Hailam on Newground!

Omg! our classmate Hailam one day declared to me that he was about to published a game! He show it to me the original file. and I was petrified. Flash game? wtf? DG student completed a flash game? isn't suppose to be Multimedia Student's work? And... the tragic truth is, the game quality and script complexity has surpassed any MM student's game ever exist in TOA from the ancient to the present.

Monster kill! xD

As the game is already poliferated among the internet....Behold!

Spare No Evil: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/467451



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------from Newgrounds

Hey. This is a game that spawned off a little flipbook animation I made a while ago.
It's a top-down shooter much inspired by RE 4, with upgradable weapons, melee attacks, numerous enemies and boss characters.

The controls are customizable:

- Use the W A S D keys to move the character, the mouse to aim and shoot.

- When you run out of 'ammo', you would have to reach any one of the predefined 'stations' to refill ammo. In each level, you have least one of these areas.

- In addition to the ammo in your gun, you have a backpack reserve which can be used to reload your gun(s). This is also refilled when you reach a station.

- You use the Q key to throw snowballs at enemies.

- You use the E key to kick enemies and knock them to the ground.

- You use the Spacebar to make dive rolls in any direction to avoid attacks.

- Upgrade your weapons, and buy new ones by trading 'Silver crystals' that the enemies drop.

- Take 'Eco crystals' to heal.

Try using IE if it runs too slow.

Speed Paint - Online Avatar

9th Nov, TOA suddently gathered a troops of elite painters in TOA online. Of course, with a few cabut (flee) away, most of them come with unlimited inspiration to do some speed paint. speed paint last about 1 and the half hours... and all the style have one similarity later on I realized.

In some university research argue that, artist in general, have a very unbalanced brain development. Contrast to methmatician, artist right brain brain cells' development ability are significantly outnumbered the left. As you can see... all of our painting balancing is all tilted left. =D gg!

The Terminator Full Concept Art - By R



Ruidies and Jianterman! XYZbotany proudly present you R's very authentic design-- The Terminator! This was one of the design that R produce at the foundation of the animation major. It was a hectic semester. I hardly remember anythings else other than piles of piles of homework, smells of bendable eraser, layout pads, skipping classes, classmate went berserk, overnight in 2D animation labs. Other than that, cut it in short we got no life. Same goes with this artist.

R's design is specialized in his detail drawing and high complexity joins. Adding in the innovation from different source of references changing it into his own original concept and idea, R is capable of producing sucha complicated work in short time.

system] R is beyond godlike! someone kill him!
