Hey there again people from SP! I've been working on a short for the Sega Shorts and came up with an idea for the game from Sega Genesis, Dynamite Headdy! A lot of you should know (if you don't go play the game! and I mean right now!) this guy for switching heads with the help of Headcase, so I explored that idea into something. Enough, just watch it: http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/741f536915ef0d212683e95e73beb2ff Tell me what you think. |

I love the animation, it's very detailed, and it's just great. This is probably because I never played Dynamite Headdy, but I honestly just don't get the joke. Anyone....care to explain? (This is also probably the same reason Headdy's Consequences makes no sense to me.) |

Don't you dare call me Sonicgay, OR ELSE... I make half-decent Stickman animations. You might like them. Oh, I also like Sonic, Mario, Powerpuff Girls, Sonic, Sonic, SpongeBob, and Sonic. Did I mention Sonic? | |

First off I love this game and always thought it had a similar feel to Ristars game play. Now about the animation itself I too think the art is spot on, however like Sonicyay I think the joke is a bit hit and miss and I don't really understand what the punchline is, though I may have a idea of what it was from a guess and that's not really good for execution if one has to guess the joke. Please enlighten me on what you was trying to pull off and maybe I can give a little more feed back on how you can add a bit more for it to work. |

Thanks for the praise on the animation, I really appreciate it ![]() About the joke, let's see. The idea was for Headdy to hit Headcase, and instead of changing his head, he gets Spoiler: click to toggle , lol.I thought that the pervert face of Headdy at the end, and the "blue pill" on the Headcase box, was pretty self explanatory. I guess I should have wrote "Viagra" on the pill instead

The joke doesn't really come off like that, Its more he hits his head and gets awkward, actually i think it would be more funny if something along the lines that Headdy actually misses headcase completely and his head flies off and something can be done with that. However I would wait for more feedback as we have really good critics here like Smegerama who can really give you a idea on what is wrong and how to go about it.

I think I know a way to make it work as it is. However, I'm waiting more suggestions before working on it again. I would also like to hear something from the Mods, but it seems SP is a little sleepy lately :/ |

Yea a lot of them are on working on projects for Vectors Knickers and Sega Shorts, others have been busy with school or jobs. |

Greetings, -Yawn- We're not asleep -Hides the sleeping bag- at all! You saw nothing! XD In all seriousness though we are around, and we have seen the animation. It was passed along to two of our members who have put numerous amounts of hours into playing Dynamite Headdy. Don't be discouraged if they don't say anything, but in the very least we do see the posts and we try to pass them on. Very Respectfully, Shadow Remix Edited by ShadowRemix, Saturday Aug 9 2014, 01:28 AM.

The artwork looks nice as people have said but the walks need work as they feel too floaty and obviously motion-tweened without any smoothing out. And also Heather's shock reaction could be a bit snappier in terms of timing. As for the joke itself it doesn't quite work as the mechanics of Dynamite Headdy is that it's Headdy's actual head that changes and this joke could be easily interchangeable with others (Sonic jumping on a viagra powerup box, Golden Axe characters picking up viagra after kicking one of those sprites) etc. To make it more specific to the franchise you could for example have the camera cut away to Heather just before his head comes back into view, Heather gets a look of shock and sees his head has changed into a black CENSORED! box with Headdy's eyes on it and then show the powerup. |

I was one of those people Shadoo message me about this thread. *Repeat of others opinion about the art, and Boozermans opinion about the animation here.* The joke, to me, wasn't that great (I took Viagra, look at my penis grow! (( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) ), and Boozerman pretty much already explained my other complaint because of the games mechanics, and the joke could be a bit better if done that way. |

Allright, finally got the time to reply to this. As the resident Sonic Paradox TREASURE Nut, hopefully my critique will come of good use to you. First of all, the animation. One of the biggest hurdles our animators usually have has already been leaped for you; while the animation itself is a little slow and muddy, the art quality is definitely of SEGA Shorts caliber. The background is drawn very well and very faithfully and both headdy and heather/fingy have their characters very well represented. In terms of actual animation I'd heed boozer's advice here, and don't really think I need to add any more to it. Now, the reason half of SP has yelled at me to look at this thing...the joke. The biggest problem with the joke here is the sheer wasted potential of it. The awkward and somewhat innocent romantic encounters between headdy and heather are highly open for satirization, but jokes about viagra and boners are far, FAR overdone in submissions here, even for obscure franchises like headdy. There's no real connection to the game as well - Headdy was more or less manipulated/teased by heather after each level, and there's never an actual romantic encounter. This leaves people that have never played it confused and people that have betrayed. On top of that, every head powerup (save for shrink) physically changes the head headdy wears, while none such change occurs here. Honestly, in my opinion, this short needs a complete rewrite to work both as a Headdy short and a SEGA short. I'm willing to formulate one, but before I invest more of my time in doing so I'd like to know you'll be willing to go through with it. Reply as such and I'll work something up for you as a base joke using the same assets/setting - you'll likely need to change animation, perhaps add some voices, but you WILL be able to keep and include some of what you've done so far. TL, DR; It looks good but it just doesn't work at all. I'll write a new gag that uses the same art that works if you reply that you're willing to work at it. |

Deeply sorry for the "late" response. I've been seeing the feedback on my phone, but didn't got near my pc to give a full-proper response till now. I appreciate all the feedback you guys gave so far, as well as the words of praise. First off, after all the points you guys gave about the joke, I started to think the same way. In fact it has little to no relation with Headdy, despite the game references. Anyway, I actually liked BoozermaN's idea. I think it works really well, and it's a funny surprise seeing the Censured head. However, I would like to hear your idea, Recorderdude. I am more than willing to give this short more work and make it much better. Depending on what you are thinking to do, I might be able to do it! However, take into consideration that despite the art on this short, I'm a mediocre animator. What makes it look good is the huge time I invested on the shades and shadows, and not on the quality of the animation itself, so to speak. Other thing is the fact that you want to add voices to it, simply because the idea of adding mouth motion to Headdy and Heather scares the shit out of me, since I honestly am afraid if I can really pull that off (their mouths are weird lol). Anyway, all this things aside, I promise I'll put all efforts into it and try to make it work no matter what. As such, if you want to help me, I am more than willing to invest my time to add my contribution to the Sega Shorts! |
