Hop Dop Diddly-op!

Posted by JAZZA Sep. 29, 2009 @ 6:45 AM EDT

.

well Hop Dop Diddly Op, flying over the tree tops
and everything's alright
Bada dadang doo the day's new, theres nothing anyone can do to
pull me out of flight, KakakaPOW
i'm a thousand miles above the ground
with the wind in my face
but looking ahead life throws a dead end
to put me in my place

So i say
So i say

Well hello wall! boy oh boy you're tall!
but i really don't give a damn!
you call me fat, short, ugly rough and say I'm not enough
but i'm fine just the way i am.

hop hop diddly op, it's a problem that we all got
that life can bring us down
bada dading doo, so don't you ever be the one who
lets that make you frown, coz
KakakaPOW you don't know how powerful
and special that you are
so smash those mirrors, break down the walls
and let this be the start

and just say
and just say

Well hello wall! boy oh boy you're tall!
but i really don't give a damn!
you call me fat, short, ugly rough and say "you're not enough"
but i'm fine just the way i am.

so i'm gonna say "it's a brand new day"
and the rest is history
i got a new best friend, til the very end
i'd like to introduce you to:
ME!

LA la la
whoa whoa whoa

CHORUS repeat

*BOW*

upcoming game and animation

Posted by JAZZA Sep. 24, 2009 @ 7:36 AM EDT

how was everyone's madness day?

thought I'd just update on the 2 projects i'm working on.

PROJECT ONE: ANIMATION
"Larry Episode 1"

Sample

coming along well, will be 10 minutes in length when finished.
all voice work done, working on animation and currently David Orr is doing the music.
current release date: mid-late October.

PROJECT TWO: GAME
"the KILL KAR 2: Revenge"

Sample

working with the amazing Digijin again! comming along well.
NOT to be compared to the first one, similar game play and idea but drastically changed. Levels are a LOT larger, enemies learn to fight back other features include:
- 4 boss levels
- 50 levels all together, 5 different themes
- fully customizable car with weaponry, skins, stats etc
- pickups and unlockables
- medals
- even a couple of NG cameos (start guessing)

release date is currently: October 14th

below is a little peak, showing the loader screen, it'll give you an idea as to how drastically improved the background textures alone are. check out the sample link just above to see an example car in a level. (all previews are subject to change)

NEW SERIES announcement

Posted by JAZZA Sep. 2, 2009 @ 10:21 PM EDT

Over the last year and a half while i have not been able to animate, i have still been planning and designing and scripting ready for when i can. I have planned and mapped out a new series, and this time (as opposed to the paladin series) I've got the plot ready from the first episode!

I've already designed HEAPS of characters, there's gonna be a big cast for this one, and it's a comedy series following Larry, the setting is fantasy medieval of course, and i've been animating it all week so far.

i'll be sure to keep you posted, as i'm working my patootie off to get you the best flash comedy i possibly can! If things go to plan, i hope to have this one ready to release before the end of September. I'll do my best.

For now, i have for you a screen-shot of the menu screen. YAAAAY.

Posted by JAZZA Aug. 28, 2009 @ 2:11 AM EDT

hey guys, this is a shameless plug, but for a reason.

Check out my brother's wicked cool new NG accountand art works

My brother is also a talented artist, we have very different styles but very similar tastes. always fun to have a rivalry between us growing up.

Well, go check him out, he's BRAND NEW to newgrounds, i convinced him to join because his deviant art page wasn't doing as well as it deserves, so go welcome him and tell him i'm more attractive *tee hee*

heres a sample:
(yes i get it, he's better then me, geez!)

I'm BAAACK

Posted by JAZZA Aug. 11, 2009 @ 3:11 AM EDT

so basically, i got knee surgery while on my mission and they sent me home to recover.

while i'm here for a few months before i go back out I'm keeping myself occupied writing music, teaching myself guitar (i even bought one, a Gibson les paul prophecy GX, niiice) and stuff.

but the thing i'm assuming would be of interest to newgrounders that care, i'll be working on a simple game that i hope to be quite addictive, featuring lots of my favorite things in games: UPGRADES. anyhow, more on that later, just thought i'd let ya'll know

viva la newgrounds

i'm getting knee surgery on the 6th of july for a conditions know and Osteochondritis Dissecans and i'll be out of action for a few months. no i'm not going home and no i'm not going to be animating, i'll be in an office for a while so whis means a couple of things:

1- i will be on a computer most of the time so i'll try and catch up on a few PM's... even though theres a lot.... *cough*
2- i have some art i've done while out here, sculptures i've taken photos of and drawings and stuff, so i can put them up on the sexy new art portal
3- i'll be in a significant amount of pain

GOODBYE

Posted by JAZZA Sep. 16, 2008 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Well this is it
all my stuff is packed, including computer, piano and drums. My bags are packed and they are heavy as hell, lol. I've said my goodbyes and here is my last one online:

GOODBYE NEWGROUNDS!

it's been an amazing experience. newgrounds alone has been the sole contributor in me being able to leave and do this missionary work, i would have had no job otherwise. HUGE thanks to Tom, all his amazing support and enthusiasm. Big thanks to all the animators and people who have inspired me. I really am gonna miss newgrounds, but for now i gotta move on.

I'll be back in two years, but until then no more animations or games coz i'll be hard at work trying to help people and what not lol. Thank you all so much for your support and love, keep it going coz i can't wait to come back to a newgroudns even fuller then it is now, of talent noise, and... genital humor? lol.

THANK YOU NEWGROUNDS and-
-Goodbye :)

BROTHERHOOD OF BATTLE released, plus VIDEO PROMO!

Posted by JAZZA Sep. 12, 2008 @ 8:20 PM EDT

YAAAY!!!

after 9, that's right, N-I-N-E months of continual work and development MOONKEY and I have finally finished the web-wide ready release of BROTHERHOOD OF BATTLE!!

Along with the release of our game I would like to take this opportunity to share with you a promo I made a while back, in which ia Hired a very famous voice-over actor, Don Lafontaine, to voice the promo. It cost a bundle, but i dont regret it as his voice is AMAZING... or was. see unfortunately, Don died early this september, so i would like to dedicate this video promo to the late great DON LAFONTAINE. rest in peace.

.

Well, i hope you can all go play brotherhood of battle, let moonkey and i know what you think!! oh, and GO THANK MOONKEY. seriously, he did SO much working and re-working in this process, he prolly feels like a 80 year old by now.

HAVE A NICE DAY!
