Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

private BETA testing begins in a week or so (the participants are selected, no more soz) and because i'm a sucker for giving away previews and stuff, i decided to let you all know, from now until the release of the PALADIN game, I will share a screenshot of the game with you for every page that the paladin progress thread increases in page size.

i've revealed for now that page 8 will show a dragon, 9 will show radiel and kognor, and 10 will be a video sample.

So, if you're interested, Get posting! and GET EXITED! I am really pumped to be making a game of this size (it's huge, trust me) and i get a buzz every time I play it. Really though, all props to Moonkey for his super amazing coding work. he's a champion

For those who care to see the previous screenshot's ive given, see them below rather then combing through all those forum pages.

1 - young Auron in training
2 - undead giant
3 - (test level) Auron in test room
4 - undead decapitation!
5 - Auron and Melahn attacking skeletons
6 - Auron defending against undead fortress
7 - Auron casting 'Judgement'

well good luck guys, and thanks for all your support and interest so far. I leave you with a sample menu for the Paladin Game!

Wow! This looks awesome!! Never played those games though...

Dec. 1, 2007 | 5:13 PM SamIam says:

Looks (Insert Godly Word here)

You have out done yourself, this game is worth that wait!

Dec. 1, 2007 | 9:59 PM JAZZA responds:

haha thank you. i really look foreward to letting people see/play this game

Dec. 1, 2007 | 5:34 PM molkman says:

You're giving away info based on the amount of comments your stuff gets? Seriously, wow... :/

Dec. 1, 2007 | 10:00 PM JAZZA responds:

its a 'reward' for getting exitement building. plus its a reason for me to sahre some goodies. sorry if you see that as a bad thing

Dec. 1, 2007 | 6:27 PM R3zz3r says:

OMG WHENS IT COMIN OUT!!!!!!!!!!

Dec. 1, 2007 | 10:00 PM JAZZA responds:

december (mid)

Dec. 1, 2007 | 7:12 PM americanidiot2f says:

OMG, it look so awesome!!!
but please, for the sake of my computer, add a low quality option =)

Dec. 1, 2007 | 10:01 PM JAZZA responds:

it will prolly be low quality by default. its pretty intense

Dec. 1, 2007 | 7:36 PM Emanhattan says:

way to go your awesome man. i consider you the 3rd or second best flash animater ever.

Dec. 1, 2007 | 10:01 PM JAZZA responds:

haha i appreciate that muchly

Dec. 1, 2007 | 8:20 PM catman03 says:

Never before, aside from Madness, has an epic series of newgrounds fame made the transition to game form. And (no offense to Krinkels) your work far exceeds the quality of anything from Madness. I look foward to playing this game many times.

Dec. 1, 2007 | 10:03 PM JAZZA responds:

lol thank you. although i dontconsider myself a newgrounds 'great' of those i still look up to (adam phillips, james farr, look at my favs list for more)

but i get a HUGE buz from watching and playing and witnessing it all come to life

Dec. 1, 2007 | 10:12 PM GenArmegeddon says:

Paladin Series= Ownage

Paladin Game= Total Fucking Mega Ownage!!!!

I can't wait!

Dec. 2, 2007 | 3:15 AM JAZZA responds:

haha nice summary there :)

Dec. 1, 2007 | 11:00 PM keatnisher says:

the paladin series was GREAT and i look forward to the game and... cheat codes! thats gonna be awesome

P.S. whos all in the testing anyway?

Dec. 2, 2007 | 3:17 AM JAZZA responds:

haha yeah, im exited too! and thanx for the compliments

the testers are the mods on my jazzastudios forums (plus 2-3 loyals) and tom fulp and luis

Dec. 1, 2007 | 11:01 PM keatnisher says:

ohh just looked at the pics they look sweet

Dec. 2, 2007 | 3:17 AM JAZZA responds:

thanx mate. i'm puttin everything i can into the art, and moonkeys the best coder i could ask for

Dec. 1, 2007 | 11:25 PM SizZlE666 says:

I want your babies

Dec. 2, 2007 | 3:18 AM JAZZA responds:

take them, im sick of paying for diapers

Dec. 2, 2007 | 12:19 AM JonBro says:

...Wow. As I've said before, this looks really awesome.

I'm loving that menu =)

Dec. 2, 2007 | 3:18 AM JAZZA responds:

thanx bro :D

Dec. 2, 2007 | 1:41 AM The-Yokai says:

The series was epic. I can't wait for this!

Dec. 2, 2007 | 3:18 AM JAZZA responds:

thanx, and neither can i! lolz

Dec. 2, 2007 | 4:24 AM stojkovski says:

Wow, this looks too epic. I checked out the dragon and...wow.

Then again, the dragon (animated) wouldn't really work out when it's playable, would it? 'Cos the angle would change (dragon's angle) and the wings would still have to be animated correctly.

Anyway, I hope it turns out alright.

Also, seeing as you're in Vic, Aussie, mind telling me where you got your graphics pen from? The only one I could find is at Peripherals Plus at Clayton for $150. Where'd you get yours from? And which suburb?

Dec. 2, 2007 | 7:36 AM JAZZA responds:

what do you mean the angle would change? the dragons animated clips look pretty fluid and in line with the series. better then i hoped it would turn out anyways. and the wings look ok. theyre divided into four parts (the wings) that are tweened and stuff, i like how it looks.

as for my tablet, i ordered it online. i'm sure you could look into getting them shipped in from a harvey norman. even ebay. it cost me 1,600, but its worth it. i saved for a year to get it (i was working at target at the time)

Dec. 2, 2007 | 6:18 AM ZureTheDarkBeing says:

It's going to be released already in mid decembre? =O Nice!
Anyway, I just noticed the cheating device. So, I bet there's going to be some sort of god mode, infinite magic power/ health, an extra hard level or bonus weapons and stuff. By the way, are you able to customize our "blue-hair"? It's actually one of the most important factors for an RPG-like game (or is it just a hack n' slash? I hope not!).

Dec. 2, 2007 | 7:38 AM JAZZA responds:

unfortunately to keep in line with the series i have not added visual customizations. there are instead lots of ways to go skill wise, you can concentrate on speed, strength, magic, endurance and more etc.

different elements are added all the time to vary the experience, IE flight, bird companion, different levels and bosses, armor, etc etc....

Dec. 2, 2007 | 7:35 AM Jellyfish-king says:

Looks pretty damn awesome, cant wait until it comes out!

Dec. 2, 2007 | 4:20 PM JAZZA responds:

thanx amn

Dec. 2, 2007 | 8:56 AM assasinrabbit says:

HOLY CRAP!
man I am a huge fan, I got ur DVD and all that crap (won it and am proud of it :D) and seriously, if you would only find some ppl or send your idea to some gamin company this would be good enough to be published as a game u pay for

Dec. 2, 2007 | 4:21 PM JAZZA responds:

awesome, i hope you liked the DVD. and im not gonna get into making games long term, i wanna be a director :)

Updated: Dec. 2, 2007, 4:26 PM

Dec. 2, 2007 | 9:05 AM creechkid says:

OMG its already freaking december!!!!! Almost there! And I solved the customization dilema, Make it wen you beat the game you get a cheat to customze your dude, so it still follows the movie and everything but then after you beat it in a movie like mode, you can custom your dude. Or atleast put secret characters in (ie. Play as young auron through whole game) Also I think you should have a SUPER SECRET character if you dont take any advice, atleast put in playing as the SUPER SECRET CHARACTERS evil god and nice god (It wuz so long ago I watchd the movies, I cant remeber their names srry!) and give the SUPER SECRET CHARACTERS all diferent weapons and spells. srry im asking so much but I bow to you and crate a cult and get arrested for it if you do dat!!!!! Also, plz put in secret weapons, cause im the typa dude who gets tired of the same sword over and over and over again. The other thing I wuz amazed bywas the shadowing! Not many games, (or movies for that matter) have shadowing. Gud job. I also am mad at you though!!!! You draw better than me (waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) Its looks like this game iz gunna be crazier than charlez manson! U know wut elze would be sick, If u could play searching for the sword!!!! Also I noticed different enemies, another thing few games have. I tell ya man this game is going down (and up) in history. Espesialy if you include 3 things 1. When talking, making different sentece choices That affect ending of the game (good, bad, neutral) for exe, good, mister evil doesnt kill crowey but he just flys away, bad, he kils crow neutral he just hurts the crow. #2 ties in with the first, talking to people, and not just stabbing zombies alot and 3, SKILL UPGRADES, learning new atks and spells. But above all I know that this game is gunna be frickin mind blowing and with Moonkey (master) and you(grandmaster) working on it, its gunna be like picos school on animation steriods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 P.S. Another cheat, modern mode with guns!

Dec. 2, 2007 | 4:33 PM JAZZA responds:

if theres one think i have learned working with moonkey, if either of us is grandmaster it's him. he can do anything with code. i tell him i want something, no matter how crazy it might be, he does it.

thanx for the suggestions, i think that the unlockable special characters it a GREAT idea and i will make some today! might be fun to kill undead as napoleon dynamite or george bush or pico.... :)

as for those three things, 1 i cant do coz i am keeping with the story of paladin 100%, which has already been laid out. 2 i sorta do, but auron cant talk back, people talk to him. and 3 i do do. you can customize spells and abilities.

modern codes is doable but would take to much time to set up an engine for from scratch and we only have a few weeks left to peice the rest together and get it all polished.

thanx heaps mate

Dec. 2, 2007 | 10:30 AM Sir-Nuts says:

It looks amazing, I can't wait to play it!

Dec. 2, 2007 | 4:33 PM JAZZA responds:

thanx a bunch friend :P

Dec. 2, 2007 | 12:49 PM Phil says:

how big is the file at the moment?

Dec. 2, 2007 | 4:35 PM JAZZA responds:

moonkey has the main .fla and all the codes and animations and sounds inside it.

if you are talking about the swf its 4-5 megs atm, but it will easily be around 10 because at the moment there are no minimovies or songs in the swf (im doing them seperately)

Dec. 2, 2007 | 1:02 PM RWA says:

From what I can see from preview and these screenshots,the game is going to have some length indeed, yet with awesome graphics all the way. I'm really surprised this much is already done,thought it would take much,much longer. Glad to see you put so much in it,so i know it'll turn out great ;)

Can't wait :)

Dec. 2, 2007 | 4:40 PM JAZZA responds:

a lot of people say its been quick lol

in a way it has, but spending 6-7 hours a day on it for 3 months would equal the year or so part time flashers put into epic games.

and yeah the game is pretty huge. :D

Dec. 2, 2007 | 4:00 PM Splurda says:

sweeeeeeeet! i like how even thought the quality's lowered on the people (compared to the movies) they still look better than everything ive ever done T-T anyway i cant wait to play it :D :D

Dec. 2, 2007 | 4:43 PM JAZZA responds:

haha yeah. frankly i hate setting quality to low on anything, but this game is pretty crazy intense graphics wise plus with sounds and music lag may IRK some people

Dec. 2, 2007 | 4:21 PM Splurda says:

hey jazza, garbage whistle... nice :p

Dec. 2, 2007 | 10:29 PM JAZZA responds:

i dont know how to get it up lol!

Dec. 2, 2007 | 4:58 PM snapper5 says:

i commented you! woohoo!

Dec. 2, 2007 | 10:30 PM JAZZA responds:

and as force of new habbit i'm responding to your comment

double woohooo

Dec. 2, 2007 | 6:34 PM catman03 says:

I disagree, I think you're definitely one of the Newgrounds greats.I mean the paladin series is hugely famous and has it's own page, plus the composer was fucking amazing. Both the music and the movie are firsts on my favorites.

Dec. 2, 2007 | 10:32 PM JAZZA responds:

thanx heaps but... the paladin series isnt that popular compared to the really big stuff. i;m HOPING to change that with the game but, meh.

and yeah composer does have a good spot and got a great reaction so im endlessly grateful for that

still, i'm just an 18 year old nerd who draws pretty pictures :P!

Dec. 2, 2007 | 11:31 PM xXCostelloXx says:

Looks Demonically Great man!

Dec. 3, 2007 | 12:09 AM JAZZA responds:

thanx heaps

demonically, lol.. nice

Dec. 2, 2007 | 11:52 PM MrFinland says:

After seeing those awesome pics I have one question. Does the game have a spell that'll kill everything on sight? That would be a great way to get out of troubles.

Dec. 3, 2007 | 12:10 AM JAZZA responds:

well turn undead saps the health of everyone on screen, and judgement sends heavenly shards down to blast everyone around, so sort of :)

Dec. 3, 2007 | 1:02 PM Nick2410 says:

Hey, I was just wondering how long the game will be? You like: How many levels, what gods? etc...
It looks awesome man, a great achievement for someone of your age.

Dec. 3, 2007 | 4:18 PM JAZZA responds:

9 acts which sometimes include more then one playing area each

6 bosses

and thank you :D

Dec. 3, 2007 | 2:31 PM Splurda says:

your main series has so far never been your most popular submission in all the years youve been making it :( ah well, its still my favourite :3

also, its so awesome that you respond to every comment, not many of the good authors do that :)

Dec. 3, 2007 | 4:19 PM JAZZA responds:

yeah i know paladin hasn't got a huge audience. perhaps this game will change that. i can only hope.

and yeah, i noticed swain does it too (i think :P) and i realized, it'be awfully rude of me to expect feedback and not share my thoughts one on one with the people who make the time of day for me.

Dec. 3, 2007 | 6:46 PM FreelanceFlashGames says:

This game looks like it will be amazing. I'm looking forward to the release, and hope to put it on freelanceflashgames.com when it is done.

Dec. 3, 2007 | 7:02 PM JAZZA responds:

be sure to give credit where necessary and a link to my site :)

Dec. 4, 2007 | 2:01 AM ShortMonkey says:

You rock

Dec. 4, 2007 | 5:40 AM JAZZA responds:

so do you :)....

Dec. 4, 2007 | 4:50 AM axeman515 says:

OMG!!! been a fan of yours ever since i first saw paladin ep. 1, cant wait for the game dude

Dec. 4, 2007 | 5:40 AM JAZZA responds:

awesome! a long standing fan, thats great to see :D

Dec. 6, 2007 | 9:06 PM SSXorcist15 says:

Heh, awesome. Seems like a great game.

Dec. 10, 2007 | 12:34 AM JAZZA responds:

thanx, couple of weeks to go

Dec. 6, 2007 | 9:08 PM SSXorcist15 says:

And besides, you're bound to get a bazillion people playing it, because from the Composer being in the Top 10 slots for ages, and the ever-popular PICO DAY ANTHEM (the audio for which, by the way, I have proudly downloaded and put onto my iPod) you have become the equivalent of a Level 7 Newgrounds GOD.

Dec. 10, 2007 | 12:35 AM JAZZA responds:

thanx glad u liked my other craps :P

and.. level 7 whaa?

Dec. 7, 2007 | 7:27 PM LeeJaySan says:

Wow! I never imagined it to be this way! It looks awesome! When will it be out man?

Dec. 10, 2007 | 12:36 AM JAZZA responds:

thanx, coming soooooon :P

Dec. 8, 2007 | 5:59 PM Mobstarr says:

Awesome sweet great jesus!!! what a GAME!!! When will be the launching of this game on newgrounds!!! pls hurry up im getting tooooooooooooooooooooo excited.....

Dec. 10, 2007 | 12:36 AM JAZZA responds:

not long now, a couple of weeks

Dec. 14, 2007 | 1:51 PM Phil says:

Wow this is gonna rock

Dec. 14, 2007 | 5:57 PM JAZZA responds:

i hope so.
beta testing is on now, so we're trying to get rid of all the bugs

Dec. 15, 2007 | 1:41 PM bad1945 says:

Just one question, when will you post the Game here on newgrounds?

Dec. 15, 2007 | 3:29 PM JAZZA responds:

as soon as its done. its being beta tested and im working hard with moonkey to finish it

Dec. 18, 2007 | 9:39 AM Notcrud says:

wow1 I cant wait! I love the series and I can't wait for the game!

Dec. 18, 2007 | 3:53 PM JAZZA responds:

thanx heaps. LESS THEN A WEEK TO GO

Dec. 21, 2007 | 4:57 PM azza3809 says:

So...How will we find the cheats? After we complete or will we find some around your site?

Dec. 21, 2007 | 5:41 PM JAZZA responds:

every time you crack the game you unlock cheats

clocking on easy unlocks 3 at a time
clocking on medium unlocks 4 at a time
clocking on hard unlocks half

Dec. 22, 2007 | 1:01 AM MrFinland says:

It's gettin' Christmas, and when I get the gifts, the chances for me seeing the game go smaller then.
If you're wondering, this is a subliminal try to make you hurry. Which probably fails, because I tell it is a try. Whatever

Dec. 22, 2007 | 5:17 AM JAZZA responds:

24 hours is a mabey

hold onto your pants

Dec. 22, 2007 | 10:32 AM Splurda says:

OMG THE SUSPENSE! will it be out before christmas? WHO KNOWS!

Dec. 22, 2007 | 4:09 PM JAZZA responds:

yeah it will :)

Aug. 29, 2008 | 3:38 PM Maki-kun says:

The series is awesome the game is better!!! (in my opinion)
