Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

However, the problem is due to quality, not a technical mistake. It seems to be taking a bit longer than anticipated for the original artwork to be completed. I can live with that setback, though. I'd rather have the work be a bit late and looking its best than on time and looking rushed.

I'm also having to re-record some of the voice work I did earlier. My previous recordings are not on par with the excellent lines that my voice actors submitted, quality-wise. Over the last weekend, I actually built a padded, fully-functional sound booth in my apartment and I hope to get some lines recorded very soon that sound on par with those of my outside contributors. Voice acting and the process of setting it up is relatively new to me, but I'm a VERY quick study.

Except for the art scene, the movie is pretty much done. Once I get that art in, it should only take me a couple of days to wrap this thing up. I'm afraid that I have to leave that deadine in the air, but you can rest assured that I will get VG Exiles Episode 2 out very soon.

In the meantime, enjoy the following screenshot...

i've been waiting for this movie for almost TWO MINUTES! hurry up and finish >.<

Jul. 7, 2009 | 1:21 AM burby8100 says:

take your time.

Jul. 7, 2009 | 1:29 AM Sunrie says:

Outstanding. At least it's done except for that. Those kinds of delays are the decent ones you can deal with.

Don't worry about the voice acting, I find that I do repeats very often until I'm satisfied.

Oh...I have those background pieces, too, including that torch, how funny.

Jul. 7, 2009 | 1:35 AM R1665 responds:

The problem was not line delivery. It was the quality of the recording. I'm currently figuring out the best way to go about it. (Distance from mic, recording levels, etc.) I don't want two interacting characters to sound like they aren't in the same room.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure you don't have the same grassy field. I had to "Frankenstein" that like crazy.

oh well. As long as it is good and worth the wait (and that is a given). So, good luck. Can't wait for it to come out.

Jul. 7, 2009 | 2:33 AM R1665 responds:

Oh, it'll be worth it.

Trust me.

GAMBIT!?!?! Sir, you have my attention.

Jul. 7, 2009 | 2:53 AM R1665 responds:

Would your attention be heightened by the fact that THIS version of Gambit is a criminally insane serial killer?

He's eighteen different kinds of nasty...

R1665

Jul. 7, 2009 | 10:11 AM kamaykazay says:

a WOLF AND GAMBIT?! sir you have my attention... unless the wolf just got hit... then you can shove it.

Jul. 7, 2009 | 1:09 PM R1665 responds:

It's a fight. They both get hit.

A lot.

R1665

Jul. 7, 2009 | 10:38 AM burby8100 says:

I notice something about how the way you have that story.you said in each universe there are different versions of them and I see that from somewhere before.You like that movie with jet li called the one?lol

Jul. 7, 2009 | 1:09 PM R1665 responds:

Never saw it.

R1665

Jul. 7, 2009 | 5:02 PM Mini-Dude says:

lol yea, this movie is A LOT Like the movie called The One.

I loved that movie, got it on DVD.

R1665, cant believe you havent seen it. Maybe you should head over to your closest movie store, this movie could REALLY inspire you!

Jul. 7, 2009 | 5:03 PM Mini-Dude says:

forgot to ask, which caharcter will YOU be voicing?

Jul. 7, 2009 | 11:43 PM SS4FlameAlchemist says:

I agree with the guys talking about the movie. The One with Jet Li. Seriously, it's pretty much the same thing except one guy goes and starts killing himself in other dimensions and gets stronger. Seriously, watch it. It will give you a ton of new ideas. If it doesn't, I will eat my own arm. So, yeah. CAN'T WAIT!!

Jul. 8, 2009 | 12:27 AM R1665 responds:

I know about the premise, I just haven't watched it. It kind of annoys me when people suggest that I got my ideas from it. That said, I'll probably never watch it.

My series is inspired by the Exiles comic book from Marvel Comics, not "The One".

R1665

Jul. 8, 2009 | 6:34 PM burby8100 says:

ok I'm not telling you to watch it to get ideas or anything I just saw some simliar things in the movie and what your doing.

Jul. 8, 2009 | 6:43 PM Mini-Dude says:

yes that would get very annoying, wouldnt it?

We all know how it feels when some chump thinks you ripped off some other fool's ideas.

Jul. 8, 2009 | 11:38 PM R1665 responds:

It's only annoying when it's not true.

Despite the different ways in which I used them, the basic ice clone stuff from Ep.1 was ripped off of Proxicide. I know this, everyone knows this. That's why it's not so annoying when people suggest that I "borrowed" some of his ideas - cuz' I did.

"The One" comparisons? VEEEERRRY annoying considering that movie didn't have jack to do with the inspiration for the VG Exiles.

I'm only bothered by accusations when they aren't true.

R1665

Jul. 9, 2009 | 12:04 AM ShinKuHadoken says:

good looking stage, I like nature ^^ I thought VGexiles ep.1 was truly great. The only reason I enjoyed it a little less then proxicide's work is because Im a SF3 player and love those 3 fighters taking on the world of MK. Also youre saying youve done significantly better then the last ep. on this one. Interesting ... a lot of suspense believe it.

Ryu was in that last pic. you posted but he seems to be only a spectator?!! when will we see you make magic with akuma or ryu..also will you use parrying in this ep. or do you perhaps plan to include it in your future eps?

peace

Jul. 9, 2009 | 12:35 AM R1665 responds:

I'm afraid that I can only give vague answers at this point. I don't want to give too much away.

You may see a few examples of parrying here and there, but it will not be a staple of the series. The only reason why it's not on my "cliches' to be avoided" list is because not enough people do them.

I'm afraid that I cannot answer the question regarding what further role alternate versions of Ryu will play in the VG Exiles. However, I believe that Episode 2 will definitely add some clarity to that issue...

R1665

Jul. 9, 2009 | 2:42 AM xheartxbreakxkid says:

man, you have some pretty bad luck with this episode
with all the voice acting, backgrounds, and quality issues
your background looks very original though,
and with the time that it's taking to complete this episode
it leaves me to wonder how awesome it will be
as always,
good luck

Jul. 9, 2009 | 4:25 AM R1665 responds:

All of my arenas since the third in Ep.0 have been 100% custom-built. Each one is unique.

R1665

Jul. 9, 2009 | 4:15 PM Mini-Dude says:

In further installations of VG Exiles, it would be pretty cool to see the fighters fighting in some waste deep water, as it's never been done in flash before...Or so I think ;)

You know, kind of like a jungle arena.................. I dunno. Just a suggestion =)

Jul. 9, 2009 | 11:21 PM R1665 responds:

Interesting idea, but I think the fighters would move a bit too slowly for my style.

R1665

Jul. 9, 2009 | 11:47 PM SS4FlameAlchemist says:

Well, Your backgrounds from what I could tell, look awesome. Now, you do you draw the thing yourself, or do you take pieces of other arenas? Just curious, because I take pieces and sometimes frakenstein them together. of course, the forest of Neo Fusion's first MK flash was done by me. Doesn't compare to your work, but I'm not the greatest artist in the world. so, yeah. Can't wait for this one. I'm surprised Marvel hasn't made a movie out of the Exiles yet, they have done just about everything else. Seriously. Anyway, off topic. Take your time. We waited all this time, and we can wait a little longer. So, yeah.

Jul. 10, 2009 | 12:12 AM R1665 responds:

My arenas are Frankensteined from several other arena elements. I also use images from the web (usually as distant backgrounds) and textures from PC games.

Part of the reason why I started this particular series in the first place was to get people interested in the Exiles comic book. I love that series and I'd hate to see it disappear.

R1665

Jul. 10, 2009 | 12:28 AM Mini-Dude says:

well, youve gotten me interested, but I cant seem to find any exiles comics anywhere.... :(

Jul. 10, 2009 | 12:30 AM R1665 responds:

No comic book shops near your area?

R1665

Jul. 10, 2009 | 1:52 AM burby8100 says:

I don't know if I ask you this question before but in your future videos will you have SNK charcters in it. It seems like nobody really puts them in there only for a short second or doesn't really do anything in there. I know trix had this for sean and akuma's flash back but you really did'nt see them fighting or doing something really different and i know that you can do somthing better with them. so that's why I'm asking you because your not putting ken and ryu as the heros all the time your useing certain characters that you normaly don't see in the leads.

Jul. 10, 2009 | 5:29 AM R1665 responds:

Actually, I do have some plans for SNK characters. I can't go into detail as to what those plans are exactly, but I do have some stuff in the mental pipeline.

R1665

Jul. 10, 2009 | 3:14 AM greyshadowskyknight says:

now that looks sharp, i cant wait to see how you make a darkstalkers character fight a top mutant like gambit.

Jul. 11, 2009 | 1:13 AM R1665 responds:

Hopefully, you won't have to wait very long.

R1665

Jul. 10, 2009 | 2:43 PM Mini-Dude says:

Yes, lots of coic stores, its the matter of what their selling.

Jul. 11, 2009 | 8:19 PM Mini-Dude says:

Well, today was your self-made date, I can see that you couldn't make it.... Too bad :(

Couple more days, eh? Oh well, the artwork is so worth it. It makes your vids more original. It also reminds me of what they did in Tekken 4 for the prologues and epilogues.

Jul. 11, 2009 | 9:07 PM SS4FlameAlchemist says:

That explains why your backgrounds look so awesome. i just use a lot of MUGEN elements in mine. definitely more awesome. so, yeah. I hope this is finished soon, I'm getting antsy.

Jul. 11, 2009 | 9:07 PM JTFoxx says:

I've been ready to see this flash for a while but take your time and submit it when you're comfortable. Also are people just not aware of the concept of the Exiles or they don't know it's a Marvel Comic? I think you did a good job trying to explain that in the last flash with the extra features but it seems people still don't pay attention. You still see comments like "Why does Sonya have Ice powers?". Again that has nothing to do with you but for some reason it bothers me when people just don't pay attention. Anyway keep up the good work.

Jul. 11, 2009 | 9:57 PM R1665 responds:

I have put a new section titled "The Multiverse Explained" in the extras section of Episode 2. It gives a full explanation of the basics as well as outlining how my system is different from that of the Marvel Comics Exiles. Hopefully, that will deter some of the unnecessary questions.

Production is pretty much at a standstill right now while I'm waiting on the art. There are a few tidbits here and there that I could work on, but nothing substantial remains for me to do on my own.

I'm really looking forward to releasing this thing. I'm simply not going to do so half-cocked.

R1665

Jul. 11, 2009 | 10:42 PM burby8100 says:

so what time will you take this cake out the oven man? Because I am hungry.lol

Jul. 11, 2009 | 10:43 PM burby8100 says:

give a date to live up to.

Jul. 12, 2009 | 3:02 AM R1665 responds:

I can't do that because the artwork is not under my direct control. I do check in regularly with my Art Director, though.

There are only a few necessary images still to be done.

R1665

Jul. 13, 2009 | 12:46 PM Greenbottle48 says:

I'm sorry but... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-DcNP FWhbk

"I'm so excited!"

I hope you don't mind my good humor, and speaking of the backgrounds I noticed you put SHODAN from System Shock 2 in the background for the 3rd round. It was really awesome to see that relic used.

Jul. 17, 2009 | 10:59 AM therb8 says:

love the screen shot
your work really inspires me :)
cnt wait to see it but plz dont do a trixy (yes thats what being really late is called now XD)

Jul. 17, 2009 | 1:30 PM R1665 responds:

It won't be really late. Just slightly late.

I hope to have the artwork by this weekend.

R1665

Jul. 17, 2009 | 2:27 PM Mini-Dude says:

Shouldn't a Trixy be leaving us hangfing in the middle of a battle?

Jul. 17, 2009 | 10:17 PM Sunrie says:

AH, I see about the grassy field. It's similar, but I can definitely see the differences.

Making backgrounds can be fun and frustrating at the same time. For Game Ranger 3, the BG where Ken crashes through the final wall took me 45minutes to finalize, and it's on screen all of about two seconds. The last BG was custom done, too, but not so much "Frankensteining" as it was pieced together easily because of how the textures were created.

I can't wait to see the final project.

Jul. 18, 2009 | 3:52 AM Trixiaoyu says:

Yes Mini-Dude, it's called a CLIFF HANGER! Ha!

Jul. 18, 2009 | 6:56 PM Mini-Dude says:

I know what a cliffhanger is, but there is a difference in a cliffhanger and what you do...

Cliffhanger: Leaves the story open for a sequel, possibly leaves hanging. BUILDS SUSPENSE

Trixy: Leaves the story for a sequel in 2 years.....NO SUSPENSE!!

Jul. 19, 2009 | 12:56 AM R1665 says:

FIGHT!

*Grabs handful of popcorn*

Jul. 19, 2009 | 3:52 AM Trixiaoyu says:

It's called a 2 year cliff hanger! Deal with it.

Jul. 19, 2009 | 8:16 AM Mini-Dude says:

but trix, dont you wanna finish the series...BEFORE YOU DIE? rofl

Jul. 19, 2009 | 11:58 PM Mini-Dude says:

but if its not done, why did you say:

"FIGHT!

*Grabs handful of popcorn*"

JUST TO MAKE US THINK UR DONE EVN THOUGH UR NOT SO THAT WE GET REALLY DESPERATE TO SEE IT!!!!

Jul. 20, 2009 | 12:31 AM R1665 responds:

I said that because I wanted to see you and Trix go at it.

It's fun!

R1665

Jul. 20, 2009 | 12:00 AM Mini-Dude says:

btw trix, nothing wrong with a 2 year long cliff-hanger.....EXCEPT THE TWO YEAR PART!

Jul. 20, 2009 | 2:08 PM Mini-Dude says:

we werent fighting, just arguing.

lol sorry trix ^_^

update on post
check it out if ya can

Jul. 22, 2009 | 9:44 AM therb8 says:

lol ive really brought up a massive arguement
soz trixy didnt mean it in a harsh way :)

Jul. 23, 2009 | 2:28 PM Mini-Dude says:

*sigh* now more then 10 days overdue...:(

Still waiting, every day. Keep it up, R1665!

By the way, the background is very unique, but is it really the right one for a battle were the 2 fighters will be trying to MURDER one another?? Looks pretty peaceful to me... Oh well...

As you said before, more then 1 bg in your fight, right? Can't wait to see the others!

Jul. 23, 2009 | 11:40 PM R1665 responds:

It'll be done soon enough. I'm basically just waiting on the art at this point and polishing up tidbits in the meantime.

Yes, the background is just right for two characters trying to kill each other. Trust me. You're just seeing one single frame here. The real thing is going to be one of the most savage and brutal sprite fights ever created.

You will shit a brick. Maybe two.

R1665

Jul. 23, 2009 | 2:30 PM Mini-Dude says:

Forgot to ask, for the 2nd time:

WHO WILL YOU BE VOICING???!!!!

Jul. 23, 2009 | 11:42 PM R1665 responds:

I'm afraid I can't reveal that.

What I will reveal is that I have recruited some amazing voice actors for this project. This is gonna be a job done right.

R1665

Jul. 24, 2009 | 10:11 AM Greenbottle48 says:

Maybe two...

Jul. 24, 2009 | 12:30 PM R1665 responds:

One guy I gave a preview to shit five. Maybe I shouldn't have shown it to him in my living room...

R1665

Jul. 24, 2009 | 10:33 AM Trixiaoyu says:

Haha, I actually find it rather ironic that the 'life-bars' are not the cause of this delay. I guess you should add the lifebars now I mean; you have nothing to lose!

Jul. 24, 2009 | 12:29 PM R1665 responds:

Nah. I don't see myself ever using lifebars again. I don't need them.

Besides, if somebody is paying attention to the lifebars, then they aren't paying attention to the action. Personally, I cannot focus on both at the same time.

R1665

Updated: Jul. 24, 2009, 12:43 PM

Jul. 24, 2009 | 9:47 PM SS4FlameAlchemist says:

I agree with you. Lifebars are just another limit. Once their health hits zero, it's game over. Without them, you can really go at it. And this sounds like you're pulling out all the stops. So, yeah.

Jul. 24, 2009 | 11:01 PM burby8100 says:

I never liked the lifebars as you said it's hard to watch them and the action. I feel lifebars are not need because your making a flash not game and how real is it when this guy does a 100 punch combo that should reduce your bar down to zero and this guy takes him out with only ten major hits. So no this is not a shot to trix or anybody else that uses them just I would'nt use them it's a waste of time to me.

Jul. 24, 2009 | 11:02 PM burby8100 says:

so how long will it be finish it's about to go into august in couple more days mkaing it a month over due.

Jul. 25, 2009 | 12:30 AM R1665 responds:

Yeah, I know it's overdue. There's just not much that I can do about it. All I can do is wait patiently for the art to be completed.

I will say that this unexpected delay allowed me the chance to recruit another voice actor. It fixed a problem I had with a character that I was having trouble getting a proper voice for. If nothing else, that development made the delay useful.

R1665

Jul. 25, 2009 | 12:43 AM Metalworks41190 says:

you probably wont see this question but did u change the color schemes of any other characters and what game is that guy with the light blue hair from

Jul. 25, 2009 | 12:57 AM R1665 responds:

Why wouldn't I see the question?

Yes, I changed the color schemes on several of the characters that you will see. It's hard to sell the idea of these being alternate realities if everything looks "normal".

I assume that the "guy with the light blue hair" that you are referring to is Remy. He was one of the new Street Fighter characters introduced in Street Fighter 3. I don't care much for the character, but his name gave me the chance for some excellent subterfuge!

R1665

Jul. 25, 2009 | 3:31 AM Ryukang says:

I have 2 questions that no one asked(at least i think no one did). Will there be any other mk characters other than sonya and johnny cage?

For question 2 in your first exiles in your character bios thingy u said that liu kang was a traitor or something does that mean he will ever show up in the series?

Jul. 25, 2009 | 5:26 AM R1665 responds:

Oh, what the hell... I guess I can let a few things out early regarding my plans considering that Episode 2 is 99.9999999% done (slight exaggeration...).

1. Yes. Another MK character will be headlining the fight in Episode 3. It will be another "MK vs. SF" fight. After that, I'm going to start focusing on characters from other games. Every battle in the multiverse can't be fought between 7695 and 6013.

I cannot reveal who the character is or how the character will be presented, but it will indeed be a Mortal Kombatant.

2. On Johnny's world, Liu Kang betrayed Earthrealm by siding with Shang Tsung during the Mortal Kombat tournament. Johnny later killed both of them. That version of Liu Kang was just one of a conceptually infinite number of Liu Kangs in the multiverse.

Liu Kang is a character that I can't form a strong opinion on regarding his usefulness to the Exiles storyline. I used to hate him because out of all of the MK characters, he was always the "Chosen One" and the others were just there for support. I hate that kind of "hero" treatment. I actually started liking the character a little after he died and was resurrected as a psychotic zombie.

On the plus side, he has a very good MK3 sprite set and is very rarely seen in the world of Flash fights. I could do a lot with him. However, the character is a bit too "A-list" and one-dimensional for my taste. I could make a good fight with him, but not much else. Liu Kang has very little personality for me to play around with.

Yeah, I can take a happy-go-lucky, comic relief movie star and turn him into a brooding, detached, cynical, uncaring asshole. It's that deviation that legitimizes the concept and makes it believable. There's not much I can do if the character in question has very little personality to begin with.

see that's what I really like about you R1665 you take the characters that most sprite artist won't use and make them into something else. I remember you said you won't make ken & ryu the main characters of your flashes not saying nothing is wrong with them. But as I said before I wanted to see alot more SNK characters because I believe they fit the personalty of cool people today... well atleast back inthe 90's. The one cool and about snk is that there are alot of characters to choice from to be the hero and to be the villian because they have so many series under snk it's a shame. so still good luck this weekend.

Jul. 25, 2009 | 11:39 AM ChrenKlen says:

i think the best thing about you as a flash artist is that you keep your many fans up to date. While for example Alvin earthworm practical disappeared before his latest installment.

Good Luck and give all the characters a personality that makes fans proud of you ^_^

Shhhhhhhh..... It'll be okay...... Just take a little nap.....

Okay, for everybody else who is still awake, I should have the visual portion of the art scene done tonight. After that, the rest is just sound work and basic actionscript.

It has taken me a couple of days longer than anticipated to do the visuals on the art scene. Like everything else in this flash, the quality has improved greatly since the last installment and good work takes time.

I think I can have this thing wrapped up in a couple of days. Suffice it to say, If I don't have this thing done by next Saturday, then there's a problem.

burby8100 just be patient man. R1665 is working as fast as he can. I'm sure he will get it up on NGs in no time. Just be cool and wait man. He's got the art and has almost finished. If there is one thing that I have learned about flash is that when you think you've finished, there will always be something else that has been left undone or can be tweaked a little. I know... it's annoying but it happens. So just chill. I'm definitely sure that R1665 will be done before the end of August. Then we can all mass-vote 5 stealing the award from somebody more deserving - lol! (Sprite-a-Rant).

Jul. 31, 2009 | 12:57 PM R1665 responds:

I'll be done before August 8th. That shouldn't be a problem.

Oh, and I am indeed working fast now. Alvin-Earthworm has mentioned that he thinks his next episode of SMBZ should be ready by mid to late August. I really don't feel like having to compete with him.

Alvin Earthworm is good, and famous for his movies, but once your movie gets around newgrounds, I'm preeeetttyyy sure you could be just as popular, if not more. August 8 sounds like a good deadline to me!

Man, I've been waiting for this movie since like early January...... It had better be good for taking this huge chunk from my life! lol ^_^ by the way, from now on at the end of my posts, I'll ALWAYS say:

And that's the way the cookie crumbles ~Mini Dude

If I ever become widely-known, it will probably not be the same kind of popularity that Alvin ...um... "enjoys".

We appeal to completely different demographics.

August 8th isn't a deadline. There is every possibility that I could finish this thing over the weekend. After I get it done, I will send a PM to Tom Fulp regarding the file size. Assuming he approves it, I'll release the movie around noon the following day (EST).

UPDATE:

The visual portion of the story scene is complete, as well as 90% of the actionscripting. I need only dissect one more person's lines in Audacity - my own.

I will probably have this thing done by the time I go to bed tomorrow.

My apologies to everybody for taking so long to get the art done. But it is done and being worked into the final cut now. I can promise you this... YOU WILL ENJOY IT! ...unless you don't like gore... or lots of things blowing up... and stone cold stunners... yeh. Sorry, R1665, I'm justgetting a bit excited. And for god's sake! Scout my ass, dammit!

Aug. 3, 2009 | 5:37 AM R1665 responds:

I did scout you! It didn't seem to have any effect.

You should get some hits after the release, though.

So, yes... All of you fans, I'm the one to blame for the delays. But, before breaking out the torches and pitchforks, you'll have it soon enough and it WILL be worth it. I promise.

For those of you worried about the art scenes, I will say this: The sketchy look of the previous episode has been ousted. It didn't quite get the look I was hoping for. I was trying to go for 30 Days of Night and it became 30 Pixels of Fright... (30 pixels of-? Who the F^&*#@! Writes this S@#&!? Dude, you're fired! Union, my ASS! You're toast!)

Anyway, it's a much cleaner look. A Vast improvement.

Aug. 3, 2009 | 5:41 AM R1665 responds:

How soon will they have it? That depends on admin.

I'll put up a new news post tomorrow before work. Right now I'm more inclined to pass out on my couch.

I seem to remember saying that I wouldn't make a new news post until one certain condition was met...

R1665

Aug. 3, 2009 | 6:23 AM ChrenKlen says:

i think the one condition is 100 comments
