I think it would be cool to make, what do you guys think? Do you think itd be popular or anything?

Just an idea..

We started to do this a while ago, but it never took off. We could always pick up from where we left off on that one. The storyline was cool.

That idea was really good, but as someone else said, it could only really be made by a large development group (i.e. a games company)

Read the new NH Collab thread, that had some good stuff on We were thinking of making an animation collab themed around night

BTW I think this idea could work, since we have quite a large number of coders. If this idea did go ahead, maybe some of the animators could also teach stuff like walk cycles, drawing platforms / scenery etc.

Personally I think that the animation collab would be the best way to promote NH at this moment tho.

PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE INVOLVED WITH THE *OFFICIAL* NH PLATFORMER TUTORIAL COLLAB:

-BluMess - Artist

-Flashtoo - Coder
-Woadraiders - Coder

Yeah but I can't animate.

Why not a make a platfomer collab. With a few programmers, showing the audience how to Make then game.

Then a few artists shows the audiecne how to then make the game look good.

I think this would turn out nice, since I;'ve never seen a collab wiitch covers everything for some one new to flash.

Since Flashtoo does AS2 and I do AS3 then we could just have 3 different categories or however we split it up. We could be teaching the same things just in different actionscript versions to appeal to a wider range of people.

that'd be good, I've found alot of good tut's I wanted to use but then found out it was AS3 which really irritated me. I presume it's the same for others and Vis Versa.

You know this might not be a bad idea at all
Maybe, if the artists were up to it, they could each hint at how they achieve their style, e.g. show how to do their certain technique of shading, so we have different sections for different art styles.

Is that too much?

Well, people should have their very own style.

No Chris I don't think it is, but eh, I guess it's up to the individual artists? idk.

What artists are going to help out with this?

Bump!

Come on, we need to get our site ranking up guys
It's great to see you all producing stuff, don't think I'm just sitting around critisizing your work I'm doing some flash stuff too, albeit fixing glitches / improving the site as well.

So, who's with this project!

Say
I eat platformer collabs for BREAKFAST! Let's DO this! I am a artist/coder !
if you're in!

Then me / Woad will compile a list!

I'll join, but I don't know what you'd use me for. I can only rewrite other codes and make codes work together. Nothing from scratch. My art's just as basic. Dunno, your call.

I eat platformer collabs for BREAKFAST! Let's DO this! I am a coder !
AktionShkript too point oh.

Please don't rush things, I'm busy already

It's ok, same.
I just want to get it sorted who wants to be involved

These are the coding topics I can think of. Anyone else have any ideas to add onto this? It doesn't matter if there's enough topics or not. If there are enough then we can just pick the best.
