Chrono Trigger Flash in the works

Posted by Gustofwind Mar. 22, 2009 @ 2:41 PM EDT

I keep completing sprite movies and then decide not to release them because i don't think they're of good enough quality; i think this is partly due to the lack of story they seem to have. Anyway i've commited myself to a new sprite movie that will hopefully be better than my previous attempts.

I'm currently in the process of making a Chrono Trigger sprite movie, well not exactly...

The story will be very much centred around Chrono Trigger characters such as Crono and Frog however characters from other video game series are going to play crucial roles too. I'm not entirely sure whether they will make an appearance in the first episode though.

Basically, Crono has turned "evil", i use that term very loosely because he believes his actions are justified, although everyone else seems to think other wise.

An epic battle between Crono and Frog ensues...

And that's pretty much as far as i've got so far; i'm currently animating the fight.
I plan to have Crono emmerge the victor and spare Frogs life; which shows Crono hasn't completely flipped.

Then the rest of the series will follow Frog and company (not saying who yet) attempting to stop Crono.

The story is a little rough at the moment but i plan to develop it as i get further in.

Sonic Showdown

I'm currently creating a sprite series, starring Sonic, which you could probably geuss from the subject title. I've almost completed the first episode, well when i say completed, i'm not entirely sure if it's long enough. Is 3-4 minutes a decent length for a sprite movie?

It's pretty damn exciting coming up to the completion of your first project, first serious project anyway; i'm not very good at judging the quality of my own work so i don't really know wether it's going to do bad or good, i'm hoping for the later though :P.

Assuming my flash is long enough i've only got sounds to add now and that's pretty much it besides a few minor adjustments.

I'm currently making my first sprite movie, well when i say first i mean i'm going to stick with it, i usually end up giving up early on, but this time i won't.

It might take a while to finish, i have exams coming up so i'll be spending alot of time revising for them or actually sitting them lol.

Gears of War Vs Call of Duty 4 Vs Halo 3

Posted by Gustofwind Jan. 9, 2008 @ 7:27 PM EST

Gears of War, Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3 are probably the first games many people think of when they hear the words Xbox 360.

I'm going to state what i believe to be each games strengths and weaknesses.

Gears of War has a steep learning Curve which means you can put in plenty of play time improving your l33t $K1LLZ, which means it has a long life span. However some people may dislike this game because it's far from noob friendly and they don't enjoy being beat to a pulp by veterans.
Some weapons are also fairly difficult to use at first but in my opinion this only adds to the learning curve of the game and with that the life span. Team work is a biggy in this game, as it's not just your standard run and gun, it's a Tactical Shooter, you'll be slaughtered unless you work with your team, although you could always try and pick off enemies who have strayed away from their group.

Call of Duty is a fast paced modern war FPS, the thing that seperates this from Gears and Halo is that it's very realistic; you die after only a few hits, one thing i do find strange though is if they aimed for realism why did they give you regenerating health? People tend to do their own thing in this game even though the main game types are team based, so you won't often see groups of people following each other like lambs to the slaughter. The leveling system adds much replayability, you'll unlock new weapons and perks as you level up and your badge will also change. Running into the open and firing all your ammo into the air will most likely get you killed :). The learning curve in this game is big, although you skill level won't always be consistant and this is a difficult game to improve on. Many great players can get their kills in the 30's with only 2 or 3 deaths.

Halo 3 was greatly over hyped in my opinion, people keep slagging it off because it didn't live up to this hype but just because it didn't meet our expectations doesn't mean it still isn't a good game.
This game is extremely noob friendly and the learning curve in small, this was done so anyone, even if they hadn't played the game before could put up a controller and have fun.
It's a very classic generic FPS, you can take a crap load of bullets and jump about 6 foot in the air but these super human characteristics add to it's charm allowing for longer battles and alot less thinking :P(You can charge straight in).

My personal favourite is Gears of War, i got this game with my 360 and still play today, but the majority hold Halo 3 as their favourite; although most of these are fanboys to be honest :/ (I know i'm going to get flamed for saying that)

If you actually read all this thankyou, but seriously... 0-0 havn't you got anything better to do?

New sprite movie in the works

Posted by Gustofwind Jan. 9, 2008 @ 7:05 PM EST

My new sprite movies in the works, i'm not well known on the newgrounds scene but hopefully i will be after this. Don't bother leaving a comment if you're a sprite hater.

I'm not going to give an exact release date because i'm extremely lazy and go to college too, bad mix i know :P

I'm not going to give out any details before its released because i don't want it to be judged prematurally. Just be sure to check front page :D LOL I WISH.
