Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Hey guys. Sorry for not updating recently. I guess theres been a little bit of a communication breakdown between myself and Tom during my first few weeks of University. But things are picking up again now. Ok, onto the news!

TSAH3

Yes, I am planning to make it. But I don't want to rush into it. I want to give everyone a chance to actually play the game, maybe once or twice. I will probably start recruiting in a few weeks.

HOW DO I GET A PART IN TSAH3?

I've decided to make a bit of an event out of this. If you want in, what you'll need to do is this:

--Make a (Halo 3) Master Chief character model in Flash. That means seperating the legs, arms, body etc via symbols.

--Then send us (flashbros@gmail.com) the .FLA file (thats the FLASH file, NOT the .swf file)

--My favourite Chief models (not neccessarily the BEST, but the ones I like the most) will be picked to be in TSAH3 and we'll get in contact with you. This kinda makes it exciting, right? Also, if you've got other work on Newgrounds that you can link to, that'd be a GREAT HELP and may well help us come to a decision.

Oh, and don't get annoyed if disagree with entering this way, or if I don't pick your Master Chief model. You're perfectly free to make anything you want and submit it to Newgrounds! But the TSAH series belongs to me and RubberNinja :P

If you want tips for making character models, you can check out my character model tutorials. But I want every Flash animator to have had some experience with this kind of anmation before, so you should know how to get started, at least.

I will anounce a deadline a little later on.

In other news, our good buddy The Swain released a new movie yesterday - Blockhead Ghostmas Special. Not only is it super awesome, it features some very familiar backgrounds...

K, more news soon, I promise!

Oct. 26, 2007 | 3:03 PM Deetix says:

Oh Shi- This should be good.

Oct. 26, 2007 | 3:46 PM Paper-Shadow says:

Damn, I've never played Halo 3...

Oh well, good luck with your upcoming projects.

Oct. 26, 2007 | 3:50 PM Psi43 says:

I'm gonna make a really great part with a lot of fbf and generic ng video game humor I promise!11

Oct. 26, 2007 | 5:03 PM Arkuni says:

Just completed it half an hour ago and started again on Legendary.

and what a coincidence, I told my friend yesterday that I would try to apply for TSAH3 if it were to be made... so... I think you know where I'm going with this.

Anyway, execpt an epic Master Chief from me in the near future :D

Oct. 26, 2007 | 6:13 PM Wonchop says:

So do they have to be fully tweenable models or something? Cos you know how rough those NG folks are about tweening. Not to mention that Master Chief has to be one of the most difficult characters to apply to different styles.

Oct. 26, 2007 | 6:19 PM PirateSprite says:

I wanna be in Tsa-hahahahhahaha nah even im too good for that shit

Oct. 26, 2007 | 6:21 PM white-darkness1 says:

Oct. 27, 2007 | 12:49 PM SamIam says:

I'll be sending over a Master Chief Model soon. I did have one which you can see in one of my flash "No frikkin games" although computer formatted and I don't have it so I'll create a new one.

Oct. 27, 2007 | 6:37 PM Splurda says:

Oct. 28, 2007 | 4:42 AM The-Swain says:

SFB Exclusive: Click the "Cartoon by Michael Swain" text to see a character from Detective Grimoire in awe of Blockhead's idiocy. :)

Oct. 28, 2007 | 9:04 AM The-Super-Flash-Bros responds:

Oct. 28, 2007 | 7:43 AM Splurda says:

Oct. 28, 2007 | 5:14 PM AloneInTheDark says:

Hey will there ever be another NGJAM? I know tommy used to organise them, but if you are ever hosting another, i'll definitely be a part of it. I think they were the most awesome collabs on this website

Oct. 28, 2007 | 7:19 PM The-Super-Flash-Bros responds:

Heya! yeah I'll get round to organising NGJam 4 again at some point. And yeah, you were already a part of it! ;)

Oct. 28, 2007 | 7:46 PM tyresemanboy says:

Oct. 30, 2007 | 5:52 PM CalebRS says:

Glad to see you're making animations again. I like your games and all that stuff, but I love your animations. I sent my model like 2 hours after I saw this.

Oct. 30, 2007 | 5:54 PM CalebRS says:

Oh, and one question, can we send more than one model?

Oct. 30, 2007 | 8:52 PM The-Super-Flash-Bros responds:

of course

Oct. 30, 2007 | 9:29 PM bicostp says:

I can't wait to see how this one comes out!

By the way, how's the forum situation looking?

Oct. 31, 2007 | 7:58 AM diamond-armada says:

Wow, this is gonna be sweet! I'm gonna be drawing a master chief now! lol one question. Is there any dead line to drawing these? also, when sending the .fla of Master Chief, can we make him do an action or something? not animated, but for example, a still editable picture of the master chief looking at cortanas tits and cortana shouting "YOU PERV!"? lol xP

Anyway, can't wait till TSAH3 :)

Oct. 31, 2007 | 4:17 PM Keith says:

that's awesome, i'm gonna work my ass off for this, i want this more then anyone so i really hope i make it in :D

Nov. 1, 2007 | 1:07 PM IcePyro says:

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Nov. 1, 2007 | 3:53 PM SCUD14 says:

yeah, ill send a try. Why the fuck not?

Nov. 1, 2007 | 4:09 PM Nicholas-Deary says:

OK, I sent my MC model in, hope you like it.

Nov. 1, 2007 | 5:02 PM Hoeloe says:

What if i want to join not to animate, but to script write wnd voice act, since my animation would never be good enough, but i can voice act and script write to some extent? How would i go about that?

Nov. 1, 2007 | 6:27 PM john010117 says:

I can't wait for TSAH3 to come out. But remember, don't rush!

Nov. 1, 2007 | 9:16 PM RubberNinja says:

Am I doing something?

I had no idea it was being announced.. In fact I had no idea this was happening until today.

Nov. 2, 2007 | 7:34 AM The-Super-Flash-Bros responds:

Haha, sorry! I kept trying to catch you on MSN to chat to you about it but with no avail. Obviously if you want to help out you're more than welcome and if you can do a part you've got instant access! It won't be happening for a while, I just wanted to say I am gonna make it and stop all the questioning emails! :P

I haven't even made MY character model yet!

Nov. 2, 2007 | 8:45 AM xthesnarfx says:

Sweet, I might have to try this, also whens the deadline?

Nov. 2, 2007 | 7:33 PM wolfinator-x says:

I love you man (men), keep a place for me! I'm bringin' you some Spartan graphics!!!

Nov. 3, 2007 | 5:12 AM mattloaf says:

Nov. 4, 2007 | 8:01 PM ZombieswithJetpacks says:

I'm making the ultimate model, its awsome.

Nov. 4, 2007 | 8:09 PM Dekuboy says:

It sounds great, I can't wait for TSAH3 to come out. Damn, I wish I had Flash...

Nov. 5, 2007 | 10:13 AM Absolutelynothing says:

Third time's the charm! :D

Nov. 5, 2007 | 12:55 PM Hoeloe says:

I'd like to know if i can voice act or script write WITHOUT submitting a MC model.

Nov. 5, 2007 | 3:53 PM jackash101 says:

Wow awesome, TSAH3, wow. I might try and make a Master Chief model, well, I already made one for a Halo flash I never did so if I spice that up a bit I'll send it in. :3

Nov. 5, 2007 | 7:23 PM KaynSlamdyke says:

My frail organic body will not be able to cope with this in any shape or form.
I'm staying well away from this. Best of luck to you though Dim. Hope something fantastic rises out of this little slice of chaos.

Nov. 6, 2007 | 7:35 PM The-Super-Flash-Bros responds:

Thanks for the kind words. Sure you don't want to give it a go?

Nov. 7, 2007 | 11:07 AM Josh-B says:

Might give it a try. But how do you know the person who made the model didn't just do a good job tracing, but can't animate well?

Nov. 7, 2007 | 12:24 PM stealthxtoons says:

hello what is the frame rate and stage size its IMPORTANT

Nov. 7, 2007 | 7:05 PM Josh-B says:

Err, the frame rate and stage size shouldn't be important yet, considering these are just models and not animations.

Nov. 12, 2007 | 9:04 PM Dekuboy says:

Iron Maiden rocks! WOO!

Nov. 14, 2007 | 12:34 PM asdfghk says:

Nov. 24, 2007 | 1:54 PM RKthrilla says:

do a barrel roll!

Nov. 27, 2007 | 4:53 PM Keith says:

I'm taking screenshots in the game then using them as a reference, i might change it up to make it a new style of master chief :)

Dec. 6, 2007 | 4:38 PM DaxterDude says:

There's something about Halo 3 will most definately be a smash hit.

My advice use great artists and lots of em.

Dec. 7, 2007 | 1:17 PM Powergames says:

i'd love to join but havce only played halo 1 + 2 - not halo 3

Dec. 9, 2007 | 10:58 PM tallgeast1195 says:

I have a question,
Will decline 4 EVER come?

Dec. 11, 2007 | 12:06 AM BMack24 says:

so i just had a great idea. you should make another 'ohmygodimonfire' joke involving the flamethrower or incendiary grenades.

but anyway, do we have a deadline for entering yet? not that someone like me who only has one crappy flash under his belt would get a part in it, but just thought i'd ask.

Dec. 16, 2007 | 6:20 AM Zergzealot says:

why can't both of you just make your own account?

Dec. 17, 2007 | 8:04 PM Draenokh says:

Hmm the movie seems to be rly long which mean it will be good YAY!!

Dec. 19, 2007 | 5:13 AM SaintStudios says:

Hey, is this still going on?

Dec. 19, 2007 | 3:35 PM theicecubeclock says:

i sent in my master chief model! its not as good as anything YOU've made, but its the best model ive ever made

Dec. 19, 2007 | 10:56 PM squeakytoad says:

You're selecting people based on character models? What about humor? Animating talent? Story-telling and parody abilities?

It almost seems like you just want to make TSAH3 for the sake of making it, as anything with MasterChief properly drawn in it will become a major success.

Also, the assuming of the series without even checking with Ross first is kinda lame.
