Another masterpiece. The music is perfect, the storyline is suitable and the animation is your best yet. A lot more fluid than previously (though you still have quite a bit of resizing) and the motion was a lot more realistic. The same relaxed pacing as your previous works and this really helps one get into the mood. Too many animations these days are a shot a second, but you know how to set the scene length to establish a mood and setting. Excellent work. Make more!
P.S Perhaps some colour would be nice? I know you've done it in previous animations and the black and white of this was a little dull.

Should put a preloader in there because having it automatically start is a little annoying. There should also be an end screen with a replay button so it doesn't repeat in a mind mashing loop for eternity!
Technical details aside though it was a nice animation. I don't really like it when people just grab a funny audio clip and animate something over the top but for what it is you've done it well. I like your art style a lot. The soft colours and thing lines give it a laid back appearance that fits perfectly with the tone of the audio clip. The animation was a little static and whilst the lip synching was decent the facial expressions could have been a little more varied. Sure they widened there eyes and closed them whilst laughing but a bit more motion would have been nice.
I liked the various animals you had playing the roles and that added another comedic element that stopped the joke getting too stale. As a whole despite not really liking the concept i thought it was decent, definitely a nice art style.

Robot Love episode 2 Robot Love episode 2

First things first, it's good that you have a preloader but the play button is a little osbscure. It apperas to be a small pebble? It's hit area is also a little wacky.
And after pressing that, why does the animation stop again on the title screen? This seems a little unnecessary, pressing play once should be enough to watch the whole movie. Again, the play button is literally the title and this is a little obscure too, there are no roll over effects and it's hit area is the same size as the actual text. It required skill to get the movie going again! Always make sure you have large hit boxes for all your buttons and atleast some roll over effect (no matter how subtle).
As for the actual content it was decent. You have a clean artstyle and the black white (whilst a bit bland) looked nice enough. The red hearts & kisses were a nice touch. I liked the background music, though you should have credited the author (even if it's you!).
The concept was a little strange, two robots floating on a cloud meet each other and fall in love? Well okay! But perhaps a little more explanation could make it more engaging. Why were they floating on clouds? What made them attracted to each other? Something at least that the viewer can relate to.

Oh and seeing as you like robots, you might like to know it's Roboy Day on July the 10th and if you submit a robot animation then you enter the side wide competition. Perhaps you'd like to spend the time and make a longer, more plot driven robot animation and release it then? Just a thought.

Keep it up!


DIRLON responds:

Well the thing was with the loader I really got messed with that thing so I thought what the hell who cares its all about the animation, and we are planning to do more of those things and next time it will be longer no worries.

Thank you!

This is the future!

I loved this game so much. I felt like a very powerful pokemon with abilities that i had never before dreamed of possessing. I wish i could jump though! I spent ages trying to jump and i couldn't do it. Is that an unlockable ability or something? Oh well it was still fun DESTROYING all those over stupid pokemon. I felt so superior and it was a real ego booster after being bullied all day at school. Thanks a bunch for making it and good luck with your future submissions.
P.S I agree with JeriahTheSwarm, a side scroller like this (WITH JUMPING) would be soooooo fun.

This is a joke right?

I'm not sure whether to laugh or to cry.

Groovy

Good work on this, i like the idea of laying it out like the BBS. The music was horrid but there was a mute button so that's ok. Thanks for making this!

Welcome.

I used the bbs awards music.

The Midnight Lullyby The Midnight Lullyby

Rated 4 / 5 stars 6 hours ago

Relaxing and sombre. Not tritely sentimental but suitably melancholy. I enjoyed it! The opening synth that sounds a bit like a wind instrument is nice and the slow tune it plays sets the tone well for the rest of the song. I like the percussion and the use of the static/white noise sounds. A sort of plodding rhythm that marched dutifully on. I thought the mixing was decent and liked the panning. It's a bit short, but as you say, also a work in progress. Good luck finishing it, i'm sure it'll be great!

Reminds a bit of "BlackbirdBlackbird"! Very tight sounding, everything is really crisp and clear and mixed nicely. The melodies are catchy and the drums had me tapping my fight. All round a very nice sounding piece. Only complaint is it's perhaps a little short, i was just getting into the mood of it when it ended! Also perhaps some vocal samples or something of the sort could give it a bit more interest. Nice work!

[Gen VI] Graveyard Jam [Gen VI] Graveyard Jam

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars 9 days ago

Oooh i like the piano. The staccato playing mixed with the echo creates an interesting sound. The melodies were pretty interesting and the various instruments and sounds that appeared throughout kept it interesting, the bell certainly gave it a graveyard feel. Overall quite a nice piece, though perhaps a bit repetitive for a loop.
Oh and you should have labelled this as a loop and not a song otherwise it won't replay automatically.

I don't know where the characters are from but the picture is great. I love the composition and the background, the way the character sort of leans on the frame and extends out of the coloured square gives him a real corporal feel as though i could just reach out and touch him. I don't know much about art so i don't have any advice to give but i just wanted to say good job!

spaghetti14_comic-jam-2-rain-pt-2_small CJ2 - I Fell For You - Pt. 2

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars Mar 4, 2012

That dialogue is atrocious! Come on, show don't tell. He really didn't need to say "I've always hated the rain due to my paralysis" when we've just seen him get paralysed in the rain and say "fuck off" to someone who said they liked the rain. Have a bit more faith in the subtleties of your story telling! I think the problem is you chose to large a story for such a short comic, and so the character blurts out unrealistically everything he's thinking so as to reach a conclusion in 1 panel. The story is quite nice, and i like your art style, but you need to think about pacing and dialogue.

Perfect

This is the kinda of art i really love. It's in a style i love, and both it's concept and content are things i thoroughly enjoy too. It's exactly the kind of thing i look for on the internet, and i was extremely pleased when i saw this. You've created a realistic, believable living space which is rarely done in pictures like this. Normally the environment look ssuperficial and sterile, but in this thanks to i don't know what (the colors? the stuff lying around? the oil in the bed? the composition?) it feels very tangible. The sort of space i would expect to see if ever did go back to a robots apartment. I'm not much of an artist so i can't give much criticism on the technical side, but i really like the shadow of the window pane and the way it curves over his body crating a 3d feel. All in all it's a really nice piece and I thank you for making it.


deadspread83 responds:

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I had to try really hard not to rush it so I could get all the little details in it, I'm glad somebody noticed :)
