Lots in the pipeline...

Posted by R1665 - November 2nd, 2011

Well, now... HERE'S a problem I've never had before... CE-RAP and I have so much in the pipeline that I don't know which part I should focus on for these updates. Seriously.

Now, I know that a few people have probably tuned out. They may be thinking, "well, R1 finally got VGE3 out, so I guess I won't need to check back in for another year..."

They're gonna be missing out.

VG Exiles 3.5 will be the next release, and it will solidify the direction this series is taking from an artistic and storytelling standpoint. It will be more than a simple transition between VGE3 and VGE4. I know it may not be too terribly evident YET, but the events you have witnessed in the series so far are just the tip of the iceberg. This thing goes so deep that we will not be able to cover it in the main episodes. Not even close. Hell, we probably won't be able to cover it all in the "point fives" either.

...but we WILL cover it. I can't say how just yet, but Rap and I are going to expand into mediums further than our humble Newgrounds pages. We will create a centralized source for all things related to the series, specifically those things we cannot do here on NG. More info on that later...

Anyway, while Rap has been diligently storyboarding, planning, and organizing the monster that will become VGE3.5, I have been slowly but surely building the fight scene of VGE4. I'd say that I am about a third of the way through this showdown and you guys WILL NOT BELIEVE what vicious fun I have in store for you!

I'll be the first to admit that my sprite fighting skills made no massive leap between the choreography of VGE2 and VGE3. The major evolutionary leap of VGE3 came from the art, not the fight. It would seem now that the challenge is upon me to up the ante and take my fights to a whole new level to match the quality of the art and story. VGE4 will do just that. It will be the first visible step of MY OWN skill advancement.

What will that advancement look like? You'll just have to wait and see...

---I'm in a hostile environment. I'm totally unprepared. And I'm surrounded by a bunch of guys who probably want to kick my ass...

...it's like being back in High School!

This idea of .5's in a sprite flash series, is seriously friggen genius. I don't ever recall something like this ever being done in a sprite flash series, ever. I love this idea because the way I look at it, you're taking something that is familiar to everyone, and turning it into something new, something that I haven't seen before from sprite animators. While some people might not like it, I actually love seeing new and innovative things being done.

R1665 2011-11-02 13:54:33

It's been done before, but not to the level that we're going to take it.

The part that got me most intrigued was the one referring to "a centralized source", where you'll materialize new contents for your animations. I'm sure you will think of something that'll emphazise the depth and work dedicated to this series. Altough you said more info would come later, I'll boldly ask for a..hint of things to come?
I cannot stress how anxious I am to see your new acquired skills! You referred that the content of the fight in VGE3 was, by the time the episode got out, outdated and you had already developed new ways to pave an even more fantastic and entartaining fights. Well, not exactly by those words, but certaintly by those intentions, I believe.

I wish you both a good work. When VGE4 will come out, if it is your pleasure I'll be sure to write my review, tackling how did you fare against that challenge you proposed to yourself.
Until then.

Hints? I leave tons of hints. They just aren't always immediately obvious...

do you think the first mortal kombat movie gets a bad rap?

R1665 2011-11-03 13:49:54

I don't know anybody who seriously digs on the first Mortal Kombat. It was a great movie, and not just compared to the low bars set for game-to-film adaptations.

Now, Mortal Kombat Annihilation? THAT was a steaming pile. (Except for Sandra Hess fighting in mud. That part was nice...)

This was the best fight in the movie.

Mini-Dude 2011-11-26 19:39:11

Will there be fights in the .5 episodes as well or just more in-depth story?

R1665 2011-11-26 19:39:11

More in-depth story. That's not to say that the point fives won't have action as a rule. It's just that the full-length sprite fights will be exclusive to the main episodes.

I have received multiple inquiries about the lateness of this month's update. That's being worked on. I'll update soon enough.
