Psychopath's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fleeing the Complex]

Holy shit, it's like 2005 again. Right in the nostalgia.

PuffballsUnited responds:

How..? The first game came out in 2008 haha

[WHALE SIMULATOR]

Very clever, using a bunch of gradient circles to simulate 3D motion. It even looks like genuine swimming if you move your cursor in a figure eight motion.

It's too bad that this doesn't amount to much more than a tech demo, otherwise it would drown out most of the other submissions uploaded today.

SeanFirst responds:

Thanks a lot for the feedback :D!
But it's kind of the point that it is... well... pointless and just fun in a so bad it's good kinda way haha :D

[30 FPS vs 60 FPS]

The problem with your example is that you're using FLV files converted from 3D software and not Flash's native vectors, there is virtually no difference between either example because while they share different framerates they still share the same number of frames, the only difference is that one set of frames are stretched to a greater length than the other to accommodate the higher framerate.

The big difference between 30FPS and 60FPS is the speed of the animation, so in order to accommodate the same length the author can do one of two things; duplicate the same frames a number of times to fill in the time as you have here, or fill in the gaps between frames manually by creating new content that sits between the content on the former and latter frames, this can be achieved by using the Onion Tool.

If this were a genuine example of the difference between 30FPS and 60FPS then one would be able to tell the difference easily as the 30FPS example would appear to lag by comparison to the 60FPS example which would appear smooth and flowing against the grind of the 30FPS example.

krell1983 responds:

I don't use FLV files each frame is jpg. 30fps is 30fps and 60fps is 60fps.
30 fps is 60 fps but with half frames.
I tried to use FLV but i was dead end.

[The Abusive Review Quiz]

I like the concept

I like the idea of creating a review system simulation as a method of training the NG user base to rate reviews accurately. It helps give a stronger grasp as to what's abusive, useless and helpful. This really should have been created years ago by the NG staff team for that purpose; because to be fully honest, a description merely explains it in theory; but it does not explain it literal interaction and for this reason could potentially lead to misconceptions.

I would critique the graphics, what with them simply being screen shots of the actual website, but then it became apparent to me that you created this in just under a day. So I can't really blame you for formatting it like that, although updating the graphics from pixels to vectors now that the challenge is over wouldn't hurt.

I foresee this submission reaching a somewhat critical high in popularity in the near future, just given the concept alone. I really can't believe no one has done this before, of if they have, just that it was so unpopular that it wen't unnoticed before is still unbelievable.

Hacsev responds:

Thank you for your review, phsychopath! It has been created before in fact by a user named RohantheBarbarian, I decided to make a quiz like he did, only it had medals. I actually started something similar to this 3 years ago, but I lost the file when my old computer crashed. So I had to redo it from the beginning and make it with AS2 so it could have the medals.

[WAT....NO!!]

Since this has passed anyway

I may as well review it. K so this is all pretty basic crap, you get to options, one is "good" and the other is "bad"; I quote those words because of how you [loopchocolateman1234] perceived the quality of the options "go home" and "leave". You don't get to see why they're bad, you just simply get yelled at either way.

There is an easter egg in which you actually do get to see stuff happen. I found it while toggling the tab button because I was dumbfounded at how little there was and wanted desperately to see if there was anything more to... well, this.

Needless to say it's hidden in his crotch and unlike the main material, the kid depicted next to the options actual does stuff, he runs and he trips over a jagged rock. Not much to say there.

All and all, it's not spam nor is it bad for what it is, it is well put together, it just seriously lacks substance.

It would be nice if we actually got to see why those options are bad/good though, you know, cause and consequence; to see what happens to the kid that makes said options good or bad.

loopchocolateman1234 responds:

agreed

[Cone Avoider]

Oh hey it's you!

I was wandering when you were gonna have a flash of your own.

10/10

5/5

Kwing responds:

Dude, I have like 50 other Flashes. Am I who you think you are?

[run 2]

Nope.

I didn't get passed the tutorial. There was no way to do so.

90301 responds:

well learn to read it is in English...

[Slug Smash!]

Too easy and too hard

I beat the damn game and all I got was a fucking B. Why is it that level 3 was the hardest level in the game? Please tell me!

Greg-Anims responds:

the spawning is made random. BUT i made it so that it gets progressively harder..i guess you were just unlucky.

[Hillary Clinton SB]

????

I cant tell whether you're against Hilary or for her. Oh well. 5/5 for a successfull flash.

badseed1 responds:

You can go either way with the sound-board, but personally I'd rather not see her in office. Thanks for the first review!
