Great Work
This is something I would definitely love to see a season made for. I watched all three episodes and they were absolutely amazing. Keep up the good work and I hope to see your next flash animation coming soon. By the way, can somebody teach me how to do flash? I have a good idea.
Excellent Work!!
One of the Visually Best I've seen on Newgrounds. The previous reviewer is whacked on a few points, however.
1. Yes, you possibly could have used better sounds, However the ones you do have are Excellent.
2. Focusing on the story is never a bad thing, and Shields and Bigger Guns only fit if there are supposed to be bigger guns availiable for the spaceraft's Technology and Design
3. Bah what do you know, can never please everyone, nebula is fine, better then empty space.
4. You can have fire in space, it just burns quickly and is fueled by the oxygen in the lifesupprt systems, and other reactants in the fuel systems. Explosions in space do have a uniqe shape, however they are sphereical in shape without exception, no gravity to distort the expansion patterns
5. the fire effects may want refinement, but it is still a lot better then 90% of the attempts out there
KEEP IT UP i'LL BE LOOKING FOR THE NEXT ONE :D
Thanks for saving my time to respond to that other reviewer. What you said about explosions in space is interesting, i never thought of it like that before. I guess the cheap gradient explosions in CI1 are even more accurate than these ones :)
Big guns!
Love the firepower. Good to see those little ships get their arses kicked.
Rawks my Sawks
I can't say good enough things about this... 3D models? WTF.. That's awesome, dude. Anyway, here are my constructive criticisms...
1. You could've put in better sounds - it would be more action-packed
2. You focused too much on the story - put in more weapons and a bigger arsenal... I mean, where are the shields?
3. The background nebula is not pleasing to the eye...
4. Just a tad of science - you can't really have fire going on in space.. there's no air in space, too... However, this is just a suggestion. I dont know about explosions though... I heard they have a unique shape in space...
5. You could've put more work into the fire effects...
If you put this together all, it would be even better!
Great job!!
AMAZING!
This looked just like an in-game cinematic from something like Homeworld or Freelancer. I loved all the POV cams. And the music was good to!! Really, the only thing I have a problem with is the pilots' voices... First of all, near the beginning the guy says "Evade Baldy!" before there's even any danger of Baldy being hit. How did he know the bullet was coming for him? Maybe if he didn't say that until Baldy started getting shot up. Also, many people have a problem with making their scripts too dramatic. Like, at the end, the pilot says "Our small chance of victory wasn't even there" or something like that. That is waaaay too flowery of a phrase to come up with in the heat of battle! I think it would be much better if it went something like "Another battlecruiser?!?! They must have called for help before entering the nebula! Retreat, there's no way we can take on both of them!" or something else more realistic. :)
Anyway, very very cool.
Baldy was the only pilot not flying evasive manouvres (you see him flying in a straight line). The squad leader didnt know he was going to die, he just yelled at him for not evading. He got killed first because he was the biggest noob in the squad. Oh and what the pilot said at the end wasnt in the heat of battle, they were already retreating. I think the phrase sounds better than something half assed that is made up on the spot in the confusion of battle. Thanks for your thoughts
