Krinkels's News

Posted by Krinkels - June 17th, 2021


YO. Hello. I'm here to report progress on the next room of 9.5 part 2. This room needs a particularly high body count, the last room was a little too 1v1 for my liking and that stuff always drags (at least when I animate it). It's my goal to get through this room asap so I can get into the next one and do it again. There's been plenty of movement and... plot lookin things so far, so this act of the cartoon needs momentum and a volume of violence. Tired of the low body counts, maybe I'm getting old and I forgot what action even is...

(spoilers; don't get too accustomed to the look of that shotgun and pistol, there)

IN OTHER NEWS; I got some shit to figure out.


I had worked with Cethic over the last couple years to round out the sprite library I animate with, but in the blistering light of things that have surfaced from the past I've elected to have their work tossed and redone.


Here's a lil bit of what Fleet's been doing. They're not working to simply copy what Ceth had done but to alter and add some 'MPN' flavor to the design a little. This is an opportunity to make a slightly more distinct aesthetic.


edit; I may have to do these myself. I may be reaching out for assistance, or just making a thing of working on a handful of them at a time on twitch streams. Stay tuned; the show must go on, ect al.

Speaking of Project Nexus; man, some of these new maps are fun. How can I even say that after fucking with it for what, six years? Next update will feature yet another new Arena Mode map; The Facility. Here you'll face Nexus not as Hank and company, but as your Arena character and your supporting faction. You got this on your Steam Wishlist yet?

Thanks for stickin' around.

This one took far too long, but we piled up a bunch of bodies. (Not featured; the bodies that fell off the cliffs)

I've already gotten Cheshyre involved with the music production and Cturix is privvy to the latest renders, I will not have a repeat of last time where I held off on audio mixing until the last keyframe was laid down.

MC 9.5 part 2 in progress

Hey guys, very cool and important news today! I've plunged into the world of selling NFT art for bitcoins and am quickly on my way to becoming a real artist of the future! The first NFT art I've got up for auction is an ACTUAL SPRITE from a REAL MADNESS CARTOON (wow!) I'm excited and proud to offer such a thing as a means of giving back to the world that raised and accepted me into it. This transaction will allow you to own a piece of actual cartoons on the internet! You can point your fingers and tell all your friends "you see that hand? I own that!" And what's even more exciting, if there are enough bidders, we can sort out a timeshare of the sprite (example; you'd own this particular sprite during May and October, having to rescind ownership via blood ritual twice a year)! Get to the bidding by clicking here now!

All these damn rooms, all these damn agents! Screenshot from Madness 9.5.2. Not a whole lot to report on the front of animation creation, fellas, except that it feels faster. Typically I worked on animations at home but as of late I been putting in the hours at the computer where I work on MPN, and what's a couple more hours at this station? It beats coming home and trying to fold animation into my home life routines, the rate I work doing that is very uneven.


Any rate, moving fast, lots of kills, not sure where this cartoon is going right now but I am certain about how it's going to end! I feel as though you do, too! It will be fun to have this actualize.

Thanks for readin'.

This year's gonna be a cool year. I don't really have a lot to say, not for secrecy's sake, but how many times can I say "I sure am working a lot" while keeping it interesting? Project Nexus's Arena Mode is turning into more fun than the campaign, MC9.5.2 is moving much quicker now that I got a handful of false starts out from under me, and I'm gonna draw more for my Etsy store;

Thanks for the support, homies. What kind of mountains will you be conquering in 2021?

Not much to report on, on the animation front. I am working on MC9.5 pt 2, and as I chewed into the animation I took a second to re-evaluate the 'arc' of it and wound up once again throwing out all my ideas and doing them again as I go, true to form.

Thanks for paying attention for so long, it means the world to me.


As for Project Nexus, well, you know I'm banging on that old drum of a project on the daily... If you haven't checked out the playable demo, go give the steam page a look!

MADNESS DAY 2020 has come and gone, and in it's wake we've seen a tremendous amount of animation, artwork, and music hit the portal. I'm floored by the turnout. Having seen Madness become somewhat tired over the last decade, I was excited to see that this whole year isn't just a shot in the arm to the fandom, it knocked the damn limb off! We've seem some of the best stuff come out of the fandom in the last week, not even speaking with hyperbole or exaggeration. That said deciding the winners for this Madness Day was a grueling affair the likes of which caused me legitimate psychic torment. I want to preface all this by saying I'm stunned by the participation and every single one of you deserves a goddamn medal.

Here we are, a month away from Madness Day 2020 here on Newgrounds! September 22nd will mark the 14th (!!!) Madness Day celebrated on this site, and every one of them has been a tremendous show of force by the community. What's been incredible is that the enthusiasm remains after all this time, and this year we're going to try upping the ante with a prize pool for top entries submitted for Madness Day this year!


Paypal allows for a pooling of cash from donations and we're going to feed that 100% back into prizes. No 'admin' costs or whatever cutting into that.

PAYPAL PRIZE POOL

We're counting submissions with 'madness day 2020' tag! The distribution of prize cash will be as follows:


EDIT; Incredible! The prize pool has pushed past 1200 dollars before we even got to September! I'm going to adjust these percentages.

EDIT v2 (9/4); DOUBLE INCREDIBLE. We're at $1661.90!!! I've readjusted the prizes to fit this enormous influx.

EDIT v3 (9/15); UPDATE; POOL ENDS MIDNIGHT OF MADNESS DAY. WE'VE ACCUMULATED SO MUCH DOSH THAT RUNNING IT PAST THAT SEEMS GRATUITOUS) Pool total $1,716.90


EDIT V5 (9/24): THIS MADNESS DAY WAS NOTHING SHORT OF MIND BLOWING. I was consistently amazed by how much you guys brought out your A game, my head is spinning. I have no idea how to pick the top entries this year, but I'm gonna do it. It's gonna feel like having 100 kids, and executing 90 of them in favor of your 'favorites'. It's gonna be brutal, but don't forget I love every last iota of energy spent towards the madness. POOL TOTAL $1816.90


Animation: 

1st - $400

2nd - $250

3rd - $150

4th - $100

5th - $65

6th - $50

7th - $35


Art:

1st - $200

2nd - $125

3rd - $100

4th - $75

5th - $25

6th - $25


Music:

1st - $100

2nd - $50

3rd - $25

4th - $25


total; 1800 (remainder under 25 to be thrown on the top of animation 1st place. further 25s will generate additional individual winners)


(Going to add more slots yet if more cash comes in, as well as an extra slot for the change. All this depends on the validity of the pledges.)


If we wind up pooling a huge amount of cash we'll squeeze in 4th and 5th places, and include entries for music, as well, by distributing the percentages downward a bit to include more people! I'm optimistic about how much we can raise for this!


I'll be adding to this pool myself, too. I've tossed in 200 bucks, and as I stream on twitch those donations will be put into the pool.


This is also a good time to announce I've put together an Etsy store! It's very small, right now. Only a tiny shred of my total body of artwork is worthy of prints and I've selected a few of them to sell. Right up until madness day, for every print I sell there I'll put six bucks into the prize pool!

MY LIL ETSY STORE!
