R2 - Pass of Time (Credits)

Posted by Mejson - December 26th, 2020

Welcome everyone!


How are you? Do you have a nice Christmas? Yes? So it's a good time to disturb your quiet time a bit XD Hehehe, because it's best time for a new Poster!


Before you - Credits (I know it's a bit weird XD), i.e. summarizing / extracting and listing the elements used and the role of the (team) in the entire animation.


Ok, I think I will divide the information into two sections to avoid confusion... First - I will introduce what is included / added. Second - I will ask you to check the individual elements (I am not sure if they are correct).


First (added / done):

  • playing music created by @ChordC,
  • centered end credits (flowing from bottom to top),
  • appearing (alternately - once on the right and once on the left) characters with their texts (to the viewer), which will be 10, currently there are 4 due to armors not ready (they will appear later in the animation),
  • standard photos (flowing from bottom to top) of dead characters (on a black background) with sad music (Broken Hearts - Michael Ortega),
  • thanks (to the viewer) and info.


Second (check / verification):

  • do we need any additional sounds, @ChordC (when big white texts appears)?
  • are the characters' texts correct?: "K: What you looking at?!", "M: Don't you have any nails?", "Z: Don't you need my help?", "R: Stunned by my coolness?",
  • should we provide information with @ChordC songs - which scene was it used for? For example: "Over your Shoulder - ChordC (for Scene 1)", "Little Fighters - ChordC (for Credits)",
  • should music (Broken Hearts - Michael Ortega) for photos also be made by @ChordC? @ChordC, would you like to make such sad music for this?
  • what should the informative text about the ending of the second part of this saga sound like? Something like: "End of Reduce 2 Movie" or maybe a longer one?


NOTE: To see the credits, start the animation ("Play"), then click on "Gear" and select "Scene". Then click the scene selection icon and select the last scene ("12"). Credits will show / start after a while.


What do you think about it, @Cyberdevil@Animetion24@ChordC@MariogD@SayMeBott@Mazurek and Rashty92? I updated both the swf in the project and the exe file, so feel free to watch and opinion :)


Regards,

Mejson

1. At what segment does the big white text show up? and what does it say?
2. I think the text should be: "K: What are you looking at?!", "Z: Need a hand?"
3. I can make sad music for the segment
4. Ending text card should be: "End of Chapter 2", but I think this is not a chapter, right? in that case, "End of Reduce 2", should be enough.

1. Apparently I did not explain enough in detail :) I mean: "To be continued...", "Thank you for watching". In Reduce 2 - Part II there were flashes and lightning strikes.

2. K: What you looking at ?! (we already used in the previous section) - is correct, as what an intentional rude / malicious term. Z: Don't you need my help? - It's about medical help, I don't know... what do others think? (@Cyberdevil and @Animetion24).

3. OK, cool! I can't wait! :)

4. "End of Reduce 2" - first line, second line - "See you in Reduce 3"?

Will have to check in on the preview later on but: text comments sound good to me. :) Info on where ChordC songs are used sounds useful too, maybe clickable if the tracks are in the Audio Portal as well?

I like the end suggestion below too, "End of Reduce 2" - first line, second line - "See you in Reduce 3"

Well, so yes:

1. What do you think @ChordC, should we do for this? Maybe "Effect_Shrieking" - unification for the whole animation, and also emphasizing because I have the impression that somehow these subtitles (large and white) pass without the viewer's interest.

2. They stay as is - OK, they are fine.

3. @ChordC sure will create some masterpiece, I'm always impressed!

4. OK, so let it be that way.

5. ChordC songs - I don't think "for" is needed, example: "Reduction - ChordC (Main Menu, Scene 12)". Clickable if the tracks are in the Audio Portal? Interesting... but these subtitles keep moving and then disappear from the screen... Will the user / viewer have time to invade? How will he know when / is possible to click? Linking / hyperlinking does not work on NG Player (yet, I hope it will be fixed soon).

@ChordC, currently working on improving "Subtitles" (changing distances and adding you my friend :P).

When I'm finished I'll add your music to the Main Menu - "Reduction - ChordC (Main Menu, Scene 12)". Yes! @Everyone, @ChordC has created a great song! Everyone will be able to listen to it soon!

@ChordC, you can add it to your NG account :P

I figured it would be best to: "End of Reduce 2..." - first line, second line - "See you in Reduce 3!". What do you say?

@Mejson " "End of Reduce 2..." - first line, second line - "See you in Reduce 3!". What do you say?", that's fitting, yes, use that instead, in my opinion.

Super! I'm glad I had a good feeling with this. :)

@Mejson "1. What do you think @ChordC, should we do for this? Maybe "Effect_Shrieking" - unification for the whole animation, and also emphasizing because I have the impression that somehow these subtitles (large and white) pass without the viewer's interest.", Yeah, you can use the tense piano shrieking effect, see if it fits.

OK, I will use it and see if it fits. :)

@everyone I have posted the song on my profile, enjoy :).

Yes, welcome :P Here is the link: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/991045

Ah they were subtitles! Thought the ChordC song note was in regard to credits. Right, if they're subttitles it seems like clickability wouldn't be necessary, don't think the user would expect them to be clickable even if they did have time to click either. Could be useful in the end credits though. Think that was the only uncertainty here at this point...?

Do hope they fix that linking issue yeah, though maybe the NG Player won't be around all that long. If only they get AS3 working well enough with Ruffle. :)

Subtitles are displayed briefly too... but you think well, yeah it's a good idea but different performance :P You know... I think I could make a hideaway playlist (extendable) with selectable music and a title in the Main Menu. But that's another extra job to do. @Everyone, do you think we should create this? Guess my brother's opinion - @MariogD XD He would say, "It's a waste of time when Scene 1 will be ready?" I (personally) would like to do something like that, after all it's the work of our new friend :) It would be a list on the wheel with songs, no links / references would be needed. :P

Hehe well it might not be the most important feature but: would be pretty cool! :) Whatever time allows for IMO!

Yes, but I would like to celebrate @ChordC's work, so surely great idea! Plus, I think that would keep the viewer in the Main Menu a little more (and therefore in the whole animation), so that's is a plus! :P

@Everyone, @ChordC, I finished correcting Subtitles, so you can listen to the new song: "Reduction - ChordC (Main Menu, Scene 12)" :) I updated the project (EXE / SWF).

@ChordC, it doesn't fit to add any sounds to the subtitles in Credits (big and white), so preferably without sounds.

@ChordC, what do you think about your playlist (all songs to listen to) in the main menu? I think it's a cool idea :P

@Cyberdevil, @ChordC, Ok, then I already know what it should look like! Just like on the left side hit info. Need text... Headline (with sheet music icon): "ChordC's Music Playlist" :P And the text below: "Do you like what you listen? This is the latest song of our new ChordC team member who creates musical masterpieces! You want more? Click the button below:". And below is a button that opens / covers the current screen. It will be of the type of Reduce 2 - Summary (at the beginning) and a similar style :P

Please correct this text / grammar :)

Sounds great. :) Quick fix:

Do you like what you hear? This is the latest song of our new team member ChordC, who creates musical masterpieces! Want more? Click the button below:

Alternatively:

Do you like what you hear? This is the latest song of ChordC, our new team member who creates musical masterpieces! Want more? Click the button below:

Probably the better one :P I find that the word "latest" does not fit... because it will not be the latest song :P What can you give instead?

@Cyberdevil, since next year you will not participate much, I would like to deal with all the texts now :P

Other Credits texts:

K: I look like a true leader!
M: And those are decent tools!
Z: Professionalism above all.
R: You wanted to squeeze it. (talks about armor)

Hmm! Maybe simply: You're listening to musical mastery by our new team member ChordC! Do you like what you hear? Click the button below for more:

Or just swapping out 'This is the latest song': 'This song's by' or 'This track's by' instead?

I gave this: "Do you like what you hear? This is the next song of ChordC, our new team member who creates musical masterpieces! Want more? Click the button below:" :P

The character lines below sound good, just a little confused with:

R: You wanted to squeeze it. (talks about armor)

...what are they really talking about here?! XD Something about the durability of the armor? The texture...?

I found it on: https://context.reverso.net/t%C5%82umaczenie/polski-angielski/ty+te%C5%BC+by%C5%9B+chcia%C5%82

I thought it was a saying :P Malicious "you'd like it too" XD

There is no such thing?

Regarding the ChordC bit that sounds good, although 'next' seems to imply almost that the song is even later than 'latest'! Like a song for the future? The one after the current one?

Maybe that's not exactly the implication you're going for, an 'a' would be more neutral, but if that's what you'd like it does sound alright. :)

Regarding the squeeze thing I don't think that's a saying. XD Not sure what the example is from, but generally you want to squeeze things that are soft, or cute, or small, or just someone you're getting intimate with. :P It sounds a bit strange in the context of armor!

So basically, he's asking if the other character would like one too? Or likes the armor? Or attests to how good it is? Something like:

"Pretty durable isn't it?"
"Only for the strong"
"Tough like leather"
"A pincer couldn't pierce through this!"

OK: "Do you like what you hear? This is a next song of ChordC, our new team member who creates musical masterpieces! Want more? Click the button below:"

I get it, which is a completely different XD
"Pretty cool isn't it?" I wanted something like or to make jealousy :P

Ah my bad, I should've put in a full example. :) 'Next' will always imply latest, so a more neutral version would probably be: "Do you like what you hear? This is a song by ChordC, our new team member who creates musical masterpieces! Want more? Click the button below:"

Doesn't sound as cool but I can't think of a good replacement for 'next'. :P Current? New? The title of the song that's playing...?

Ah, got it! XD Very different indeed! I think "Pretty cool isn't it?" sounds great, no way to misunderstand. :)

Ok, in both cases, let's leave it as you wrote :P It will be safe and stable :)

Thanks for helping my friend! :) Sleep well!

Sounds good. :) You too!

@Mejson "it doesn't fit to add any sounds to the subtitles in Credits (big and white), so preferably without sounds."

Alright, sounds good to me.

"what do you think about your playlist (all songs to listen to) in the main menu? I think it's a cool idea :P"

Yeah, why not? :), pretty cool idea.

@Mejson "Do you like what you listen? This is the latest song of our new ChordC team member who creates musical masterpieces! You want more? Click the button below:".

I’ll iron out the English for you: “Like what you’re listening? This song was created by ChordC, our new team member who creates musical masterpieces! Want to listen to more of his creations? Click the button below:”.

We established with @Cyberdevil: "Do you like what you hear? This is a song by ChordC, our new team member who creates musical masterpieces! Want more? Click the button below:"
