Hello

You maybe remember me, but here's the thing: I share your worldview regarding the fact that you literally fight with yourself to finish the project. That after studying your head is splitting and you force yourself to do animation or drawing because you know for yourself, that you are worth more than just being white collar, I don’t know if it sounds idealistic, naive or not. But I think it is important to have this kind of freedom in terms of creativity and it also develops discipline. Yet there's a line when it comes from discipline to obsession, I've been animating for 7 years now and maybe I answered why am I doing this - "This is one of the few things I can do really well and it pays off by validation and praise from others". But in other hand I understand that if I want a possibility of making animations for a living, I have to change format of animations so I would be happier person as a whole. Don't listen to people who say "art world sucks" and don't envy those who make ugh...You know, "that" type of animation and have a large following , we both know you're better than that. There is art that is easily perceived by the majority, and there is the opposite. You and I are working and overcoming, pushing boundries now, so that it will be easier later and still become who we want and not being someone who would make a benefits from us. I wish you good luck on your path, it will not be easy but I believe it's still worth it, who knows what waits for us next ?

Sincerely
Den Smith

Glad I'm not alone in this! And yes, madness is one of the few things I know how to do, so it's true that over the years I've found comfort in the fact that, one way or another, it's my area of expertise, and I could only 'push the boundaries,' as you said. I think that played a big role in why I kept animating.

Shit man! tryharding in the madness cartoon and now in life? becoming the medical assistant will be but a hell to you, a one pleasurable hell once it reaches the end, wishes you the best of luck dude!

Thanks you so much, especially from on of the best animator in there, that really does make me feel HAPPY !

This is really impressive 2 years of development, just how?! You should be really proud of yourself look how far you've gone you deserve some rest.
I gotta say what you have wrote inspire me to keep pushing myself and stop procrastinated,I can feel your emotion through the post I don't know how to explain it.
But I gotta ask, have you any plan of doing something other then Madness? Like your own animation series or just any else I'm really curious about it, you really got something that you could dig.

Happy Madness Day 2024!
Have a good life and keep going!

If people push beyond their limits because of me, that would be amazing, that's also what life is about! Otherwise, to answer your question, no, I don't have anything else planned other than fully focusing on my studies. I have to admit that, creatively speaking, what has really been interesting me lately is music, specifically rap, but we'll see how things turn out !!!

it is real. sometimes my parents are don't understand why spend so much time on madness.they think i should learn how to make more money with that. but i just doing it for much fun and know many good friend with the community. so i think it's more like a way to drain. in deep heart. must do it to balance. time goes fast . the most important thing is that you just keep the work and release it out. cost so many things. can't tell it in one word. sry for suck at eng. I believe that the vast majority of the time is enjoyed, at least the result of the finished product brings satisfactory results. keep going man. i like to watch it over and over again. nail it

Truly no questions, I want to say to you that the way you worked your way out i must say HUGE RESPECTS man and honestly wish you only the best, I truly can't wait to see what you will make in the future, as for now take a break and take your time man you truly deserve it!

Thanks a lot man !!!!

I have to say, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen an animation with such great story, framing, and production. No amount of praise can match the effort you’ve put in. But honestly, sometimes the challenges and drawbacks of growing up mean we have to focus more on life and work issues, more everyday stuff and expenses. It’s really tough, but I believe you’ll find a balance between life and your passion in the future. Love all your work! Wishing you all the best and good luck in the future.

Lanrund omggg, first thing first THANKS TO YOU, to be that much a nice artist !!

And thanks for that message sharing your feelings does help me to not feel alone.... GOOD LUCK YOU TOO !!!! :)

Life is brutal. For a long time I thought time passing by fast is bad thing because my life is shorter, but nowadays I see more clearly that it actually makes what we do more worth it.
I don't see my self leaving Newgrounds soon, so give a tip when you will be back, aigtht? Just so the word could be spread.

Be sure of that man ! i like to keep peoples on the track sooo yeah EVERYONE WILL KNOW !!! >:)

And for sure life is fuckin brutal sometimes.. it hit really hard :/

THANKS YOU FOR YOUR MESSAGE !!!!!

i have to admit you've been a great inspiration to me ever since i saw 5v5,, i didn't knwo u also started madness from the kenami video lol but the mentality u have about madness and everything else is something i understand so well n i never thought someone else would put it into words,, guess 2 years of making something this big and cool really makes u think about what ure doing. i agree so much with the "madness is one of the few things i know how to do", literally i keep coming back to it because its the only ting i do somewhat decent (tho im still kinda shit). God bless you bro, i hope releasing this brings you bros great fullfilment, you and cn did a great job

Its really honore me that i inspired you at time (5v5 is getting old now !!!) and yeah keep in mind your never alone about your tought !!!

thanks you a lot for you message man

@vtyz Does Your Leg Still Look Scary ? L:

I share a lot of your feelings in regards to our priorities having to shift as we assume more responsibility in our lives, progress on my own film has slowed due to working a full-time job and taking care of my new home - The amount of effort you've put into Bridge is seriously monumental and you've made your mark in the community with distinction ! Be proud of what you've managed to accomplish - as many never manged to finish a solo project and instead fall into the pits of obscurity and are forgotten. I wish you the best of luck with your studies, and may the road you travel be pleasant.

Jsoull himself !

I have always been fascinated by your way of working. In my eyes, you are what we call a 'technician,' and honestly, it's incredible how you manage to make the software fit together so seamlessly.

Having tried it myself, I found it extremely difficult, so I have even more respect for you.

Thank you so much for your message, and I can't wait to see your project released!!!!!!

you may not remember me, but I was once a pretty big pain in your ass, especially with the idea of ​​you helping me learn to animate just like you.i remember getting you on discord, writing to you, asking for sprites, etc, anyway sorry for bothering you at the time. seeing what level you're at now and your worldview really brings me peace of mind, that you're okay and still animating. after watching this project, I stopped it many times, saying "holy shit" in my head. i really hope these few years haven't been so hard for you and you've overcome all the difficulties you've had on your way. i hope you'll continue to move towards your goals and dreams. i wish you not only luck, but also endurance in the future, for what you have planned in life will work out for you.

youve created a wonderful masterpiece! will we see more from you next year?
