Reduce 3 - Main Menu

Posted by Mejson - November 27th, 2023

Welcome everyone!


First thing:

Well, you know very well that I've been gone for almost three months... so I won't pretend that I actually disappeared for "a little bit". Apparently I needed a break to forget about Flash? Hehe, maybe? :P But probably not :D Well, as I already shared with my friend - I don't think that this website (NG website) or the people or anything related to NG has deteriorated... I think that NG is doing well and its people they still keep the level. So I don't think you can blame NG for your problems or mental state. If you want to change something, start with yourself :) Hmm, I've gone off topic :P I meant that I needed to deal with my problems myself. Well... I have been looking for answers and meaning, but based on the time I have spent, I can say that I have not found it. Sometimes we want something, but we can't get it... and we just can't have it. I think it's a matter of summer/autumn - we just feel something intensely and we think it's a matter of our feelings, but the truth is that it's a matter of the surroundings and the season... so don't worry that I was not here :P But of course, thank you very much! That's nice :) Greetings to you too! So much for the introduction.


Main thing:

Back to business! As for Reduce 3 - our beloved season 3! As you can see in the screenshot above, we have a large part of the interface ready for this wonderful season! How do you like it? As you know, we have moved away from the old interface and are moving into the future, and with this future we are creating new solutions and new looks! However, of course we did not want to lose our legacy... Each animation (episode) is/will be individual. Of course, at the very beginning we have a preloader (classic), restrictions (what this animation have for example - age), logos and a special 'Reduce' logo transformation (this is my favorite staff :P).


Here is the new Logo (our crew and name):

This logo is animated, so it does not cover anything - the card appears later (after animating the elements).


Well, when it comes to the main menu itself - we are all still curious whether it will be possible to release a 'swf' version that will include numerous additions such as: HEROES (introduction of characters with narration), PLAYLIST (all available music tracks created for this saga), QUALITY (changing the quality of the video) and TROPHIES (trophies that we will also discuss later). I will show more in subsequent posters! See you!


What do you think about it, @Cyberdevil, @AzureDragoonGX, @ChordC, @MariogD, @SayMeBott, @Colizza, @XavierDalton, @MATRVG, @uncookboi, @adr3-n?

I'm glad you're finally back in the game! I think the new format (episodes of R3), but also improving animation and interface, will let fans know that we are not standing still. It's nice to be part of this project.

Once again, nice to have you back!

Apes together strong!

Mejson

Well... I just got sick. Maybe it won't be bad. XD New format - great. Do you mean improving character movement? It's a disaster, so much work... It's a pity that there are 5 Mejsons to work for. XD

Thanks! You too!

Force!

MariogD

OH yeah King has returned!

Alucard

Awesome, keep up the good work!

Mejson

Thanks! I appreciate it! However, this requires an extraordinary amount of work.

SayMeBott

@Mejson generally characters (so fights and movement too) and scenography ;)

Mejson

Well... yes.

ADR3-N

Have missed you! Glad to see you back. But regarding the logo, am I technically part of Reduce Team since I have done VA work and music? :0

Mejson

I missed you too! You too! Well... you're right. Sorry for this omission :/ I already have an idea how to do it so that you can be too :) Even in an interesting way :)

Cyberdevil

The season definitely impacts our feelings in a big way too. :) Even on the hormonal level... sunshine, pheromones in the air, more light and life and momentum everywhere... wish the whole year was more summer.

Seems like things are evolving in a big way here! I like the logo... with the hyphen beside the 'f' it looks a bit like Agents too. :) Little hidden symbolism; professionalism; dual intention maybe?

Looking forward to this! Big things.

Curious how you got the curved text effect here btw, is it manual rotation with individual letters/parts of the name? Some way to automate that effect?

Mejson

Well that's true. True? :P Yeah, there were definitely a lot of hormones in the air... it was a disaster. Well, it depends on how much the season punishes us. So far, I've noticed that there are always problems with loneliness between summer and winter, and well... it's very easy to catch the flu in winter.

Well, maybe so, but still too slow... the development is hopeless. There is so much work... it scares me :/ There is so much work. Thanks! The logo is, of course, fully animated. It has already been said what this means. 'F' - Flash, 'gents' - gentlemen.

Thanks! By the way, I don't know when I will find time to listen to your works from October.

Well, rotating the letters by a specific (fixed) angle and distance. Although it was still a lot of work.

ChordC

Mate, I am glad that you have posted again, reminds me of my early days in this crew. Happy to stumble upon your old CS animations again, people still love them, maybe you should make 1 last CS animation in the future ;).

Glad that you still have the motivation, mate. Keep on going, even when things don’t go ad planned.

The brand new main menu seems more streamlined and tidier. As for the logo, I think the yellow paper should not cover up Cyberdevil’s name, maybe make it smaller, or other solutions.

Mejson

I'm glad too! I wish I could do more at once, but well... it's impossible. Beginnings? :) Old CS animations? People still love them? Hmm, that's nice, but I'm a man of my words. And as I said, I won't go back to creating CS - those were the old days of learning, and now it's time to create something ambitious - Reduce 3.

Well, I don't have much of it... especially since I've been away for over 2 months recently. Well, for now I don't know about the 'swf' versions, but thanks!

Well, as it was said - we are moving towards modernity, just like in games and films. As I have already written - 'yellow paper' appears at the very end. This logo is fully animated. It doesn't cover anything. You can see long enough beforehand.

Alucard

@Mejson yes, the ammount of details, drawings and animations, even synch the voice acts, trully an astonishing endevour! To finish his vision idea is the animator struggle, to deliver the final product having it's own signature and his honor.

Mejson

Thank you! I hope that 'Reduce 3' will be an even greater success than its predecessors ('Reduce 1' and 'Reduce 2'). Have you seen the previous parts? What do you say about them?

MATRVG

Look who it is. Glad to see you're up and coming back!

Mejson

Thanks! You too!

uncookboi

My dude, you're back. Love to see ya!

Mejson

Hey! Nice to see you too!

ADR3-N

@Mejson It's okay! I'm not offended just wanted to make sure! Since we are moving to f-gents we can make the age-old joke of no girls on the internet ahahaha

Mejson

No, it's ok.

Cyberdevil

Mmm, winter with the lack of light, and warmth, and all the more isolation... flu too yes.

Hmm well maybe you ought get a bit more rest before you really delve into it all? Just don't burn yourself out, if you don't have the energy or mindset for it currently, whenever time comes though I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out! As with all work it seems easiest to get through things when you do them in incremental steps, don't think about how big a project is, just get started; keep going at a reasonable pace. One step at a time.

Well yes, I got the Flash gentlemen thing, but it's cool that it looks a bit like Agents as well, like there's a secret element to it beyond the main meaning. Not intentional though then huh. Unintended extra subliminal message aesthetic appeal! :P

Ah don't worry about it! It's cool when you do check in, but no worries if you don't, eventually there'll be one mixtape for all of these, easier to comment on then. ;)

Mejson

Well, I don't give a damn about light, hehe XD. More of a problem is the fact that the cold and winter are damaging my health... I can't recover from a cold, and the fact that I can't walk because there is so much ice on the sidewalks is terrible... I hate winter :/

Seriously? What do you think, that I'm old or something? I "rested" for almost 3 months. Do you think that resting helps? I don't think so. Well, it's hard for me to burn out, my life isn't complicated enough. Well, motivation is an illusion because apparently what I miss most is what I don't have. I hope that when I find this "happiness" it will be better, but it's hard to achieve. Well, don't think, do it. How will it end? It's not off to a good start yet. Yes you are right.

It's good that you have it :) Well, if you imagine that we are "agents", I won't spoil the fun for you :P

Ok, thanks!

Cyberdevil

@ADR3-N looks like you got your name posted over mine now. XD Wonder if you can interact with that post-it hmm, like if in the Flash version you can move it around, or if elements are slightly transparent/visibility shifts when you hover over them...

Looks good though. Creative inclusion.

Mejson

This is all animated, as I mentioned, this yellow note appears at the very end and doesn't really cover anything. Nice ideas, but unnecessary - a waste of time. And there is no point in spending time on it. I think it's done enough. I don't know why I would make such an interactive logo.

OK thanks!

MariogD

@Cyberdevil I had the same comment, that your name is not visible now xD , but as @Mejson told it is only for this poster. Real version is a little different. All people are perfectly visible on final version.

Alucard

@Mejson They're gigantic projects that needed lots of passion and commitment!

Mejson

You mean mine? It's like, I think it's exactly what you say. And a lot of work... unfortunately.
