The project is going fine, don't worry about it.

I started uploading movies on Newgrounds when I was in secondary 4 and now in less than a week I start university. When I look at all these projects I realize that I never said a lot about me. This may be late but here it is.

First of all, everybody get my username wrong. It's not actually Player-exe but Player.exe, the only reason for this is because the website refuse dots in username. While this is ending in .exe, like any executable file in Windows, I actually hate Microsoft. I got this username a long time ago, when I made a simple 2D shooter in visual basic 6. The character was by default Player 1, and game after game this became Player.exe.

Of course, this was a long time ago. I started to create animation at that time, but it was not Flash. I started animating using PowerPoint. While the framerate was worse than a cd-i game, it was still very cool for the time. I also made simple games using the same software using mouseover links going straight to a gameover screen. They were mouse avoider games like some you can see on the website. My best project was a game called Super Luigi Advance, a Mario themed mouse avoider where Luigi has to save the princess.

I got a bigger interest in animation in secondary 1 when my dad decided to upgrade our old computer that could barely support Windows XP to a dual core system with a built in TV card. The first thing I did was to install Project 64, I could finally get a graphic card working correctly. My dad had a book on Flash, so he could help me to learn how to use the software. He could not help me a lot, so I used the CD with the book and a few lessons from a science camp to learn on my own.

I discovered sprite movies when the Spriters Ressource was still called Sprite.Fireball20xl, this was a long time ago. Thanks to Super Mario Bros Z I decided to try to make some fight scenes in Flash. They were not very good at the time, mostly because I made them to work on the PSP Flash player. For those who already used it, this is very slow. The main reason for this was to show them to my friends at school.

My first big project was Mario Vs. Mario, it was running at only 15 fps because it was still made to run on a PSP. The sound was bad too, because the total RAM allowed on the web browser is limited to 1.5 megabytes. Reviews were mixed, but most of them said this was painfully slow. I decided to do something very different after that, something short and fast. Mario's Hammer was a very stupid project, the sequel is not any brighter. The most positive thing about the sequel was that I decided to upgrade to Flash 8, with a built in realtime effect manager.

My first serious project is Yoki's Story ... 2. I seriously hate the first one, the animation was bad and the scenario was even worse. I was not sure if I could upload it, I did and I still regret it. The second episode was made very fast to forget the first one. The original plot included a part where Yoki had to steal a star for Bowser so he could get more information about Reswob. I don't remember exactly why I scrapped that part but I think it was because I did not had enough time for it.

I made episode 3 and 4 after that, then two comedy projects. Tale of a stupid plumber was very weird, I made it in secondary 5 when I was working on a separate project for a school class where you had to make a big project on something that could be related to your future job. At that time I was sure I would work for the video game industry so I did a project mixing 2D and 3D animation.

I was wrong, at the end my dad made me realize I should go to university to learn electronic engineering. I started college just after that. 2011 was a very boring year, I could not work a lot because of my classes. Even worse, my computer started to fail. I could not even browse internet on it and my netbook decide to catch a virus disabling any application running on it. This was a very bad year for me, this delayed Yoki's Story 5 a lot.

I needed a job to get myself a good computer, I got very lucky to get one that summer. I lost a lot of weekends with it but I could finally buy myself a Macbook Pro. This was done with Microsoft, all I had to do was to run Flash using Wine. I could finally have something powerful enough to try new software. I tried Blender thanks to a guy from my school I met after a class.

And we are now, Yoki's Story 6 is in production and I am still discovering new things. I suck at writing conclusions, so here's a picture of my work desk. I could not say everything, so comment and ask questions if you want.
