You really go all out even at the planning stage! Personally no problems with there being a calmer/more expansive segment for the latter half, though especially when it starts with a more intense scene I suppose a lot of people might be, would've been ideal maybe with a calm start and all the more action towards the end...

But anyway, as long as it's well-paced and intriguing... should be good.

Potential typo in post title btw, if Palnning isn't maybe planning in Polish. ;)

@Cyberdevil, @Animetion24, @ChordC, @MariogD, @SayMeBott... I got a suspicious PM with a suspicious link - ATTENTION!!! Do not click as you got one!!!
Looks like a fraud / burglary attempt! From the user who just created an account on NG!

Regarding that PM: https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1467601

Seems pretty much every active user's been getting these at this point. :)

Indeed it is a scam, best ignore it/report it.

Good to know. :) Of course, no need to change anything, just noting.

Sounds probable regarding the malware too, possibly some kind of phishing attempt on NG credentials... part of me really wanted to click the link and at least see what they were trying to do, but even with firewalls and all it's not worth the risk. :P Y'never know...

It certainly looks to be a very detailed outline. More detailed than I usually do for my stories. Usually I do bulletpoints of laconic, paragraph descriptions. These are naturally tougher to put together than with an outline, but I often found myself troubled by writing the proper dialogue and prose if I do it on the edge of my chair, so I do it in front and save transitions for when I get to them in-depth.

Of course I am not claiming myself to be an exceptional writer, and I'm super open to writing in different styles. I look forward to how the spreadsheet will help us progress. :)

With the locked scene selection line, I think "Available in Part II" will do. Viewers will arrive to this animation many times after Part II comes, so a "Coming soon" or a "To be seen in" will eventually become archaic and require an update. Available does what those phrases do, and stays relevant afterwards, so I think that's a big plus.

Now for the Pass of Time description:
"Welcome one and all!

Today we present to you the first and final tie-in to Chapter II of Reduce!

This interquel takes us into the immediate aftermath of the second ambush that forcibly separated our heroes. While the team of Mejson, MariogD, Candy, Candy's Ant, and Delsin flee deeper into the grass forest and find themselves before a door, the splinter faction of Keni, Zip, and Mazurek retreat to the old fortress. But the Ant Zombies aren't too keen on letting them get away so easily...

How will this trio survive with their numbers significantly diminished? Will they even manage to stay a trio with their misfit personalities? What actions might they take now that their leader is no longer with them? Tune in and see for yourself!

NOTE! - "Reduce II - Pass of Time" is a very large project, and it may take a while to load (There will be a white screen during loading).

'Postęp:' tell me @Mejson, wtf mean JUST 'OK'? :D

ChordC 2021-04-08 01:31:25

@Mejson Thank you for the heads up, it is indeed a scam.

Anyway, wow, you got all of the plans/script pretty well, that is a lot of dedication you have :). Though of course, I don’t understand what any of them mean XD

Mejson 2021-04-08 06:01:04

@Cyberdevil, @Animetion24, @ChordC, @MariogD, @SayMeBott, mates, I updated EXE file :P You can see :) It's dark image now :)

It works / will work as follows:

1. When 'Part II' doesn't exist yet:
- when you hover over the miniature, the following text appears (on it): "Available in Part II"

2. When 'Part II' exists / will be added to NG:
- when you hover over the miniature, the following text appears (on it): "Available in Part II"
- below as in the case of the thumbnail 'Reduce 2 - Part I / Part II: "* Warning! - The new card will be opened and music will be stopped.", because it will be possible to click - it will take you to R2: Pass of Time - Part II (on NG website).

What do you think?

Cyberdevil 2021-04-08 07:07:38

So the pt1 file will be updated after part II is released, with the new text? Sounds good, and looks good like it is so far. A little toned down color for the thumbnails too, nice detail.

Cyberdevil 2021-04-08 11:22:01

Thanks for that @Animetion24 ! :) Nice.
