Hey, that's my tool! Thanks for the shoutout and review!

[@oimwiolevrai]

@ me too

[@EmNudge]

That discord notif sound at 5:30 got me good.

[@gamefromscratch]

Yeah sorry my bad. Forgot to exit before recording. Discord is always the one that I miss.

[@EmNudge]

@@gamefromscratch Discord always turns into streamer mode when I open OBS. Does it not do that for you? In that mode the notifs are silenced.

[@Vexelius]

I am very impressed at your ability to deliver new content almost everyday... Sometimes, even two or three times a day! Thank you very much for everything you do to keep us informed of all these awesome tools. This one in particular gave me a flashback, when I was in high school and started doing my own flash animations and mini-games after receiving a copy of Macromedia Flash MX bundled with some PC magazines.

[@ultimateloser3411]

Gamesfromscratch: Hey dude look at this cool new engine. Oh and we have some free assets to get this month. Me: Look at all the engines and assets I'm haven't even opened yet

[@orokro_stuff]

You totally didn't use tweens correctly at all, haha. You're supposed to set tweening on, drag the clip length out, then go to a future frame inside the clip length, then MOVE/SCALE/ROTATE the object and it will add a tweened frame. You don't draw each frame by hand. Also there's a circle tool. This video must have been rushed.

[@BatteryProductions]

WHAT!!! gamesfromscratch rushing videos!?? noooooooo...........

[@souptaels]

Yeah, he really doesn't know most of the programs that he showcases which is a shame because it just makes him look unprofessional and kinda silly.

[@erayzesen361]

I remembered macromedia flash times with this. A recommendation; add the editor and any game frameworks integration.(Maybe it can be possible with an extension system) It can fill level editor-image editor-animation side of the game frameworks. Then believe me, this product becomes awesome. Using a flash-like editor with popular game frameworks would be a great experience.

[@ptrdblmeter]

It's open source.

[@noiJadisCailleach]

I suddenly thought about Spriter 2 & Alchemist while watching. Those guys really deserve an Epic Megagrant.

What is alchemist? Sorry, it’s not an easy term to google without lots of junk results to sift through

I love videos from this channel. It is so helpful, and raises awareness to things that might have been missed by some people.

[@joaocesarlima7339]

Pretty cool! Very simple and effective. It reminds me of the Flash and AS2 era.

[@snesmocha]

So flash 2? Yeyyyy I can finally do something in class

[@WebGame2k]

Flash 2.0 was released in 1997

[@snesmocha]

@@WebGame2k it was a joke lmao

[@EricFaries]

This animation engine is pretty dope, question though. That code editor, where you can literally just click a thing and it places the base code down for you to edit, is that a thing that other scripting software have for other languages? XD Cause yo that is sooooooooo useful!! It's even organized by what type of line and such it is!

[@justalilbitnerdy]

I believe the beta in export video was meaning that the video export feature is in beta, not that it exports in beta format. It exports to mp4

[@rhdevelops6023]

Nah. What they mean by exporting a beta file, is the Wick people tracking down your address and mailing you a Betamax tape with the animation on it.

[@ZachHixsonTutorials]

Me: Looks cool. Might try it out GFS: [Mentions code editor] Me: Heavy breathing...

[@HexOverride]

Finally you made a wick editor video

[@KennyCutout]

Pretty cool the things they do have but maann is it a long was from replacing flash. Just poking around for a few minutes and I noticed the pressure sensitivity didn't work, can't alter the pivot point, can't rotate symbols beyond 180 degrees and worse of all, the strokes aren't seamless curves. And then it's browser based so I can't use right click or Alt. Still the core of it looks very promising like being able to have animated symbols within animated symbols. I hope they keep going because I'd love to have a proper Flash alternative.

[@WebGame2k]

At some point it should be better than Flash as it was made with software superior to flash

[@mr.manning4119]

I make my infographics in Hitfilm, what other capability do you have in mind?

[@alpercaner2923]

does this have a runtime player like flash player. how can we run games in browser or desktop created by this tool?

[@davidb4020]

How can you make so many videos that are usefull and good? I can barely keep up listening to them.

[@blackswan6386]

this is the After Effect killer ? wow !

[@haruruben]

Flash still exists! It’s called Adobe Animate!

[@silvernskye5132]

It's expensive tho, this is free

[@haruruben]

silvernSkye oh, free is definite bonus points

[@basementdwellR]

I still use Flash MX 2004. :D

[@WebGame2k]

Cool

[@AmazonicoIndio]

Thougth this was a way to edit scaleform files in 2020 now since adobe is no longer supporting the format, but game engines like source and cryengine still use it. Bummer.

[@bluethe_bot_academy]

>u< oww man......wick editor is better than flash......it really helps me a lot >u

[@jamesf2811]

Does it support/import flash animations or programs? How secure is it?

[@igorgiuseppe1862]

nope, it dont import flash animations. but since its open source, you can hire someone and pay then to add new features to it, including support for importing flash animations... or you can code it yourself if you know how to. keep in mind that, flash is not open source, so you will have to make reverse enginering on it before you can import anything, and that means waste a lot of time/money, fortunatelly many people already started efforts in reversing flash, unfortunatelly no one finished such efforts, so depending on the animation/version of flash that it was done, you may have bad results when trying to import it... as for the security, since its open source you can pay anyone to take a look at the code to see if its safe, or take a look at it by yourself (if you know how to code) i didnt looked my self, but i would say its quite secure, since it run in a browser its already sandboxed, and since its open many people may already have looked into the code and they can tell if something was wrong.

[@maxwright9069]

Heh, I used this for months. But then the program crashed after only 300 frames and the bucket tool

[@WebGame2k]

Not for me

The free browser version of Adobe Animate.

[@guilledcf1547]

looks fun :D

[@TheRonpe]

I think you can do similar stuff with Blender grease pencil. Personally, I don't use tools where you work with javascript, but maybe this is useful to someone.

[@arifbukhari2846]

Ever made a game mike?

[@gamefromscratch]

Not since starting GFS, this baby takes all my time.

[@gladiumcaeli]

It would be great to have mike do a game in a game jam ( since it takes about 3 days). And put it on steam for anyone who wants to support him could just buy his game 😁.

[@danieleccleston7928]

Yea I knew about this, I wanted to try and make a native animation tool similar to this because I hate web based applications, but its pretty decent

[@KANDYMANIAC]

Same. I love offline software and tools. I’ve been burnt by tools and web apps suddenly disappearing. Looks like you can offline Wick if you know enough to set up a webserver forum.wickeditor.com/t/downloading-wick/416/3

[@igorgiuseppe1862]

@@KANDYMANIAC web and online arent the same thing. wick can be used offline (for instance, if you setup your own server as you pointed out)

[@KANDYMANIAC]

igor giuseppe huh? The definition of a web based application is a piece of software run on a web server normally almost always accessible over the internet. I was letting the OP know that Wick can be run like a desktop app, stored locally on his machine. I’m happy to be proven wrong but I don’t believe the OPs comment was bemoaning software that is rendered in a web-browser.

[@basementdwellR]

That was not a tween. That's not even close to how you use it. It's like you have never even made a powerpoint presentation :D Still I enjoy your suggestions even if I don't trust your presentations ;)

I dont think the software knows how to tween between one sketch to the other. At least not yet.

[@souptaels]

It does, he just didn't do it right, pointed out by other people.

[@Potatinized]

@@souptaels can you quote one to me? Cant find it. The only one i can find says exactly like what I said.

[@souptaels]

@@Potatinized one comment from hypurban that also said that he didn't use it correctly

[@Potatinized]

@@souptaels yeah, that's the one that i saw. his comment is basically what mine as well. It cant work on different sketches. Just one sketch, and animate that one sketch around. You cant sketch several circles and expect it to automatically know how to connect between the two sketches. I used flash animation a lot before. So i'm familiar with this technology.

[@aethernova]

Nice try, but it still so far from Flash functional.

Nah you can run it locally

you dont, you can run an local server, the only issue is that you will still run it on the browser, but i dont see how that is an issue.
