OK - what should I do here?

Posted by NessMasta - November 4th, 2011


Since my last post was on the ol' Nintegaball GT (NBGT) screenshots from the long lost Episode 2 and a couple other things, and being laid-off for the past few months without finding any work yet is getting to where I want/need to start doing something and keeping me occupied, even if I get a part-time job for the time being until I find a full-time job in my profession.

I've lately been itchn' to get back to animating stuff in Flash and brush off those old techniques I used for flash animation from a few years ago. However, I have quite a few ideas of flash animations I would like to do; but, I would only want to do one of them.

So, what I will do here is list my ideas of flash animations and discuss about them below and you give me an opinion on which one I should do, and I will work on whichever idea you guys picked the most. Before we get to them, all of them WILL BE IN SPRITES. So here we go:

----------

#1: Nintegaball: Yes, I know I've said that I wouldn't do a sprite animation of this series. However, I've recently came up with an idea that this particular part of Nintegaball will be like the original Dragonball in the 80's, more or less a prequel series and/or an origins story. This way, I will keep the original storylines (including the Ganondorf story) in the feature-length trilogy area, which means the Nintegaball origin series will consist newer enemies. And as for the appearance of the characters for this origin series, I've decided to keep them the way they are and use the sprites I used in NBGT instead of making them look really different to where they are unrecognizable; however, that'll be left for the trilogy has it'll contain no sprites.

#2: Tron 8-Bit (or 16-Bit): I thought it would be cool and awesome to do some sort of sprite series dealing with Tron being in either 8-bit or 16-bit form. This series will use the design aspects seen in Tron: Legacy, instead of the original Tron, which I think the setup and the outfits from the newer Tron film looked awesome and better. Could this series follow after Tron: Legacy? It could, or it could take on another perspective with completely different characters.

#3: Pixel Network/Junk or Pixelated: This will be like the Robot Chicken-type of series of doing short skits using any kind of sprites from all systems sprites are used in. So nothing much else to say about this one with the exception that I know this sort of thing has been done before in Newgrounds.

#4: Pixelton: This series will take place in a town called Pixelton and well focus on a few characters. I haven't fully developed the story/plot yet, but it'll be kind of those cartoon shows on Cartoon Network that do things randomly and kind of focus on certain issues and the like.

#5: Pixel Academy: Like Pixelton, this series will do random subjects and issues. However, this one takes place at an academy school with various existing sprite characters used from a variety of games using sprites. I also haven't quite developed the story of this one yet as this one is the most recent one I came up with.

#6: Halec1974: This is an original idea I'd came up with months ago. It's about a humanoid that was specifically created by a military power in a different world along with identical humanoids that was called Project: Halec, and the protagonist of the series was in the 1974th division of this military project's brigade. Centuries after the war that used these humaoids, they've conscious and aware of the real plans and started to develop complex AI within one another, they were destroyed before they could develop any further, with the exception of the protagonist escaping from the clutches and waits until the time was right to strike the heart of corruption and evil.

#7: Metropolis: This revision is based on the 1927 version of Fritz Lang's Metropolis. It will, however, be totally modernized to fit today's standards on how we view things these days. The 1927 film is a pretty nice story and visually appealing even though it's a silent film. If you haven't seen this film, I would recommend you seeing it on Netflix or anywhere where it's available.

----------

So those are my ideas of the things I would like to do as a sprite animation, BUT ONLY ONE will be made. So which one of these seven you would like me to do?

Do anything but #1. All you did with Nintegaball was hype it up only to release one episode that was 90% stationary sprites talking to each other. SMBZ, which your "show" was based off of, was popular because of its well choreographed fight scenes rarely seen in sprite animations. I didn't really care for its story but I liked how it was well paced and not someone force feeding me a fanfiction for a half hour.

On a nicer note, your many project ideas and ambitions are admirable. Just set your sights a little lower. Just because a flash isn't a totally mind-blowing epic
doesn't mean it can't be entertaining.
