WOAH WOAH guys. Rebellion was never bashing me. Sure he might've been a bit negative, but he was giving constructive criticism. And honestly i wouldn't care even if he was bashing me, because i knew the moment i posted this thread i knew that I'd get this done no matter what people say. He actually helped in improving the quality of the post, by helping me see that it was too long at first. So everyone, you can back off of him. I feel, like most people, he's had some bad experience with making these and what kind of outcome they had. The only thing he's wrong about is thinking i won't be able to go through with this. And i will. Even if i have to give up all my other projects I'm working on, and I'm sorry Setto, but that may include our RHG. Don't take that as an official forfeit tho because I'm still gonna try my best. I really appreciate the concern, Reb. I mean that sincerely. Hosting a collab is hard, but i figured that. Thanks, but you don't have to worry about me. If the fails (which it won't) I'll take full responsibility, and I'll take it like a man. I'm not mad at you like everyone else is. I'm just saying I got this. Everyone else, i appreciate the concern as well. But Reb didn't do anything wrong, he was just giving advice.

I never said, you can't do this. I'm just saying what normally happens cause there's been a lot of new people who tried to make something big that realistically (REALISTICALLY) won't happen.

JUST SUGGESTIONS
The AVI and swf thing doesn't really matter if you REALLY know what you're doing. just make sure you do :D
And with the end in corner thing, that's really a simple choice to make. I'm sure you have a certain vision, so if you believe in it, don't let me or anyone else sway you. Again these are STRICTLY suggestions. Do what you want :)

Hey guys! I got an idea for a collab about video games. Here's how it works: A black stick is in a video game and he starts in the bottom left corner. He goes through this game and does whatever you want, then ends up in the bottom right corner {[X] again. }

ALL FLASH ACCEPTED Template Here:
http://www.filz.us/files/28bea4e2/b97/The_8_Bit_Collab_Template.fla
The template shows very very very detailed versions of the rules to minimize questions to me about the collab, but you probably don't have to read them if you read the basic ones below.

{[X] Anything Else: Export an AVI and send that to me instead. Follow the rules below that apply to everyone. } Just ask for FLA

BASIC RULES (some only apply to flash users)
-Video Game Inspired, clothes/weapons matching.
-Stick figure/Character must be black, beggining and end.
-Stick/character can be fullbody or whatever.
-Stick/character must start standing in the bottom left corner and end right corner.
-Implement| SFX!! Keep it Simple, just say "ADD"
-Label | Name everything in the library(symbols, tweens, sounds, etc.)
-Small references allowed.
-Make everything but sounds into a single graphic.
-Put name in top left corner.
-Joint entries, multiple entries, and very short entries are all accepted

Specifications
24 FPS;500 x 400 resolution Do 640 X 360 or Something easier to fit in a larger player [Ex: YouTube] Go for HD!

Once entry is finished, PM me the FLA and SWF or AVI in some cases. You don't want too many different files being sent to you. Keep it limited.

If you have any questions about the collab or the rules, please reply here or PM me about it.
Also I'm doing tryouts for a person to do the ending. If you wanna do it, link an animation you've made.

That's basically it. I hope this collab becomes successful, I and look forward to seeing your work.
Also, if you're entering, please let me know by PM or replying here.

All good suggestions. I do know what I'm doing when it comes to the file types. The specifications aren't exactly a big deal, but I was planning to fix it a bit anyway. Also, I chose 500 by 400 because those using pivot animator (not stykz) can only export in that resolution as far as I know. Also, the reason he has to go to the bottom lefft in the end is because he goes between each game as if he's changing kinda like in super mario when you get a mushroom. The background changes around him and he morphs into the next character, but he stays in the same place. Thanks for the suggestions, though. :)

Um, no i don't think so. it wouldn't matter anyway though. Two different entries about the same game can both be accepted if they're both good enough. Good luck!

I am in fact accepting pivot entries. Either in the actual pivot format or a video such as AVI or GIF, doesn't really matter. I'd prefer AVI format though, since you can add sound effects into the video.

Well through a pivot anim, i guess you can export a gif and add sound effects through a video editor and effort an AVI from the video editor i think. If you honestly don't know how to do that or don't want to add sound effects, just send me the GIF instead. That is if you're using stykz, not pivot animator. Pivot animator can already do AVI
