Newgrounds Pass 3

Thanks to the NGP fans out there for your the support and I'm glad you guys liked the 3rd and last installment of the series. It's been over a year since Newgrounds Pass was released and it's been awesome developing the sequels ever since.

Oh yeah, Newgrounds Pass 3 is up for monthly voting this month, so if you are able to vote this month and you've enjoyed the game, then you could support it by giving it a vote :D

Other Projects

Very soon I'm going to have to put the laptop away and study more for my January exams. But afterwards I've got some good stuff planned. For one, I've already been developing a new Madness game since October (don't worry, it will be way better than Madness Interface) which will be out in a couple of months. I'll be making some more whacking parodies or stuff as usual and also, me and Morrowdays should be making an Art based game at some point too.

thanks, bye.

Tricky stole my jukebox.

Hey, for all of you who have been asking me for help about how to get the 'Click, click, click...' achievement, on level 27 of Newgrounds Pass 3. I have made a short video which I hope will help you out in obtaining it. You can just open up the game and click along with the video until you get it right.

Also, the video contains the password for level 27, so if you don't want to know the password, then don't watch the video.

Finally after about 5 months, Newgrounds Pass 3 is out for you to all enjoy.

Anyway, it is a tradition that every time a Newgrounds Pass game comes out, I make a little leaderboard to showcase the users who are smart and skillful enough to complete the game before the rest.

How's things going with you guys?

Newgrounds Pass 3
A lot of stuff has happened in regards to the production of the game. For a start, knugen had to drop out of coding because he won't be having the internet on his home computer for a few months. Coolio-Niato then filled in for knugen and coded a good portion of the game including: the achievement system, 3 levels of the game and finished off the load/save profile system. As I mentioned before in another post, due to lack of time and knowledge of a cheap server to use, I decided to scrap the idea of having a chatroom; it would of been cool, but oh well.

Anyway, as of now the game is actually finished, in fact all of the levels of the game and the menu have been done for about a month now, but I (with advice from Coolio) have been trying to fix a bunch of glitches. There are still some big glitches to overcome, but the game will be coming out pretty soon now, for sure.

My Madness Day Flash
For Madness Day this year, I've decided to make a movie using a variety of cool techniques. The movie is going pretty well at the moment, I've got about 1 minute so far and I plan to make about another minute and a bit more before the 22nd.

Enjoy the NGP3 screenie below and watch out for my upcoming stuff!

Newgrounds Pass 3 Finished, Madness Day Flash...


Posted by M4KBOT - June 16th, 2008


This is the official Newgrounds Pass 3 Log, where I will display the progress of the game throughout it's production, the log will be updated every Tuesday.

Important News:

If you guys have seen DreamworX's(now known as knugen) latest news post, you will know that he is the main coder for the game. He will be in charge of creating the intergrated chatroom in the game, the saving system, some mini game coding and general NGP3 shenanigans! So NGP3 should be a lot more advanced than the previous two games.

Screenshots:

Secret area preview
Menu Preview
Level Preview

Total Progress:

9/2/08 - 30/30 levels complete. There are still a bunch of glitches which are difficult to solve. Shouldn't be long though.
Level Progress: [++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++] (100.00%) OMG!

2/2/08 - 30/30 levels complete. Polishing off the achievement system and the secret areas, it will be out very soon.
Level Progress: [++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++] (100.00%) OMG!

26/8/08 - 30/30 levels complete. Some crazy stuff happened, anyway, the game will be out in a few days.
Level Progress: [++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++] (100.00%) OMG!

19/8/08 - 30/30 levels complete: 25 levels need to be approved by knugen, 9 levels need to be further coded by knugen). There is some good news and bad news. The bad news is that the Chatroom feature probably will not happen anymore, this is because they require a server, all the servers we looked at either cost loads of money to run or they use AS3 (we are using AS2). Also, knugen's internet connection is going offline on Monday next week due to the fact that he is trying to get a better service provider. Anyway, that means that knugen has to finish all of his coding parts in like 5 days, which is tight, so he really doesn't have time to finish the chat. The good news is that the game could be released some time next week, providing that people are willing to help me beta test it. Oh yeah, an there's going to be downloadable content!
Level Progress: [++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++] (100.00%) OMG!

12/8/08 - 25/30 levels complete: (19 levels need to be approved by knugen, 7 levels needs to be further coded by knugen). THE END IS NEAR!
Level Progress: [+++++++++++++++++++++++++=====] (83.33%)

5/8/08 - 19/30 levels complete: (17 levels need to be approved by knugen, 5 levels needs to be further coded by knugen). Waiting for knugen to come back online, then we can finish this.
Level Progress: [+++++++++++++++++++===========] (63.33%)

29/7/08 - 19/30 levels complete: (17 levels need to be approved by knugen, 5 levels needs to be further coded by knugen). Things are coming along great now, I still have a bunch of other ideas for new levels. I'm hoping at this rate the game will be out by late August. Sorry, for the late progress entry, I was on holiday and couldn't get to the internet.
Level Progress: [+++++++++++++++++++===========] (63.33%)

22/7/08 - 14/30 levels complete: (12 levels need to be approved by knugen, 4 levels needs to be further coded by knugen). Progress is picking up fast now, the good ideas for levels are starting to come into my mind. Sorry, for the late progress entry, I was on holiday and couldn't get to the internet.
Level Progress: [++++++++++++++================] (46.66%)

15/7/08 - 8/30 levels complete: (6 levels need to be approved by knugen, 1 level needs to be further coded by knugen). Still slow progress, but I'm off school now so I can work on the game more.
Level Progress: [++++++++======================] (26.66%)

8/7/08 - 7/30 levels complete: (6 levels need to be approved by knugen, 1 level needs to be further coded by knugen). Sorry guys, things have been really hectic recently, knugen doesn't seem to have the internet up and running (because of the whole moving house thing xD), Morrowdays and I are wrapping up the Cardboard City Collab and I still have to do some artwork for the collab's preloader game coded by non other than Coolio-Niato. I'm still at school and have to do some coursework already, also I've been employed by Xceed as a pixel artist for a massive RPG game he is hoping to release in the near future. Don't worry, I'll still be working hard on NGP3 as well ;)
Level Progress: [+++++++=======================] (23.33%)

1/7/08 - 7/30 levels complete: (6 levels need to be approved by knugen, 1 level needs to be further coded by knugen). Things are running smoother now, the chatroom is almost finished according to knugen, who is moving house at the moment and it's just a case of completing these levels and the all important secret areas.
Level Progress: [+++++++=======================] (23.33%)

24/6/08 - 3/30 levels complete: (3 levels need to be approved by knugen). I have finished the achievement layout and graphics, Knugen has begun coding the achievement system. The layout is coming along nicely as well. The menu is fully fnished as well and I have started work on the secret areas.
Level Progress: [+++===========================] (10.00%)

17/6/08 - 3/30 levels complete: (3 levels need to be approved by knugen). I have mainly been working on the layout and thinking about possible levels. Meanwhile, knugen has been working on the chatroom and he has finished the saving system.
Level Progress: [+++===========================] (10.00%)

Blog:

I started the production of NGP3 about 2 weeks ago, by making the menu screen. Then I 'attempted' to code the saving system but failed. I asked knugen for some coding help and he ended up helping me so much that he became the main coder for the game. Anyway, from now onwards, we will work together to create the most exciting, entertaining and versatile Newgrounds Pass sequel ever. I'm not sure when the game will be done, probably 2 months at least. stay tuned for more updates.

Exams Over!
That's right, my exams are over for another year so I can focus making Flash and playing video games =D

Newgrounds Pass 3
Yes, it is happening, I will be spending a lot of time on this project, adding a lot of new features which were not included in the original two. Before you guys say: "NGP3?! But you've ran out of levels to use!" I will be using the old NG levels and maybe some old style design to take a look back into the older days of NG. So hold tight, I will be making a news post log which will be updated every Saturday.

On the subject of the Newgrounds Pass games, if any of you have a minutes spare, it would be much appreciate if you would recommend NGP1 and NGP2 to the Puzzle and Newgrounds collections, thanks!

100th Submission
It's been more than 2 years but it's nearly time for my 100th submission to NG. I'll be spent a little while making that one. I've got a really good idea for it, but I'm keeping it a secret for the moment.

Now time for some video fun!

Edit: You guys can stop flaming me for supporting a collab which in your opinion is unoriginal, I'm just helping out a friend.

Ok so my good ol' pal YK-Blaze has been hosting a SSBB fighting collab in the Flash forum for a little while now. He hopes to submit the collab soon, but we need more people to participate. so if you're good with sprites/animation in general and want to give it a shot, FOLLOW THIS LINK, yo.

I'll look forward to seeing you there.

I spent good amount of time today giving the MorrowDearyProduction website a good redesign. I've basically (using the Freewebs web tools, lol) changed the template and redone all of the images and added new links and even a bit of flash for good measure. Go check it out, yo.
