teach me how to flash

[Paranoid]

I wanna make a short walk around mini game like in Seer: Descend. All I need is a map with multiple rooms, a player, inspecting, and some NPC's you can talk to. Can someone tell me how to do this?

I know absolutely nothing about how to achieve that, but I do know that Gankro is the guy who programmed that, and all the other interactive flashes for MSPA. If you want to make it play exactly like Seer: Descend, ask him if he's not too busy. There are better programmers, but he'll know exactly what you want right away. He also programmed four other games that are on that profile, if that's worth anything to you.

highly recommend baby-steps.
tackle something too big and it's going to overwhelm you. make a stick figure kick another stick figure in the dick and move up from there.

this is literally one of the first things I ever animated.

Based on your "skills" you have right now, you should not try this. Make some animations that aren't poorly drawn, 2 second loops first.

I'd be surprised if that wasn't where the majority of us started.

nobody wants to animate a ball bouncing when they can orchestrate groin attack footage, and the satisfaction from a success in that area is what carries you through every subsequent animation.

I give a shit about quality, so I'ma ask the Gankro dude.

Seriously?

You're like a kid who just got his first guitar and says 'I wanna play Yngwie.."

Take smaller steps. Everyone here can teach you something.. but you need to be willing to listen.

But this game... I'm not making it for people to play, I'm not making it to be accepted on newgrounds. I'm just making it to show off to my friends that I can make a game. The thing is I can't. If I wanted a game to be accepted and voted highly, I would care about quality. But I'm just going to make some pixel sprites and have them walk around.

Just give up on him, guys. He doesn't want to be better, he's just going to keep making excuses.

Oh.. ok. That makes perfect sense then.

[Paranoid]

This. Isn't. A. Real. Project. No one will ever see it.

[pop-tart]

Not the point. You came in here asking for help. You don't actually want to learn anything.


Do it the lazy way then. Go to a site like flashkit... download a tutorial sample FLA and alter it to make it look like your own movie/game

[Paranoid]

I want the programming help, it's the art I don't care about the quality of.

Oh, now that you can make flash, I'm pretty sure it's time for a probie death match.

I know. I'm working on that.

First thing I animated was a lil fella eating his own shit.

Excuses.

my first animation involved a stick figure selling his own urine as lemonade, and getting punched to death by the first customer.  I was proud of how the liquid level rose in the pitcher as he peed into it.

My first animation was a cat puking then putting a clock on the puke. It was really bad.
