Twisted4000's News

Posted by Twisted4000 - December 2nd, 2012


So me and a bunch of other dudes got invited into the Flash Advent Calender 2012 hosted by PuffBallsUnited.

Basically, we each made a little Flash cartoon that will play depending on which object you press on the screen. Every object on the screen has a number next to it. The number represents the day this December the video for that object will unlock. So let's say it was December 8th. That means that object 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will all be able to be played that day. Sorry for such a dumbed-down explanation, but I'm getting pretty tired of seeing all these people giving it a low review because they think "the links are broken". Well, they're not broken... just locked for now.

You can play it here. There's 23 total cartoons, so there will be a new video unlocked each day until Christmas Eve.

What's funny is that my submission to it was marked for December 1st. You can also watch it here, on YouTube. Saminat and I did the voices. Saminat's funny. He's cool.

So a a big thank you to PuffBallsUnited and TomFulp for inviting me in this and giving me this opportunity to work with some pretty cool guys, and a Merry Christmas to you all!

Oh and I'm working still working on a bunch of projects. And art. And voice things.

k bye

Happy Halloween, peeps

More filler content from yours truly

So anyway, now I'm working on a series I wanted to do for a while, I'll have a preview of it up when I get enough progress on it. I'm also doing some designing and stuff for the game I wanted to make, which I've been mentioning for like half a year now.

yea

Right so there's a series I wanted to start for a while, but so far couldn't because I'm still waiting to gather some audio for it, so instead I just made this anime-mocking type thing to hold some things over. Practicing some new techniques and drawing overall, of course.

There's a game I wanted to make for a few months as well but it's gonna be a while before I get to work on that, if ever.

Also I might make another quick animation thing soon if I still don't get the audio, plus it's all practice in the end anyway so. Yeah enjoy.

Oh yeah one more thing, if you ever wanted to get a camera movement effect but didn't want to use a v-cam or anything, well I have this tutorial on that, it's basically about moving the camera with graphics, directly in and solely with Flash, and you can watch it on YouTube here.

This took half my life but I hope you like it.

Also I have ideas for a game I want to make and a series sometime, but who knows, we get there when we get there. For now I just need to practice getting better at drawing in general before I start another big project so.

Edit: Also, have a free voice demo! I just treated up my closet so I decided to test out my mic in it so yeah here. http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/501281?up dated=1

Sooo this took me like forever, and I want to finish the movie within like a month or so, but for now here's a trailer. The audio and video quality are just dreadful thanks to all that converting and rendering I had to do, but nonetheless, here it is.

The music you hear in the trailer is "DenX - Lurking" by lhceist41. I'm going to be using a bunch of this user's tracks, they're pretty amazing...

So after a grueling two months, I finished that retarded video I over-hyped. You can watch it here. Or you can watch it on YouTube.

I really don't know what I was thinking when I made this, but I just did. Thanks to RicePirate and SirUndead for lending me their awesome voices, and Spazkid for the preloader art.

Enjoy :I

Soooo here's a trailer I put together last night for the cartoon I've been working on for over a month now. It'll be a few weeks 'till it's finished though, so you'll have to wait a bit...

The first music track you hear in the trailer is "Derelict Trailer", which you can listen to here, and the second one is the "Epic Trailer Music" by Oney, which you can listen to here.

Alright, so, here's some updates, in case you were wondering.

The animation I'm working on, StarNova, is going pretty well. Progress is moving faster than it was for the past few weeks, mostly because my computer was dead and I had to use my brother's whenever he was out for work. But a big thanks to him for letting me use it nonetheless, otherwise nothing would've gotten done whatsoever.

Now that my PC is up and running again, it's coming along. For some bad news I have, I'm sorta scrapping the game I was making for a few months now, progress was just too slow, I'm working on too many projects, but, most importantly, it wasn't very fun. It worked, you could attack monsters, they attacked you, they respawned fine, but it was just too sloppy and pretty glitchy. HOWEVER, I do plan on making another game once I have a couple of other cartoons out (part 1 to Desca being one of them), and I'll make it more simple, that way... I'll actually be able to finish it. Just sorta planning a side-scroller with a couple of playable characters, unique voices will be needed for each. But that's a while from now.

So uh yeah. Just got RicePirate's voice in for StarNova a few days back, turned out awesome. He did some improvising to some of his lines, it was pretty amazing.

Anyway... that's all for now. Have a screenshot:

Some More Updates

...Is taking forever to finish...

Just a cartoon I'm making about these two girl people who defend this store from this other guy who's apparently trying to kill them or something. SirUndead and I voice the two characters. It's pretty neat.

It's just taking so long, it's ridiculous, I see all these other animators constantly surpassing me and releasing something like once every 1-2 weeks AND with decent quality, I mean they literally get like 5 videos out before I get one, ha.

Ah well.

In the mean time, there's also Desca, which I told you all about, and that's going alright, but the reason why I just randomly started making StarNova is because I'm trying to get something out there so I have something for people to watch for a while, because... well, Desca is going to take another few months even if I work 24/7 on it. I don't want to wait that long... let's face it, publishing work is fun, right?

I want to add shadows to the characters and stuff, but it's already taking an over-amount of time, but then again quality-over-quantity... who knows what I'll end up doing.

And to be honest I guess this is my best animation in a cartoon so far, but realistically I kinda doubt it will really do any good, but again, we'll see...

Oh by the way, Mr. Tom Flups, it's not going to have any references or memes in it, so I'm going to assume you're not going to get it front-paged when it comes out... just kidding.

But seriously it's not going to have any references or memes. I'm really just done with those... I can't stand seeing them in cartoons anymore, it's just an easy pass to the views and ad revenue.

ANYWAY, I am done with this post, I think.

StarNova...

Hello, it's Twisted4000 once again, well for some reasons and things I don't feel like going into right now, I needed to make a new YouTube channel. Previously, my channel was "Twisted4000", but now, if you are subscribed or planned on subscribing... it's "Twisted4kStudios". Click http://youtube.com/user/twisted4kstudios to go to the channel.

In other news, working on the new series, Desca. It's going alright, practically all the voices are in now (just missing one more person, RICEPIRATE!!). But yeah. I have other short animations planned as well, but it'll be a while before I can start on those, to be honest.

Take care.
