Travelling Mind

"This is good"

submission: Travelling Mind
date: December 10, 2009

As far as art and animation goes, this was decent, but I'm sure you'll improve with practice.

It might disappoint you to know that, despite your effort to try something completely original, such random animations actually have a sort of genre, a collection on newgrounds. I believe it is called "experimental". There are quite a few like yours, random, meaningless.

Perhaps you're taking originality in a very literal sense. The color white, it's been used before. Using it again would be unoriginal. That, as I see it, is faulty logic.

An original plot would be something new, perhaps the basic structure of the plot has been used before, but the skin and the bells and whistles around it are new, of your own creation.

As I see it, this flash is as original as any other flash with non copyright characters. Or perhaps a bit more original. But the thing is, originality doesn't always equal a good flash. I could walk backwards in the street, in hopes of being unique. But it's impractical, and stupid. I could develop a new creation that helps people in an effort of being unique, and that would make me unique.

People are finding more and more new original concepts in games. But if you rip the game apart, you'd find that all games are very similar; you press on buttons to play, press on the correct buttons to win, press on the wrong buttons and you lose. But that's not how people look at it. I guess it's merely relative.

But in conclusion, I commend you on your efforts of trying to be original, and keep practicing.

I believe taking originality in a literal sense is a vital, and valid point. Although what you said was right about the color 'white' I can still see a problem. Using the color white again wont be unoriginal, but its not very original if (lets say) over 60% used white as their text color for their games/movies.

Yess, I believe that I will need to invest more time and effort in my drawings to!

I would rather you not brand my work as meaningless. Possibly random - but that may be boiled down to peoples opinion.

The name of the animation is called 'Travelling Mind' which should hope paint a picture of a persons thoughts being opened and thinking. Theres is a meaning but it dosent nesessarily have to be seen IN the animation. Travelling Mind should say it all.

The animation is about a Mind That travels and hallucinates granting the audience with a flashy scene of scribbles and beats.

But mabey that dosent explain it. But before you place a brand on an animation, I ask you good sir, what is the meaning of life?

it could be meaningless or have meaning, but you are we to judge?

Hot stuff, huh?

Cheers, and thanks for the feedback!

The Forest Ranger

"Microtransactions in games is a good idea..."

submission: The Forest Ranger

But only if your game is of exceedingly high quality and is a huge it. With averaged quality games, user will be offended by the fact that you want them to pay for something that is not worth it, and will think of you as greedy.

As for the game itself, it's okay. I mean it's pretty basic. There's not much to it. But you ever think about maybe practicing a certain aspect, such as programming, before working on games? Taking the time to fully learn Actionscript will pay off greatly.

P.S. Are you dudejonne from FGL?

I think the best practice for making games is making games, if you would check out my other games you must agree I've got better..

A Midnight Visit

"Incredible!"

submission: A Midnight Visit
date: September 30, 2009

A very deep and thought-provoking movie. I loved it. For those saying it was boring, if you want mindless action and killing, go watch the Madness series. The way I see it, any sort of action would have ruined this flash.

Great job, hope to see more soon.
