AL in Space

"Lol @ video game references"

submission: AL in Space
date: October 9, 2007

Mario vs. Browser. Nice humour, a little confusing as to where it was going, it was all over the place, I dunno where "Al in Space" comes into it, he was just a random character... next time could you make the plot carry on a bit better please?
7/10 for humour.

Confusing movie, crazy movie... yes it is!
AL is living a very strange day, but hey, Life is a videogame! ;)
Next time the story will be certainly more comprehensive, don't worry :P

Since You Been Gone

"This is nice"

date: October 9, 2007

It all flowed together well and it looked very well done. As you pointed out yourself, maybe add some colour to your next flash. And you must have a preloader, otherwise it might stop and start in the middle of the movie (like it did with me).
Otherwise, well done, I look forward to more flashes of this skill level in the future.

Author's Response:

Thank you!
Sorry it started off in the middle... I had no idea that that would happen! I'll definitely try a preloader...
thank you for the review!

Animax Math Quiz

"Not bad..."

submission: Animax Math Quiz
date: October 7, 2007

Some questions got a little bit tricky towards the end, although nothing terribly hard. The last question was waaaaay too simple, it was easier than the previous ones. You should step it up a notch, with harder algebraic questions.

Nice game (should put it down as a game, not a movie...)

Tweening Tut.

"Honestly..."

submission: Tweening Tut.
date: October 5, 2007

That was terrible. A tutorail is something that is meant to have a neat presentation and an organisation of useful information, which is meant to impress the person who knows nothing of flash. People should be able to look at it and say "wow, I wish that I could animate like that" which makes them WANT to watch the rest of the tutorial. This... hmm, you edited the NG preloader to look much worse than it started with, you should have left that as it was. The coloured movieclips in the corners, they looked really messy, at least could you have refrained from moving them around. Then the tutorial taught me how to draw three completely different poses of a STICK FIGURE and link them together to make a movie clip that looks nothing like walking. Then you show the very basic art of TWEENING. Click the timeline, "insert motion tween". There are so many tutorials that show how to tween, and then go further on to more useful information. And as for the walking stick, anyone can do it like that, you should learn how to make it look decent before you tell people to copy you. The last thing the flash portal needs is more noobs uploading poor stick flashes. Please, PLEASE, brush up on your flash skills before trying to teach others flash.
Beginners would find a lot more help in a proffesionally made tutorial.
Sorry to sound harsh, but this is just terrible.

TheExtreme Stick Tutorial

"Hey nice tut."

date: September 30, 2007

I'm just starting to get into FB animation. There was one thing in the animation that confused me... the v-cam thing, it looks very useful, bit I haven't a clue as to how to apply it to my own flashes. I'd feel like I was ripping you off if I just copied it across, can you explain/link to somewhere that goes into more depth on this camera technique. Much appreciated.
Cheers.

torture bootsy the ghost

"This is not original"

date: September 30, 2007

I have seen pretty much the same thing, different characters and better graphics elsewhere, so maybe you should start again and try and create something original. I'mprove the graphics, make it more interactive. I'm sorry, but this did not impress me at all.

date: August 24, 2007

All I have to say is- excellent choice of music ;D
Looks like this is going to be a cracker, with you and mizox at the helm, there'll be no stopping ya's.
I'll get to work on some more music.

Sonic & The 16bit World 3

"Not half bad"

date: June 30, 2007

A few things need tweaking here and there, the sprites need more movement, it gets boring after a while, the voice acting gets a bit crapped out with the mic, the character's voices sound kinda weird... The plot wasn't too bad, but you could probably cut out heaps of random stuff, it didn't really keep my attention too well.

Not bad though.

Cheers.

The Video Game Quiz

"Challenging"

date: June 23, 2007

I like how you really get put under the pump to get through the quiz. Some of the questions seem pretty easy, but the timer sorts that out. I'm expecting a greater challenge for the next round.
It's a good game, much better than basic q&a, quick thinking.
Nice work.

Thanks for using my music =D

Author's Response:

Hey, I liked your music, it sounded great, definitely keep making more! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'm also glad you liked the time limit, but I'm probably going to extend it due to that being the most requested fix.

Blockhead: Episode 9

"No! Stop!"

date: June 5, 2007

This has a fresh style to it, it's really good, but his conscience looks a bit too different... But Blockhead was as hilarious as ever, in his blissfully unaware attacks on society. I noticed this episode was a lot longer than the others, it's good to see you developing more out of this series.

Classic random comedy.
