....It's amazing how many people here don't even read that far down the page these days. : /

Anyway, I love you for this. I've been wanting to strangle some of the "reviewers" on here for years now, and the removal of a summary box in the latest redesign only makes it possible to post even shorter and less meaningful drivel than before.

Message aside, there is one thing I don't get about this movie itself. The animation is good, I'll give you that, but... why's it 18.4MB in size? I was expecting something at least a couple of minutes long for the animation / sound quality this has. It may have something to do with the fact that it's in an MP4 format (or so the title claims anyway), but I've seen .swf files that have this quality of sound / graphics last a lot longer and have a smaller file size, so (if it was originally done with Flash) why convert it?

Of course, if it wasn't made in a program that does .swf exporting, then the filesize is fair enough, but even so I would've liked to see / hear you really tear into some of those braindead comments. I'd gladly wait for a much larger file to load if it's full of swearing and ranting at mindless YouTube idiots on Newgrounds. Maybe that can be the content of the inevitable sequel when said braindead commenters don't get the message this time? >:D

Dunso responds:

It's not an Mp4 haha, I'm shitty at anything beyond hitting ctrl+enter when it comes to exporting so I don't quite know what it is. I do have some heavy use of filters on bitmaps and stuff inverting and moving and such.

I generally hate hentai submissions...

...And yet, I don't hate this. In fact, I kinda like it!

Most of the NG submissions that focus on naked women are just generic slideshows of hentai, pulled from Google. Seeing something that has actually been drawn by the same person who uploaded it is genuinely refreshing, and that alone is worth a few points here.

Better yet, the animation is some of the highest quality FBF I've seen in a while. This really does look lifelike in its movements. You've obviously put a lot of effort into making this look good, and for that I can only applaud your efforts to make something more than just a contrived fap session.

However, while those aspects of the flash are very good, it's completely lacking in almost everything else. I know this was supposed to be more of a demo than a full flash, but that doesn't really make the simplicity of it any less obvious. No sound, no interactivity to speak of, and let's face it: as good as this is, it IS still just a 3-second loop whose only good feature (indeed its only feature at all) is the animation quality.

Still, that alone is worth a half-decent score at least, so that's exactly what it's getting (I wish there was a '6.5' button, but meh; there isn't). This is one hentai series I actually WOULD like to see more of (as long as it's not just about gratuitous tits, that is). If this one is anything to go by, any reviews for future Ucogi flashes from me will only get better scores as more stuff gets added.

MAEK MOAR! :P

Veinom responds:

I completely agree with you in everythng. I dont like hentai games or slideshows. They are boring, generic and repetitive. And they got bad animation. When I do something I like it to have some originality and differ from the mass. I want to make a game with her and I really dont want it to be another pointless hentai game. If you got any ideas about what the game should look like please share them with me, and i can guarantee you WILL see more of her when I get some free time from work.

You're not doing your own tutorial any favours.

Kudos for trying, but there are a few very large and obvious problems with this:

The quality isn't just bad, it's hopeless. The things you're doing are totally illegible thanks to the low resolution of the video (and the sound isn't much better - I've got my speakers turned right up and I still can't hear it clearly). Since I'm guessing you used you're own way of importing videos here, you're not exactly selling the method very well.

Also, there's the filesize. 7.4 MB, and for what? If this is what importing videos results in (read: a whole lot of nothing), why bother importing videos like this at all?

...For that matter, there's an air of pointlessness about the whole thing in general. All you're really doing here (I think) is clicking a button that says 'Import...' and following the on-screen prompts. Gee, I'd never have thought of doing that if I wanted to import a video into flash. :/

If you want to make tutorial flashes, it's crucial that you actually know more than most about Flash to start with, and making sure you're not just pointing out the blaringly obvious (or what's been pointed out a million times already in previous tutorial flashes) is also important. It's nice to see someone use the 'import' tool for something other than stealing YouTube videos for a change, but at the same time, just drawing / animating the same thing would've worked a lot better than this did.

skeleme responds:

It file size was huge because of the tut vid that I had to import and the quality was bad because i had to resize it a little!!!

Lolwut?

I'm sorry... I had to...

This is great for a stickman movie. But then again, I would think that....

Anyway, it'd be good if all the parts had sound effects (the silent ones just aren't as entertaining without all the splattering noises), and of course the animations were pretty simplistic, as per usual for this kind of movie. There are ways of making a stickman flash look more professional, but then again that kind of detracts from the fun of these things (most of the time they're funny BECAUSE they're so simple).

Still, there's a fine line between humourously simple and lazy, and you managed to get it right here, so I like it. I gave it a 4 vote, because there is room for improvement, but it's pretty good as it is all the same. Good job; kudos to everyone who made it. :)

Fizzled responds:

everyone (NEARLY EVERYONE) used sound effects, apart from mack. and someone else. but that's it really. and thank you very much for the honest feedback, i appreciate it much more than the guys who give it a 2 becuase 'it sux'

Um... random much?

I never would've guessed that I'd be starting my day by watching a velociraptor go on a chainsaw massacre. Guess you really CAN find anything on Newgrounds.

The randomness alone was a plus point; this is original even by NG standards. However, there were a few obvious areas that could've done with improvement, most notably the use of such a badly cropped, static image of the raptor. Judging from the rest of the artwork, you could've probably drawn a chainsaw-wielding raptor and it would've looked better than what I'm guessing was the 'easy' option of the static picture. You could've animated a drawn one much better as well.

Aside from that, it was actually pretty good (especially if this is your first flash). The animations of all the drawn stuff were good, as well as the drawings themselves. The voices were spot on and true to character, and the only things wrong with the rest of it were the fact that it was a bit short, and could've involved more gory animation details.

Still, all these little things add up, so it's far from perfect. For a first flash, though (one that doesn't rely on sprite sheets and is over 5MB in size just because the latest Linkin Park track was thrown in it for no good reason), it's definitely one of the better ones I've seen. Keep at it! With practice, you could make some amazing stuff!

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

hahaha thanks. It was my first real flash. I have a few super short ones which didn't really require any animations. Not animating the velociraptor was part of our inside joke. I can crop him better for future flashes, but you're right that animating him would look better. I appreciate all the advice and will use it for future work. Thanks for the review.

Another generic sprite movie.

It's not bad for a sprite short, but that's all it is: a sprite short.

While I dislike sprite movies in general, I've seen much worse ones than this, so it's worth a half-decent score at least.

The last part was indeed slightly out, but that's not the main problem I have with it. The main thing with sprite movies in general, no matter how good they are, is that the only thing they show is the author's ability to cut stuff out, import it into flash, and move said pre-made pictures around the screen. They give no indication as to how well YOU can draw/render your own stuff.

There's nothing wrong with this movie per se, but I'd have to encourage you to start working with your own artwork (since you have two previous sprite movies already). Persistently relying on sprites to do the drawing for you just looks lazy after a while, even if they're animated well.

I think you've got enough practise at just animating things (as this movie is pretty good for animation timings, minor end-glitch or not), and it's probably time to start making submissions you can completely call your own. It may be tedious to do at first, but all it takes is practise.

Good luck!

FLASHISHOT responds:

do you think i should finish this because this is my first flash

If you find me ignorant, enlighten me.
