"That was impressive!"

submission: Venom ghost draw

date: December 2, 2003

Having drawn my share of art, I cannot imagine how much work that took to do in such a manner as that. I am thoroughly impressed! Though it doesn't have much complex flash involved, it's still a very amazing effect through creative artistic means. Great job. I'd love to see more stuff from you!

Score: 10

"I zoomed in on the book he's reading..."

Could you shed any light on what it means? o_0

"The hat is yours, the hat is yours, hat-baby, hat-baby, the hat is living it up..." etc? ^_^;

At any rate, I love Nef's art style and Metal's animation. I find these movies very amusing. Keep it up!

"That was halarious! I loved it!"

submission: Sweet potato

*Sigh* The message was all too true. =)

Nice graphics, great animation style, and wonderful sense of humor. I like the interactive part after the credits, too, that was fun!

Keep up the great work!

Score: 5

"Better than the first!"

submission: Wade PLZ Ban!

date: October 26, 2003

I can definitely notice the improvements between PLZ ban 1 and PLZ ban 2. A much, much, much nicer game than the first. There are some ways you can improve it, if you would be interested in making future shooters...

Things improved from Wade PLZ ban 1 that I liked:
- Enemy variety
- More weapons
- A boss
- Faster gameplay
- Background details (IE: Meteors)
- Screen Size
- Music is a thousand times better.

The concept is good. Perhaps for the best effects, I would suggest...

~ using GIFs with transparency, or taking JPEGs and using trace bitmap, followed by removing the black borders. This way, black 'squares' won't surround everything, and as a result, many of the weapon shots will look better.

~ Enemies can fly all the way to the bottom of the screen, but you can't. This can be aggrivating for some gamers.

~ Maybe you should be able to shoot the windows projectiles Bill Gates shoots out before they hit you? They're a tad aggrivating.

Other than that, however, great game. Fun, novel, great stuff.

Score: 10

"Wow... just... wow."

submission: Battle for the Portal Pt1

date: October 11, 2003

I simply love what you have done here. This is an awesome work, made seamlessly in a 3-D animation program, obviously. The synchronization with the music is simply amazing -- it's epic. Since this isn't actually vector-based, I'm going to have to use a different perspective in judging it...

Your cinematography was amazing. You could seriously get into some 3-D animation place with skills like this at your level. I notice it says in your profile that you are a film student -- you are definitely headed down the right field with skills like these.

The voice acting for Knox's soldiers and the sound effects were amazing. Aw heck -- this whole film is amazing. You, sir, are very skilled.

How many installations can we expect in this series? I eagerly anticipate the next one. o.o

"Wonderful! ^_^"

submission: New Year's Resolutions

date: October 10, 2003

Heh... and some people over in that thread on the NG News said women can't animate. Shows how little they really know. As far as the movie goes...

The graphics were great, the concept was good, it was very well executed. The sound could be better, but I understand that crappy mikes are always a pain. VAing in general is always a pain. However, you definitely made up for any shortcomings there with the humor and graphical aspects. Great job!

Score: 10

"I was in a state of shock"

submission: Aura: story mode

date: October 1, 2003

This has to be one of the best flash movies I've ever seen on Newgrounds... ever.

The animation style is amazing -- characters are very dynamic, portrayed in a wide variety of angles, with amazing lighting effects. The fusion of 3-D vector and what appears to be frame-by-frame animation is seamless, flawless in every regard -- This is amazing!

The whole film was synchronized astoundingly well with the music, which enhanced the dramatic aspects by unlimited bounds. Beatiful soundtrack, that fits extremely well with the animation.

The attention to detail is flawless. Every aspect of this film only serves to strengthen it. The choice of black and white with only blood colorized allows you to have dramatic lighting and emphasize certain aspects of the film. The shattering glass, the depiction of the marching army... amazing. And don't even get me started on how incredible that first-person-perspective scene was. I don't know how you do it, but you did it in an amazing way.

I will not be happy until this gets at LEAST daily feature and an extremely high spot in the weekly features. Amazing stuff, man. Simply amazing.

"I liked it"

submission: **Crackman -The Game-**

date: September 24, 2003

Hee hee... okay, this was pretty clever. The clip in the beginning was priceless, of course, but aside from that, pacman has always been a fun game, whether it's re-themed or original. Sure, you got the code from an open-source project, but that's what those are for to begin with, right? I think it was neat, anyway -- good job. I like your stuff. ^_^

Score: 9

"Excellent movie!"

submission: D&P

date: September 19, 2003

Alright, let's have the breakdown...

Graphics -- These were good. Darklingclock and Punclock's designs were pretty neat, and the castle was nice. The best graphics, however, come close to the end -- Bravo, you had some really nice effects going. ^_^

Sound -- Yes, they have the clock voices. The dialog, however, was funny and well executed. And the british-english thing was humorous. "Castle." "No, Castle."

Interactivity -- It has a play button! It has a replay button! What more could one possibly ask for?

Style -- I like your style. It's very neat. I want to see more things from you, man, because you are good at both animation and dialog, which is a huge strength when making flash movies for Newgrounds.

Violence -- Some, but not all that much. Not the primary focus of the flash to begin with.

Humor -- I love your humor. Rock on!

Overall -- Nine out of ten! You're a good artist -- and looking at your submissions, I would say this is your first submission to Newgrounds, and is looking really good. As I mentioned before, a combination of dialog and animation skills is a powerful one -- it's what allowed Legendary Frog himself to become what he has. If you refine these abilities, you will undoubtedly be one to join the ranks of the elite in the clock crew and on Newgrounds. This looks pretty promising, and if we were to see something more full-length, dare I say it? There is always the possibility of awards. Keep up the good work, take care, and good luck in the future. ^_^

"I don't know why you told us to blam this!"

submission: Abstract, blur and dumb

date: September 19, 2003

That was good! You have a great animation style, and I thought the movie was rather funny.

I'd encourage you to make more stuff, man, this is interesting. Maybe something more full-length? That'd be fun. ^_^
