when i see a stick animation, im watching and after a while i start to think - is that done in flash?

i'm not a stick hater by any means - - in fact, it appears to me that stick animators seem to have the best sense of motion and physics and contact and reaction and all the shit like that.

so my question is...

if the people are so talented and have such a knack for fight scenes ect... why dont they just just animate normally?

the drawings dont even have to be that good - but they dont have to be literally stick figures do they?

im just asking

(i have seen a few stick series try to add faces and voice acting and such and thats a nice touch - but i always wonder - why not take it the whole way?)

any comments are appreciated!

i hope i'm not too busy drinking to finish the hunter seies today.

guess i can do both! HUZAH!

I remember when i first signed up - like the DAY that i signed up i tried to start a collab and it got locked and i was referred to the collab rules ( just like so many noobs before me )

Seems like you used to go in there and there were tons of really cool legitimate collaborations you could join it was all a matter of what was of interest to you

now, to me, it feels over run with bad ideas, and recycled things like video game collabs and movie collabs.

Fornoreason came up with a cool idea with this Collab idea lounge so i thought that was pretty cool.

unfortunately it feels like its not getting really used.

*sigh* those were the days.

Once pico day ends (not that i am making anything) - maybe i will start a good old fashioned fun collaboration which hails back to some of the collaborative efforts that really got me interested in NGs in the first place

[ i was in an awesome collab run by Kieran-S but college ended up raping me so i had to drop - it should be awesome though! ]

{ ps I LOVE THE HUNTERS game series - - - -SAIYAMAN!!!!!! }

ya ok.

excited to check out all the submissions! - im bummed i didnt have time to crank out pico's brother 2 because i have an awesome idea for it.

i also had a cool idea for a pico day project called "The Crasher" (what its about is secret!) - - but i suppose that will have to wait until next year.

actually seems like i havent been hearing much from people this year about pico day, i hope people arent as time crunched as i was

anyone working on anything cool? i'd love to hear about it!

later dudes - catch ya on the flip side

no seriously i dont get it.

why cant flash make boxes with rounded corners more easily.

and why are drawing objects always getting in the way of everything.

and why is snapping so annoying. you get so mad and finally turn it off only to discover i need it some random task.

why. oh why.

i hate that flash guy....but he always keeps me coming back....so hard to stay mad at you...

i still cant get this mutherrrrr FUCKSKIGSN vcam to work.

can anyone take a look at this and perhaps give me a hand?

i didnt download it from a youtube video so maybe i need a different style of vcam?

man...i need a new game.

after i played chibi knight - with the cuteness and the upgrades and the old school boss fights i just cant find another game to compare - -

i went to some other sites like kongregate and armor games and they are just horrible...

any tips?

ps... i heard this song on american idol (like in the background)

Hey guys!

Game Jam 3 was a blast!

There were some awesome games!

a few of my favorites were
Demon Runner
There art in here was just great! i died a lot cuz i was watching the goofy way the guy runs haha

Meaty boner
this game seemed very clean and professional and i loved jazza's voice work (though i wished there were noises when you got injured)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
on a small pico day side note-i wont have time to rock a pico toon solo this year so , im thinking of assembling a four man castle crashers origins project for pico day- where each person describes the beginnings of one of the knights - - thoughts?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

BUT IN OTHER GAME jam news - - Our team revisited our game and really tightened up the bolts and added in a few things we didnt have time for

there were alot of complaints about wonky controls and such and i think a lot of those were
HAMMERED <<lolzolzo >>out....

So if you played it and thought that - we would really appreciate a second look!

SO GO KILL SOME BABIES!SO GO KILL SOME BABIES!SO GO KILL SOME BABIES!
