03-2025 [S] 8r8k Flash Commentary
🕑 Added 2025-04-01 19:00:08 +0000 UTCChumi, can’t stop eating green grapes: Hello and welcome to the commentary! Last month we covered the first half of the flash, so let’s get to the second half! The energy built up in the first part of the flash is finally released, and we get some emotional beats as well!! Let’s talk about it!
Kim, not lactose intolerant: We’ve finally reached the climax! And, personally, where a lot of my favorite shots are because there’s a bunch of delicious heavy hitters in this half, hehe.
Spicyyeti, eating spicy popcorn chicken: hello to all. im spicyyeti (carmi), creator of godhead and i was the compositor on this flash.i animated like idk 90% of it or something (floral animated some parts too). ill explain the process near the end of this commentary.
Floral, desires more cheese and salami: hey im the guy that boarded, animated a lil bit and drew Jake’s naked glowing butt.
Sollay, italian: Hey I drew one more thing here. It was also a naked Jake.
Isaac, probably drinking coffee: hi!!! i did some of the assets >:P :P
Ozzy, craving takoyaki lately: I also joined in with a couple more shots for this half! It was a bit of a struggle since in the middle of production at this time, my computer busted and I had to buy an entire new one, but we still managed it :]
Hone, nerdy japanese eating sushi:フラッシュのカットをいくつかお手伝いしました。よろしくお願いします！(I helped on a few shots for the Frash! :3)
Miles, still full from KBBQ last weekend: I didn’t draw anything!!! I’m just here to run my mouth :)
Haven, in the midst of a lunch crisis: Super excited for this part. We were toiling away in those homestuck mines for these homestuck diamonds.
Kim: Before we formally begin the second half, another one of our lovely guest artists Anita (or you might recognize as fruitegg) wanted to share their process for their Sollux shot!
Anita, Sydney Australia, toiling in HS mines since 2011 to buy 1 rock n roll CD, just happy to be here: U know when U frog-boil-customised a character just like over the course of fully over a decade and then read the MSPAwiki to check their design details and just go ❓❗❓
Work process by Anita
No eyebrowz no nose - Idk why that started beyond "he's a mutant" but it occurred to me probs should give him some for this occasion so the compromise was to give him bleached eyebrows and a tiny babby idiot nose. split tha difference. and he DOES have the nose and five fingers contrary to the HS Classic 0 Nose+4 Fingers on account of the Joke being that like....this kind of silly moment is rendered with a incongruent level of like care and attention
Eyes 'n' teeth - you know.....I always thought back on the comet when he got his eyes and teeth blasted (?) out that like the actual eyeballs just like went jellylike and sploded out of his head. but the team kindly confirmed he does indeed have both eyeballs, they're just black....I was today(A couple months ago) years old when I learnt.....and would he have maybe gotten into a little denture by this point? Perhaps. But plain gums with no teeth are so fun, how xould I not
Horns - Always kind of accidentally by way of incapability and also not paying attention end up drawing them tilted back w the two smaller middle ones set further back than the others and tried not to do that here but still failed LOL drawing HS for 10+ years and still canNOT draw horns at a angle orz....
tha fit - Sollux the Slovenly Pants Sagging Soldier wears some shitty trackpants with a heelbite and like.....a air max shoe that he's had for 5+ years and the sole is like 1/3 its original thickness and the leather is so soft the shoe no longer has any structure. In the enduring words of DigDat "Had to run a boy down in my Air Force Max/Pissed, cuh now they got a crease in the middle". And he's a tag dag because It Would Be Some Shit Like That
got tha sketch and went from there overall if I had my time again I think I'd probs not go for like quite such a wacky dramatic perspective but OH WELL to fight an adage with an adage if yur shot hit the tree it missed the deer BUT you miss 100% of the shots yoiu don't take....so my conscience is clear-ish. like I said above, I'm just happy to be here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kim: Anita’s rendering skills are simply unmatched…. I remember when Floral was pitching the boards to me, she persisted that this shot HAD to be done by fruitegg. Ideally, LOL.
Chumi: One of the craziest shots in the whole flash tbh. I was blown away when I first saw it, the amount of detail is bananas.
Sollay: I think it’s kind of my favorite.
Haven: Getting Anita’s art in the flash felt like a dream come true on the same level as even being able to work on Homestuck in the first place.
Miles: Everything we wrote in the entire comic was actually a lead-up to this, if you can believe it. From here on out, we’re in a little story phase we like to call “falling action”. Real shit though this shot is fantastic, having Anita on Homestuck was one of those things that we knew we wanted essentially as soon as the topic of guest artists was broached.
Kim: Now that we’re at the second half, you can observe the latter half of the color keys here too!
Color keys by Kim Quach & Floralmarsupial
Kim: We’ve finally reached THE NIGHT! As I’ve emphasized in the last few of our artist commentaries, the gradual change of time and when the events in these past few updates have occurred have very deliberate symbolism to it. Light and shadow played a VERY important role during this flash, and we knew very specifically it had to be night time for the climax of 8r8k. If you think about it, it’s kinda crazy that they’ve been fighting like this for HOURS. Even until daybreak… At the very end of the flash, you can actually see the sun rising JUST a bit over the horizon too…
Art by Isaac
Isaac: I had to include my placeholder faces for this one... they were just too cute :P
Kim: Tavvy’s little :3 gets me KSAJDAL.
Ozzy: I’m also really tickled by Yiffy’s 2px smirk >:J
Hone: この二人の表情すごく好き！ (I love their cute little expressions! :33)
Art by HONE
Floral: The wild satisfaction I felt watching Jake Dr. Manhattan everyone in view… beautiful…
Chumi: Run guys run!!
Art by Floralmarsupial
Floral: I was so so so excited to draw this shot, another part of the flash that was integral to the larger narrative we were setting out. Drawing the swooping tendrils was really fun and cathartic too. Jake is so majestic, his imagery in Homestuck always intrigued me, I love angels…. And this all being a means to reach his baby…
Chumi: It looks fantastic, and I love how the effects turned out!!
Miles: It does!
Art by Floralmarsupial
Floral: My first attempt at the wings!! I struggled with getting the wing shape just right but rightfully got notes to push it more and turned out so happy with the end result.
Kim: I really love the end result– you can really feel how EPIC his impression is supposed to be towards the kids right now. Realizing in this moment, at least what Tavvy has probably always thought, his regular ol’ pop IS a LITERAL god right now??
Miles: It’s probably SO LOUD there... their poor ears.
Work in progress sketch by Sollay
Sollay: When I was first assigned to paint him, I initially gave him clothes, because I was a fool who didn’t know any better. It turned out he didn’t have those.
Chumi: He’s just too powerful for clothing to contain him.
Art by Sollay
Sollay: I wasn’t sure what to do. He’s all white, engulfed in light, radiating light. I thought, what is there to paint? His magnificent ‘staches? I started sweating a little bit. To buy time, I honed out the ‘staches real good. As for the rest, I decided to just turn my brain off to YouTube videos and when I turned it back on, uh, he just kind of looked like this, but freakier. I toned the shadows down, but he still looks as lovingly sculpted as ever. No regrets.
Ozzy: Such a majestic visage…
Isaac: He’s oh so beautiful indeed!!
Kim: Like a Greek sculpture… Also, I’m not gonna lie, every time I rewatch the flash and his face comes up again it immediately gets a chuckle out of me. Everything Is Suddenly So Real.
Sollay: Maybe a little too real. Personally I’m still a fan of your input!!
Kim: ASKJDLSA I also really like this one as well.
Spicyyeti: his dress to impress eyes
Art by Hone
Hone: このカットは浦沢直樹の「MONSTER」が元ネタになっています。(This shot is based on a famous scene from “MONSTER” by Naoki Urasawa.)
MONSTER by Naoki Urasawa
Kim: I know for this part, Floral wanted to make it super duper clear that this was an explicit reference to MONSTER, LOL. I don’t blame her though, this scene goes incredibly hard and I think the expression from the original panel really gets the vibe across of how Rose is feeling in this moment too.
Miles: Rosehan Lieblonde is suuuuuch a great shot, one of many incredible moments Floral managed to squeeze into this incredible 4 minutes. I’ve said too much about Rose’s mindstate in these commentaries so I’m just going to leave it at Damn She Looks Cold As Fuck Right Now.
Art by Annie “Chumi” Lee
Chumi: The bullet went through a few iterations because there was some confusion between the casing and the actual bullet and what exactly flies through the air when a sniper rifle is fired… I have very little knowledge about guns if you couldn’t tell.
Kim: This was kind of a funny scramble in the chat simply because none of us knew what the logistics of a bullet were like because, well, none of us has ever touched a gun in our life LOL. It wasn’t until James clued us in that the bullet would be missing the casing if it was being shot. The more you know…
Haven: We sat in call just googling guns and bullets for like an hour.
Floral: This is the scene I was most excited to see animated since we were concepting the flash. I could see it perfectly in my head and Hone did such an amazing job with bringing it to life. Oh Rose…what are you doing man.
Art by Floralmarsupial
Floral: My ugly disgusting horses….
Chumi: Don’t say that… I think they’re neat.
Kim: I also love that we opted for photobashed horses instead of drawing them. We needed the very real horses to be like a laugh break for the audience.
Miles: Wiping tears away We were supposed to be laughing?
Art by Kim Quach
Kim: Grown ass woman being tormented by a child… LOL
Jokes aside though, I love how brilliant Floral boarded this. (Vriska)’s request for Vriska to accept (her)self wholly had been tormenting her for YEARS, literally a looming shadow over her… haunting her… I wanted the irony to be palpable that even though Vriska, clearly an adult by now, was posed with what would objectively be such a simple task still made her feel so small in the face of it even beside her younger self.
Floral: This is one of the scenes I animated and it was a real treat! I’m not as experienced as Carmi but I learned a ton. I love the slowness of this scene and the complete tonal change. You really feel how worn down Vriska is by it all.
Art by Annie “Chumi” Lee
Floral: It was early on decided that Terezi was the bridge between these two Vriska’s, and that despite what Vriska put (Vriska) through or her constant rejection, (Vriska) being able to still empathize her other self was a prime example of what Vriska could be. It’s not about loving someone more than you hate yourself but something crazier and more complicated. I love Vriska.
Art by Kim Quach
Kim: Not gonna lie, the discrepancies between the adults being in Guardian Mode having Dimension and the younger kids still being stylized like MSPA cartoons will always crack me up. Y’know, we all know what it’s like to become an adult and finally sprout your fifth digit finger and gain a 3rd dimension.
Art by Kim Quach
Kim: Poor (Vriska) 😭 Even after all the trouble that Vriska has given her, (she) knows she would miss Terezi too, but she’s still scared from all the bullying that Vriska had accosted her with for the rest of the four years she’s been stuck here sdkljsd.
Chumi: She looks so scared… 🙁
Art by Kim Quach
Sketch by Kim Quach
Art by Ozzy Anschutz
Floral: The first was very true to my board but the emotion comes through so much better with (Vriska) actively blocking her face.
Ozzy: Kim’s sketch was so easy to work with, he did awesome helping me push the feeling of her bracing for impact.
Kim: I’m always glad to help my fellow team! >:9 I think the initial board had her posed more so flinching back, but it felt a little mild… Considering all the shit Vriska was doing to (her) all these years, I think (she)’d be rightfully a little more scared.
Spicyyeti: she was literally shooting at her with a gun
Art by Kim Quach
Kim: This scene was the most delicate part of this whole sequence, that I wanted to be sure we nailed the feeling of this one just right. The way I was framing it in my head when I was drawing it, I wanted it to feel like an older sister reconciling with their younger sibling.
Chumi: A beautiful touching moment!!
Floral: Finally the end to the Hell Chamber arc! I know a lot of people were surprised with the end of the VN portion but it all culminated to this. In the end we realized there weren’t really any words that could sell this acceptance as much as this action. And resolving actions was what flashes were built for.
Art by Annie “Chumi” Lee and Ozzy Anschutz
Chumi: A sweet collab between my pal Ozzy and me! The sprites are looking quite pleased that Vriska has finally accomplished the hug (except Erisol, I assume he does not give a fuck!!!).
Ozzy: Thank you so much for your help, Chumi!!! This was one of the shots I wasn’t able to complete on my own due to technical difficulties. I was able to do a decent bit of the Nannasprites and Erisolsprite, and then Chumi swooped in with the finish. Erisol at least gives a quarter of a fuck enough to drop his jaw a little in acknowledgement.
Art by Annie “Chumi” Lee
Chumi: And the happiest of them all… Thank you Davepeta, for being Vriska’s strongest multi-year supporter. They’re even crying tears of relief and you know what, so would I.
Miles: In many ways the fate of a sprite is to be an agent of someone else’s journey, but 8 years in silent hill is vicious work.
Art by Kim Quach
Kim: There’s something so subtle but sweet about this particular drawing. It’s like as she looks down and realizes at this moment where she’s finally accepted herself as a whole, it’s a relief and almost… a surprise? Like she never would have thought she would have ever gotten this far… Oh, Vriska… Congratulations on making it this far…!
Concept Art by Haven
Art by Kim Quach
Floral: Another thing that when I boarded I had to like, I had to jump up and pace around the room about because the imagery made me so happy and hit the emotional, musical cue so well. Her cheshire grin as she totally fucks up Rose’s plan.
Kim: This one was also pretty tricky because the initial idea behind the boards was that Vriska would be leaning her face in towards Rose kind smugly kinda like “guess whoooo,” but the actual composition in execution was tough to make it clear and appealing LOL.
Kim: And as you may (or may not) remember, this is what we ended up with in the final flash! We ended up zooming in a lot more because we also wanted it to mirror Terezi’s hand as all of Meat was flashing by.
Art by Hone
Hone: ああ、このカットはVriskaの新たに美しくなった姿に驚いているRoseだ...(Oh This shot is Rose being amazed at Vriska's new and beautiful appearance…)
Kim: Amazed, and for herself… as Floral noted:
Concept Art by Haven
Haven: Here are some concept ideas from waaaaayy back when we were first conceptualizing the scene where she’d emerge from the meteor.
Concept Art by Haven
Haven: This was done after we’d decided that the meteor would explode.
Art by Kim Quach
Kim: AND HERE SHE IS IN ALL HER GLORY…. HELL TIER VRISKA!!!
I put my whole entirety into this shot as this was the Full Reveal… the Money Shot!!! It’s funny because I think at a subconscious level I vaguely ended up mirroring Vriska’s other iconic God Tier fullbody panel to some extent, but now more evolved!
My favorite particular design bits about her are her particularly sharper wings, saturated blue, and the fire trail behind her in place of her pixie dust trail. It’s everything about her, but AMPED UP!!!
Chumi: AWW YEAH!!! The red pops so nicely against the blue…
Sollay: Love her character design, btw!!
Hone: ふつくしい…(She is so beautiful…)
Kim: What’s great about Hell Tier Vriska is that she’s incredibly easy to draw because she’s just a silhouette lol. It makes you really take into consideration how to clearly convey her poses! I had another sketch of this shot where her pose had a bit more ~flair~ to it, but I scrapped it because it was probably a little too extra for the moment. We liked the kind of subtle smugness of Vriska flying away as she looked down at Rose.
Now, you may have been wondering, “what the haell is all the hubbub with this ‘HELL TIER’ nonsense I keep hearing about?” You can actually thank that one for being another Andrew Hussie original! If you’re a hardcore Beyond Canon fan, some of you may remember that it was mentioned Andrew had two mandates for Homestuck’s sequel that HAD to stay from his outline. One, being Yiffany’s character AND……. lo and behold, TWO is Hell Tier Vriska!
Her concept and design was one of the first few things we as a team worked on together when this project started up again. While the core of her concept has essentially stayed the same, with our team’s reboot, the direction and purpose of it is what mostly changed. Fun fact, Andrew’s original design notes for her in the outline said she would have red hair, blue skin, and look like an insanely demonic anime pirate lady. Do what you will with that information LOL.
Spicyyeti: i tried to draw it
Carmi’s Attempt To Draw The Thing Kim Just Mentioned Just Now
Hell Tier Vriska Concept Art by Haven
Kim: When we were designing Hell Tier Vriska, there was a lot of emphasis on what we thought made Homestuck designs memorable to us. As you may have noticed, a strong part of our design principle is being simple but striking and–most of all–fun to draw!
Haven pitched the idea of her during this form having an all-black silhouette and we LOVED it. It FELT like Homestuck. The way she was becoming more abstract and conceptual, no longer restrained by traditional definition felt just right.
Hell Tier Vriska Concept Art by Andi R.
Kim: What we also wanted to emphasize is that this form isn’t exactly like a new state of being like the usual God Tiers, it’s more like a power-up that Vriska has unlocked!
What you might notice, is that in her first couple of sketches, we used to have her more classically MSPA stylized. When I say we made these very early on, I mean very early. I don’t even think the idea of Guardian Mode had been pitched yet.
Hell Tier Vriska Concept Art and Explorations by Kim Quach
Kim: As we came closer to her final design, it only made sense she’d be depicted now clearly as an adult! A lot of her design features are actually very inspired by early Homestuck panels featuring the Ancestors because, well, they’re the adult trolls!
Kim: I was very particularly inspired by this panel’s rendition of the Handmaid. You don’t see trolls depicted with black horns that often! I really do love Andrew’s illustration philosophy of “whatever looks best at the moment” whenever it comes to panels.
Art by Kim Quach
Floral: An idea that came later into production, but it was so fun giving the prior Bec Noir the death he deserved.
Kim: Karkat standing proudly atop the King Krab tank as he slays BecMech… (Mech Noir?)
Miles: Bake Noir?
Kim: We wanted to be sure Karkat had his moment in the flash as well. Considering this is a war between trolls vs humans (or rather, Jane), we can’t have the troll resistance’s leader taking a backseat to all the action! He needs his win!
Art by Kim Quach
Kim: Here’s the less cool version of this shot that I mock animated in CSP for the compositors LOL. Vriska’s flying so fast through the battlefield, she’s setting the ground on fire!!!
Chumi: Killing these guys Among Us style, with the funny single bone poking out of their torso.
Kim: It’s true, all Crocker Goon clones are only born with one bone. (JOKE)
Spicyyeti: haven made me animate the last goon jumping into her sword
Art by Kim Quach
Kim: I’m a little sad these shots fly by so fast, but it’s fine–they’re only supposed to serve as transitional frames for when she flies up and away past the camera. I feel like you can tell how much fun I have drawing her in these frames– she’s just so sharp and whippy.
Art by Hone
Hone: 巨人兵の首も容赦なくはねます。 (She also beheads a Giant soldier without mercy.)
Art by Isaac
Isaac: Hell Tier Vriska <3!!!!!!
Floral: I helped animate this part too and god, when we saw it all together, it was amazing. Vriska fully harnessing her light powers to deliver the most relevant strike the Candyverse has ever seen.
Art by Isaac
Isaac: A big aerial shot of the battlefield!! Woohoo!! The placement of everything was a little tricky considering all the action leading up to it, but it worked out! It’s also pretty cool that I got to do a shot of pre and post-war battlefields. This battlefield is family to me now.
Sketch by Ozzy Anschutz
Art by Ozzy Anschutz
Ozzy: Sketch vs final of Jane squinting at Vriska’s approach!! Sometimes you get lucky enough where the sketch comes out clean enough that it can practically work as lineart. This was one of those happy accidents.
Sollay: Her bloody “ughhgh wtf else is going on up there now” face is so funny to me. She’s basically holding her own against the rest of the Candy cast. You can say anything you want about this version of her, but you have to admit she’s been quite impressive. I’ll be the sole villain arc Jane enjoyer if I have to.
Art by Kim Quach
Kim: I’m a fan of how much Hell Tier Vriska’s face and details can distort in certain shots. She’s really just Cartoon. (Preemptively calling myself out, don’t mind the fact her wings and sash are missing here LOL. This shot is a lot more zoomed in the final so they inevitably were just cut off-screen.)
Art by Isaac
Isaac: I did my best to find the photo of me flipping this explosion off but sadly it’s lost in the depths of my phone. Homestuck has so many great explosions. I’ll never take them for granted again.
Miles: This shot was so, so sick, though, and one of the things I remember us talking about super duper early into the planning of this flash. You totally crushed it. As soon as we had the general idea of what was happening here our minds, NATURALLY, returned to that most illustrious of masterpieces, Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2007) for the Nintendo Wii, and one of the craziest shots in that entire immaculate saga that was the Subspace Emissary story mode: Kirby airstriking Bowser and Ganondorf’s ship with the Dragoon. The thing about Subspace Emissary- remembers we’re doing Homestuck right now The thing about Homestuck is that every now and then, you need to let a character really shine by blowing up something huge. This whole flash was rife with gorgeous action sequences but the final bit of Hell Tier Vriska tearing through the battlefield like an angel on meth is something I keep going back to. It almost makes you sad that generally there isn’t much sound design done for Homestuck flashes, because this would be a great place to get really chaotic and lasery with it.
Art by Isaac
Isaac: Awesome Hell Vriska slice!!!! This shot is so fun. The ship hull is loosely off of fishing trawlers for anyone curious at all. I’m glad there ended up being a zoom-in to the tiny jane, too :P
Art by Kim Quach
Kim: And finally… we’ve reached the LAST character shot of the flash. This particular moment whips by so quickly it’ll give you whiplash, but luckily here in our lovely commentary you guys can now drink up this shot in its full glory! (Plus, I worked hard on it, so please do help yourself to viewing it HAHA.)
Spicyyeti: just jumping in to take full credit for decapitated jane/talking head!jane. when i first watched the storyboard i misinterpreted the last shot as jane getting her head chopped off, when rly it was supposed to be vriska stopping her sword at janes neck. i was informed of this halfway through making the flash.
Full Reaction Gif for Context
Spicyyeti: jane couldn’t die in the story, but i was looking at the flash as a standalone piece where the action is rising and rising, so it felt anticlimactic to abort this epic momentum with a hard STOP.
Horrible Extension I Did Over Kim’s Good Drawing
Spicyyeti: i became mischievous. when kim showed his drawing of the last shot, i asked him to expand the background so that the camera could continue upward after tracking vriska to jane’s neck. with this camera movement it FEELS like the motion is followed through, even though it isn’t. Or is it?
Kim: How much longer this shot became just for this effect is quite funny actually. I even included a window, but I don’t think anyone even saw or knew that LOL.
Spicyyeti: i continued adding as much violence against jane as i could get away with. i ripped a blood squirt from one of jack’s massacres in hs1, then i broke her neck for 1 frame. it turned into something where i just kept asking “well she’s immortal anyway, so why not?”
Precursory Talking Head Drawing (Done by Me).
Spicyyeti: the talking head was outside the bounds of the flash but i suggested it. and everyone kept saying “why not?” jokingly until they started saying “why not.” seriously. think reanimator, or haunted mansion 2003, or lollipop chainsaw, but especially susie summer killer7……
Killer7
Miles: That call was hilarious because I think the transition from joke to serious was maybe less than a minute. Literally as soon as we started talking about it I went into the doc for the next update and replaced every dialogue instance of “Jane” with “Jane’s head” and just kept laughing and laughing; it changed basically nothing about how the update needed to be written but an already funny gag was taken to crazier and more hilarious heights. I guess I’ll save the rest of this for the next commentary, but seriously choice suggestion from Carmi, who saved our lives in so many ways on this animation it’d take an entire other commentary to list them all.
Floral: It was an amazing idea and EXACTLY what the flash needed. And honestly the most Homestuck way to handle the conflict.
Art by Annie “Chumi” Lee
Chumi: I did the very first shot of the whole flash… and now I end my work with the very last shot! Hell tier fire upon ye. 🫵
Compositing Process
Spicyyeti: YOU DONT KNOW HOW CLOSE I CAME TO REPLICATING CLASSIC HOMESTUCK IN-BROWSER .SWFS WHILE DEVELOPING THIS FLASH. YOU KNOW, THE ONES ADOBE FUCKING DESTROYEd2?2?2?????!!!!??!!!!??????!????? But i ran out of time so we used an mp4 (with custom programmed controls to trick you.)
Spicyyeti: the process of exporting this flash, from my end, looked something like this
Spicyyeti: pulling all this back up i dont wanna relive the trauma. im not even gonna bother to try explaining JHDGAKJLGDHGDS ill just link the flash guide i wrote for this project, which is sort of a tutorial for doing all the shit i did.
Spicyyeti: i plan to release the guide publicly the next time i finish a flash using the swf-replacement method that i ACTUALLY DID FINISH DEVELOPING FOR THIS PROJECT, I JUST DIDNT HAVE TIME TO CONVERT THE WHOLE THING BEFORE IT CAME OUT KAGLSKDAJF. kohi put me onto an adobe animate extension called pixianimate. its kind of abandoned, but basically what it can do is export your animation to webgl which has
pixel-perfect quality
good performance, equal to swfs
so pixianimate has that over adobe animate’s built-in export to html5 feature that uses createJS (also abandoned). BUT with the built in feature you can export with
javascript (interactive features)
sound
i had to program custom features and basically build all that shit back in when i exported with pixi. but i found it to be worth it, because AA’s export to html5 has significantly worse performance than swfs. and what we wanna do here is create a product either equal or better to what was done with flash-player in the beforetimes. next time…the flash wont be an mp4. I Can Tell You That Much.
Miles: Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kim: PHEW that was quite the hearty commentary wasn’t it, fellas? Look forward to the next one cos there’s definitely so much to cover for the upcoming update! (Honestly, when isn’t there?) Thanks for reading, as always!
