NanoSoft's News

Posted by NanoSoft - May 25th, 2022


Hey NG, these are some of my current projects as of this writing:


  • The Collab me and a few others are working on
  • The 500 subscriber YT and 100 fan NG specials (got no idea what to do for those yet lol)
  • Megaman X vs. Zombies 7
  • Bionicle sprite animation #2
  • Axl vs. Silver the Hedgehog
  • 8 bit Megaman sprite animation


As you can see, a lot of stuff. I tend to jump in between projects and start new ones frequently. Hope at least some of these end up seeing the light of day, we'll see

Only 2 of my 38 submissions are showing up on my Movies page, any insights into this and a solution would be appreciated.

Hey NG! This is to inform y'all that I found and bought a Newgrounds Tankman plushie I found in the mall lol!

There is the iconic Tankman, holding a 'nade and smiling at me which eventually enticed me to buy him! I just...found it so odd to see him there as a plushie in 2022 but it did intrigue me.

Hey NG, work has started on the final episode of the sprite animation crossover series of Megaman X and Plants vs. Zombies, Megaman X vs. Zombies 7! This episode will conclude this series that's been ongoing since 2011. It's been a journey working on it through all that time, but now is the time to end it while the passion for it is still there. In the future I may revisit ideas from this first webseries in future material, but I want the core series to end on a definitive note with this episode.


In other news, still working on updating my NG with the uploads, the next one being Megaman X vs. Zombies 6. So there is that

Hey NG, sorry for being behind on the uploads here! I'm more active on Youtube these days so the uploading schedule screwed up with me and on this site. I will probably upload some of the recent animations to here even though I made them some time ago...so once that's rectified, I'll try to upload to YT and NG around the same time so as to keep the uploads between the sites consistient...so that's that :'D

Hey NG! Today is my birthday. Also...


Megaman X vs. Zombies 7


This is a project that I invision making when I get super good with sprite animations...I have basic ideas for how it would go but I really want to end this over 10 year old sprite animation series on a bang...tbh I don't know if I can pull it off with my current skill level. I want to get better with sprites but I lost my way with sprite animation...so for now, this project is still in the planning phases but it is something I want to do eventually.


Flash Forward Jam 2022


To be more active on Newgrounds, my original online home for creative endeavors...I may unofficially participate in the Flash Forward Jam 2022! I have a project that has interactive menus and whatnot...but it uses sprites so I don't think I can enter the contest officially. However, the project I did test several times in Ruffle and I optimized it for it so even if I forfeit prizes, I'd still like to contribute to this site with it


Misc.


There is this pervasive feeling that my main era with sprite animations is done, that I peaked two years ago and that I've been growing more complacent with my sprite animations. People these days make way better quality animations than with my current techniques...I learned my methods such a long time ago that I'm due for refreshers on how to sprite animate with modern techniques...I wish I can re learn how to sprite animate. So if you feel that I've been slowing down in sprite animation output...that's why. I don't want to abandon you people without any notice or anything so I'm trying to remain transparent with y'all.


I hope any who read this far or in general that your day is pleasant as well! ^_^

Hey Newgrounds! I forgot that I've been on here, on this account, for over a decade now! The original date I made this account was August 19, 2011. I'd like to think I've grown in my time publishing sprite animations to here! I encourage all my fans, longtime and new, to respond to this with your favorite memory of one or more of my works, and if you're reading this fresh, welcome as well!


Take care,

-Nano

Hey Newgrounds! Nano here. I'd like to make this annoucement to recruit sprite animators for the Megaman X4 Boss Fight collab! These are the rules of the collab, except any character/s can be used.

Hey Newgrounds!

Llama got your attention? Sure hope it did!


I'd like to use this post to shout out my Discord server, where sprite animators, other creatives, and anyone interested in joining can relax, share WIPs, get feedback, maybe make friends! https://discord.gg/beWwRJk If you're a fan of my works, you can see WIPs of upcoming projects!


Also, would like to talk more about Megaman X vs. Zombies 3, my favorite animation I made to date!



So I originally started working on it around the time the series was still new. First episode came out in 2011, 2nd in 2012, and worked on 3 in 2015 ish. Unfortunately, computer got corrupted and the work efforts on the most recent version of the file went with it. So that version of the episode, unfortunately got scrapped. You can try to see what was left of it over here! https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/698053 Even though it was devastating to lose all the progress on that version of the episode...I still wanted to move forward with the series...so I focused on honing my battle animation skills with the following animations after that beta version of Megaman X vs. Zombies 3 was published. Many animations later, in 2019, I finally buckled down to spend some 6 months working on a revamped, action packed, grand in scale Megaman X vs. Zombies 3! I'd work on it daily, syncing the files between my laptop and desktop at home to never lose pace working on it. Of course, there were many times where I was gonna give up on it and quit making it. Thankfully those times passed, and onwards I pressed to realize Megaman X vs. Zombies 3. At one point, it was gonna feature a part animated from one of my fans! This is the part! https://youtu.be/KGZ_uYjb_co

Also, as the animation was nearing like 75%, I made this iMovie trailer to explain the plot of the episode, as the episode itself was so grand in scale with the war against the Zombies that there was no spoken dialogue in the actual episode itself https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/736431


It was sad to stop working on Megaman X vs. Zombies 3. It was really hard but ambitious to make. I hope the epic shines through from it, and that it and the series as a whole brings smiles to people's faces.



Regardless of if you never watched this before or have already, I hope you take this chance to see Megaman X vs. Zombies 3 once more! :D


Cheers,

-Nano
