Well, I do always encourage Rayman fanworks and so will I encourage yours,
I really can't say much about this, because, you know, I haven't seen anything!
It was Rayman running through a Portal, that's it.
Now, I would be much more interested if you had actually included some sort of Story in the trailer.
Also, the animation is pretty rough, Mr Dark is animated fine, as to Rayman isn't animated at all.
The sprites aren't consistent. First of all you have Mr Dark from Rayman Advance, then Rayman from Rayman 3, Some sort of strange portal that doesn't fit in there at all and finally there's the Rayman 2 logo.
I don't know if this was like a serious thing, but if it was, I'd suggest you better spend more time in animating, combining stuff, ADDING SOUND!, and finishing.
I hope you won't take this as bullying as well, 'cause this isn't, it's criticism!

2.) The introduction with the notepad text, it's as if you have not heard what WMM or Vegas is.

2. I own both of those, I just don't use them.

That's kind of silly, why would you not master your videos? By master, I'm referring to, once you export your Flash project, import it into Vegas to put on the finishing touches. Given that this is a 'test' I can let that one slide, but it seems as if you never intended on using it, which is really quite moronic, and it demonstrates an abhorrent lack of care and investment that goes into your project. Why not use the tools you have readily available to their full potential?

3.) The way Rayman was animated was really stiff.
4.) I can understand that was an introduction video to your sprite series but I found it so utterly pointless, if you are going to make a 9 second video for that matter, at LEAST be decently animated.

3. Good for you, it's called a test.
4. It was a TEST.

The purpose of a test is to demonstrate a technical aesthetic of some sort. Given that the majority of your 'test' consisted of Rayman moving into portals, what was the 'test' about? Was it to show off how you're able to make Rayman move from left to right, which in Flash (apparently what you use) simply requires you to move the sprite to the desired location at a spot in the timeline and nothing else? Unless you're ten and brand-new to the concept of animation software, this should not be anything remotely show-worthy or deserving of a public upload, as all of what you've shown in the video could take roughly one, maybe two minutes to accomplish. If the purpose was to show Rayman running why not actually animate him running? This leads me to my next point:

You aren't going to get far in sprite animating if you aren't using Flash, I HIGHLY recommend you do. I quit making sprite animations long ago.

5. I WAS ANIMATING IN FLASH.

And you're proving out point. Nothing what you've shown or likely had planned to show will make use of what Flash has to offer over other software. Instead of lazily moving someone from A to B with no animation in-between, why not take advantage of the fact that you have Flash and separate Rayman's parts, and animate him running? It's really not that hard if you have a reference as to what running looks like, and it should be even easier considering the fact that you're using sprites that have already been animated for you; all you have to do is drop in the individual frames of the Rayman 3 sprite running, one after the next.

>tells me to grow up
>abuses me

None of you deserve to even be rayman fans, you're all disrespectful bullies, at least I tried making something whilst you retards swear and bully people.

If you truly believe that people are bullying you, and you believe that bullying is wrong, why are you being a hypocrite and doing it right back to them? Calling buildersith a 'retard' is far worse than anything he had said to you. In fact, buildersith was being extraordinarily nice about it.

Then why are you still talking to me, Sith? ... Common sense, if you don't "want me to spoil the day", just ignore me? be mature? And no, you can't tell me what to do, i can stay here as long as I want.

>hypocritically retaliates by calling buildersith a retard after taking offense to supposed 'bullying'
>tells him to act mature

>acts mature

No, you're all being mean to me, I thought the rayman community was supposed to be nice, but no, and how the hell was that critism Rulez? "it's choppy and shit" It's called a test. It's simply moving sprites, i'm a fucking pro animator, am i??

Of course you're not a professional, no one here is. However, the work you have presented is something any uninspired ten-year-old could have accomplished, and because you clearly hadn't realised this, we're trying to make you realise this by giving fairly harsh criticism. Instead of admitting that you should have put more work into your presentation - note that regardless of the fact that it's a test, you used it as the leading introduction to your series, meaning that it is a presentation of some kind - you decide to not only become offended by our reaction to your work, but snap back at all the critique provided by everyone. Rayfist was the first one to give you detailed critique; nothing he said was mean, and yet you decide to respond like an ungrateful, cheeky bitch.

Sure, we're a nice community, and we're definitely not bullies; bullying behaviour is thoroughly frowned upon. In light of this, why don't you think for a minute about your behaviour, and consider that perhaps you're the one doing something wrong, not the rest of us?



Do you understand why you're acting foolish? People are giving you very harsh critique because your work thus far has been incredibly boon-worthy itself. We'll do whatever it take to make you realise that, because if you don't, you aren't going to ever improve.

I have a request:

If you feel that everyone's criticism was so 'mean', why don't you type up a fake reply to this topic that you would have liked to have seen instead? Tell us exactly what you actually wanted to hear.

[Rayfist]

Never have I cringed this fucking badly.
"You're all being mean to me"
Get out. If you can't handle when people offer you friendly criticism, get the fuck out. We can be a lovely community and very caring, be GLAD you have not posted this awful atrocity on Newgrounds.

No, you're all being mean to me, I thought the rayman community was supposed to be nice, but no, and how the hell was that critism Rulez? "it's choppy and shit" It's called a test. It's simply moving sprites, i'm a fucking pro animator, am i??

It's as if you didn't even READ a single bit of my post... as I said how are we suppose to know it's a test if it isn't even labelled a test? Besides the point, tests can still have critique on it, as it's a test, you're giving us a basic example of your ANIMATING POWERS, in that case, your ANIMATING POWERS are awful, take it or leave it. I use to have a horrid sprite series myself, if you don't believe me check my channel, I learned about how cringe-worthy and awful my sprite animations were, and THIS community helped me with that.

To conclude you're acting really childish and not even wanting to learn to improve, if this is the way you take friendly critique, good fucking luck in the real world my friend.

[Raymanni]

Oh boy. Am I sick or something, but I find it really entertaining and funny to read these kind of conversations.

[RaymanTheLegend]

Thank you for the criticism I will improve, i'm actually creating my own musics

Let's see, swearing at me and "giving criticism" that's bullshit. Also... I have a job and friends, I'm a fucking head of dept, think i don't take critics well? I deal with them everyday at work! So "good luck in the real world my friend." I am in the real world, i'm more successful than you, swearing at someone for no reason. You call me pathetic and I fucking have a job, why don't YOU do something constructive?

[Rayfist]

You're acting ridiculously childish. Let's go back to the past shall we?
It started with this...

Oh boy here goes a big one.
Before you get all mad at me, let me just say I use to make sprite movies, I look back at how awful they were.

Not bad? I offered friendly critique, read my first couple posts, no swears, no aggressiveness, nothing. Simple critique. The reply I got was literally swinging at me in such a hostile act. You replied in an obnoxious, childish, immature way, in fact not really answering my questions. Once again, the video wasn't labeled "TEST" so how the hell were we suppose to know? While I will admit, I was a tad bit harsh on the swears, you brang this act upon yourself. Even the other members here are saying you're acting ridiculous. Why am I touching this subject? To get through to you. I don't care about your outside life, I truly don't, nobody here does. (Though I am curious how you are 15 and head of a department... wut), anyways that aside, I acted out aggressively on you because of your childish behavior, even Rulez made a good statement. Forget the 'real life' scenario, let's just focus on your animations, that better for you? Does that suit better? Because if you can't take critique I don't think you'll be very well accepted. And yes, my swearing, while a bit harsh, wasn't started because of me. You proved by my first response you couldn't take critique and EVEN my second response didn't have swearing. In fact, look through the posts, who is the one who came first with swears?

i'm a fucking pro animator, am i

Right...

why don't YOU do something constructive?

The fuck? It's as if you know my daily activities, and for that I'm truly frightened.

You call me pathetic

Could you appoint me to that?

RaymanTheLegend, you're acting childish, immature, and while I was a bit harsh, you need to realize that not all people will soften up to you, I say that in the nicest way I possibly can. For the love of polokus, get your act together and quit it please. All of us here are asking you for that. Also no double post, bad boy.

[OCG]

Okay, first off, why is text in your post so huge? Was there any reason for that? Second, you are acting like a way bigger bully then any of us here. Third, learn to accept some criticism. It was a constructive criticism simply telling you what to do to improve, and what do you do? You attack everyone being a bully
In reality, only bully is you. Sorry but it is true. Like others said, learn to take criticism, don't act childish, and grow up. As for sprite movie itself, it's bad. To improve it, just do what others told you. It will be much better. Trust me.

I have to say one thing: Wtf was that?

Pretty much this.

[Rulez]

even Rulez made a good statement.

Hrnmmh.

i'm more successful than you

lol worst argument ever

[Rayfist]

Rulez is clearly more successful than me in life, cause he get's all the pretty polish woman, right Rulez?

[Rulez]

all the pretty polish woman

Yes, all one of them

[RaymanTheLegend]

Lol, this is a fun topic

[OCG]

Lol, this is a fun topic

After all the childish arguments you said now you say this is fun topic?

[Master]

He's dropped it, by the look of it, if that's the case, I suggest we all do.

[Rulez]

He's dropped it, by the look of it, if that's the case, I suggest we all do.

ok


let's drop it









Because I'm well tired of this whole argument. Let's just let it go.

[OCG]

Alright, I am dropping it.

[Adsolution]

He's dropped it, by the look of it, if that's the case, I suggest we all do.

I don't feel quite the same way, I think this needs to go on for a bit more, but with less hate.

Also... I have a job and friends, I'm a fucking head of dept, think i don't take critics well? I deal with them everyday at work!

If you 'took them well at work', I'm sure that you would be experienced with them. According to your reactions in this thread, it's clear that you are in fact inexperienced with criticism, especially in the face of many people who I agree are being unnecessarily harsh.

So "good luck in the real world my friend." I am in the real world, i'm more successful than you, swearing at someone for no reason. You call me pathetic and I fucking have a job, why don't YOU do something constructive?

You're saying this as a fifteen-year-old; your job is probably unimportant, very sparse and minimum-wage. Besides, who are you to assume the lives of others? What does 'success' imply or mean to you? You don't know what any of us do or don't do for a living, and bringing up your personal life in a conversation like this is entirely, one-hundred percent irrelevant, unless you're trying to excuse something (which you aren't).

Like said before, I do believe many people here are being too aggressive. If you are the person you claim to be however, you should be able to disregard all that and still refrain from making immature responses like this:

Lol, this is a fun topic

Because if you think getting 'bullied' and 'bullying' others is fun, I don't want to know what emo posts you'll have in store for us in the future.
