Reviews for "Paradigm: episode 1"

Has potential

...but I got to admit I was kind of expecting something a little more serious. Either way, you've managed to create a decent sprite movie. Story-wise, this first episode is engaging but it doesn't really hint to what is an interesting premise.

nice

It'sn cool but it lack of plot.

metlwing responds:

indeed. Episode 2 will fix that. Look forward to it!

Lacking key plot elements.

It almost made sense.

metlwing responds:

true, those will appear soon! in episode 2! don't worry! thanks for the criticsm

Nice!

That WAS a very good Flash! One, if not the, most polished sprite movie I've ever seen! Good work! Bring on episode two!

metlwing responds:

wow! thanks! although I think mine's far from the best! actually, go see super mario bros Z by alvin-Earthworm, that one is AMAZING! But thank you! that lifts my spirits.

Could be better...

Overall I was a little underwhelmed by this Flash, I was expecting good things after reading the blurb.
Concept was very good...in the blurb. Unfortunately absolutely none of that came through in your storytelling during the movie itself. The closest thing there was to a plot outline was the random collection of characters in the same place, but without any reason given, it just made things seem all over the place. Script was...well, it didn't have a whole lot to do with anything. You'll have to improve your storytelling for future episodes, you can't rely on the blurb to do all the talking.
Art and animation is a tough one to decide about. I'm a sprite agnostic, but you clearly did plenty of work with what you had available.... Full marks for effort, but it was a little uncomfortable on the eye at times.
Sound was fine, no problems there. Music was well chosen, and no real technical issues with the audio.

All in all - you've got a good idea, start doing it justice.

metlwing responds:

thank you very much fo your constructive critism. Of course, currently, none of the characters know that they are just cyberspace, and the core will explain that to them in episode 3 or 4, but truely, I did lack some of the storytelling. Please also watch episode 2 if you want, I promise It'll be an improvement!!!
