Interesting.
But it needs a bit of work. The sound quality wasn't all that grand, and the graphics could stand to be polished up a bit. I really liked the story, though, and I'm looking forward to seeing more.
Reviews for "Hotel Abyss"
lmao
This was actually really cool. The signs were funny and i thought the whole creepiness added a great effect. It was quite creepy and i could sort of see myself working in a weird hotel like that one lol.
mildly funny
I liked the silhouette animation at the start. Unfortunately, that was just about the last animation in the piece that I liked. After that, the characters just slide around, which wouldn't have been so bad if you hadn't set our expectations higher in the first few seconds.
The guest looks so different between the exterior and lobby shots that I wasn't sure it was supposed to be the same person.
Why do several of your characters look like their necks are rotated ninety degrees so that they point straight forward out of their chests? The guest in the exterior shot looks like this, and then later one of the hotel employees does too.
You've got stray pixels on some of your pieces so that, for example, when the manager hands over the key small glitches appear on the wall behind him.
Going up the stairs it looks more like he's riding an escalator.
The 3d effect in the hallway scene (where it looks like the camera is panning down from the ceiling to maybe just above head level) is done well enough to seem out of place with the crudeness of the rest of the art; you might want to cut that.
Finally, it's an awfully big setup for a pretty small joke. I think that was the point, but... meh. It doesn't quite come off.
Pigmash responds:
Thanks for the constructive critisism.
Glad you liked the silhouette, but I dont like animating legs. I did make his arms move when he first entered the hotel which made it less of a slide.
Not sure what you mean about the 90 neck thing though.
Yes, it looks like he's taking an escalator instead. Unfortunatly i found this mildly amusing so i kept it.
Sorry if you thought it was a build up to that joke at the end, I just needed to end it somehow. Maybe there will be a sequel (And maybe it will include legs)
...
It looks like it might be going somewhere interesting, but nothing too impressive yet.
It's not ok..!!
Please, don't continue!! ItΒ΄s not funny, the graphs are horrible, the sound is bad, it doesn't have violence and the style is :S!
Pigmash responds:
1) Wasnt trying to be funny
2 & 3) You may not like graphics or sound, but I can find no submissions from you, so Im going with the assumption you can do no better yourself.
4) Does every toon have to have violence?
5) Quoting MCR in your review title? Im not a fan, but thats not important.
