Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

On behalf of me and Andy, I'm finally able to add some worthwhile news here. We will be posting 7 episodes over on our site and here on Newgrounds, one a day for the next week.

This is also a special occasion as the 10th episode will mark the END OF THE FIRST SERIES OF EDIBLE CASTLE! And POSSIBLY the END OF THE SERIES, FULL STOP! CAPITAL LETTERS!

the 10th episode is ultra special and will contain animated gold from the likes of:

The Swain (Blockhead)

Mike Parker (College University)

Chase Suddarth (Tomorrow's Nobodies)

Ego Raptor (Awesome series)

Lazy Muffin (Nameless)

Dim (of Super Flash Bros)

Tom Fulp (of Newgrounds)

So it should get well received!!

- Will

Ps. here's a sneaky screenshot from the 10th episode...

Looking forward to it. Can we expect more Cuboy as well?

Aug. 5, 2008 | 9:25 AM EdibleCastle responds:

yep after this run of episodes are submitted. Cuboy will hopefully get his ass in gear

Aug. 4, 2008 | 8:30 PM JonBro says:

Tom Fulp is going to animate part of Edible Castle 10?

This will be interesting =D

Well that sounds pretty cool, I just hope your awesome British humour isn't lost among the cock jokes aplenty. But it should be pretty awesome, loved ep4 btw. Will Arbuckle ftw!

Aug. 5, 2008 | 11:48 AM EdibleCastle responds:

Aug. 5, 2008 | 9:00 AM Sidorio says:

Why the last one?

Aug. 5, 2008 | 11:48 AM EdibleCastle responds:

wanna concentrate our efforts on Cuboy

Aug. 5, 2008 | 3:05 PM zrb says:

Why the change of art style in the 10th episode ?

Aug. 7, 2008 | 10:23 AM EdibleCastle responds:

The 10th episode is a special collab episode where the above artists were given free range to adapt the Edible Castle world to their own art styles.

"wanna concentrate our efforts on Cuboy"

You have no idea how glad I am to hear that!!
It is one of my favorite Newgrounds series! God I can't wait to see episode 3!!

Aug. 5, 2008 | 9:58 PM sbizznaz says:

dont you think your bringing these out a bit too quick, i mean your not giving people much notification and im guessing a lot of fans will miss out, i just want your animation to get as much views as possible, ya dig?

Aug. 7, 2008 | 10:25 AM EdibleCastle responds:

no harm in experimenting. they're only little shorty shorts afterall.

Aug. 5, 2008 | 11:41 PM Bubble-Wrap-Attack says:

you guys rock, 10th has egoraptor and fulp? !!! thats epic

Aug. 6, 2008 | 11:26 AM JonBro says:

Whose part is in that screenshot? It looks kinda like the style of "Chase 'n' Pacman", but I'm not entirely sure.

Aug. 7, 2008 | 10:26 AM EdibleCastle responds:

That's a screenshot from the Swains

Aug. 6, 2008 | 11:46 AM vaifan90 says:

I can't believe that three of my favourite animators (Michael Swain, Arin Hanson and Yotam Perel) are part of it! AWESOME! :D

Aug. 7, 2008 | 10:27 AM EdibleCastle responds:

it's gonna be good for you then

Aug. 6, 2008 | 7:25 PM Nose-army says:

I bet its Swain's. Just watch his part in Pass My Flash 2. I'm sure excited for Cuboy. How many episodes of it do you think you will make?

Aug. 7, 2008 | 10:27 AM EdibleCastle responds:

as many as it takes

Aug. 7, 2008 | 1:26 AM squeakytoad says:

That appears to be Swain's part.

Wish I'd known of this. I would've gladly contributed an animated segment. Big fan of the series.

Aug. 7, 2008 | 10:42 AM EdibleCastle responds:

ah that's good to know. cheers man

Aug. 7, 2008 | 2:47 PM 8sidedcircle says:

Looking awesome... Pity about ending it after episode 10 though...

Aug. 7, 2008 | 3:38 PM vaifan90 says:

Congrats for now having your own series page! =)

With Cuboy's unique style, and 3D aspects (including the rotating box of scene change) is the entire thing still made in Flash?

If so, that is an amazing example of both incredible animation, and ridculous amounts of time spent on that movie!

But seriously, is that all FBFed out in Flash?

Aug. 8, 2008 | 11:33 AM EdibleCastle responds:

yeah it's all drawn frame by frame. Not really any 3D in it. The cube spinning is, I think, only about 10 frames on repeat.

Aug. 8, 2008 | 2:23 AM Goat-Man says:

Sorry. But, seperate question, seperate post. Organization purposes

If you were to make a 5 minute Edible Castle episode, how long would that take? Then, how long would it take to do a 5 minute Cuboy episode?
My guess is Cuboy is close to twice as long. Is that a fair estimate?

Aug. 8, 2008 | 11:44 AM EdibleCastle responds:

when we first started the Edible Castle shorts we set out to make them in as little time as possible. They were meant to give a little variety inbetween Cuboy productions. That's why I decided to go with eyeless characters and only 2 mouth states - open and close. It's also why in most episodes there's usually just the 1 setting/background.

Cuboy does take longer to animate. The lip syncing takes longer - there's eye movements to be done - and in general it's just way more involved. There's more scenery, theres more sound effects, and the scenes are thought out more thoroughly in regards to layout and visuals.

takes about 3-5 days to make a 2 min EC episode. takes about a month and a half to make an 8 minute cuboy episode. But you've got to take into considering that 90% of the EC graphics are waiting for me in my EC library before I even start an episode. that cuts down the time a lot.

Aug. 8, 2008 | 9:29 AM ShinyArmor says:

dude i just cant stand it, your awsome... i think you should do a second series, it would keep more people entertained... especially me

Aug. 8, 2008 | 12:38 PM Goat-Man says:

Shouldn't you edit the icon for the 2nd and 3rd episode to match the new Number + Flag color layout.
Maybe leave the first episode blank, so that it can still be used as the series page logo.
Also. Congrats on a series page :D

Aug. 8, 2008 | 1:11 PM EdibleCastle responds:

yeah i wish i could, dunno how though, is it even possible?

Aug. 8, 2008 | 2:38 PM koopaking1677 says:

dude you should put in TheWeebl's amination

Aug. 8, 2008 | 3:50 PM Lost-Wisdom says:

Amazingly well made. Great work! I await the next episode.

Aug. 8, 2008 | 9:50 PM benjadaninja says:

Did you pay them to animate stuff for you?

Aug. 9, 2008 | 2:08 AM LordOfKetchup says:

haha someone got their eye on king of the portal?

Aug. 10, 2008 | 1:22 PM slanted2 says:
