IT'S TIM


http://www.somethingawful.com/d/fla...blo-cartoon.php

Starting with POTUMBLO (as well as some of the previous cartoons this year,) all future Flash Tubs will be in mp4 format. This is to help make the 'Tub viewable on iOS systems. Yes, they are an important part of the audience to consider.

The show will be animated in Flash, as always, and interactive episodes will still be in SWF format. Sorry about last week, but Lowtax was hard at work getting this to work in the most streamlined way possible. WE DID IT!

One more step in completing Steve Job's dying wish, the elimination of Flash.

Just need a Hard-hat Spider-man covered in third degree burns and we're set!

The MP4 Tub doesn't sound as good though.

I like the tumbling potato dog Potumblo, but I don't like the lack of something to click on at the end to get a bonus scene. I don't care how this is implemented (or what kind of Tub this becomes), but I do miss that feature. Being able to run back the Tub is good though.

I realized on rewatching the Potumblo video that what I think is supposed to be the extra bit has just been tacked onto the end of the proper Potumblo and runs immediately. That really doesn't work well. It diminishes both parts. If there isn't a way to make the extra reel dependent on a click then I reckon it would be better to insert a long pause with a black screen between the end of the proper Potumblo experience and the extra bit, assuming the goal is to make a single linear video with no special interactivity.

Before I felt fine,
but now I feel weird.

Potumblo was the funniest video I've seen in a long time. Excellent voice acting.

Was this one of those deals where you animated a riff between you and, I think, Lowtax?

But... But... My Easter eggs!

Potumblo was horrifying.

Wait, does this mean the old cartoons you'll be replacing will lose their secrets? Because if you replace French Pac-Man my little nephews are going to be heartbroken. They love shouting "Secret! Secret!" at the end.

This is the second greatest FlashMP4Tub ever.

If you plant Potumblo, does love grow?

If you cut Potemblo cleanly in half and then plant it, does it grow into two Potemblos?

What shall we do with him? A permaban, perhaps? Probate him for a few years? Or...shall we employ a big red custom title? You, the goons of SA, shall decide his fate.

The original Flash version is still up at the Internet Wayback Machine.

I hope we get to see more of POTUMBLO's adventures.
