IT'S STILL APRIL 21ST WHERE I'M LIVING AHHHHHH

Ahem...

This is a flash about a cynical man who makes weird friends. Hilarity ensues.

It would've had a lot of more stuff, but I had to reallocate time for only the first one. All in ~2 days

I tried to make it as visually interesting as posssible, I had to considering I ended up writing by the seat of my pants. Because of all that, two of the characters in the character page didn't get to appear. I hope that one day I can make it how it was meant to be.

The animation is really well done but I can barely understand what the characters are saying so I can't even begin to understand the jokes. As a quick tip, this is how you can keep Flash from compressing your audio:

Publish -> Publish Settings -> Audio event/stream -> Higher bitrate and "Override sound settings"

A couple things like the dick cutting gag weren't unfunny in the sense that they were offensive but rather that they just felt boring. I'm not sure if it's just that the joke was fundamentally unfunny or if a difference in timing could have sold it a bit better.

Thanks for the critique. Yeah, I sort of kept the default audio settings to mask my terrible on-the-spot voice work, especially for Hellanna's voice. The modifier made some distortions that can be heard when streaming the raw audio.
As for everything else, you're right. You would not believe how unhappy I was with how it turned out. When testing the movie, I felt a very strong emotion. My friend called it duress, I'm not entirely sure about that. Frankly, I hated most of it.
The dick gag was really off due to the fact that it was literally made an hour before submission. It was supposed to be a main part of the movie and have an actual payoff later. A lot in this movie are artifacts from when it was a bigger project. I really just want to overhaul everything and make it less awkward and more coherent. Trust me bro, it would've been g8.
If you want to know more, just hit me up. I'd be happy to elaborate on everything.

Very authentic one, nice entry

p.s. just watched the secret scene... ouch

RagingStreetTaco responds:

Lmao, shock value still has it's moments. Thx for the review.

Its pretty obviously incomplete, but what you got together before the deadline was still prety damn good. Feels like a throwback to the '00s.

RagingStreetTaco responds:

Wow, thanks! Glad you thought it was prety damn good.
Yeah, everything I make tends to end up being a throwback to the '00s, in one way or another for some reason. If you like that, then you'll probably like what I have planned ;).
