Reviews for "The Dark Descent"
music was great and the animations for the backgrounds were amazing
Amazing! I love it! The animation is well done and the artwork is great, but the dog and old man were lacking. Everything else was amazing the water, the clouds, everything. The sound effects and crap. MAN. Good job.
Beautiful. The music is amazing. The backgrounds are so good and so detailed. The water looks so realistic. The sound effects are also very realistic. The lighting and shadows are very well done. I must agree with Cyberdevil on the arms. They are a bit to thick in the front which also reminds me of Popeye. When the skull appeared you had gotten me so into this that I was seriously concerned for this old man's well being. Then the helicopters and the amazing sound effects made me worry so much for the man's life. That wide shot of the boat with all the people walking was so scary and I felt like I was having an anxiety attack thinking of what could happen to this man. The dog trying to get to his old friend was so beautiful and so sad. You've created the most beautiful piece of animation I've ever seen yet on Newgrounds. I applaud the both of you for creating such a masterpiece.

Thank you very ,much. Am very honoured that people feel such a relation to the film. The longer you work on something, you "can't see the wood from the trees" as the saying goes, and you end up just looking at this thing wondering what its all about. Its great to put it on the internet and read a response as your own, very resoundingly uplifting
Any who I'll copy and paste this from below as I think it may interest you. This is my justification behind the big arms :-)
Yeah, the forearms were defiantly an obscure homage to Popeye. Ha. The reason basically was I wanted to show that the man had lived a lifetime as a grafter, a labourer. He still had that built up strength, only now, with his age, he had become frail and shaky. I still wanted him to have the conviction of his youth, but with the truth of his present ability.
Cheers buddy!
Beautiful. Don't know what else to say about it, the animation didn't need speech to describe it; more to describe it would seem reduntant. All aspects are just perfects, though maybe the underarms are a bit too thick, they make me think of Popeye all the time which kinda ruins the atmosphere just a little. Otherwise, great work!

In other words I thought it looked funny. Ha.
Ta for the review buddy
