The reason of my frostation and the Sonic RPG stuff, AGAIN!

Posted by MidNightMaren Sep. 28, 2008 @ 7:38 AM EDT

First of all, for the ones unaware, here are links for my most recent animations:

Sonic RPG Episode 8

Ristar - Hero's Legacy Episode 1

Take a look to My DeviantArt Account!

And now back to business:
Many people have been claming for me to end the Sonic RPG series one and for all, but the fact is that you guys won't get anything from me, with those long and annoying asking!! And now you ask why! Why?? Ok, as you can see the "Sonic the Hedgehog" topic is getting frostating! And so are the sprites movies of him!
Now the fan of Blue Guy don't care about a good storyline or interactivity, but are ALWAYS comparings the movies to those of Alvin Earthworm! Ok, lets stop here to talk about this... I'm NOT compared to Alvin in ANY way! I started my sprites animation much sooner than him, besides I'm not making DBZ fighting movies with crazy explosions and BANG BANG, DEAD! That simply isn't me!
But don't get my wrong! I like his work and he is EXTREMELLY skilled in Flash movies. But everyone stop making comments like "you have reached Alvin' level" or "you and Alvin should work together", lets not mix things! I'm more of a gamer than a DBZ movie animator! Ok?! Thank you!
About Sonic, things are getting serious, and BAD and the reasons are obvious! I've been roaming in NG and came to discover that my fellows sprite animators have the same idea as myself! With no words I simply leave you with this Vixin-McCloud Post! You sure know her, don't ya? The old and legendary Sonic VS Super Sonic series? Ok, thats a WHY for us to stop giving Sonic attention!

But thats not my only reason. Latelly there are so many people using Sonic for stupid flash's, wasting that little space in the watcher's brain saying "Patience"
And thats in such a large scale that my last Sonic RPG didn't even made to the Sonic Collection! And why? Because the Sonic Collection is completelly OVERLOADED!
People, as I said before, Sonic is DIEING, and to think that SEGA; producing those crapy new games and stealing his original voice to give him a stupid 4Kids voice actor; is the only one killing him, YOU ARE WRONG! Sonic is being killed by HIS OWN FANS! Just ignore Sonic for a while, get a girl friend, drink some cold beer, come back in a few months or years and in time you'll see that our Blue Guy comes in its full glory!!

For now, let just be said, NO MORE SONIC MOVIES FROM ME! At the least not for a while! So stop PMing asking for Sonic RPG Eps 9!
I just wished this topic would be read by lots of people and spread! Well, whatever...

Some Questions ALWAYS MADE related to me!

Q.: When will next Sonic RPG\Ristar be out?

A.: Just go above and get your answer for Sonic! Most commun answer for other: DONT KNOW YET!!!

Q.: Where did you got those sound effects?

A.: Well, I think I'm pretty explicite in the credits! Each game that is shown in the credits of my movies, JUST GET THEM for PC and search for sound effects on the game's folders!
And talking about sound, the musics I use in movies ARE ALWAYS IN THE CREDITS! Don't PM me asking which music is this or that, please...

Q.: How do you make games like Sonic RPG and Ristar's Legacy?
A.: Well, lets see... Can't explain! Only someone who worked with Flash like for 2-3years know how to use ActionScript properly. Don't know what ActionScript is? Then don't even make this question!

Q.: What programs do you use?
A.: Macromedia Flash 8, and NO its not downloadable! I use Cool Edit Pro to edit music and such!

Q.: Can you teach me how to use Flash?
A.: NO! First, I learned how to use flash ALONE, then I was teached some ActionScript from Acid_Shiver, my long lost fellow... So, just learn by yourself first!

Thats most of it

Hope I cleared everyone's clouds about some topics. And now that I'm done... Take Care!

1ª-sei que toda a gente fica chateada com isso.
2ª-se tu fizeste sozinho eu tmb ei de fazer.
há e esquecime de dizer: BOM TRABALHO COM O RISTAR.

Ya, it was...


Sep. 28, 2008 | 12:43 PM Sodaku says:

I totally agree with you. Well sonic ain't dying but it true that sega is making sonic games even suckier. Many people really like sonic. I know that u are like vixin-mccloud. I remember when I saw her nezt flash still annoyed i sad This sucks when will S vd SS4 come out. thne she responded it was like this topic. Then I decides to say sorry and I promised i would never blam a video thats not a famous sonic flash. RIstar is cool. Can't w8 for Rist ep 2 or sonic ep 9.

Sodaku

Sep. 28, 2008 | 12:47 PM MidNightMaren responds:

You should never blam without proper reasons. Its still very good you changed!

Thanks a lot for your suport!


Sep. 28, 2008 | 1:28 PM Weapon2 says:

I understand and i agree with your anger for people urging you to make sonic rpg, let me say this to them, SEE NEWGROUND USERS? HE'S GETTIN TIRED OF SONIC NOW!!!! STOP URGING HIM TO MAKE SONIC RPG OR WHATNOT. YOU'LL DRIVE HIS BRAIN NUTS OR SOMETHIN or worse. i agree with your post. alvin-earthworm sucked anyway, his youtube poops are like 6-5 yr old cartoons that suck. so i'm stickin to your ristar rpg 100 % of the way, hope to see more (although i didn't play episode 1 yet lol, i will). Please respond

Good luck working on part 2 ^_^

Sep. 28, 2008 | 3:55 PM MidNightMaren responds:

No, Alvin is a great Flash Animator. "sucked", thats not what I meant.

Sonic just needs his time to get up once again! Thanks man!


Sep. 28, 2008 | 8:12 PM Weapon2 says:

What do you mean by get up?

Sep. 29, 2008 | 9:28 AM MidNightMaren responds:

What I mean in my post! Sonic is just like... down in his life. so he just needs to get on his knees again!


Sep. 29, 2008 | 12:48 AM captainamagai91 says:

hey midnightmaren

I just have to say i enjoy the rpg's you've made over the couple of years. I know you do get a lot of this, but you do have a point SEGA is possibly destroying sonic's reputation from 1990's to the current present today. I may not make sense but oh well. I respect you of what you are doing and wish you good luck in the future with whatever you do. I only made an account to simply write i should say. Good luck man

P.S man i love bleach too, I love how you used Bleach's music in some of the RPGS

Sep. 29, 2008 | 9:29 AM MidNightMaren responds:

Thanks a lot for your suport man! I really appreaciate it!
Yes, bleach rules XD


Sep. 29, 2008 | 7:23 AM hsonicshadow says:

ó pesadelo de meia-noite, XD, deviamos fazer um clube eu ,tu ,o sodaku e o weapon.
era o grupo da destruição XD

Sep. 29, 2008 | 9:30 AM MidNightMaren responds:

clube de kê meu? XD


Sep. 29, 2008 | 11:15 AM Weapon2 says:

Also, Arnas's flashes are full of sonic movies, for instance sonic syynthe world or somethin, now THAT'S a example of why sonic should get a break. and sonic volume too! They just won't shut up about him and move on.

Sep. 29, 2008 | 12:31 PM MidNightMaren responds:

Yop... I really haven't seen Arnas for a long time!
I really don't like movies with a whole Sonic fan-Characters... its quite annoying, but ohh anyway... who am I to judge...


Sep. 29, 2008 | 11:24 AM D33isme says:

yo i know what u mean i see it all the time it sayes what songs thar are but every body asks "ummmmmmmm what song was a the 2 minits in?" its retarded anyway i just whated to say im a big fan and if anyone whats to see how you have improved thay shoud play sonic rpg 1 than sonic rpg 8 anyway i relly just whanted to say gr8 job

Sep. 29, 2008 | 12:32 PM MidNightMaren responds:

Thanks a lot


Sep. 29, 2008 | 1:20 PM ZureTheDarkBeing says:

Of what I observed so far, there are a lot more FF or Halo freaks out there rather than Sonic fanatics. This may not apply to newgrounds but who actually looks forward to new Sonic games? You always have this "mediocre again?" thought in your mind. At least I had it when they announced Secret Rings and later on Unleashed.

I also hate it that people compare sprite movies with Alvin's work. Yes yes, I know his skills are far beyond many sprite animators'. However Proxicide's are as well and nobody mentions him in any way because it was Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, not Mario and Sonic. People just love being Shadow fanboys. If there was a one-dimensional, calm, black, partly evil character with a "sad" background story which goes into ridiculousness *cough* aliens *cough* in SF or MK, I am certain Proxi's work get more attention, simply because of fanboys.
=/
By the way, how many pms do you receive per day from people asking about Sonic RPG 9? I can imagine at least 5 per day. =P

Sep. 29, 2008 | 1:30 PM MidNightMaren responds:

Yes... Proxicide... I love his work! Each of is flash movies are a total master piece! A candy to the eye!
Emo Fan-boys.... whatever!

Not really, this have calmed down since.

Thanks

sorry to botter you with sonic again :P

Sep. 29, 2008 | 4:33 PM MidNightMaren responds:

No, I'll eventually end it someday. But it won't ever have a release date!
Well, what Shadow saw will be a mystery till the very end XD

Thanks

P.S-vais chorar de alegria logo depois de ler isto.

Sep. 30, 2008 | 11:53 AM MidNightMaren responds:

:) Obrigadao man!
Espero que tenhas razao e k toda esta gente continue comigo!


Sep. 30, 2008 | 10:58 AM Shadic93 says:

You're right: you and Alvin are nothing alike. You finish your flashes. His last flash was a trailer. I understand your frustration. But you should at least make a trailer for the last Sonic RPG yo let everybody know you had'nt given up on the series. As for Ristar- A Hero's Legacy I could give you some ideas for the series. Leave a messasge.

Sep. 30, 2008 | 11:56 AM MidNightMaren responds:

Thanks. No, I'm not making a trailer. But to think that each flash movie I make I become more and more "pro" at flash!
As I say, life is a RPG, each time I make a flash I gain more experience! In the time I make my last Sonic RPG, it will be a great movie, beleive me.

Thanks, but as I said to "bfgooo" for now, i'll use my own ideas!


Oct. 3, 2008 | 12:36 AM imac007 says:

hey guys m haveing a pic kontest kome to my page for details


Oct. 4, 2008 | 1:01 PM hsonicshadow says:

está muito bom, mas olha, não estou a dizer que prefiro os flashes deles do que os teus XD

Oct. 4, 2008 | 6:49 PM MidNightMaren responds:

Deixa te disso! LOL!
Mas esta, ta mesmo muito bom. O gajo sem duvida nunca deixa d me impressionar


Oct. 4, 2008 | 4:34 PM Shadic93 says:

Ladies and gentlemen, Alvin-Earthworm is back.

Oct. 5, 2008 | 1:34 AM bfgooo says:

ou :( i want to tell you about that... alvin is back... but someone do it first :P
jaja


Oct. 7, 2008 | 6:35 PM theman223 says:

okay dude i understand u frostration and all but i suggest getting it over with now by making the sonic game then bringing ur frostration back in a year or two u catch my drift its just one last episode


Oct. 11, 2008 | 5:06 AM bfgooo says:

how are you man???... :P almost one weak and no one is botering you here :P


Oct. 17, 2008 | 6:05 PM Zerofc says:

I agree with you about to much sonic lol but I am not completely quitting sonic lol I just don't much of his games.... and I like your style since you focus on rpg so I really don't think rpg and DBZ style will even fit together it is almost like impossible

Oct. 18, 2008 | 10:57 AM MidNightMaren responds:

Thats a good point of viewing XP


Oct. 18, 2008 | 11:11 AM NovallyBlur says:

um when will Seelkadoom's sprite sheet come out?

Oct. 19, 2008 | 10:48 AM MidNightMaren responds:

Dont know


Oct. 18, 2008 | 11:22 PM D33isme says:

*sigh...* i respect u but at this rate NO ONE will b makeing sprite movies on new grounds and u are the creater of one of my favert sprite... o well life goes on *sigh*

Oct. 19, 2008 | 10:48 AM MidNightMaren responds:

I'm not saying to stop making Sprite movies. I'm saying we should stop making more and more Sonic movies and give attention to other characters...


Oct. 20, 2008 | 12:54 AM imac007 says:

hey guess wut ... im haveing a CONTEST and any one can join so dont miss it


Oct. 22, 2008 | 7:28 PM azzo9 says:

would you like to join my clan.


Oct. 23, 2008 | 4:44 PM Shadic93 says:

Everyone has their own style of flash making, I guess. You'res is very extrodinary.

P.S. If you're gonna make Sonic RPG, make it after New Years if you want.


Oct. 25, 2008 | 4:52 PM SuperMarioBrosS says:

I'm a die-hard fan of Sonic and I do love Alvin's movies, but I don't compare his work with yours. I love your movies as well and the interactivity makes it more distinct than Alvin's SMBZ series. The thing is, I don't think Sonic is dying. Sure the Sonic X stuff sucks, however, his lastest game, SRZG I think is pretty good. The Secret Rings, I admit, sucks. Sonic should get up and hopefully Unleashed and Black Knight raises his glory.


Oct. 31, 2008 | 11:01 PM Arthuria99 says:

lol
i can't understand why sonic rpg 8
didn't get any award


Nov. 2, 2008 | 9:58 PM imac007 says:

hey did u die

Nov. 3, 2008 | 7:36 PM MidNightMaren responds:

Not really XD


Nov. 3, 2008 | 10:45 AM Liager-the-hedgehog says:

in my opinion sonics not going down..i cant say that sonics wii debut was very good but his 360/ps3 debut i enjoyed even though silver the hedgehog is an annoying character.anyway his recent games have been more o the standards we blue boy fans expect..sonics newest DS title the dark chronicles is marvelous..i have yet to put it down! but you cant be pressured into making your sonic series as people should understand you put effort and time into your work and if you choose to take a break from 1 series to try your hand at another that is your choice! im a big fan of the sonic rpg series and i completed your newest flash the ristar rpg and they are both marvelous pieces of work! people shouldnt compare you to alvin earthworm aswell..your flash is unique..and his work is amazing but you both use different styles! hope to see more of your ristar work in the future..yours liager

Nov. 3, 2008 | 7:38 PM MidNightMaren responds:

Thanks! I really enjoyed this comment!
I'm yet to play that Sonic RPG game for DS


Nov. 4, 2008 | 6:58 PM StarSonic says:

dude when will Sonic RPG episode 9 be finish and is the persent on it anyways?


Nov. 5, 2008 | 7:14 PM Shadic93 says:

Hey man if you ever make Ristar-ep 2 or Sonic RPG 9, try looking at the new official Sonic RPG- Sonic-The Dark Chronicles.


Nov. 6, 2008 | 3:59 PM illingworthproducts says:

I am really glad to see your doing good with your work, I like that new Rister animation its really cool, and dont sweat about Sonic RPG its a great animation and I really weanna see the ending but just take your time if you dont wanna complete it your choice man but I do really wanna see it. And I really understand where you coming from that the fact sonix being killed but he ahs been killed for years because of Sehas new games, but I miss alot of old Sonic animations aswell and some now have chanegd alot but what ever just good luck.


Nov. 10, 2008 | 11:15 AM sharuto123 says:

well i know what u mean about sonic dying but damn, i liked since i was a little kid so i am a little sad about all that, i mean ive played and seen ur and vixin mccluds stuff since i was a KID! but then again im over with my sonic obbsession, now its about Naruto LOL, and yeah im with you about sega make his games suck, ya sonic dx and heroes were nice but since then sega started to make suck-ish sonic games, so they ARE using nice graphics and stuff but it lacks story and gameplay, these days its just getting bad, and sonic is their MASCOT!! hes the one who brought them all the fame and fortune!! its like stabbing all the sonic fans in the back!

Nov. 10, 2008 | 12:19 PM MidNightMaren responds:

Thanks for the motivation and thanks for understanding my point of view


Nov. 10, 2008 | 12:28 PM sharuto123 says:

np man! anyway no matter sonic rpg or no iil support ur games cus their cool lol :D
but still im pretty sad, played rpg since im little LOL


Nov. 15, 2008 | 7:28 PM Shadic93 says:

Hey man Shadic93 here. Just wondering if your still alive.

Nov. 20, 2008 | 12:03 PM MidNightMaren responds:

I sure am!


Nov. 21, 2008 | 5:36 AM ultimatedarklord says:

Hi,earthling.It's me,your greatest reviewer and RPG fan.I really liked the first episode of Ristar:Hero's legacy.I don't think Sonic is dying,he is just losing his reputaion by those new games being realased like Sonic and the Secret rings.I've never played it but I read about it in Wikipedia and it sucks man.I hope,atleast you can finish off this series and then go finish the last one(I hope you do the same).
I do agree that you and Alvin can NEVER work together,a RPG game and a DBZ movie together can never make a good flash.I really hope I can make good games like you.

Nov. 21, 2008 | 7:58 PM MidNightMaren responds:

Hey there!
Thats one the reasons I think he's dyin... Never played it either, but I read its really a mess...
Thanks


Nov. 21, 2008 | 8:23 AM Shadic93 says:

Thank goodness. Are you gonna put up a new post anytime soon?

Nov. 22, 2008 | 11:50 AM MidNightMaren responds:

Maybe


Nov. 22, 2008 | 9:36 AM ultimatedarklord says:

BTW Check my DA account http://ulitmatedarklord.deviantart.co m/


Nov. 25, 2008 | 8:53 AM sharuto123 says:

hi, sharuto123(da spammer lol) here, again. it seems that the new title in sonic, "Sonic Unleashed", is the light in the end of the tunnel for sonic fans, well maybe it IS, idk cus i dont have a wii, I DONT EVEN HAVE(or had) PLAYSTATION 1! well anyway, maybe this is what will bring Sonic RPG to life, maybe... anyway maybe not so, u tell me what u think :D


Nov. 25, 2008 | 10:22 PM SuperMarioBrosS says:

Dude, even though Sonic's games sucks now, I don't think that he is dying. You got to give Sonic 100% credit for games like Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic CD (best ever) and Sonic 3 & Knuckles since those games were sweet. The Sonic Advance series were also good as well. Also, give some credit for Sonic Heroes since that was decent and Gamespot, whom hates 3D Sonic games, gave it a 'good' rating. Unleashed is making Sonic regain his glory and making him get up and Black Knight will reinforce it as well (hopefully). Please respond.

Dec. 5, 2008 | 1:32 PM MidNightMaren responds:

Ohh well, I'm not talking about the old school games. For sure, that was a great era!
Sonic Unleashed is messed up cos of the Werehog crap transformation, which doent suit Sonic world in any way... Well, anyway, I'm not in a Sonic side now, so I'll just keep my opinion


Nov. 30, 2008 | 3:55 AM ultimatedarklord says:

Can you please see my review for Sonic RPG eps 5?

Dec. 5, 2008 | 1:32 PM MidNightMaren responds:

I always check the reviews


Dec. 1, 2008 | 5:47 PM FireDraco says:

"Q.: What programs do you use?
A.: Macromedia Flash 8, and NO its not downloadable!"

Not downloadable? Then how come I downloaded it and now make mini animation with it?
I never herd it wasn't downloadable...

Dec. 5, 2008 | 1:33 PM MidNightMaren responds:

The thing is that I can't just leave here a link for its download! Is copyrighted content. Besides a original copy of Flash is really expensive you know?


Dec. 4, 2008 | 4:15 PM ule says:

hey u r my favorite flsh producer
visit my page ule.newgrounds.com
hey TAKE A REST its not obligatory that
u have to do all that animations

Dec. 5, 2008 | 1:33 PM MidNightMaren responds:

Thanks


Dec. 6, 2008 | 3:08 PM Shadic93 says:

I finally figured out you're catchphrase:

"Life is an RPG"

It makes sense now.

Eu gostaria de falar minha idea para Sonic RPG 9. Eu até criei o título : the adventure ends in Herbegitan. Posso falar minha idea?
