I've seen 2 of your tutorials on here they are well done.. but there are just a few problems... mainly simiple things... with this tutorial It would be really cool to show ALOT of different poses... the samuri looks cool but he could be in a much more exciting pose. you talk about the parts of the body but don't touch on perspective very much... The drawing was good but could be alot better if it wasn't so symetrical... would be more interesting to look at.

I'll play around w/ a few more, hopefully dish out something really noteworthy.

"This is pretty Cool... would like to see more."
Hey! THUMBS UP! Looks good, sounds good, Pretty funny and can't wait for more.
Just a few things bothered me. I wish the cheese was not just a circle... it looked more like a coaster than cheese... would be great to have a cheese BALL instead of a slice...
Cause in my opinion all Cheese balls are evil...
GOOD WORK... 4 of 5
Author's Response:
Very understandable... I actually had gone through different shapes before I realised A cheese Circle looked the best in the end...
Thanks!

I liked it sortof.. and trust me... there is ALWAYS room for a tutorial on newgrounds... I'm working on one right now that is coming along pretty well.. I did have a question for you the audio portion of MX is it the same as flash 5? cause I'm running flash 5 and I've picked up MX for about 15 min and got sick of it. Just wanting to know if There is some major difference in that part of the menu.
As far as your cartoon... I think you need to ease up on the gradiants... you really packed alot of info on the screen and the font was a little hard to read at times... You had some tangents with the font too... THAT made it very hard to tell which word was next for me...
I'm hoping you make it through the portal cause alot of people are begging for an audio tutorial.
Good luck.
Jack.

I liked this it was done well... just a few problems that could be easily fixed... I can tell alot of work went into it. Though I would like to have the characters have a little perspective. like a 3/4 view. would be an improvement.

a = arm._y-_ymouse;
b = arm._x-_xmouse;
angleA = Math.atan2(a, b);
degrees = angleA/(Math.pi/180);
setProperty ("arm", _rotation, degrees);
I believe that will work... If not... play with it...

I like this one! HAHAHAHAHA! I just wish we could have seen the "Couple" go on more romantic dates... would have been a blast seeing them have a family or something... But A+ just for the frolicking... made me laugh hard... wasn't expecting it.

I really think this is Very well done! I can appriciate the trouble that went into coding this. I applaud you. I would have like a little bit more entertaining things happening... like on the lvls have different designs.. as you work deeper into the sewers, or something. This is great. Keep up the good work.

In the note it says it gets better as you go along... It could be alot better still but this is WAY better than most of the stuff that gets submitted. I liked it... but with some more animation skills I would have liked it ALOT more. also you have the music but your characters don't have any sound... I think that if the arm sucking part had an appropriate sound and other sound effects were added it would really maximize this animation's potential.

Few redeeming qualities... The crying milk thing is funny... um... The attempt at action is quite good but the graphics Really take away from it.
I would like to say it's great.. but I would be lieing.. its on par with most of the stuff that gets blamed... sorry.

Well it's not the animations really that need work it's the drawings... I suggest you invest in a graphics tablet. I'm new to newgrounds but I'm not new to flash. With a graphics tablet you can get alot more control over your lines.
Also. if you smoothed your lines the file would be smaller and would look alot better. the cartwheels needed to have him more like a wheel than a board. spread his arms and legs next time.... thats about it for me I think.
