Welcome everyone!
First thing:
Hello people! Greetings to you again! My wonderful crew and the entire cultural/artistic mix of NG! How I holding up? You can guess...yes, go ahead, why not? Yes! You guessed right! I'm sick again... Hmm, I feel like this winter is trying to kill me. :P It's kind of funny, but not really... because it's tiring and tedious at the same time. I think that in the future I will make a poster about my record illnesses this winter - a great achievement that I hope is worth immortalizing... I don't know... sometimes I feel like I do a lot of things just for myself... but it's not it doesn't matter, I'm used to the fact that most things we create and it is often ignored or unnoticed. It doesn't matter, most of them are just a souvenir from the near or distant past :) We know that Reduce Saga will probably never be as popular as CS, but everyone knows perfectly well that you can't do anything by force... especially since it was a series of youth - so early, it had no logic or sense, and yet animations don't have to be like that. I think that animations are the future, especially since real films are going to the dogs... Animations are the future! I would like all NG creators to think of animations as an opportunity to develop and improve themselves and their works. Well, I guess I talking too much :P Hehe. Greetings to you once again!
Main thing:
This time it's time for something special! It's as the title says - Trophies Menu! Naturally (as you can see), there are no photos added because these will be photos from scenes that have not been created yet. I will try to explain it as best as I can. You can start by saying that this applies to special editions - Reduce - Part (I, II and III). These are three projects that will be in the SWF version, which means they will be able to be interacted with by the user (but not only, sometimes there will be humorous gags and memes). The user will be able to get special trophies and their descriptions, which are also Easter Eggs - the user will have the opportunity to get to know our crew better! I think it's very interesting, not only because of the trophies themselves, but also because of the creation of a kind of bond - the viewers with the creators :) More precisely, in each single scene you will have to obtain a trophy, which will be represented as a spider running across the screen at the moment of occurrence. Easter Eggs and when the viewer catches (clicks) this spider, he or she will unlock a specific Easter Egg. There are 18 of them in total, i.e. 1 per scene, and in each part (I, II and III) there are 6 scenes, so you can guess that the first SWF project will consist of 6 individual scenes (episodes).
As in the screenshot above we have:
- information about where we are (upper left corner),
- 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),
- three clickable buttons (photos) in the left middle to change trophies from the next part (I, II and III),
- in the very center there are 6 square cards that are clickable buttons (going to a specific Easter Egg / Trophy).
In the next Poster I will present one example of EASTER EGG / TROPHY. It will include a photo from the scene and a description that explains the specific Easter Egg.
What do you think about it, @Cyberdevil, @AzureDragoonGX, @ChordC, @MariogD, @SayMeBott, @Colizza, @XavierDalton, @MATRVG, @uncookboi, @adr3-n?

WIll these trophies be linked to medals too, via the NG API? If there's one thing users like it's medals IMO, if it's not planned it could be a good boost. ;) Though could you have medals on movies too hmm, maybe you couldn't, they've made exceptions for certain collabs in the past if no...
This looks great, I like the literal egg trophy too, like a Fabergé egg... cool design.
As for your sickness man, what a record to have. XD And you do take vitamins.... do you get enough sleep? Wonder how you could boost your immune system further, troublesome with ailments as reoccurring as this! Get well soon.

I knew someone would ask about it right away... no, they won't! This can't be done... I did something like this in Reduce 2 - Summary, and in the project view it worked, but after publication it didn't, so I'll forgive myself this disappointment for the second time... :/ There's no point in wasting time on it because it won't really impress anyone enough to make it worth fighting, and it won't work anyway... What do you mean? - 'medals for films'? And where would you like to add it? If it goes to 'Parts', it's out (the point limit has already been reached).
Thank you! It's nice and it's a pity that it will only be for information purposes, but I'm self-taught when it comes to using AS3.0, so I'm probably not advanced in it. I don't think I'll be any better...
Yes, yes, yes... I think it's because of stress... and losing weight makes me feel cold all the time in this musty hole where I still live :/ That's how it is. Thanks!
