[Notepad Drawing Collab 2009]

(title in work)

This was a pretty cool art collab. There was a ton of content, and everything was at pretty high quality. Definitely a lot of talent in the drawings here, and a lot of dedication towards the project. I don't really see the point of adding medals to this though, as it really doesn't take much skill to get them. But anyway, a good collab...hope to see one next year as well.

JKAmovies responds:

The medals are just a little bonus for the viewers. Thanks for your comment and I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Heh, I never knew such fun stuff went on in the Art Forum. I've never seen a submission like this, in which users created a story from their pictures. I'm more used to art collabs with just a single theme, so this was a nice change from that. My main problem with this is that you made this such a small resolution. The art's quality was compromised a few times I feel, and it would have been simple to just make this a larger resolution to get most pictures closer to their normal dimensions.

Meh, I'm not incredibly impressed with this game. Though I've heard otherwise, I honestly thought the game was much too easy. The only level that gave me trouble was 27, but that was just a lot of fine tuning. Even level 30 took me about 2 tries and all of one minute to figure out. Too many easy workarounds like level 25, where all you have to do is put in one bounce block. Level 25 is just as simple as level 2. In the future, you should make this more complex with a greater variety of weapons.

[Billy Mays Yourself!]

Epic tribute, much better than the movie tributes that I've seen (including mine). It's very neat how the whole beard is done simply by clicking a few times, and then done automatically. The texture of the beard is very good, looks just like a Billy beard. I especially like the "Billy Here!" at the top of the final product. Very good job, and a fitting tribute to the great man.

[OrigamiLock Art SlideShow]

Excellent! There was a whole lot of art in this, and I was really surprised at the quality of the art throughout. You obviously put a lot of time an effort into every single drawing, and every one looks great. Very detailed and very good music as well!

[Runes of Shalak]

I thought some death situations were a bit frustrating, like how I couldn't squeeze by on the right hand side of stage 8. The platforms are MUCH smaller than they appear to be, which gets extremely frustrating when you play this game and die at each level 20 times because you seemingly fall through the floor. Can't say I really enjoyed playing this game. Much too tedious and precise.

[Money Run]

Yeah, it's a decent game. The mechanics of it aren't too bad. I didn't like how the car interacted with the walls though, that was kind of a tough situation to get out of. I think this game would have been better if it had a larger play field. It's kind of cramped the way it is. Also, add some music or sound effects to this.

[Anime Character Maker 2]

(title in work)

This was a very good character creator. You had a ton of options that leads to a huge number of combinations. The artwork was very good. Lots of shading and detail in every object. Clearly you put a lot of effort into this. I liked the interface...very easy to use. Could have used some music though.

[D-Day Defender]

(title in work)

A pretty basic defense game to commemorate the D-Day Invasion. I really enjoyed the storytelling in this between waves, I think the cutscenes were a very nice touch. I really didn't like the very narrow screen, I felt as though I was squinting the entire time I was playing, which was a bit annoying. The achievements are reasonable enough, and overall a well-made, though not too innovative game.

[Dress Up Grif]

(title in work)

Well the same goes for this as the other dress up game you made. You should really add some more accessories and perhaps some more clothing options. Other than that, I think you've got the art down pretty well.
