Title: Epic Hades Maneuver
Post by: Goober5000 on December 19, 2009, 01:12:50 pm
This is something that's been churning around in my head for a while, but the pieces all finally came together.  Many thanks to Ransom Arceihn for his help on the GIF work. :)

Trivia: The original title of stage 4 of the final mission's command briefing was "Epic Hades Maneuver".  It stayed that way right up until just before release, because I couldn't think of a better name for it. ;)

No, this is not the Phoenix grand prize.

I approve this and ask what the image was processed in? Flash mayhaps?

Nope -- as I said, standard GIF.

EDIT: If you mean what was the image created in, I dunno... you'll have to ask Ransom. :)

Dekker: Yeah, it was put together in Flash.

Also - I had to vectorise the node map for this project. I don't know if there's any need for it, but if someone has a use for a high-res node map it'd be a simple matter to rip it out.

I'd like to take a look at the source, if only to check out the panning grid. Did you use a camera movie clip set or a uniformed layer move?

Everything's in a graphic symbol which I moved around in front of the camera.

What's the song, by the way? It's kinda catchy.

EDIT: Oh, duh. Nevermind. Forgot YTMNDs had info bars.

EDIT2: Hey wait a minute. Apparently Sol's jump node is still intact!

Tip for making YTMNDs: They're going to get downvoted if they consist of injokes nobody else can understand.

In fact, according to the official YTMND rules:

Quote
      WARNING:

      While it may not be apparent, YTMND requires its users to maintain a level of respect to the community and the rest of the internet. If you are planning on making a YTMND that contains any of the following elements:
    * extreme racism
    * hardcore pornography
    * anything illegal (animal torture, anything that could be remotely described as child porn, etc)
    * pictures of your friends or enemies
    * someone's personal information (sush as addresses, phone numbers, full names)
    * inside jokes that the majority of the members of YTMND won't understand.
    * any of the following words in the title or text of the site: OMG, LOL, ROFL, WTF, PWNED, O RLY, OWNED, OMFG, etc.
    * blatant copyright infringement
    * complete lack of creativity, such as straight rips from family guy, the simpsons or any other tv show
    * anime (please, just go to 4chan and get it over with)
    * finding random images on the internet and putting them to dumb random songs

      Your sites may be deleted, and if you fail to follow these simple guidelines to an extreme extent your account may be deleted. In order to create a site on YTMND, you must agree to the YTMND terms of service.


See number 6.

5'd it anyway though.

Isn't that what YTMND is all about though?

Yes, we were aware of all this before making the YTMND.  My goal was not to get a "top voted" or "popular" YTMND, but just to publish something that a small group of people might find entertaining.
