Real nice stuff, zattdott did some great work here. If he directed and animated it, I'd consider adding him as a co-author 👍

I like a good narrative animation, lovely concept. Good track too!

needlejuicerecords responds:

Thank you! We did add him as a credit, he just has to accept it. :)

When we asked him to do the video, all we had was the idea of the android landing and doing experiments until it's machinery failed. He came up with the entire concept of the alien civilization and the archeological adventure. Dude is absolutely amazing.

Haha, wonderful!

Thanks for using our music 😆

MayaMalice responds:

No problem dudes!! Your song is super rad!!!

thank YOU for letting me use it!!! i think it seriously makes the whole short lol
thank you!!!! <3

Ah, I forget about this one

I checked this animation a long while ago, very nice - simple yet effective. Drawing have a nice charm too them too.

TheBoogley responds:

I'm hopefully going to make a new one of these for next month! :D

Very nice

The one qualm I'd have is that I feel that the over all quality of the drawings could be improved.

Except for that, well done. I salute you sir for actually making a 'proper' pixel animation. So goddamn many people make 'pixel animations' that use tweens, or odly sized pixels, or anything else that doesn't fit into the grid the way it should. I absolutely applaud your dedication to process.

I look forward to seeing other exapmples of your work,

Hildebrandt responds:

Thanks, I know that everything could be done with more detail, but you know, if I start putting shades on one object, I need to continue that through the whole film and, well... I don't have that much time, unfortunately :D
Please, take a look at my other submissions.

Damn you!

Why do you have to make such a good collab about Valentines Day?! I was determined to hate this animation, but I can't!

Where's more of Vinnie's stuff? He haven't posted in a while...

Zwickel responds:

Vinnie is a secretive gentleman.

Very nice indeed

I particularly liked the angler fish type monster with the female torso hanging where the light would go.The monsters and the way you describe them reminds me of the Silent Hill series, which I'm guessing you must have seen or played. The idea of being adrift worked very well, too.

I think maybe a lot of the monsters were a bit too much on the unrealistic side of the uncanny valley though. It would be interesting to see what happened if you made the disturbing nature of the images more subtle (Things like subtle changes in the face, or very defined, well proportioned human limbs that merge together to make a faceless monster). Especially if you focused on the way they move and animating it. It seems to me that the way a creature looks is just the start of it. The way it moves and sounds is what makes it truly affecting. Also it might be worth investigating the way you compose your shots. Building up tension and only revealing details can make the observer far more jumpy.

I like what you're doing though, I'd love to see more.

Scythemantis responds:

One thing that does creepy me out a bit is very jerky or sped-up looking movement. I did this all in one night and didn't expect it to ev en be noticed - next time I do something like this i'll probably put a lot more time and work into it :)

Thanks!

The last weapon he had looked like a dildo :D

Very nicely animated, would be interesting to see some more plot oriented work from you

d-z responds:

Thanks tonedeafmessiah

I'm trying to be fair

As I understand a lot of work must have gone into this film, but newgrounds is for animations, and more specifically flash animations. This, I believe stops your film from qualifying as acceptable newgrounds content.

I didn't finish watching, partly due to the fact that it's not meant to be on this site, and partially because the rhyme/music that starts a short way into is really quite annoying. I'm sure that your film is actually quite good, but I'd suggest changing/improving the quality of the soundtrack, in my personal opinion.

I hope I haven't offended you

ArneTheTurtle responds:

Hello. Not offended at all. We're well aware of what form of media Newgrounds is intended for. We, however, felt it was a great way to show our fans what other things we have been up to.

I was slightly annoyed that you didn't finish watching just because it wasn't a flash. And paying homage to our hard work was friendly of you, however closed minded you have been. Nonetheless, to each his own. I respect your honesty and encourage you to give it another shot. We're hard working artists. Not uneducated fools.

Very good

Very nice to see original work, however, I still feel the format could be played around with more, and maybe be extended beyond isolated character illustrations.

Also I like the contrast between the devilish cloven hooves and the 'have a nice day' smiley - disturbing.
