"nice"

submission: Think!

date: November 6, 2007

not a bad movie, nice bit of anti-chav media is always enjoyable. My only critisicm would be to sort your perspective out, the angle at which that guy was sitting compared to the rest of the car was quite confusing, it looked like he had an arm growing out of his chest.

Score: 10

"i'm speechless"

submission: Waterlollies

You are amazing dude, no one else in the world can make flash do what you can do, you should be so proud that you can create something so beautiful. Your worlds are so detailed and intricate, absolutley flawless animations, so much time and effort has been put into every single frame, I bow down before you, you sir are a flash god.
I have been captivated since your first bitey movie, and I have loved every single one since. Please keep going with this, you are absolutely amazing.
If it was posible I would give you 100 stars, but they only go up to 10.

"I'm a biochemist!"

submission: //Biochemistry

date: November 1, 2007

I have a degree in biochemistry. I am starting a job tommorrow making dog leads.

true story.

In reference to your movie, It was pretty nice, although at the start you lingered on the whole "earth element" thing a bit too long, it was a bit to phillosophical for my liking. Also, you didnt really talk much about what biochemists actually studied, it was a fair overview, but a little bit of detail such as some specific cellular proccess of interest to biochemists (ATP synthesis, metabolic pathways, transportation of substances across lipid bi-layers, etc) would have perhaps shown a more indepth knowledge of the subject.

so yeah, add dog lead maker as possible career choice for biochemists.

Score: 10

"Very nice game!"

submission: Trick-or-Treat Adventure!

date: November 1, 2007

As a point and click game maker myself, I know a good one when I see one, and this is amazing. Its ruthlessly hard, but its cool.

I'm stuck at the moment, so I am gonna wait for some tips or anything that can give me a clue how to kill the spider, but here is how to complete the costume for people who are still confused:

Get the comic and the stained pants from your bedroom.
Get the superglue, cutlery, cereal and the bucket from the kitchen. Use the superglue with the cutlery (from the kitchen drawer) to make the claws. Read the note on the table, it is talking about the lights for each room, make them match its description as you go along.
Go to the bathroom and fill the bath with water. Add the cereal to it to make it blue. Then use your pants on it to make green pants.
Click on the moushole by the bathroom door a couple of times to find the parents bedroom key. In there, turn on the stereo (that controls the lights in there), then go to the living room. IF all the lights are set right, the trapdoor should open. Down there grab all the stuff including the mousetrap and drill (there is also a crowbar down there and some bug spray). Use the drill on the bucket for the helmet. Use the mousetrap next to the boots in the living room to get them. Then your costume should be complete.

I'm stuck for what to do now, I'm outside, got all the items I think I can get, but nothing is working, tried combining everything in my inventory and nothing works so far :((

"seems a bit bugged..."

submission: Heist II - Greed is Hell

date: October 31, 2007

Started off good (even if that intro did seem to go on forever), I looked around a bit, then suddenly got killed by death traps, but fine it adds some danged to the game (and once i realised I could avoid it using the keyboard instead of clicking the arrow that appears it wasnt too bad).
Anyway, I decided to check out the walkthrough just to see if I was missing anything, as I got a bit stuck wondering what to do. According to the walkthrough the phone is meant to start ringing when you loot the dead guy, well that didnt happen at all. So I am sitting here with 2 pieces of the lock code, all the items, and I can't finish the game properly.
If you have spent a YEAR working on this, would kind of expect these bugs to be ironed out. Oh well, hope you can fix them soon, then this could easily be weekly winner.

Score: 10

"Amazing!"

submission: Terror and Birds

date: October 31, 2007

I very rarely give 5/5 and 10/10, but I find it very hard to say anything bad about this movie, it was beautiful, good story, well animated, great sound, great music, amazing graphics. Nothing more I can say, just keep up the good work :D

Score: 2

"boring"

submission: Vision of an Auburn Night

date: October 31, 2007

got bored and closed it, dont know if I missed anything but it was just a crappy drawing and some red text, really didnt hold my attention for longer than 20 seconds.

"as has been said"

submission: 13 Halloween Tips -Tip 11

date: October 29, 2007

this isn't as good as some of the other ones. Seems a bit lazily made, very minimal animation, simple tweens etc.

Score: 0

"this is just stupid"

submission: Join NG Mass Vote Club

date: October 29, 2007

Really - piss off. If a movie is getting a low score, it is because it is crap. If people want a good scoring movie, then it takes time, effort, and hard work.

A club of people who all vote 5 on every movie will completely devalue the work of every talented artist or game maker, the whole point of the NG portal is to allow people to submit their work and have it judged fairly by the community, and recieve feedback about how they can improve it etc.

I have only ever released 4 submissions onto NG, each one has done better and better, the last passed judgement as blue and won a daily 3rd place. I am now aiming to get a game of 4.0 + and a daily first place, but I want to do it through my own hard work, and not because some band of mindless idiots have joined some mass voting club so that their 3 second loops of hitler pleasuring a carrot dont get insta-blammed.

Score: 4

"hmmmm"

submission: The Sketch Collab 07'

date: October 26, 2007

I like to be honest in my reviews. And because of that, I have to say that I didnt like it. I didnt think that any of the animations were particularly interesting, they all just seemed to be either rushed, or starved of inspiration. You can only watch a dot move around the screen (and spell words or turn into swirly lines) so many times, before it gets very old. I'm pretty sure that individually, any of the animations contained within would get blammed on the portal within minutes.

However, the execution was very nice, the music was good and the menu was cool. Those were the only good bits tho, you should really have a "minimum quality standard" for all contributing artists, so that you dont get so many cruddy animations in the next collab.

There were perhaps only 2 worthwhile artists in this collab, I am pretty sure that anyone who watches the movie can work out who those are for themselves. The others need to go back and learn how to make decent flash.
