Niiiiice!
This is easily one of the best things I've seen on here in the past few days. The visuals are pleasing, the music is nice and atmospheric (gives that futuristic feel). The only thing I wasn't clear on what exactly was happening, though I have somewhat of an idea. Maybe a little dialogue (it doesn't need much, just a little--maybe at the end) would help.
It DOES start to get a bit choppy towards the end, but the storyline's set in cement now, and they can't talk. :/
Thanks for the awesome review.
I'm glad you liked it.
That was great.
Nice design on all your work. But I did enjoy chapter 1.0 on its own merits, also.
Keep it up!
Chapter 1.0 was necassary, and I'm glad it happened. It's gotten me a long way.
Forced Intergalactic Harmony
I enjoyed all that you have so far, with this one following--to a lesser degree--the original's arthouse feel, that I deem to be the greatest in the series. All the other sequels seemed to have lost the 'tactile' image of the main character. This is WRONG, and is integral to the appeal of this work, in my oppinion. Artwork aside, I'm not sure if this is a 'redux' of the original, and if it is..then the concept of destroying one's home planet, (which seemed dull to the inhabitant) in order to find love in another being seems lost; and is the main driving point behind your first episode's appeal, in my oppinion.
I love flashes on this site that aren't pop-culture related, or random comedy-driven... and so your series of flash are sights for these sore eyes. Oh, and if you continue use actual voice-acting, like the cliffhanger of Ch.3 suggests, then please try and do so without any cheesiness, as this precedent you've made (with your animations following, brilliantly with the soundtrack.) could be marred by anything less-than-spectacular.
Those are suggestions, and I know you will do what is best for the Planetoid. Take care.
I'll try and cut down the cheesiness, but it's necessary in the plot, so it's not going anywhere.
And in Chapter 5, it will be timed with the music, and should be worth it.
My original aim was to do a different style each chapter, because, for me, this started off as just practice.
Though that's starting to change as it's beginning to become more serious.
I'll take your advice and try and bring back the art-house feel.
I'm glad you liked how it's all timed with the music.
It takes me forever to find/choose a song for a chapter.
Thanks for the great review.
Love the look!
Some moments looked awesome, I think if you use this look and add more FBF/story you'll be in the big leagues!
Well, Chapter 3 has more fbf and some more story.
Chapter 2, not so much :P
I hope you checked them out D:
Hmmm... I don't know what I watched...
~ Animation/Graphics ~
The animation was pretty smooth and the graphics were pretty good with your own unique style. There was really only one part that wasn't so great. When the space ship started to launch off of the planet the quality of the drawing went way down and the animation was kind of choppy. That was really the only fault that I had with it.
~ Story/Content ~
You had a lot of nice graphics and good content, but I couldn't tell what was going on at all. I could tell that the alien guy there was lonely and felt really sad, but I really had no clue what was going on other than that. It almost makes me interested enough to come back and review the other submissions in the series to see where it's going, but it could use some explanation for sure.
~ Audio ~
You had a good use of audio and a good use of sound effects in this submission. Nothing really else to comment about the audio other than you did a good job with it.
~ Overall ~
It was interesting to watch, but I was left with the impression that I had no clue what was going on.
Haha, well, you weren't far off the money.
Chapter one was pretty much improvised, but from then on, I had direction.
Don't even mention the scene with the rocket taking off :P
It makes me squirm seeing it, and I regret it a lot.
I'm glad you liked the graphics, though, as I put a lot of time into improving them.
Thanks for the great review.
