"Well, you asked for a review..."

submission: The blob (FBF)

date: December 30, 2007

Well, first, let me put it out there that I am not a big fan of the classic dot flying accross the screen fun. I feel, that there are better ways for you as the animator to piss the living crap out of me. Now I realize that you are probably going to pull the "Oh, you've never done flash before you don't know what it is like," but I've reviewed enough to know how to keep bad stuff on newgrounds and how to promote other artists.

This my friend, is a bit annoying and I feel does not meet the standards that people expect. While I appreciate your attempt to put a story line to a dot flying across a page, I can't see a noticable story line, and I can't see much logic at all. All i could readily recognize was some strange writing that looked like "bl", a sun, and possibly buildings. I feel that if you are going to submit something to newgrounds, don't tarnish a potential clean slate, and submit your best onto here. Of course, if this was just to get feedback, I understand that and take that last comment back.

Also, work on the graphics. I know some people aren't born artists (IE, Me) but put more effort into it. I know when I actually sit down and work on a piece it actually turns into something quite remarkable. So work on the graphics, and also, I don't think I noticed any sound on this flash, other than that initial song. If you want to get some more points, i recommend atleast having a narrator in the actual flash or have someone voice the narration.

Other than that, keep up the work. You've probably learned a lot more flash than I have, and it is people like you who are going to be able to carry out the legacy. Keep working at it, and maybe you'll aspire to someone like Dim (Super Flash Bros.).

Good luck on your future animations. While it may seem that I was being overly cruel and unusual, I wish you good luck on your future projects.

2/5

"Not Bad, Could do with some improvements"

submission: CTF The Silver Blade

date: December 30, 2007

Kudos for originality and having us have to run back like mad in order to get the flag and kudos for having it only be one person, but other than that, it isn't all that great. While the sword concept is new and original, the fact that when the sword is stuck in front (or on your back i can't tell) really got me annoyed. You need some kind of defence when you are getting back to your base. Also, the "k" concept, while original, got me kind of annoyed. If you want more points you're going to have to get better fraphics, have your gameplay interface be a little bit smoother, and you are overall going to have to work a few things out.

Also, in terms of better graphics, I appreciate that this is your first time, but try to make the walls into the "fort" a little bit more like walls. Stick some green floor on there, make the soldiers look like people, and have your character not have a "ghost". Also, try and have the keys look like keys. It may seem like a lot of work, but just copy and past the image whenever you need it, and i'm sure it will work.

I expect to see more of your work, and concentrate on the graphics.

2/5

"I like the concept but..."

submission: RIP Benazir Bhutto

date: December 27, 2007

I realize that you were trying to make sure Bhutto wasn't going to die and no one would care, but honestly, if you are going to try and remember someone as important as her, put a little more effort into it. Some animation, maybe a different song other than ambient noise, and try to spell "Tomorrow" correctly.

"Great Job"

submission: skipdays:part1

date: August 8, 2007

Great Job with the animation. Technique is done well. My only complaints are that the hands and arms are comically out of proportion, and that the Xbox wasn't animated. Other than that, great work.

Score: 9

"SICK ANIMATION"

submission: Super Hero Clock

date: August 7, 2007

That was some crazy stuff right there. I'm not very into anime stuff, or Techno music, but It is definetly a great piece of art you have right there.

Your use of music and facial expression cut the need for words, and I commend you on that. Should this turn into a series, I would love to see dialog as to further develop the character(s) in the series.

Great work!

Score: 8

"Great Job Man..."

submission: Principled Depravity

date: August 7, 2007

I can see some of the aspects carried over from your Starcraft movies. Great 3d animation like always, and much more refined compared to your first few Star movies.

I was however, expecting a little more in the way of color. I realize that it might have been done in black and white to give a different feel to the movie, but after seeing the Starcraft series, this is definetly a switch.

Also, there are a few things you might want to look into. Your small running scene, where your main character is running into the car to chase after the "boss" is a little sketchy. It looks like only the lower part of his arms are moving, and there is not the full extent of movement compared to a normal human running.

Also, earlier in that scene, there is a clip, where the main character knocks the man with the Assault Rifle in the back of the head after he had reloaded. Then, about four seconds later, he reloads again, after not having expended any rounds.

There is also something strange about your character rolling, that makes him look fake. You may also want to look into better explosive techniques, and fire effects after explosions. Crackling affects for audio would be nice, and so would liquid effects and animation for when he is pouring gasoline over the detroyed truck.

Over all, Great story, and I am looking to see more work from yo!

"GREAT"

Great game concept. Got to level three and was like... i really need to finish my HW before i spend the next three years of my life on this game. Great work, keep it up!

"Pretty Good"

submission: +Quiky+ Mad World

date: December 3, 2006

It's pretty good. I don't like the song you chose. It's a great song that i love very much, but not this remix. Try using the original song, and i might appreciate it more, cause it has a lot better fell to it, rather than this semi-upbeat song.

I like the "Going Nowhere" part, its pretty good. Love it if you had a color to the sky, and maybe like a cloud. I know that's pretty easy to do on photo shop. You missed a few details but over all its decent.

3/5

Score: 3

"not to crazy about it..."

submission: KH: Mario Bros.(Trailer)

date: November 7, 2006

like the guy before said, it doesn't take much to put sprites over a background, heck i could go on photo shop and go about the same thing. My friend is teaching me more about flash (Much more into music then movies) and he is getting along. I don't love sprite movies, and i think the only actual animation in this was the portal.

ill let it pass 3/5
