Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I'm sure all you are wondering about the hugely delayed third episode of The Elite Super Society Of Ninja And Samurai (T.E.S.S.O.N.A.S.). I've gotten many messages asking me about the release date. I'm glad that I now have a resource by which I can keep all of you updated on the progress. The reason why this 3rd episode has been taking so long to make is due to my recent (as in a year ago) enrollment into college. Things were going pretty smoothly, I was able to balance flash production and classes fairly well, but then something came up.

Here at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), I found that it was going to be holding a bi-annual student competition known as VisionFest. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to compete, for it may lead to an advancement in my animation career. So I, unfortunately, had to put the 3rd episode on hold until I could get the flash animation I was to submit to VisionFest done.

So the good news is that I recently finished my submission (used up a part of my soul) and I have plans to submit it here at NG after the competition (rules prevent me from submitting it before). But I must say, this has got to be my (and possibly THE) best flash....EVER. Ok, just until Episode 3 is released. But I'm fairly certain that everyone here at NG will be fairly amazed. I won't actually be able to submit it until around August 19th, so look for it then.

Anyways, I'm also happy to point out that I've been able to get back to work on Episode 3. I took about a month's break from flash because I was so worn out from the last flash, and its takin me a while to get things movin again. So far the 3rd episode is going to be longer than the 1st and 2nd episode combined, and overall, I'd say its about 50% done (but the last 50% is a biggie). Don't worry though, this one is turning out to be incredible and I know all of you are going to be very pleased.

Its worth the wait....

Until then,
-Flecko-

Ah yeah, prolly gonna be one of my "underground" works. :P I made a Flecko 2 piece after that, I'm pretty sure, but I don't think it got much attention....Speaking of which, those bastards at Flashportal still owe me 200$....

Holy crap, you go to Purdue? That's a huge college. Whatever, it's no fun if you make flash + fail college = no money. We all have school and understand what you're talking about. Can't wait for #3 to come out!

Ah, finally a word from the man himself, can't wait for TESSONAS ep.3 and your contest video, by the way, is it like "who'z-liek-da-best-student" contest or can you actually win a prize?
Hope you get one of the top spots!

Jul. 20, 2007 | 9:52 PM FleckoGold responds:

There is supposedly a prize for the top spot, though they're keepin' it all very hush hush, so I don't even know what it will be. Representatives from all sorts of animation companies, including Disney (which I don't care for, but shows the seriousness of it), are gonna be there scouting the student talent.

OMG this flash sounds amazing. What is it be about? ;)

Aug. 2, 2007 | 5:46 AM The-Yokai says:

Woohoo! It's about time we heard about TESSONAS 3!
A friend of mine is getting into Purdue so they're moving to Indiana from Portland OR...sucks for me :(
I look forward ot whatever you're submitting in August!

Aladdin ?

If this is that flash you were talking about... it blew my mind.

I hope you get to read my review to it, because it is what I really though :D
It is review number 49-53.

I really loved it man. You fucking rock !!

(Loved the hidden T.E.S.S.O.N.A.S. character in the background xD)

Aug. 20, 2007 | 10:49 PM FleckoGold responds:

I read it. I'm really happy and touched that I've been getting so many positive reviews. After losing at the VisionFest, I was feeling pretty down. I think Newgrounds is my safe haven. Your review was one of the more memorable reviews, I'm glad that I was able to get through to you so well. It's been a pleasure.

You need any help? I'm really good at the art part. Working on the animation...

Heres some examples of my work. Lots of superhero stuff. i'm working (albeit very slowly) on some animations of my own. So if you need any help let me know.

hey flecko if you ever need an extra voice or chacter in t.e.s.s.o.n.a.s. just ask or send a message or whatever it is all good.

Aug. 21, 2007 | 4:43 AM loyats says:

Man i knew I should have gone to UIPUI... makes me wonder if it's too late. If artistry such as yours comes from that place, I really need to start considering a transfer. okay enough hero worship, seriously, I started checking out your old stuff, thank you for doing what you do... you make sifting through the mounds of poo all worth it at the end of the day.

Aug. 21, 2007 | 11:30 AM FleckoGold responds:

So far, IUPUI has just been a fun place to hang out. (I hate to be non-spirited but I also don't want you to come out here for nothin) I must say that the only thing that I've learned here is some finite mathmatics and beginners HTML. The artistry has just come from practice and....LOTS of hours in front of the computer. Though I heard The Herron School of Art here across the street is pretty good, hard to get into, but good.

you've become so much better, gj buddy ^^

Aug. 22, 2007 | 7:43 AM bamsebomsen says:

You lost to an animation about bird calls?
..Really don't know what to say exept;
Did you smell sweed around the jugdes?

The "Aladdin 3150" flash was beautiful, when I first saw "Aladdin" stealing that apple and gave it to that poor child, I thought: "Cool, a Flecko film", boy, did that tail trick me..

I'm really happy that we, as a community, managed to make you a little more happy. You deserve it! Looking forward to your next release.

Aug. 22, 2007 | 11:32 AM someguy789 says:

You were right, It is the best flash ever. Well, worst case scenario it will be for a year or so, and top 50 for many years. It just has to.

Aug. 22, 2007 | 3:56 PM TjA says:

Good to see you back, hopefully TESSONAS wont have suffered by the delay and will be great (and humorous) as always.

Hey, can't wait till tessonas 3, and did you ever consider have tessonas t-shirts and other stuff cause i sure would buy that stuff and others would agree.

Sep. 1, 2007 | 11:54 AM JonBro says:

Can you provide a link to that bird calls thing?
I kinda want to see what that fuss was about.

Aladdin 3150, I must say, was absolutely incredible =)
I can't wait to see what you've got for us next.

UPDATE!!!!!lol

Feb. 13, 2008 | 7:43 PM CriticMonkey says:

Someone stole your Flash!On Youtube,somebody posted 'Aladdin 3150' and did not credit you, or Zombie Pimp! I'm not supposed to leave HTML so if you want to check, just search 'Aladdin 3150' on Youtube.

Apr. 22, 2008 | 3:42 PM FleckoGold responds:

Yeah, I saw it. I don't mind though, the poster did end up crediting me and kudos to him/her for being able to transfer the flash over to avi. A feat that I have yet to comprehend fully.

No, the real thieves are over there on Flash Portal. (They still owe me 200$ for sponsoring the Flecko flashes, by the way) There is some poser saying that he's FleckoGold and has uploaded the Aladdin short to the site. I want nothing to do with that site.
