so it seems like using form animation instead of standard animation.

sorry but i don't under stand.

[Hnyarly]

sorry but i don't under stand.

Sorry, I meant "shape tween" and "motion tween". I did a bad translation (I don't use english Flash version xD)
:S

Ah this is very pretty! If you need help figuring anything out script wise, please let us know. These forums have a healthy amount of code monkeys! Oo oo eek eek!

For example, I could tell you to set a variable _root.transition that will let your button know if the text is currently changing to prevent conflicting action. Also, I could tell you to make each "page" its own movie clip set to fade in and out depending on the value of _root.transition; this way the button only works when the text is fully visible and the text fades are automatic.

Button code:

Code: Select All Code

on(release){
if(_root.transition){
_root.trans += 1;
_root.transition = false;
}


"Text" movie clip code (x is the sequence of pages (1 for first page, 2 for second, etc)):

Code: Select All Code

onClipEvent(load){
this._visible = false;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(!_root.transition && _root.trans==x){
this._alpha += 20;
if(this._alpha > 99){
this._visible = true;
_root.transition = true;
}
if(!_root.transition && _root.trans==(x+1){
this._alpha -= 20;
if(this._alpha < 1){
this._visible = false;
_root.transition = true;
}
}

Fantastic start. Thumbs up
Music is great. the storytelling medium is great. No pressure.... much

[omp123]

I really really like your sketches.

But sweet monkey jesus the scripting in your flash is awful, and the art really isn't transitioning well into flash. I'm sure you're working on the scripting part, I just recommend that instead of drawing directly in flash for, say, the book, you can just as easily draw it in Photoshop or some other medium and import it into the flash.

I like the multiple clicking, personally :'D

[Suraru]

I like the multiple clicking, personally :'D

I lold

I do love the art, and I understand your not a programmer XD

I recommend getting someone to help you out, this game has potential, it has a decent plot, and some good art.

I would help but,
I barely worked with flash, I gave up when I couldn't make my own art, the coding was simple if you knew java (and i KNEW java ;_;)
I am relearning java again, I love how when everything comes back to you, you excel in that part of the class, and everything is easy because you only forgot it.

(Also, if you don't like the multiple clicking, right click and click forward
I think I know the problem with the clicking thing, but I couldn't help you right now)

Actually have noticed the Next button screwing up. i know what the problem IS, i just havent figured out how to correct it yet. AS2 will not let me use 'GotoAndPlay' with 'NextFrame'.
as for making sure it only works at certain points, thanks, Gorepete! =^^= ill try to stuff the code in!

the page transitions... i just dont get. the text isnt even animated. the only thing the tweens do is make each text layer fade in and out. for some reason that seems to make a bunch of the vertices start wandering around. at speed it actually looks okay, like a quick smearing of moving ink or something (each transition is only about 1/6th of a second)
since this looks passable at speed its on the backburner until some of the big problems are fixed.

I mention the music because the music at the main title is copyrighted. im TRYING to be halfways professional, so i want to find something nice thats royalty free and still fits.

Omp123, im doing all the drawing in flash because this is going to be a BIG game by the time its done, and vector images take up a LOT less space than raster. also, i dont have a pad and stylus, so this is all mouse drawn and it wouldnt look any better in any other digital medium. plus im horrific at hand drawing animations. i can do stills okay, but i just dont have the practice and experience to do a lot of animation and have it look good. Im just going to need flashes tools to animate things for now.
as for my code, i know a couple bits are messed up right now but theres really not very much code IN here yet. a few stops, a couple gotoandplays, and one epically screwed up Next button. XD

anyway, if youll all excuse me, i just turned slightlymorethan29 and i think im going to go hide from reality for the rest of the night. XD

Good art, mang. Keep up the good work. I see much potential.

[Sync]

What artwork you've done is pretty good. Lots of potential there.

However...

Could you make the dimensions a little smaller...? Not everyone has (or can afford) a monitor running 1200 height (for example I'm running 1600x900, and that's not likely to change any time soon).

[Red.Sheer]

This is so cute I love that I'd really love to see this game progress, let alone a love story between a girl and her pet (if that was planned - I certainly would like that ).

As far at it is, the music and the design, its kind of... magic

[Niekitty]

Hi again all!

Sync, the project resolution is at 1024x768. not sure why its looking bigger for you =o_o=

Hnyarly, yes, i'd love help! sorry, i'm still tagged as new here. XD not enough posts so i cant send private messages yet.

everybody seems to like this project so far =^^=
with help (pre-emptive thanks to all offering) this might actually work! YAY!

[haladar5]

Love it. I await further installments.

[blackcore11]

love the music, it's looking good so far. keep it up

[KPD27]

I have zero programming skills, so I can't offer any help (unless you wanted storyline help, I'm pretty good at writing stories). But I am looking forward to this, it seems like a strong start with a lot of potential.

Why aint I able to go past the intro o .o
The game's still in progress?

[Suraru]

Wonderful animation with the book Gorepete XD

nothing like *Penis* and "Poop", with random scribbles, to make a great book...... We have no life.

[Zero251]

I'm liking the animation and story so far! I can't wait to see what comes next! And lol, Suraru. XD

Hello. Another random lurker on this site deciding to take an opportunity to make something fun.

Now, keep in mind, I really like your current music selection for the game, it's quite amazing, and like other posters have commented, makes one feel almost magical.
However, I thought I'd throw in my two bits and attempt to help you out if you happened to need more.
I'm a fairly fresh face to making music and just recently got FL Studio, so I'm still learning how to do juxtaposition of sound gracefully, but I'd be glad to help and I'd love the challenge of aiming for what kind of sound someone else wants to hear.
Also, love what the project already has going for it. I'd love to contribute to this to help it move along, or to just make it feel more like you want it to.
