[madness attempt]

Average madness attempt

I'm sorry, but your I'm absolutely sure you could have tried harder on this.
1. The walking animations are very unrealistic, and the bodies don't move at all because of recoil of the guns. I know for sure that if you put a little more effort, time and practice into your animations of walking and shooting, they will look a lot better.
2. The guns were obviously taken from Madness Interactive, which isn't bad in itself, but your wounds were enlarged and pixilated, and you didn't even attempt to draw your own wounds or at LEAST find other madness sprites for wounds.
3. The flashing lights in the loader were a bit hard to look at.

However, your flash was better than a lot of crap madness submissions for a few simple reasons: You had a preloader, you had a menu (although it was messy), and you had more content.

If you are looking for more sprites to use, just google "madness aggregation sprites" or such, and your bound to find some.

But over all, this really shouldn't have been submitted. Try harder.

yea i know what you mean but i just wanted something to submit and se what would happen but thanks for the feed back

[Left 4 Idol]

that was interesting

and it was pretty funny. How did you do this without flash?

Octa8t8 responds:

Using a software called ToonBoom Animate. It can convert things to SWF files.

[Jebus's normal day]

oh god...

well, you tried.

The animation was jerky, and I can tell you haven't done very much in flash before too. The one scene that was somewhat acceptable, the one where he lasered the 1337 dude, was such a rip off from krinkels's sprites...it was just terrible. I know you know what I'm talking about. Yeah! The one where the agent kind of dissolves? You didn't make that, Krinkels did. I'm fine with people copying sprites, but this was just stealing.

Also, the halo was unproportional with his head, and the sniper rifle was too thin. He also took way too long assembleing the sniper.

Truly, I think you should up your animation skills and submit something else when you do. This just doesn't work for me.

perfectnazo responds:

well thx for commenting. i know this one sucked but i made another movie before this that is 4 mb or something. Thx for ur comment.

[This Is Not An Exit]

a work in progress

If you want some tips:
I tried doing stickmen, and I drew them with the brush tool, and when they moved I re-drew them in every frame. This makes the movement look much smoother and less jerky. Im not an artist, so they don't look as good as the could have, but they look better than your line tool drawn stickmen.

DanWil responds:

Hey, thanks for the tip. I've actually already made some models and tested them like you suggest and although they move a bit more cartoony, it is much smoother. In the future I will be doing that, but for now I'm only trying to learn things so for the next couple submissions I'm just going to be putting together what I know. I know this will get me low scores and negative feedback, but trial by fire is just how I work best.

Also, since its Holiday season, I'm feeling a bit rushed, and don't have a lot of time on my hands, otherwise if I did... I wouldn't have a problem putting less time in a day, for the sake of expansion and quality. So after the new year, I'll probably start making some better things.

Once more, thanks.

[Zombie Cadillac]

It was cool

at least until the "anti-climax mobile" that part was stupid.

RadioTubeClock responds:

aww

[Scroll Lock]

...

Does by butt look big in this?

SirCannabisClock responds:

no u look fine hun

[Freddy Ninja Madness]

wow. that was pretty cool

the powers were good, and while the animation was a bit jerky, it was still good enough to be enjoyable. Maybe if you used real madness sprites, it would look a bit better though.

WEREWOLF01 responds:

yeah, but i couldn't find them. either that or i didn't look dor them, i can't remember xD. thanx 4 the helpful comment (i could really use moar of them)
and i hope that you find whatever i make next enjoyable too :D

peace out.

[Madness mod making guide]

very helpful

A very good tutorial.

Thracian responds:

cheers

[Madness Faction]

um...

i understood nothing, and the animation was jerky. But there was a good story i guess when you look at the end, and I can tell you put a lot of work into this. I rated 4.

ZAchaPi responds:

Thanks! Overtime, the story changed alot. It was originally going to be about a madness guy going on a vacation <.< Weird how things happen, huh?

[Home of Madness]
