New project!

Ok remember when I said I wasn't going to do sprites anymore? Well... I decided to come out of retirement. Why? well hearing that alvin-earthworm isn't making anymore is sad enough. The only person I know that's still holding strong is R1665. which is great because hes good at what he does. But I just can't have him be the only sprite maker left. That's not cool... No one deserves to be alone :D Like I say to my friends "I never stop running out of ideas, but i can only do one at a time :("
so in other words, I'm going to put one of my ideas in motion! I will give you a test picture below.

[As for those who think sprite animations are done and dead. You can all go suck it like a pro.]

Ok ill explain what we have at the moment... First off, Ive never seen a sprite video that focused on Machines/Robots. So I decided to make a flash video that deals with machines getting cut up and blown to bits. Sounds kind of hard for me, but Im sure i can pull it off.. This isnt a series its just a fight. 2 vs ALL. lol I've been playing the Sh*t out of ninja gaiden 3 with that whole steel of bone crap they added. So you can say my inspiration came from that alone. That picture was made on photoshop but thats pretty much what Im aiming for. I wanted a more darking theme to it, but I dont want to looking for backgrounds LOL. OH by the way, this was the VERY FIRST background I ever used in a sprite animation. literally... :) I still have that video posted here so you should watch how Sh*tty it is lmao. omg I was such a noob... ;D

ANYWAY! This will be called "Heavy Machinery" Not the best fit name.. but its all i got, so if you have a better name, fill free to comment below with it! :)

I'm glad because I miss seeing good sprite animations.

How about "Advanced Robotics"

TechLeSSWaYz 2012-04-30 21:25:13

Oh snap! I kinda like that better, thanks! Unless so eon else has something better ill be sure to use it and credit you for it :)

It really sucks that Alvin-Earthworm is quitting considering he's one of the best damned directors on this site. Plus, it looks like this has original characters, but I'm not too sure. Here's two people worth checking out:

Thanks, ill check them out! And both characters are from the game Meltly Blood. Im probably the only person on newgrounds who uses sprites from that game. Lol...

Well, I felt sad that Alvin-Earthworm cancelled his well-known flash series on this site.
Plus, you've made this project a little interesting to watch and view, but I'm not pretty sure about this. Here's a flash creator worth creating the series:

I think if you want to make it appealing, this should be a storyline of some sort, sometimes if you want to please an audience, it's got to have a story (Though not necessarily, but it's a plus). Second, choose the characters carefully. And third, if you have trouble with this, you should form a team, sometimes, getting a group of people who can do sprites is helpful.

For a title, I'll go with Termination: Heavy Artillery.

TechLeSSWaYz 2012-05-03 18:09:10

In other words... You arent 100% about this idea? LOL

aznpikachu215 2012-05-03 19:47:35

I never said I was never 100% with the idea. What I'm saying is if you want to do it, I support you, but give it a full effort, and not halfway like your previous flashes (Don't mean to be dude.) Give it a decent story along with a cliffhanger.

TechLeSSWaYz 2012-05-03 19:47:35

Awwwwwwwwwwww! Low blow. :( LOL! Honestly my last 3 were full effort, but if you think they werent...Then Aye, ill just have to try harder. ^_^

aznpikachu215 2012-05-03 23:11:06

I'm sorry, but yeah..I guess it was just SF Epic that lead me to a couple of disappoints. I'm not trying to be rude or anything, and I know I shouldn't be criticizing to a person who knows how to make flash (Because I certainly don't). But yeah, for a title, I would go with Termination: Rise of the machines.

HeartlessKarma 2012-05-04 17:08:31

you are still sprite animating.
that is freakin' awesome.

TechLeSSWaYz 2012-05-04 17:08:31

yes.. very O__O

R1665 2012-05-05 03:18:58

I don't see sprite animations as being dead or dying. Not in the least. I see it as being in the period between dynasties. Remember - the first sprite dynasty was built and popularized by only a few.

...and the few we have left are more than capable of building the next one.

R1665

TechLeSSWaYz 2012-05-05 03:18:58

well then people need to stop stating that its dead. Ive had more than a few come to my post or one of my other sites and say "sprites are dead" and what not. Im just saying it now so i wont have to tell them later ya know?

HeartlessKarma 2012-05-06 01:45:48

hey Tech, my flash is done, and will finally be posted on tuesday.
maybe i can be one of those few R1665 was talking about.
right!......right?

TechLeSSWaYz 2012-05-06 01:45:48 (Updated 2012-05-06 04:53:43)

really?!? O__O whaaaaaat! how exciting. Cant wait to see! And dont worry, your effort to even make one makes you one of those people. mos people quit before even getting half way, trust me ive seen it happen :(

drool 2012-05-19 02:06:21

Heh your not alone. Haduken Dude does the 4 swords misadventures series. with sprites dunno if he makes them though. Shadowwhowalks who made Vesper battle. used Ragnarok sprites. and even made a Ragnarok game. not many others though sad to see the decline of sprite usage it's just as good at hand drawn or animated and has it's own uses.

anyway good on ya for continuing. I have no clue what all this spriter hate is about.

New project!
