Cyberdevil's Reviews

[Tifa missionary]

You convey the pleasure well! Smooth loop, a little short and similar all the way, but good... the face, the fingers, the details add to the scene... good stuff.

Sanmie3D responds:

Thank you for the feedback.

This was only a small side project and therefore I needed to cut it a little short.
But I'm planning on doing longer stuff in the future :)

[Pfp speedpaint]

That hair really took some time! Impressed with the patience on that part.

Solid PFP overall!

[Jill Valentine in her apartment]

Looking smooth! A little static action; not that much expression - a little more sense of pleasure would've been nice to percieve... but the models are great! Nice work.

[Windows 7 (1996)]

This is more like Windows 98 than Windows 7 isn't it, wrong title? ;)

Realistic representation of the OS though! And the sounds are there... fun; nostalgic little gadget.

[Peppa Pig Clicker]

Simple but fun! And no lag, which a lot of these clickers unfortunately have. :)

The fact that you can't actually click on 'Click Here!' is kinda strange though isn't it? Seems it should say 'Click on Peppa' or something such. Otherwise it's on point, the interface is clean, the ambient animation looks good, the character's smoothly drawn too...

Good stuff!

If you press in the 'Click Here' button, you can unlock a secret medal.

[Cottonball]

This was way more difficult than I thought it'd be! XD The long 'Game Over' transition (though very very cool and atmospheric too - is that your own voice?) takes a bit aggravatingly long time after the first few times you hear it, but otherwise this was pretty fun, smooth, responsive, well-animated... maybe you could add in a shortcut key for quicker restartin'? ;)

Would be cool with medals or a highscore table too, that way there'd be a meaning to actually trying again and again, as it is there's no real incentive to grind on further other than unverifiable braggin' rights in the reviews, with no way to win or otherwise reach an end in the game (I assume, at least). Either of those or both would add meaning to it all. If you need help adding medals or scores just lemme know, I do have some experience with that.

Fun stuff overall; fun to see you making something for this Jam too. :) Keep it up!

Nabella responds:

Alright, good news. The "Game Over" transition has been trimmed down from 12 seconds to 6 seconds, so now restarting should be quicker. The "Game Over" voice isn't my own, but a royalty free recording I found and edited to be deeper and have a more dramatic pause. Also, I've added mobile controls! So now you can play Cottonball while playing a YouTube video in windowed mode on your mobile device! Hooray!

Alright the scoreboard is working now.

I do have plans for more small Flash submissions, but whether or not they're finished on time is ultimately going to be up to me and how well I can apply myself.

[Dark Trance Prev]

The rhythm's on point, the build, synth or strings humming with a gradually increasing buzz as you near the big drop... the keys/chords that get added in around the 44 second mark though... feel a little out of sync with the underlying beat? Maybe they really aren't, maybe that particular instrument just gives that impression; there's some kind of sonic delay ingrained in it, but it really feels to me like they're slightly off beat with each hit - a bit too late. The other layers sync well, and you really do get into the grove after a while! Good energy.

I like the instrumentation around the 4:22 mark in particular, gets crazy in a good way and builds and builds and builds... and fades nicely... and builds again! And drops nicely. The transitions are great.

Maybe the intro could be a bit less gradual, or build more notably, it takes a while before you really get into it, and the slightly off sync keys distract me a bit, other than that this is good! Proper sound quality and bass too, though a little compact possibly, I'm no production pro so I wouldn't know the first thing to adjust, but a little more space and richness with the sound might take it to the next level. Maybe you could play a bit with panning on the transitions too? Seems that might work well with this kind of music.

The style reminds me a bit of some kind of mix between Prodigy and Aphex Twin... which is always a good thing.

Very solid start! If you didn't say so I wouldn't have known this was just a preview, it plays like a full-fledged track already. :)

[ChillyBite / 5 / A200]

Australia does seem pretty awesome! Home to some of the coolest dudes in the world. Hemsworth (the multiple), Crocodile Dundee, Dom Tomato & co, certain creative Internet icons on the greatest slumbering social media and content community of all time... should've asked more about life there hmm, seems it can be a dangerous place to live too though. Ever had any deadly arachnids or smaller if not lethal maybe at least uncomfortable-to-encounter animals reside in your shoes? Memorably wild experiences with either local people or animalia? Maybe something for another episode...

Glad you got away from them substances anyhow, sounds like you've experienced quite a bit. And hell yeah re:NG. Competition pales in comparison. I'm confounded by how more people don't end up choosing this over other more soulless social media, but at the same time glad the rest of the Internet doesn't flock here en masse, I'm sure NG could manage more, but at some point of popularity you'd probably lose some of that so essential consumer/content creator connection that also makes this place so unique...

Great talk y'all, plenty of both controversial and creative points of conversation, critical and oftentimes (IMHO) very astute worldview rambles, and all honest answers @ChillyBite!

Nice work @Aalasteir too on keeping all flowing; active listening and hosting!

Didn't feel like a full two hours at all.

EDIT: I missed the spider comments apparently! My bad, attentiveness must've slipped somewhere... nice art here too btw @TheShokBlok!

Aalasteir responds:

I'm always happy to see you, @Cyberdevil. I fully agree! It's generous of Chilly to share his experiences and what it's like to live in Australia. He did speak of the spiders that you have to watch out for! It's great that people are choosing our community over all of those soulless social media platforms. We are on the right track!

Thank you so much, @Cyberdevil.

[Dipthong B]

This can't be an April Fools thing if it actually IS a real thing though!!! XD And it really ain't bad either... Dipthong B = Banger! Not bad at all, seriously...

[Relius Clover (8/36)]

Divine light falling in from above, looks like a powerful character...

The fingers seem a little oddly wonky maybe, otherwise this is great. Nice work.

[Can Shalltear even get pregnant?]

Can't be absolute sure if you don't give it a try though huh. :P

Saucy scene, nicely drawn!

PsamaH responds:

That's the plan!

[Commission]

Rangiku's hair looking longer than ever here hmm, do hope they give the Bleach anime a proper reboot some day too! Twas a good one. Beautiful work here.
