Celx-Requin's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Roach Race]

Pretty cool...

Hello,

That was an interesting premise for a game,
not too much to do though.

Still you did a fairly good job with the actionscript,
it kind of feels like a bastard version of the virtual horse races machines.

Good job on the drawings too, could do a bit better on the sound though.
Kudos on the interface, as well as making it bilingual.

Muchas gracias,
- Senior Celx

thanks, i got the idea from the virtual horse races machine on GTA SA. i know its kinda boring after the 3rd bet.
for the sounds i dont kno WTF is wrong but every wav mp3 or any audio file gets F#@&ed up when i import them.

Normally I hate this stuff...

However you really presented a unique way about presenting your artwork,
It was fluid, and unique... Instead of a generic slideshow.

That said it really just was still pictures, that were tweened, more of a fancy extra than an actual film.

But that was pretty cool, and was superior compared to other "portfolio's" I've seen.

So I gave you a 4/5 because I was feeling generous, any other time I would have given you a 3/5.

Very nice art though, were you self taught?

Sincerely,
- Celx

Thanx for the review matey, wel yeah more or less self taught, the moment i started learning to draw was when i bought my first sketchbook, recomended to me by a book called gesture drawing for animation by walk stanchfield (not sure if it gor published or not but i manged to find a copy lol), walt was also the origin/inspirtation of the drawn to life series which just completly rocks =)

And yes i didn't want my sketchbook to looke the same as others and though id give some funky motion graphics a try =) why not eh

thanx again
