One last flash and I'm done

Posted by 321 May. 8, 2008 @ 4:01 AM EDT

I've been doing a lot of thinking and I came to a conclusion. I am wasting my time submitting shit here. Almost everything I make is in direct conflict with what these people want. I do not think video game parodies are funny anymore, I don't own a video camera, and I don't draw naked chicks getting off (want porn? use google). So I thought hey I'll make games, but wait... either they are too hard or too easy, they don't star Mario or Sonic... See where I'm going here? I seem to have nothing in common with most of the flash viewing people here... I don't like beating my head against a wall.. so why continue?

Once tomy is done "cleaning up" The Voting Karma game.. I'll submit it, then I'm done... submitting here... but not with flash, cuz flash rocks.

Note: Retarded Comments Will Be Deleted.. I had to put up with that shit from reviewers but I don't here...thx

To be honest most of your flashes seem to be SS dailies or bashing other authors

Make a series or something, that kind of original content gets noticed round here B^)

Only well know person I messed with was ILLWill, but that was more of a foamy joke then a direct attack, and it's funny. Are you talking about that how to make a madness knock off? It was not attacking the originator of madness, rather all the copycats. That My NG thing is pretty stupid but it's true... Take a closer look..

Games aren't always considered too hard or too easy.
Not every successful Flash is a sprite movie.
Not every Weekly User's Choice on this site is a load of pornography.

In fact, most aren't.

good for us :/

can't you try to make a serious short BY JESUS CHRIST???

May. 8, 2008 | 4:34 PM 321 responds:

wait... huh? You want a Christ themed serious short?

Thing is, most of the things that get such high scores and monthly winners are either done by the few people that rank at the top of the portal (The Swain, Allen Awesome, etc.) or one of the people who work at Newgrounds. If you want to stand out, you either have to do something different (like MyNewgrounds) or something that's genuinely funny for everyone. Video game parodies are pretty annoying nowadays because not many people know how to make them properly.

May. 8, 2008 | 4:33 PM 321 responds:

I feel that even the ones that are made poorly do well, look at today's top flash... Yes, the voice acting was pretty good... but it wasn't that great.


May. 8, 2008 | 11:11 AM sherru says:

maybe if you wernt a KK, no one would hate u

May. 8, 2008 | 4:31 PM 321 responds:

What does that have to do with anything? Maybe if people would stop caring was my affiliations where and started paying more attention to the flash and not their bloody points, I wouldn't hate them.


May. 8, 2008 | 12:36 PM The-EXP says:

This is surely trolling, but, I'll bite.
Maybe if you tried something other than Star Collabs/pointless subs then people would appreciate it more.
Spend some time on a serious game with tonnes of effort in and you'll be better rewarded

May. 8, 2008 | 4:28 PM 321 responds:

How is this trolling? Just because I have a total of 5 Star related flashes, all my stuff is un-serious?


May. 8, 2008 | 1:02 PM RSQViper says:

Hey, I tend to agree with your thoughts on this. I've been a little lucky here but still have issues with how people vote/view things here.

I mean, if you have either awesome graphics or you make a shitty Video Game knock-off with horrible "random" humor you do well. I've never been a huge fan and it's rarely done well. I also will never be an award-winning artist.

So, I see where you're coming from and your state of mind is somewhat why I haven't released anything since November.

May. 8, 2008 | 4:41 PM 321 responds:

I took a look at your work... You're pretty damn good.... I like you...


May. 8, 2008 | 2:10 PM rune-hunter says:

You make flash about kitty krew so it is probabley bad.

May. 8, 2008 | 4:38 PM 321 responds:

You're from Holland so you're probably a Pot-head... Is that fair?


May. 8, 2008 | 3:18 PM 50vmp says:

lmao "oh wahh I don't get recognition for my brilliance"
you'll come back they always come back.

May. 8, 2008 | 4:35 PM 321 responds:

sQueef seriously man....


May. 8, 2008 | 4:07 PM eragonlovermax says:

y'know, I was just scrolling through your flashes, and I found something out.... YOUR A KK WHORE!!! As soon as I see something about the KK then it automatically makes me hate them. Its not that they trick people, its that they do it so fucking muuch it gets to the point where you literally wanna fucking kill them. They don't even put effort into it. They just throw some shit together its boring. So yay your out of here, maybe, like sherru said, if you weren't KK we wouldn't hate you. Get the fuck outta here KK WHORE. (I may have gone over the top with this, but KK fucks piss me off. And you, idiot, are a KK whore.)

May. 8, 2008 | 4:37 PM 321 responds:

I seriously think you need help... I may be too emo, but you have anger issues you may want to work on.... Do you see how crazy you sound? That really is a form of bigotry...


May. 8, 2008 | 5:19 PM WHEEEEEEEEE123 says:

Don't quit dude. The voice of the people has been silenced for too long. I for one actually like your flashes. To many people quit on their flash. Please don't join them.


May. 8, 2008 | 5:32 PM shadowchaotailsevil3 says:

meh...you may have banned me from KK forums for no reason but Im still member of KK as far as BFK and me know

May. 8, 2008 | 7:40 PM 321 responds:

You were not banned, just not validated.. Don't take it personally.. k?

I'm sure there's a lot of guys who feel the same way as you do. But then there is a large number of the NG audience- possibly the majority - who love those kind of things.

The thing is Newgrounds doesnt owe any of us a living and if all you want is more views or higher scores then there is nothing to stop you playing the game. Spend a couple of weeks on a Mario Flash and you'll get your Top 50 placement.

Fortunately, not everyone is out for "fame" and it's commendable that you don't want to be a whore.

You said "everything I make is in direct conflict with what these people want".
What's wrong with that? You should only be making the kind of stuff that you yourself believe in.

"I seem to have nothing in common with most of the flash viewing people here."
I really can't see what's wrong with that? Surely that's a good thing!

I've seen Flashes of mine take a brutal down-scoring in my time and received reviews that ACTUALLY SAY, " I couldn't be bothered to watch the whole thing", but I couldn't give a shit- I'm still gonna do what I want to do.

A lot of people fall over themselves to be more mainstream but for what?
Praise and recognition for characters they didn't come up with?

Personally, I like a bit of conflict.
IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE!

May. 8, 2008 | 7:51 PM 321 responds:

First, I got to say you do good work... Second, I don't believe NG should be paying me anything... This was a hobby of mine. I'm nowhere near the skill level to do this professionally... but if you look at most flash based ads, they are not that difficult.. I could do those ;) Anyway I'm glad you looked at what I had to say with an open mind.. Thanks.. keep up the good work..


May. 8, 2008 | 10:57 PM gothkyd says:

I feel the same way too sometimes, I refuse to resort to video game parodies or lame penis jokes to get more viewers. I know it sucks sometimes but i work hard on my series and even though it took over a year, it has become an official series on the site, the fan base isn't huge and there are always at least a few haters but that's no surprize. It might feel like you're not getting the response you want but you got to remember why you make flash in the first place, I do it for myself and the dedicated fans, and i'll keep going even if only one person wants me to, especially if that one person is me.

May. 8, 2008 | 11:22 PM 321 responds:

I took a look at your work and have to commend you on staying true to your ideals. You make excellent points, thanks for taking the time to comment.


May. 9, 2008 | 1:05 AM MysticShinHanKu says:

like others are saying...not all games are something to complain about and not all movies are vid game parodies or porn.

But I'll agree with you having one last submission and stopping...because...you are 30...... T_T

May. 9, 2008 | 1:38 AM 321 responds:

Tom's 30... Maybe he should shut down newgrounds?? Age is a number.


May. 9, 2008 | 2:13 AM TenSecondTom says:

well well.

May. 9, 2008 | 3:14 AM 321 responds:

Wow, he stopped playing GTA IV long enough to post. ;)

do what I did. Make cartoons for years and years and years and if you're REALLY LUCKY, you'll anger an admin, become friends with that admin, and then you'll g et more frontpage exposure and a nice niche audience.

You'll still be a horrible failure in real life, but online you'll be in your own special little world where people hang on your every word.

May. 9, 2008 | 3:22 AM 321 responds:

I thought I had it bad. You've got all those people constantly wanting to suck you off. I don't think I could handle that. This may sound like I'm trying to suck ya off, but it's true.. The biggest difference between us is you have more animating ability in your left pinky then I do in my entire body.
It could be worse, but I get what you're saying.
