Title: I'm Pixel Clock... And now I gotta change my name.
Post by: Tails Clock on August 13, 2010, 05:39:47 PM
Shortly after signing up I found out there was someone at newgrounds that had this name already. Before I go ahead a change it, are they a real clock that anyone remembers or just a coincidentally named person?

But enough about that. Hello! I've been browsing NG for years and have constantly been telling myself to make a great Flash. It never happens though. I thought that the 15th will finally be my day, but yet again I've managed to somehow spend a whole day doing nothing. Hopefully you guys can give me some advice on not screwing up the rest of the tiny amount of time I have left.

I don't even have a properly set-up NG account, but by the 15th I will. I really hope i don't dissapoint you all, or myself again. But you guys seem like the fun motivational sort, so everything's gonna be fine.

I really have no clue what I should be saying, so I've just been typing whatever I thought about. I guess I should list some interests. I like sprites... And, 2D stuff. Specifcally 2D games of all sorts. If I could code in AS at all my Clockday Flash would definitely be a game.

And for one final comment, who is the guy in charge here? Or rather, the nicest guy in charge. I have a minor issue I'd like to discuss about this forum.

Welcome,


I couldn't find the name pixel clock in the members list but judging by the fact that pixel clock actually did make flash http://pixelclock.newgrounds.com/flash/ I would  think that it's taken.

If you need help picking out a name use this list of recommended names http://www.clockcrew.cc/clockopedia/recommended_names

And this list of taken names

Hello and welcome to the clock crew.
I was going to type up a long response to your opening post but it seems Corpsegrinder covered pretty much everything. If you have any questions or need something while you're here, don't hesitate to ask. I'm always willing to help.

Thanks for the welcomes. I'd post some of my flash up, but I'd probably be banned purely on the quality of it alone. And about my name, would Pixelated Clock be allowed? Or is that still too similar to my current name?

Also, I can see why sprite flash would be shunned, because you're just taking a bunch of iamges and reusing them over and over. But, isn't Clock flash kinda the same? You have a single image of your clock object, and then put a single clock face image on it, and then just tween them around. Looking at a few clock movies, they look like they were made with less effort than quite a lot of sprite movies. That is the reason I won't try making my Clockday flash with sprites.

Well you are partly true

Many clock flashes are made entirely with flash avatars downloaded from the file library. Just like how people who make sprite movies use sprites they didn't make.

Welcome to the Clock Crew new guy! Hopefully you'll stick around and not be one of those people that sign up right as Clock Day is approaching, participate for a week, and then leave. As mentioned before, it would be nice to see some of your work and I can assure you that you won't be banned for posting it no matter how bad the quality is.

I would also just drop the whole pixelated idea as well as your original. If Pixel is already taken, then Pixelated would come off as being too similar. Besides, there are much better names out there for you to choose from! Take a look at the list posted earlier of suggested clock names and I'm sure you'll find one that you like. Also, if you're looking to get better with flash, I'd recommend checking out some of the Clock Crew Saturday School (http://www.livestream.com/theclockcrewssaturdayschool) lessons as well as this (http://www.clockcrew.cc/talk/showthread.php?t=93016&highlight=Flash+beginners) thread by Golden.

Enjoy your stay, and make us proud!

If you drew the sprites yourself you are generally ok, but if you use video game sprites, that's not ok.

And yeah, a lot of Clock movies are shit.

How about Millionaire Clock? That would be awesome. The story possibilities would be fricking endless.

Damn, I don't think I could beat t hat kind of quality. Awesome Flash!

But onto something more serious, I failed to make a good clockday flash. I got some throat infection thing and that's kinda been distracting me from working on Flash. Luckily, the Flash I will end up sbumitting will not be much worse than most on there right now. Thankyou everyone else who also failed to make a good movie for making me look less bad :)

Incase you cannot see what clocks are on the shirt in the corners, they are (starting with the to left and going right) Orange, Apple, Tails and... Raspberry I think.

EDIT: Wow, I managed to miss tonnes of posts on page 1. I did click the view last unread post button, but the site says I've read like every single new post all of a sudden. I don't know what's going on with that.

New replies yay! Yep, I'm the old one. And Golden has not messaged me back at all. I would simply give up on having an admin merge my accounts like Tree was meant to a year ago and just use this one, But I can't choose my proper name as it is already in use. And, I guess you guys are not going to give me back my clockhood easily. But so long as I can get my name back to "Tails" I'll work on getting the "Clock" back later.

PS: Thanks for not banning me so far. This is like a personal record for me being here so long. I guess I'm kinda cheating for not posting much though.
