Posted by VicHD - October 17th, 2008

A few days ago I posted a little preview of Four Swords Misadventures 6 on Youtube. No, this isn't a rickroll like the last one. This is REAL footage. Click here.

Now, before I get the age old question "When is ep. # coming out?" Let my point out that the episode is about 90% done as of this writing and I'm hoping to have it ready sometime before the end of the year, but things can change. I do, however, have to finish 2 special scenes:

1. a special "flash drawn" animation scene with some help from Osuka. Originally another animator was going to do this, but there were some complications during development.

2. a little surprise ending with Dark Link

Episode 6 is literally "bigger, longer and uncut" (bad South Park joke, I know). I really went overboard with this one and I personally think it's the craziest episode I've ever made.

I should also mention that the episode's progress has been rather slow these past few months due to the fact that I just started my 4th semester in the university and now I Have very little time to work on flash atm. But don't worry guys, I'll find the time to get this done ASAP.

Remember what I always say:
The longer you wait, the better it gets.

Can't wait, the series seems to be getting better and better.
It's my favorite Zelda and my favorite Sprite flash,
so don't rush it too much and get it done right! :)

A good flash is like a good wine the longer it takes to ripe the better it becomes. Since I liked ep. 5, I hope to love Ep. 6. Don't disappoint me on my expectations, Hadouken_dude.

legendtobe 2008-10-17 14:00:59

I like when episode are long and creative as long as i know that the creator did it from their heads and mixed it with some other stuff on there ground.

yoyo121 2008-10-17 16:10:33

Z-SilveR 2008-10-18 17:09:40

Can't wait untill it's done. I really enjoyed the other fourswords misadventures flash movies. It will be very exciting to watch when it will be released. And how it ends out with red and his "Super cock fear" :P

LoveAddict 2008-10-18 22:50:16

Yes! A glimmer of hope! Patience is a virtue and I have tons of it and this update helps. Thanks fo letting us know and really looking forward to seeing the 6th episode.

ShiraBliss 2008-10-19 12:30:34

I just wanna see!

VicHD 2008-10-20 23:24:38 (Updated 2008-10-21 00:59:07)

It's looking great so far. You'll see it when the time is right. just have patience man. ;)

BTW, I really liked your interpretation of Vaati in this episode. great stuff.

richler 2008-10-23 20:30:21

r u guys gonna make sprite tv 4 ?

VicHD 2008-10-23 20:30:21

That's not gonna happen. Sorry.

monkaybo 2008-10-25 10:34:13

"patience is a virtue that comes with great rewards" thats what my grandfather and my father used to say to me all the time and it really goes with this take your time and those who understand the reasons why it takes so long knows better than anyone. Knowing this fact I know that you will not disappoint us on any way. My flash is taking forever to complete as a matter of fact I am not even half way just because I have really no time on my hands so I understand perfectly what do you mean. There is a saying at home in Puerto Rico that goes somehow like this. "hurrying always come with disaster" take your time make it good cya around

Re-ReDead 2008-10-29 08:12:46

Hmm... about 3 months agoyou wrote that the next episode was 60% done... sooo, how much have you done by now?

VicHD 2008-10-29 08:12:46

It's still 90% done. I haven't made any progress lately due to life related events (university, exams homework, you get the idea). Like I mentioned in the post, I'll try to have it ready before the end of the year.

MiniMooseTheSecond 2008-10-29 17:10:26

im so excited....

Kimes 2008-10-31 09:04:02

Since the anticipation is killing me, I just gonna post another comment. Since life is eating your time, how much free time do you think you have till the end of the year?

VicHD 2008-10-31 09:04:02

I prefer not to answer anymore questions about the episode's progress. This will just ruin the surprise.

You'll see it when the time is right, trust me.

redforman 2008-11-04 14:10:24

who! you live in venezuela mexico me to! hi5!!

Infrablue 2008-11-07 17:26:38

sounds like it's going to be awesome like your other movies :D (or maybe even better?)
i will surely write a review and vote, when you post it here.

mariomaniac75 2008-11-09 19:51:36

any chance of more zelda-themed music videos?

i like those almost as much as your 4-swords misadventure series!

as for episode 6...i can wait for that, but dont keep us waiting as long as alvin made us wait with his series (over a year)

VicHD 2008-11-09 19:51:36

I won't make you wait THAT long. 16 months waiting for a flash is just torture.

CelestialLink 2008-11-10 20:49:59

Can't wait to see Ep. 6, I love this series. It was one of the first series I ever got into when I started watching Flash on Newgrounds. You don't disappoint, even with a long production time. And by the way it sounds, it will come out better than any other episode produced.

Also, when I was reading some of your news posts before, I remember seeing something about complaints about the episode length being too much or too short. It should be longer; more to watch, more to the fit in, more finished in one episode = more accomplishing for the author and more FSMA for the watcher to enjoy, lol. (Even an acronym joke with FMA... If you didn't get the reference, then it has to do with the FMA-themed intro from ep. 4)

Another thing, about the flash sprite decline... I really think it's sad how people have to take something that can be enjoyable and treat it like it's a crime. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just as good as drawn art. It leaves more room for neatness in effects and tidiness with the overall product. I mean, some artists can't draw for crap, and that makes the flash sloppy. Using sprites or your own hand-drawn art is an artist's choice, people shouldn't have the right to criticize that. If you don't like sprite flashes, then don't watch them, and don't judge them for it. Nobody is forcing you to watch them.

I have to say, sprite or hand-drawn flash is still a major accomplishment, especially when done right. I mean, I can't even stand to do a small card flip effect for a birthday card. (Yes, I am a procrastinator and very lazy, with a small attention span. I like to do as little work as possible.) It takes a load of patience and work to finish something with flash, and artists deserve credit if they can do it at all. If you don't like their work, then don't watch. But never, and I mean, never insult them for working their asses off to get it done with sprites or without. People have been using other peoples' stuff for centuries, and there's nothing wrong with it. They give credit, and so do most sprite flash artists. But if you're just going to be prejudice and be a hater, then either pull the log out of your ass that made you decide to do that. Or just plain fuck off. (excuse my language, kinda went off on a rant, there)

Lastly, Hadouken, you shouldn't worry about not time here and there to create a video or time constraints. I could say take all the time you want, but others won't. As long as you continue the series, and continue to provide something for your fans, I'm sure nobody will mind if it takes a while. Even as impatient as I am, I'm always looking forward to a new one and will wait for it. You never disappoint.

VicHD 2008-11-10 20:49:59 (Updated 2008-11-11 06:55:25)

That's very encouraging of you to say that. Sadly, not everyone in NG agrees with what you said. Today's Newgrounds is a total mess now, I can't express my opinions without something eventually blowing up in my face. It's hard to deal with it sometimes.

All I want to do is tell a story in my own personal way, even if it means using copyrighted content (who doesn't use them these days?). If some people don't like it, I don't care because I know thousands of users who do. Flash is storytelling, not just animation in an artform. I hope that one of these days somebody will follow my example and make sprite flashes that really are worth watching.

Thanks for your support and for taking you time writing such an extensive post.

lifeofmystery 2008-11-10 20:58:56

that last post by celestiallink was probably the most sophisticat thing i ever heard on newggrounds and is teh most truthful.

Dracario 2008-11-12 19:26:24

FourSwordsfan5396 2008-11-12 23:13:09
