Hey,

I published the second installment of the Agent Scarecrow series last night.
Since it was pushed out of the "latest submissions" list quite rapidly, I thought I would make a post to announce the release... without any fanfare trumpets though!

So here it is:

PLAY AS#2 NOW !!!

Hey fellow Newgrounders,

After taking a little break, I am back to the drawing board and working full time to deliver Agent Scarecrow #2 & #3 within the next few weeks.

I think (hope!) that this series will be memorable and deserves its own dedicated website.
So here it is: please visit agentscarecrow.com for all Scarecrow-related material.

Cheers,
JohnnyB

What's up fellow Newgrounders?

I've been working really hard to deliver AS #2 and #3 in a reasonable time.
Well.... I failed. It's been too long already and I faced multiple delays.
But your patience will pay off soon as I am pleased to announce that AS#2 is 99% completed and AS#3 is 60-70% completed.

Send me an email to agentscarecrow at gmail_com and I will bless you with the infinite pleasure of beta-testing the game.
Please, SERIOUS testers only. Otherwise, refrain yourself from spoiling what will be a magnificent game and just wait for the final and polished version.

Take care,
JohnnyB

Thanks to the beta-testers for their precious time and useful comments.

I released Get a LIfe a few moments ago.
Hopefully it will do well on the portal.

Would have been great to submit it for V-Day :/
I almost did it.

Hey there!

I am in deep need of original and high-quality tracks and loops for my various projects that are about to be published. I've already spent too much time browsing the audio portal. I mostly end up listening to tracks that do not fit my games or that have been used in 233 2459 submissions.

So I thought of doing things the other way around: calling composers and audio artists that are interested in joining forces :)

In the pipeline:

- Agent Scarecrow 2 and 3:
I need tracks/loops in the drum'n bass genre for various cutscenes and narration scenes
I need jazz- or classical-inspired songs for Peter's part of the story
I need songs that sounds like The Prodigy for fight scenes
I need high-paced, crazy electronic house tracks for a wild dance club location
I'd like to find a "villain" theme (would be playing in the background everytime we encounter the villain)

Please see screenshot below and Agent Scarecrow 1 for a rough idea: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/

- Sim game:
I need various tracks playing in the background of various locations.
I find this one particularly challenging cuz I don't know if what directions to go.

My idea would be to have multiple versions of the same loop OR to have multiple overlaying tracks if we can separate the instruments: smooth for the menu/home location, with more beats for the club/pub location, very sweet with flute or something for the park, sounding very crappy for the mall (like old speakers or something)... you get the idea? That way, the music would change (but only slightly) depending on the location but while keeping a general feeling of homogeneity.

- Comedy/Horror game:
I need various tracks that would fit a point-and-click game in which the player investigates an old haunted manor. So I need smooth but suspenseful tracks, horror tracks, uplifting tracks to be used in non-dangerous locations to make contrast.

The way I work is usually the following: submit any track that you think is of interest.
Then, I send screenshots and put scenes online to help you tweak the track if tweaking is necessary.
I see this as a total collaborative efforts i.e. you have your word to say and can get involved as much as you'd like in the creation process of the game.

PLEASE, send emails to johnnyb (at) johnnybdesign.com

wow, that's already a long post. Thanks to all for paying attention!
I am sincerely looking forward to collaborating with you.

Hey there,

I am looking for beta testers for my latest game that is reminiscent of The Sims, Sim Girl or anything similar.

pm me if interested and I'll reply with the link.

Please apply only if you'll do this seriously and turn a review in.

Thx for your time!
JB

Hey there,

Since the release of Jack French #3, http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/
405669, I have been submerged by emails asking whether I would make a 4th one or if we should consider this a perfect ending to a perfect story.

(For those who don't know yet, the third episode answers several questions left opened in the first two chapters)

In my reviews, I also stated that I would let the fans decide.

Guess what: you get to decide whether I make a 4th one or if I put an axe in the series.
Record your vote now!!! http://johnnybdesign.com/forum/index.p hp?topic=360.0

Hi everyone :)

1- Update on AS:

As said in the previous post, I work days and nights to provide you with the best Jack French episode ever (JF3, entitled Jack French and the Seven Dwarfs)

Next, I will get back to the making of Agent SCARECROW chapters 2 and 3. I intend to release both chapters simultaneously in order to prevent the wait in between chapters. Thanks again to the excellent voice actors/music composers who are contributing to the series.

I am confident that the next chapters will be a blast!

2- Help anyone?

I am always looking for collaborators for the AS series.

I could especially use some help with fighting / shooting scenes as I don't have a lot of experience in coding those. If you are interested, please drop me a line :) If you know a savvy artist who might want to lend a hand, pass the word! :)

Cheers,
JB

Hi all,
You have asked for it! You have waited for it! I am really happy to announce that Jack French 3 is coming really soon.

After a long wait (that seemed to last forever, yeah! I know...) the third installment of the series is almost completed. Again, I apologize for the delays... either, in or out of my control.

Meanwhile, you can visit our website for synopsis and screenshots: Jack French 3 : Jack French and the Seven Dwarfs.
