Krinkels's News

Posted by Krinkels - June 18th, 2020


Hey there guys, how's it going? I hope your projects are doing well and making progress, I'm hype for the upcoming Madness Day (September 22) this year because it's going to be yet another time when ya'll knock it out of the park, and I can't wait to see it. This time around I should have a cartoon ready for your consumption, part one of Madness 9.5. I just crested 4k frames so it's not insubstantial, but it's my goal to get as much of it done so we can have a decent enough first half of this one to chew on while I bang out the next.

Other stuff I have coming down the pipe:

TEAM FABULOUS 2 reanimated collab! I was lucky enough to get myself involved in this massive undertaking and have finished up my segment, it's going to be released July 6th, VERY SOON, VERY COOL.


Getting some prints for sale together, too. Some of the art I've been creating lately should make for a nice wallhanger if you're so inclined. Setting up an etsy shop for that before long. Also going to be ready and operating in July.


Keeping up with the twitch streaming! Just making art when I can and playing through games like Black Mesa or whatever flavor of the month horror game crosses my desk. Should be giggles!


PROJECT NEXUS Oh this big bastard of a project is finally starting to look like it's got some -real- legs under it. We're going to be issuing an opt-in beta for the story mode revamp soon. Opt in because it will be bereft of arena and playground and we wanted that option to still be available to you. There's been so many updates, tweaks and outright changes to the game that it feels less like a jank indie project and more of a sleek shooterbrawler. We're excited to get it into the testers hands, one step closer to 1.0 ever damn day. Your patience with us has been phenomenal.


Any rate, I don't have much to say other than I'm keeping busy, moving forward, and am in a cosntant state of awe that ya'll'd support me through this. We're gonna make it.

Things in the works, coming down the pipe;


(DONE) That short where the dude loses his face - effectively completed, waiting on some audio work to come back.


Madness Combat 9.5 - ~2k frames completed. Main focus of my time in flash is spent on this. This cartoon will be completed this year. Update; two minutes? wtf kinda clown shoes operation am I running here? Hustle, HUSTLE!


(DONE) Team Fabulous 2 Re-Animated - I'm a lucky guy in that I've gotten myself aboard the re-animated collab centered around kitty0607's Team Fabulous 2. The due date on that animation is May 14th and I'm on track to having that completed on time.


Madness: Project Nexus 2 - The coronavirus can't stop us. More and more of my time is spent testing things and working on post launch media, while he hacks away at the code and making the damn thing playable. It's a process, and we've gone far beyond the scope of simple indie game. Thanks for bearing with us, fellas and fellettes, you're amazing for sticking around.

Hey there, followers! I thought was it prudent to update you on the projects I have in the works, so you can sort of get a feel for what to expect from me in the coming months, but screw that I'm just going straight for the self promotional advert.


So listen, this whole lockdown is really straining the financial situation here at Team Madness, and in order to keep the lights on and bellies fed I've decided to start an onlyfans! Your typical onlyfans account caters to the 18 and up crowd, but considering it's me, I'm only going to let in those 29 and older (verified with an accompanying credit score of over 710). It'll help cultivate an environment of exclusivity and private access that will enrich value, synergy and Actionable Analytics. I know for a fact that this is the best use of my (and your) time! Thank you for your continued support through these challenging times. Click here to subscribe to my onlyfans!

well would you look at that. I remember registering this account from my work. I didn't have cable/dsl at the house at the time so I did all my internet nonsense from there. Hell, checking newgrounds was part of my routine after I clocked in, so naturally when the automated portal came about, along with account registration I had to jump on that. When the portal went from a small collection of cartoons to a constantly expanding culture of entertainment it was abso-fucking-lutely mind blowing. I don't even remember how I got my hands on a pirate copy of Flash 5, but I did, compelled to heave in contributions to something that entertained me so thoroughly. Thanks for having me, guys. Heres to another 20.

Just to field a a BIG question that I am getting; I am not working on mc12, I have to make .5 first, and progress is tough, but progress is good. Though I am going to sit in the camp of not showing anything til we're nearly there, so THANK YOU SO MUCH for bearing with me.


On the Project Nexus front, though, I made some wallpapers :v

And it's 100% thanks to every single one of you. Thanks for dropping by the stream as we got through as many of these as we could. I did my best to take in all the contributions posted, it's nothing short of amazing to see the scene going so strong for so long. Madness really never dies, does it? Before I really get into this I just want to say that if I miss mentioning your work here, or I don't review it, give me a shout! This is just me barking on my news post. We got pins to send to the top stuff.



ART

MD 2019 saw a tremendous amount of RAW SKILL come through, some of note:

Happy Madness Day - Deimos <-the oversized shades, what a punk.

Tricky Cover Alt<- back lit print that might be seen next pico day

A Really Red Day <- speaking of print, poster when?

Hooked <- Madness combat artistic staples are black, grey, and red all over. Unless?

Between Madness And Hope <- serious mood in this one

Check out ALL THE MADNESS DAY 2019 ART (DO IT) HERE.



AUDIO

It goes without saying (but here I go anyways) that madness wouldn't be much without a kick ass soundtrack. Fan works have done a fantastic job of not only capturing the tone that helps facilitate meaningless slaughter, but transform out and set new standards for grey grunt related catastrophes and violence.

CRY.NN - Ultraviolence (MD2019) <- HNNNG

Singularity: Observation (Soundtrack) <- Nothing short of upbeat, high energy power here.

Tonight We Riot <- Take one part Chesh, and one part Lich, and you get this.

Underwater Sky (2009 Track) <- RF literally can do no wrong.

I can't review music because i am a PHILISTINE, so for the love of art and music FOR THE LOVE OF ART AND MUSIC GO CHECK THEM OUT.


ANIMATIONS

Can we talk for a second about how goddamn good you guys are at this whole 'animating' thing?

Madness Whitehank Zero: The Mulligan Literally 40 minutes of animation so damn good it raises the bar on what is expected of all of us. An amazing piece of work that is a must-watch.


MAXIFICATION 2: COMMENCEMENT Jsoull sure did the trailer right because I know I'm not alone here on the whole 'edge of our seat' thing. Some very awesome looking artistic decisions here with character movement, use of 3d and effects. It's going to be goddamn cool.


Abnormis: DEPARTURE HOW COULD I FORGET???? (because I'm OLd?) It's not easy to have a distinctive style when working in the realm of fan animation, but Zapchon does it so well he makes it look easy. This is a MUST SEE.


Madness Brutality Collab I understand that this cartoon had some difficulty even existing, and despite all that it still came out well Good job to everyone involved, great stuff!


Madness GOTO Heaven Sometimes it can be a challenge to kinda 'get' where a collab is going or what it's trying to do (aside from demonstrate skill in a showcase of spectacle). This monumental slab of team work is a lot of content but doesn't feel it's length. One of the more charming endings i've seen on a fan toon, as well.


Kilroy Madness 3 Might could very well be my fav of the year (but playing favorites is HARD). This animation conveys the characters intents/thoughts/feelings without words so effectively, it really is a thing of beauty. If you haven't checked out the Kilroy series yet (shame on you) then go back and check it out.


Madness: New York Minute Any cartoon that takes the tone and atmosphere into it's own hands so aptly always gets a rise out of me. It's an example of the kind of work that keeps things fresh and interesting (also features cheekibreeki)


Singularity: Observation A very fast paced cartoon that doesn't lose any of the choreographic 'flair' for the speed. Front to back this one is loaded with an outright slick sense of deliberate motion. Also some of these settings are cool as hell, and that is so important to the over all feel.



GAMES

We got two games this year, and at first glance you might think that's hardly any at all! A second glance however, shows that this year games came in quality, not quantity. For DEMOS, these are sharp and promising

Madness: Sierra Nevada Rebirth v1.0.1 - you guys watched me chew though this one, or at least half of it. Very challenging also FUN.


Madness: Incident 10v3 DEMO - <3 it's perfect <3
