sound effects and the small voice acting when there was any.

I definetely will check the third part when it comes out as I really want to know what happens next in this episode 1.

Also good luck on the future episodes, they will be ones that I will definetely check.

Bravo.

"Played it all way through in one sitting"

submission: Mastermind: WC

date: October 6, 2008

Heck, playing this through was really fun to do, took aproximately about an hour to do because I liked messing around with the world.

Really well done RTS game and by that I really mean it, it gets little bit easier when you get the hang of it, but before that this game can literally kick your butt if you aren't sharp enough to think what to do next.

The way how the technology and all got developed all way through was nice touch and the world events gave nice differences to it too, but if you are good enough with the usage of minions you don't really need 2 hand henchmen, which quite disapointed me.

What I really liked in this were the visuals, I really liked how it was just like the Mastermind series artwork way and then some parts like enemy units stood out for the different colors or so.

I was truly amazed at first that you really went through all that trouble to make the different scenes where you get to see did you fail or not, really nice and unique touch it has.

Plus, the good cast of voice actors was spot on, really fun to listen to and enjoyable. Nothing worth complaining in that part of the game.

Only thing that bugged me was that maybe you could have bought some tanks or so, just using minions and henchmen was little bit boring when enemies attacked with tanks and all that in the later phases of the game. I kinda cheated and escaped to the moon for the 1/3 of the game, which made the game really easy. Probably if someone wants some better challenge should stick to the starting base or so.

Overally it was fun, had a lot of customisation work to do, it didn't get buggy or laggy (for me that is), voices were great, amazing visuals and it gave you the real feeling of a RTS game.

Best game I have ever played on Newgrounds -- Must play for everyone!

"Another great ones"

submission: MGS: Flash Collab DISC 02

date: September 20, 2008

I have really hard time deciding which of these two are better, both have a lot of parts I enjoy, but this seems to have more of those ones, probably this had the best ones from the whole thing.

Anyway, everyone did a great job here. Maybe some of these weren't as good as some others in animation quality or voicing, but I enjoyed all of them in general. Also nice to see that Egoraptor made a part without the usual "awesome" styled graphics.

I really have to watch it through again, because there are so many parts that I cannot even remember now after watching it.
