Greetings lads. I've been having a great time back from college, and I'm happy to report that Flash Juices are once again pumpin' through my veins. In about a week's time, I'll have to return for the Spring semester, but I thought I'd let you in on what's been on my mind, which includes a new project in-the-works.
First though, I want to thank Newgrounds for the overwhelming support of "Mario's Castle Calamity." To be quite honest, I think it has been excessively hyped and promoted - I never expected to get on the Frontpage, and I certainly didn't think that getting in the Top 50 for a couple days was a possibility (as it never should be with a sprite flash). Although, I have noticed that there are less sprite flashes pouring through the Portal these days. Maybe NG was just hungry for one? Either way, thanks again to all who watched it, especially the reviewers, who have left me some very kinds words over the past week :)
Onto the new flash. I should mention first that it will be a DRAWN flash. Spriting is a ton of fun, but I miss drawing my own characters - I miss the freedom! The premise is currently filled with holes, but I'll let you know what I have so far. The film will revolve around a hostage situation. The main character is an office worker who goes insane on account of him missing a few of his mundane office supplies (think Scotch tape, stapler, calculator, etc.). He takes four of his co-workers hostage because he suspects them of being the thieves. They are all freakin' out and trying to talk some sense into him, but he stands by his stubborn and ludicrous disposition.
My real problem with the flash is that I'm unsure whether to make it a comedy or a tragedy. Perhaps it'll be a bit of both, but I'm really in the mood to make some creepyass film. If you'd like, feel free to post a comment voicing your opinion. I'll be sure to take it into consideration.
Like I mentioned, I will be going back to college on the 18th, making it very challenging for me to speculate on a release date. It depends on how much work I can get done while I'm away from home, and until I can get some real footing, I'll continue sketching things out and planning out how to execute this flash.
Cheers, mates!
