Reduce 3 - Heroes Choice

Posted by Mejson - December 19th, 2023


iu_1132063_2525285.png


Welcome everyone!


First thing:

How is your winter season going? All right? Are you coping? How's your health? Were you sick? As it happens in winter... of course I also had my experience with this condition, or maybe I still do? Intriguing, right? Less than a month ago, and exactly on the first day of winter, I got sick - a cold or flu... or maybe it was Covid? :P Hehe, who knows? Either way, lucky right? :P I'm blown away by such an honor :D And what's more, my throat is a little irritated :P What an adventure? The weather (winter) lasted for 3 weeks, so that's how long I was sick :P And how were you sick? Or nothing? No pleasure? XD Anyway, I wish everyone good health - because health is the most important thing! You can also give me some health, maybe not necessarily yours, hehehe. Greetings to everyone!


Main thing:

And now something more about the new interface - Reduce 3... I present to you the next part, namely the title one - Heroes Choice. As in the screenshot above we have:

  • information about where we are (upper left corner),
  • slider to increase/decrease heroes scrolling speed (above),
  • remaining - standard options (upper right corner),
  • text information explaining operation (above and below),
  • return to the main menu (bottom left corner),
  • information on what the user has moved the cursor over (bottom right corner),
  • main slider in the form of heroes cards with the option of automatic scrolling left/right with highlighting (color) of the selected character (in the middle).


In the next Poster I will present the appearance/function of entering a specific hero - its description, etc. Besides, I'm currently working on improving the movements of all characters - it turned out that their standard movements such as walking/running and similar are wrong. This will take me a lot of time... it's more of a work and time-consuming improvement.


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

Hey! New menu is shaping up to be awesome!

I have been so busy this holiday season between music, audio books, and voice acting, plus the usual holidays and walking pneumonia at this point. I'm glad to see you doing well!

Thanks! Well yes... I will show you piece by piece in the next Posters.

Well, yes, it's completely understandable, I'm also trying to grasp a lot, but it's very tedious and slow. Well, you were sick too... that's how it goes. Well, yes... physically I am fine, but as we all know, each of us is striving for something/chasing something and suffers from not being able to catch up with it...

Well, we do not have winter here, but it rains a lot from November to January XD.

New menu looks more modern and intuitive than previous ones, a welcome improvement for sure.

As for the songs, I am juggling between a project with @Cyberdevil, @MATRVG and @Mejson. Gonna take a while

No winter? :P At least you won't slip and have an accident. :P Hehe. Is it raining heavily? Well, I don't know what's worse... XD Rain is a real bother when you're doing something outside - walking, etc. :P Well, I hope you have at least one umbrella :) How do you stand it? I hate it when it rains...

Well yeah, that was the plan :P Hehe. It's a pity that I can't add the project - 'Reduce 3 - Part I' on NG... Well, I know what to do to add it after 6 individual episodes (the file with all the episodes is already ready - ready for 'Publish' will be cleaned with library to reduce its size to a minimum size of 250mb swf or less. All files that are not needed for this project will be deleted). Unfortunately, I can't do it earlier, which is a pity because I would like you to have a look at the entire interface. Maybe there would be some mistakes. I think the new interface is on par with the current level of games and movies. :P

Ooh, that's surprising. Thaaaat Unexpected! XD What do you do for @Cyberdevil? For @MATRVG too? I thought he was taking a break from making animations. So something is going on after all? Ok. This is good news because I thought he had given up making movies. I see. Have you already chosen what you want this song to sound like? I'm asking because I'm curious :P Best regards.

Heroes Choice visually reminds me of baseball/basketball trading cards - gives uniqueness to all characters.

Quality costs time, improvement requires patience from all of us. I accept that :]

Be well!

Well, you have a good feeling because that's the idea. That's how I came up with it, hehehe. Yes, that's what I wanted to achieve :P So it's cool, I managed to achieve my goal! :P Thanks for the positive words!

Well, creating the interface didn't take very long... rather, creating and fixing everything new is extremely labor-intensive. This will definitely take me a long time. It's a pity that I have a desktop computer because I couldn't take it with me for Christmas and... I'm terribly bored at home. Uhh, and my friends aren't feeling well - I think there's a cold here, what can I do - life...

I will be! Or I'll die of boredom...

It's definitely a great idea to add in the menu, for those who are new to the series and want to get the cast a bit more.

Well, you're right! But they will only see it after 6 episodes. Well... I feel like today is my 'well' day XD

I'm curious from which episode the rating will be 4.00 - which episode they will be really like. The momentum in the episodes builds gradually :P "Hunger grows while eating" :P We'll probably find out in the much further future :P LOL.

Thanks for comment!

I saw the menu so I can assure you - tt's great. @Mejson you rock. Cannot wait to see episode 1. Get back to work

Well (again) I hope you all enjoy it. However, I'm aware that most NG people will be watching the MP4 version and won't get much use out of this interface... but that's cool, because I'm actually making the animation for myself first, for you (my awesome team) second, and next for the rest of the community - NG. Hmm, there are also unexpected cases when I show my work to friends who watch it with me. :P

Awesome you say... hmm well, I don't know how long it's been since I first launched Flash, but it's been a long time. I needed a lot of time to improve my skills, it's a pity that creating these animations won't help things go faster :P

Well, me too. Creating first episode requires creating a lot of elements... We were all aware that it wouldn't happen soon :/ But this is what 'Reduce 3' was supposed to be - new, better, bigger, greater, etc. 300% better than the previous seasons. This requires a lot of improvements and the creation of completely new objects and background elements. It certainly overwhelms me, but I try not to think about it.

'Get back to work' - hmm... it hasn't happened here before, that's for sure. Unfortunately, I can't go back to work :P I don't have my 'NASA' computer at home :P

I deal with rain by staying inside my house and play videogames, make songs, and other in-house activities :p.

That’s alright, just make do with what we got right now. I will think R3 would be an adequate improvement from previous installments ;)

A Christmas themed song collab with @Cyberdevil , still waiting for his vocals. I don’t mind being late, as long as it will be released someday. As for @MATRVG , I am making an original soundtrack for the Bravo Team. I have made the general rhythm and rundowns of both songs, just need to complete them, little by little.

Hmm, I see... that's why you play so many games and create so many songs and you have to spend time with me, dude :P Hehe... just kidding :) You do it because you love it! And you love me XD Hehe. Hmm, by the way, when I come back on Wednesday, maybe we can start playing a little? Would have been nice. It's nice that you help around the house and you live well in your own home. Personally, I feel bored and alienated in my family home... because I am usually in my family home for one week a year and I don't have a laptop because after losing the last model I gave up this option (laptops are poorly efficient and I can't do my projects. You know perfectly well why :P) Er... what did I say? I lost the thread :P Oh, I know, we can play too.

Well, naturally I take care of what I have, so doing 'exciting' things with my family. :P I didn't manage to go anywhere with my friends from home... unfortunately, people are not feeling well :/ What a pity...

Well, if I manage to master further progress over time, 'Reduce 3' will certainly be brilliant! xD

Ohh that sounds really interesting :) I'm curious and I can't wait to hear this work :) Well it will definitely be released someday :) Well, I also can't wait for the next animation from Matt :) Hmm cool. I see.

'NASA' computer - hehe. It's ok, Christmas time should be spend with family and friend. Looking forward too see you in our home town!

I've had a good computer for some time now, but I can't go for a walk with it. Maybe I need to ask Rash how to do it, because without a computer it's like without a hand :/ Well, the pandemic has torn away any feelings of this type from me - to become stronger :P Well, I miss friends, but somehow I don't go out to meet anyone - bad with the drow dudes. Well, I would also like to finally find my soul mate - a woman :P After all, you can't stay alone all your life... well, it would soon turn out that you're alone in a bigger apartment :/ Shitty with that... and what's more, people are so fucked up now, it's a shame to talk. And you're still gone, brother, and you'll arrive very late, but it doesn't matter - hard live... It's very boring because I don't really have anything in common with my family - that looks like when you live in other city. And terribly boring.

@Mejson You are correct for the most part :p and yes, we can play on Wednesday. Well, I’m sure you can deal with family for a while. While it can be annoying tor slme people, I’m pretty sure spending some time with them while they’re still around is worth while. And yes, home PC is the better option once you have stopped hopping from one living place to another.

Well, I guess it is the snow?

I agree :D

Yes, we will wait and see ;)

Ooo, it's nice to hear that I'm right :) Well, I'll definitely be back on Wednesday, but if I don't manage to unpack and go out for coffee, it'll be on Thursday :P Well, you're right :P Yeah, we can sweeten it up if there's no one there :) Family ... it's strange that we are so different - me and my sister are completely different worlds. Spending time with your family like this - unforgettable experiences :P Maybe so, especially since it is impossible if you don't have a car.

It's raining a bit, but I don't think it will last because it's not that cold.

Cool.

Well... we'll wait a long time. Hmm, it's possible that half of Episode 1 could be done faster, but I guess that's okay... I prefer to manage the clips.

@Mejson, are you planning any trailer or announcement promoting R3 just (directly) before THE PREMIERE of the first episode? Just like @MATRVG does with LoW trailers

Hmm, good question Bott*. I think that the announcements will make no sense because when I can make a trailer, the episode will basically be ready. At least at the beginning, because the first scenes will not be long. It is possible that further scenes - some epic and very desirable ones, such as when Mejson fights with Keni - it is possible that so. It is known that when there will be ready to make such a trailer, the episode itself is ready... hmm, I don't know :P I'm sure we'll see in the future how best to deal with such trailers, my dear Bott* :D

Hey hey! This looks great, those follow/heart buttons are a nice touch. :) Intricate/intuitive UI design overall.

I'm doing alright, though working through Christmas too this year, busy season. Fortunately managed to stay healthy at least *knock on wood*. Good to hear you're recouping, save for that throat itch! And staying productive no less

@ChordC Relieved to read the 'I don’t mind being late, as long as it will be released someday' there. XD Been planning to message, I didn't get the spare time I usually get around Christmas, but it shall be made! I'm looking forward to it too!

Hey! :P Thanks! I tried to make everything match :) You can't do 'style over substance' because it would be unattractive, hehehe XD Well, yes, hearts, because they are still alive :P The others have cute skulls XD Thanks, hmm it wasn't very complicated :) It was nice to make the interface, because it's not too repetitive, unlike now :P

It's good that you're doing well. It's a busy Christmas... hmm, at least you're not bored :P And what are you doing? That's good because health is important. Apparently everyone has this itchy throat. I wish I had more of the design done... lots of ready-made pieces, but well, it's not easy at all.

Hehehe :P Well, if there is no specific date, there is no need to worry :P Everyone can't wait!

Perfect balance between style and substance for sure. :) Ahh the hearts were their status! I thought they'd let you follow individual users that characters are tied to... though it does say in the description, they look just like the previous favorite icon here on NG. Maybe they could do that too? ;) Either way nice detail.

That's true! XD It's not bad work either, website design project actually, just took a lot more time to optimize than we thought it would, deadline's in January so no real vacation till it's finished.

No need to worry with the date but everyone can't wait?! :P Yes, indeed, feel bad for suggesting that project when I didn't have enough time right away, but such is life sometimes, I need to be more efficient. Whenever it's done hopefully it doesn't disappoint!

In the meantime Merry Christmas Mejson! Hope you get some refreshing rest too!

Yes, it's good that it turned out that way :) Yes, hearts have their own status :P Hmm, I wonder what came to your mind? How's character tracking? I don't know what you mean :P Thanks.

How true it is! You can't cheat the truth. Ohh, I feel sorry for you... if you have to finish, what can you do, you have to push/work :/

Well, that's the way it is... it always takes more time than we think. Well, that's what I always think. Hmm, I don't know if it's possible to be more effective. Maybe we need to demand less from ourselves :) I'm sure no one will be disappointed :D It's definitely going to be something super special :)

Merry Christmas Cyberdevil :P And what's your name? Hehehe XD Hmm, I don't like to rest, at least not with my family :P

@Cyberdevil, @AzureDragoonGX, @ChordC, @MariogD, @SayMeBott, @Colizza, @XavierDalton, @MATRVG, @uncookboi, @adr3-n, have a peaceful Merry Christmas and a fulfilled New Year's Eve! Do you already have plans for the new year?

@Mejson @Cyberdevil @ChordC @MariogD @SayMeBott @Colizza @XavierDalton @MATRVG @uncookboi @ADR3-N It's been going fine, a whole lot of cooking and baking to keep me busy throughout the next week. Hope y'all have a delightful Holiday week!

I'm glad everything is going well for you :) Cooking and baking for next week? Why for next week? For me it's just consumption now, today is Christmas Eve :P Well, I would really like to spend a wonderful week of holidays. :) I'll probably meet up with friends and, of course, still doing animation in Flash XD

PS. I haven't seen a comment from you for a long time, @AzureDragoonGX on NG. :) Thanks for your comment bro!

@Mejson @Cyberdevil @AzureDragoonGX @ChordC @MariogD @SayMeBott @Colizza @XavierDalton @MATRVG @uncookboi Other than several christmas parties, I will just be doing VA work and working on scripts/music for the next few weeks. I've taken a bit of hiatus from social media to get everything done. I made an AI model of myself so I don't have to break out my tools if I'm just doing something quick. Pretty cool stuff!

Of course :) Several? Cool! I see, what is this VA for (sorry if you said it and I forgot)? And as for scanaries and music? Well, it's worth taking a break sometimes. Yes! It sounds very interesting, especially since it is an intelligent model and makes life easier. :) Cool!

Thanks for comment! I always appreciate your activity in the form of comments on NG! Regards!

@Mejson @Cyberdevil @AzureDragoonGX @ChordC @MariogD @Colizza @XavierDalton @MATRVG @uncookboi @ADR3-N Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year to all! Let this time be a break from every-day-life :)
Kisses :*

@Mejson plans? No, one must take what fate gives, for plans bring disappointment...

You're welcome, Bott*! Well it certainly is XD Hehe. Oooh kisses? :P What a emotions :P

Hmm I see, you're certainly right. Although sometimes it is possible to plan something :) I certainly have a lot of work ahead of me.

Thanks for your comment and great wishes!

@Mejson VA for voice acting work which I will be doing for F-gents using my models! I'm super excited for what we come up with!

I also have a collab upcoming with @SkankyMojo passing files back and forth which I haven't done in long time!

Always appreciate you!

I understand, it will definitely be great! It's a pity that we have all the dubs for 'Reduce 3' :/ But it will certainly come in handy in the future, especially since I'm not sure about the future of the dub - some VAs may get sick (diseases) - our people may disappear :/ You certainly still have time, to develop your model :)

Interesting! It's definitely an interesting project :)

I appreciate you too!

Hmm well I was thinking they were a bit like the heart icons on the loading screen in this: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/632024

...click to follow a user. :) Looking back though the NG icons (the hearts here were the old 'follow' icon on this site) didn't really look the same at all, I'm misremembering...

Thanks man, though it's alright, I'm looking forward to taking a few days break when it's all finished instead. :) With my regular work schedule there'll be time for it then!

It's like a universal law! XD How does it always take more time than we expect it to, you'd think we'd learn to calculate things better with time! Mmm, might be a better way for sure. :) Hope so!

Ah my real name's Bob if you want to use that. XD Well you can rest when you're dead, as they say! If you love doing what you do then who needs it! Hoping you do get a family you eventually enjoy your rest with though, occasionally!

All the best!

Hmmm, maybe so :P In fact, they can be very similar :) Cool, you thought of it nicely, but in R3 it's just a decoration showing a symbol in this interface - whether a given hero is alive... or not :P LOL

Hmm, yes, of course I remember :P I clicked it myself :)

Cool! It's good that you're still okay, a break of a few days will definitely be good for you :) OK :P

Hehe XD Yes :P Maybe we're learning, but we're definitely trying harder and that's why we're failing more and more XD It's a disaster :P There won't be a better way, but we're in no hurry :P

Bob? Cool :) Bobby? Interesting :) No, cool :P I was just curious :) I'm a QA after all :P Yes, it's best for me, but it's also nice if others like it too :P Well, thanks :) Having your own woman changes everything - that's for sure : P Showing her hometown and family, that would be exciting :P

Happy best to you too!

Yeaaa! That was not bad :P Positive and very family-friendly, and MariogD was happy :P We saw each other at a party with the boys from the family home, it was quite cool :P And that's the end of the christmas, we have to get back to taking care of things and life. xD

Thanks for the slightly late wishes! :) Nice!

Gotcha, I understand that now. :)

Ah you remember the interface too, nice :)

That may be. :D Maybe a part of the time-consumption formula always failing is us always thinking we'll do better than we do, too, maybe we're really pretty optimistic about everything! XD

I have been called Bobby once or twice. :) And Robert, as some assume my full name is. Bob actual is the full name though - a simple one syllable palindrome the international man can know. :P That would be nice yes... may we get there some day soon!

All the best to you too! Seems I'm slightly late with everything these days! XD

That's cool :P It's worth understanding :)

Yes, cool interface :)

Well, if we weren't optimistic in our own work, we would probably never start/finish anything XD

I understand, nice to know :) Hehe, one syllable palindrome :P You put it pretty well. :P I hope we get there! :)

All the best! Well, yeah... you're late lately XD hehe, it's cool, we're used to it :P

Hehe yeah I think I'll write that down somewhere, might want to use it again. XD

Thank you! And I'm a little quicker today! :P

All the best!

Good idea :P

Way to go! Indeed :)

Mutually!
