Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Play it right now. BoMToons and I have busted ass this past week to finish it by friday for the maxgames contest, and he's still been working tirelessly to update it all weekend. It's finally finished though, as finished as it'll ever get. It's not a perfect game, and there're some things I would've like there to be in it that had to be cut, BUT IT'S DONE FINALLY. We could win a bunch of money for it, so hope for us.

ALSO: I am researching ancient China and martial arts for a flash about a guy fighting a ton of other guys in a restaurant. Any resources giving information on that time period would be appreciated, since I want to give it at least some historical accuracy. PS: This is an excuse to watch a whole lot of cheesy kung-fu movies for fighting material. recommendations?

ALSO: I'm looking for a nice zip-up hoody shirt with something nic on it for people to look at. shop for me

ALSO: The great thing about Flash isn't finishing the games, it's showing everyone online that I did.

Buccaneer Battle is Just like Castle Crashers...The battle stuff

Nov. 2, 2008 | 6:33 PM Ansel responds:

if you mean "fighting people with swords," yes.

Nov. 2, 2008 | 6:43 PM wasb says:

I thinks it's very funny how people are relating Buccaneer Battle to Castle Crashers, sure it's similar in some way I.E. sword fighting and the same kind of graphic style but it's different in some many other ways!

Hahaha fucking xbox kid

I loved the game man, gave you a big fat ten.

You need a front page spot!!!!

Nov. 2, 2008 | 9:26 PM Ansel responds:

yah it's goin on fp soon, now that it's the final version.

Kung Fu Hustle
Shaolin Soccer
Enter the Dragon
Kung Fu Panda (seriously!)
Fist of Fury
Game of Death
Ong-Bak

Nov. 2, 2008 | 7:35 PM DaxI says:

Lenko brings up a good point. Shiaolin Soccer will DEFENETLY help you.
Watch bloodsport though, or any movie with Jean Claude Van Damme.

Nov. 2, 2008 | 7:39 PM Luis says:

You shouldnt take it so personally when people compare your game/art to dan's... the similarities are blatant and we all know you are a skilled artist in your own right. :)

Nov. 2, 2008 | 9:56 PM Ansel responds:

i can't help but take it personally when it's a personal attack :/

thanks though :D

Nov. 2, 2008 | 7:48 PM ZekeySpaceyLizard says:

"the similarities are blatant"

"blatant"

ouch.
talk about yer backhanded compliments!

Nov. 2, 2008 | 8:06 PM Nogfish says:

Street Fighter
Legend of 8 Samurai
Street Fighter's Last Revenge
Shogun Assassin
Return of the Street Fighter
Enter the Dragon
Kung Fu: Punch of Death
Raw Force
Sister Street Fighter

These are what I can safely recommend as great kung fu movies

I'm extremely into old grindhouse movies so if you have any questions, just hit me up.

also, the game was pretty boss

GET IT? oh gosh I'm so good.

Nov. 2, 2008 | 8:07 PM thedo12 says:

you have the same genre of drawings as dan.

its like alot of people draw anime , but you can have difernt styles of anime and still call it anime.The problem is no one what else to call your style genre of drawing other then dan paladinish.

we need to make up a name.

@thedo
I'm tired

Nov. 2, 2008 | 8:35 PM squeakytoad says:

Quality entertainment, dear boy.

And bah, ignore "blatant similarties" accusations. I fail to see how two artists having somewhat similar art styles constitutes the massive crime against humanity everyone constantly makes it out to be.

Nov. 2, 2008 | 9:27 PM Ansel responds:

i have trouble figuring that out too :[

Nov. 2, 2008 | 8:44 PM lenkobiscuit says:

Also

Police Story. Watch it.

Nov. 2, 2008 | 9:28 PM Wiiporter says:

@ squeaky

being blatantly similar to someone who is awesome is a good thing, moron.

Nov. 2, 2008 | 9:50 PM JT1 says:

Everyone who matters knows that you are not copying Dan Paladin. Your work is independently awesome.

Nov. 2, 2008 | 9:52 PM MindChamber says:

Ace work man, I really love your animations

Nov. 2, 2008 | 9:54 PM Ansel responds:

more like

Nov. 2, 2008 | 10:16 PM I-smel says:

Wasnit me what told you about the Maxgames contest? Until this week I was in with a chance, but fuck, I want you to win anyway. This game beats the shit out o mine.
Fuckin- RAFT BATTLE ON THE HIGH SEAS, ON IT'S OWN WOULD'VE BIN ENOUGH. I love it. It's arcade, it's fast, you fight guys an it looks fit.
What was cut btw? If you got any boss ideas or ought, fuckin make another one.

Nov. 2, 2008 | 11:09 PM Ansel responds:

yeah it was you

THANKS FOR MAKING ME MURDER MYSELF FOR A WEEK >:C

everything is basically in there, but the kraken and the raft battle both have some attacks that had to be left out... it's a lot of little parts of the bigger thing that suffered. Someday we ought to release a deluxe enhanced version with everything in it. in like, 5 years

Nov. 2, 2008 | 11:22 PM BoMToons says:

5 years?

...

Too soon.

:-P

Nov. 3, 2008 | 5:00 PM Ansel responds:

and most of the work'd be up to you anyway :[

if you ever are interested in finishing it up though, putting in all the things I originally planned, I'd be happy to :)

Nov. 3, 2008 | 8:34 AM Luis says:

Hmm I'll have to agree with Zekey on calling foul. Sorry about that comment.. it wasnt tailored to be two-faced... :(

Nov. 3, 2008 | 5:00 PM Ansel responds:

heh :3

Nov. 3, 2008 | 9:55 AM nathanielmilburn says:

this should really get front paged, not sure why it hasn't.

Nov. 3, 2008 | 4:59 PM Ansel responds:

it was actually left off the fp on purpose until we got the final version up

it's on there now, though :D

Nov. 3, 2008 | 1:13 PM super-sense says:

Don't see how this game didn't win an award. The game engine was really fun, and the graphics really suited the gamplay.

Unfortunatly, as I was playing I kept thinking 'I've never played Castle Crashers, but I bet this is what feels like to play'.

Anyway, great game, a longer sequel would be great.

Nov. 3, 2008 | 5:01 PM Ansel responds:

it didn't win an award because it was on a busy weekend day and it wasn't done :[

thanks, though :)

Nov. 3, 2008 | 2:59 PM squidly says:

Cheesy kog-fu, Showlin showdown was a pretty good show at the time, and that movie with Jackie China and that blond haired guy as cowboys going to England to stop some weird thing was pretty good too.

Nov. 3, 2008 | 3:23 PM MindChamber says:

Btw I just noticed your age was 15.. I think its safe to say you are a prodigy.

Nov. 3, 2008 | 5:01 PM Ansel responds:

well thank ye

Nov. 3, 2008 | 3:55 PM Kaneda-X says:

Cock joke.

Nov. 3, 2008 | 4:58 PM Ansel responds:

do you actually think anyone finds this funny

Nov. 3, 2008 | 4:04 PM Wasim says:

I agree with Mindchamber. That you're a prodigy and NO NOT THE FIRESTARTER!

Nov. 3, 2008 | 7:08 PM Luis says:

I guess what im trying to say is that you suck Ansel.

Theres just too much positive feedback here. It needed a mole.

Nov. 3, 2008 | 8:50 PM Ansel responds:

oh man have you ever even BEEN to my deviantart page

that one needs, like, an extra FACE growing off of it

Nov. 3, 2008 | 7:31 PM AustinBreed says:

It was insanely fun, dude. :>

Nov. 6, 2008 | 5:12 PM rome-lherison says:

yes really

Nov. 6, 2008 | 8:46 PM willobeen says:

Hey...I have a question, what ever happened to the robot cartoon you were making? The one with rammstein in it?

Nov. 6, 2008 | 9:14 PM Ansel responds:

it's on the backburner right now but i'm still doin it. I invested too much time already to abandon it now.

Nov. 6, 2008 | 10:35 PM MorrowDays says:

great game. good luck on that ninja(ish?) thing, hope it turns out well and doesnt take up all your time! :P

Nov. 8, 2008 | 5:32 PM full-metal-albatross says:

I'm sure that isn't a picture of you... is it? Cause lol you look like a retard. And you basically copy dan Paladin don't try to hide it, I have my own style too and I'm a decent artist. When Castle Crashers came out I was like, I like this game I wonder if I can draw the character and without looking at a picture I drew it perfect it isn't hard lol. its easy to copy anyone.

Nov. 8, 2008 | 6:21 PM Ansel responds:

lmfao no that's not me >> http://encyclopediadramatica. com/360_Kid

ffffffffffnaaaarrrgh

Nov. 10, 2008 | 12:04 AM crisis105 says:

I loved buccaneer!wish it were longer though.

Nov. 10, 2008 | 8:45 AM Ansel responds:

yeah me too :C

Nov. 12, 2008 | 5:15 PM PieLover61 says:

Hey Ansel, I'd love to talk, mind if I add you on AIM?

Nov. 16, 2008 | 8:23 AM Rion-hunter says:

Kill Bill is a good one.
though it's hardly cheesy.
nor unheard of :P
though it's R 18+ here.

Nov. 16, 2008 | 7:03 PM Dead-eagle says:

Hey, bucaneer battle is a nice game! Also I loved your drawings of Larvae....
They are really cool! Im hoping to see your martial arts flash ;)

Nov. 16, 2008 | 7:40 PM Dead-eagle says:

Also, Larvae II or larvae game plis!!
:3

Nov. 19, 2008 | 6:05 PM willobeen says:

It's not Ego's fault that he has such good ratings. :/

Nov. 19, 2008 | 6:19 PM Ansel responds:

no, and I blame his fans for most of what I hate about him, but he CONTINUES TO MAKE THESE after acknowledging that his movies aren't as good as everyone says they are AND after saying he was done with them forever. He keeps going back to what he knows will be a popular success.

Nov. 19, 2008 | 9:51 PM willobeen says:

I guess thats true, but its all in good fun.

Nov. 19, 2008 | 10:35 PM Ansel responds:

you and jonbro are the brightest young pupils in newgrounfs

Nov. 20, 2008 | 10:09 PM Ansel responds:

top o the class

(not really)

Nov. 22, 2008 | 3:42 AM willobeen says:

I promise you, that is only going to be there for a day or two, its soon going to be replaced by something different. Don't get me wrong, I don't actually think that Ego is all that good at making cartoons, nor does he deserve all the credit he's given. I'm just saying its sort of a lost cause to argue about that sort of thing.

Nov. 23, 2008 | 12:10 AM Ansel responds:

Why would you put his movie as your #1 favorite if you didn't think he deserved it?

Nov. 23, 2008 | 6:25 AM willobeen says:

i change my fav's daily, just because I have a different favorites every day. :3

Nov. 23, 2008 | 2:28 PM Penboy says:

I think you're amazing.

Nov. 24, 2008 | 5:50 PM Emanhattan says:

I wish that silly man in the picture was really you so I wasnt so jealous
