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.

Nice to meet ya and welcome to the cc. Got any art or flash or whatever you can show us?

Clam's the head admin but we have several of them. Here's the list. Gimme your aim and I'll invite you to the chat so you can speak with the admins directly.

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

Welcome.

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.

Hi I'm new here too so yeah!

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 cc

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 lessons as well as this thread by Golden.

Enjoy your stay, and make us proud!

Thanks for the links to those helpful places. I have just PMed Golden about my problem so thanks again for those that helped with that. And more thanks to the more welcomes.

I should also be getting a name change fairly soon I hope. I've got one picked out now.

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.

but they are MEANT to be shit

Oh... so young.. so much to learn.
 
Don't feel bad. I was the same way.
 
How about Millionaire Clock? That would be awesome. The story possibilities would be fricking endless.

OH SHIT! We need a new reason why we don't like sprite movies.

Cuz they're gay. That's my reason.

They're all pretty much the same: "Hey i'm mario and I don't like sonic. I'm going to fight him now." FIGHT SCENE THE END
