[let's make a shooter! 1/3]

Hey

That's actually pretty useful. I was wondering how could I do something like this.
Thanks for this tutorial.

Oh, and I think you should add a "stop music" button, or something like that.

Genocide responds:

I'll add a stop music button in the future ones, but thanks for your review! <3

[Being One]

Wow!

This is pretty good, I liked it! The graphics are awesome!

Psionic3D responds:

Thanks!!

[NG Flagging Guide 2]

helpful

I didn't know that I could flag chain-letter reviews. I've seen some of those before. Oh well.

I already know most of that stuff, but I'm sure this can help a lot of people out! If only I knew this stuff a long time ago, I could have deity whistle right now.

And, 10 points on the quiz. It was well made.

Little-Rena responds:

Yeah, chain letters count as spam, atleast you know that now ;)

[In Utero]

Well.

Good graphics, and the game is fun. I think the "Aborted" medal should worth more than 25 points, it's not that easy to get.

FetusFulp responds:

it's not about the difficulty, it's about the dedication required to get the medals and how the majority of people will play this. most won't have the dedication to try and get them all, but there's no reason to punish them for that. if you are willing to get all the medals, then what they're worth is irrelevant, because you're getting your 250 points no matter what.

[Tree Porn Gallery]

LOL

Some of the pics were really funny. I just think you should make the quiz a little bit more difficult than that. Answering YES to every single question was kinda easy. CUZ YOU NEED TO WORK HARD TO GET THE GOOD PRIZES, AMIRITE?

GroggyLobster responds:

in fact you are right. but i wanted to share my love with everyone!

[Newgrounds Achievements 2]

lol

Nice one, there were a few funny ones there. Also impossible ones. And I got a few of these awards :3

You should make more.

Steff responds:

Oh no, Sir.
I won't be making ANY more
=(

[Maze of DEATH IV]

I do not hate it

haha. I do not hate the series. I mean, the other ones were kinda easy, and stuff like that, and the same monster pops up in the end. You changed it this time :P

Well, this time it gets really dark sometimes, making it really hard to beat. You should remove that part where the guy stops and the picture pops up. You know, you expect something scary to come, so you don't actually get scared with that.

About the animations, they were pretty good. I just didn't like the button thingys (the ones with the character speech), they look kinda simple. I don't like the gradients that come with flash, they don't look good. I think that it would be better if you put the speech in the bottom of the screen, in a black box or something. And with an arrow (so when you click it, the character proceed on the speech).

Now about the handdrawn text between the levels, they shouldn't be handdrawn. There are some cool and scary-themed fonts on the web, you should search for them and use on your next Maze of Death.

The level design was good in my opinion. I just think that you need to work a little bit more on it.

The audio was- oh wait, I'll not talk about the stuff I make. But anyways, it fitted the game.

Ok, I guess that's all.

Emby responds:

Hehe - the Swamp Witch sends a minion to scare the crap out of you this time. Unfortunately, it's not as scary as the earlier ones.

Your speech bubble idea is interesting. And yes, everyone hated the hand drawn text.

Glad you enjoyed...!

[Maze of DEATH 3]

Haha

Looks better now. The lighting effects have improved.
I knew that the annoying loud sound that is used to scary people was coming and I removed the headphones.
Hehe

Now stop with that crap >_>

Emby responds:

Hehehe you saw it coming...

It is way too obvious... but I'm gonna make TONS more, so expect them soon...

[UG to Preloaders !]

Nice.

I've been looking around how to make a custom preloader, but I haven't found anything good, and then I take a look at this. Hehe.
Thanks for the tutorial :D

Oh, and I also have a question, does the variable _width work with images? (I mean, if you put something like thisimage._width=10 will it change the image's width?) Because I want to make preloaders using some cool stuff, you know, the one color loading bar looks bad, so I want to make a gradient one in photoshop.

coocooletmoi responds:

First thing, thanks for the 8 !
Second, it is possible to do it for images :
Just follow my tutorial, only, instead of the fill color, put your image on the LoadBar layer, (BE SURE IT'S A GRAPHIC!) put it's instance name to "loadBar" and put it's width to 1. And tada! You have a preloader.

[Maze of DEATH 2]

It's ok.

The game is kinda good, different from the other maze games.
The end kinda scared me. Fuck, I was using headphones and the sound came out loud. You lose 3 points for that. And also because it was too short and easy.

Now stop with the mazes with shitty pictures at the end :D
Lol, boss at the end.

Emby responds:

Haha, got ya...
