Reviews for "ludas animans Ep. 6 Pt. 4"
Wow... very nice
That was a really good Flash movie, though I haven't seen the other episodes and stuff. When I was done watching, I almost forgot about the two things that bothered the Hell out of me.
1. Please put a preloader bar on this! It's such a large file, and all I had to keep me going was the "Loading" text.
2. The music went really good and everything, but you might want to consider compressing it a bit. I mean, 11 MB!? Are you mad!? This probably could have been 2-4 MB if you used .wav sound files. Using WinAmp and RC-MP3 Converter, you can change MP3's to .wav files, and the sound quality isn't changed much.
The loading process was brutal because of the large file size and no preloader bar, but the movie itself was excellent!

Glad you liked the movie. As for your constructive criticism...
1. If I knew how to make a proloader bar, I would put one in the proloader screen. Since I don't, that's about the best I can do currently.
2. In another review response, I listed why is was so big. The music files are all in wav format and are at 11025 bit rate. Since there's 105 wav files in this movie, I think I managed it pretty well with compression. Oh, and all the sound effects are in wav format, as well.
Very nice!
The music went really well and everything flowed really nicely. The only thing I didn't really dig were the text boxes or the "next" button. I do understand that it's a huge movie and that the next button is handy, it just doesn't really go with the color scheme.

What do mean about the buttons and the color scheme? Think you could explain it in a little more detail?
Great!!
I had never seen any of your previous flash work, but I can see you are extremely skilled. The graphics were the best I have ever seen for a sprite movie, especially during the battle scenes. The music was great, but it did get a little boring after al while with just the same thing looping over and over again. The only other complaint was how long it was, although I realise it was necessary for the story. It took too long to load and far too long to watch, maybe in future try and shorten it into two halves or something. However this is a small complaint for what is an incredible piece of work...
5/5

Glad you liked the movie. Yeah, I tried not to put long music in it because of how the big the file was when the animation was complete (around 5 megs without sounds implemented). So, the battle music was fitting since it was short, and it fit with who Dragoon and Shadow were. As far as splitting it in half, if I did that the premise of the entire episode would just lose it's meaning.
OoO-Wow!
This is one of the best sprite animations that I've ever seen!
This deserves to be in the frontpage!
the only bad thing about this is the size....
...11,566.3Kb, one of the heaviest I've ever seen

Yeah I realize about the size. The thing is because it is packed with about 1700 sprite images, 500 animated sprites, and 105 sounds. Hopefully, future episodes won't be as big.
