Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[OTB - Spooky]

Impeccable detail as always, and what a grand adventure! XD Wonder what happened to those ghosts after their ship went up in shards hmm... nice one.

-cd-

RadioTubeClock responds:

Probably floated around looking for more ships to haunt. Thanks for the review!

[Madness: Zombifacation PREVIEW]

So far it's looking good! Movements do feel a bit choppy (increase FPS maybe?), and the music loops over and over if you let it keep play... but looking forward to the full thing!

-cd-

Sherklov responds:

Thanks, and I'm still working on the complete one. The final version won't have the music loop over itself.

[rAge of Mythology II]

Afgh, so good but... so short! The five months of work thing somehow led me to believe it'd be incredibly long compared to previous work, but well... it was awesome! And the after-credit extra an entertaining finale. Also, found that secret! Huzzahhh! Even zoomed in to read that hint, but it seems like a moderate dosage of introductory tabbing for hidden buttons was all it required. ;) These are those great things that can only be achieved with Flash! YES! And so many other extras here apart from the secret too (though some buttons could use some larger hit areas).

One little bug btw: on the second secrets screen, pressing left just restarts the music, it doesn't take you back... you have to actually click the button! And lol, even more extras for right click enthusiasts. :P

As for the animation itself: it's an epic journey, brimming with almost (well, kinda reminds me of) Brackenwood-level-detail sceneries, slick animation and colossal rounds of random very laid back leisurely comedy. All good; I am looking forward to whatever's up next! Age of Mythology III...?

-cd-

WooleyWorld responds:

"So short" YA KILLIN ME, CYBER.
Yeah the buttons I noticed before I posted... but... At that point I just wanted it posted.
Yes there was an odd bug that appeared on those screens. The music just kept playing and there was no sign of it in the timeline so I had no idea where it was coming from. It just kept existing so I just put buttons on it that would quiet it and it still played over one of the frames. Such a headache but I could not fix it. Oh well. My apologies.
I knew people would try to right click their way around. Fucking onto you NGers. :p

Glad you liked the humour though. I tried.
This next one is going for gold, for sure.
Thank you for the review.

[Mario's Sad Day]

Hmm kinda dark ending there! I like the idea, but if you're going for comedy I'm sure there could've been more comical ways to end this! People no longer recognizing him. People saying stuff about his missing mustache. Something... fun. Instead, he crawls to a door, goes to the office, and visits a shop...? Am I missing something there? Unless this is meant to be abstract, there's plenty o potential there to add some meaningful scenes init. Keep it going!

-cd-

AdamKrug responds:

lol yeah, it was a pretty abstract film open for interpretation; I made the scenes of him walking to the door, in and office, at a store, and at home just to show and express sadness towards the end by showing short scenes of Mario's day.

And thanks for the tips! I'll make sure to take them into consideration for my next project!

[Mario's Adventure!]

Hah, a creative little papermation thing! Nice. I like the paperbased transitions, and the backgrounds with stark color. Music fits in perfectly too, though considering how intent Nintendo have been in the past on taking down anything that might infringe on their copyright, it might be wise to search up some unofficial cover/tribute Nintendo music for work like this! Well, enjoyable short it was. Keep it going!

-cd-

AdamKrug responds:

Thanks for the heads up!

I'll be sure to use unofficial music on my next papermation coming out soon

[Cr1TiKaL Animated: Classroom Aquatic]

So... random! And yet it seems there's supposed to be a red line here. I'm not sure I see it. Is there a message here? Satire on the educational system of today? The irrelevance of topics of study? A sketch fetched from real educational experiences? Parody with references which I do nae know? It was entertaining in an abstract sort of way, but not directly comical... if it was meant to be... and not very sensical... if it was supposed to.

Ah, and after I've written all this, I realize I missed that most critikal part of the intro, the one that mentions it's all based on a game! Haven't played the game so... the references don't tell me much. If I had I suppose the insight might be a prerequisite for entertainment, but as it stands I'm lost. The dialog intrigues, entertains a little, but overall I feel it all ties too closely to knowledge I do not have for the 'script' to stand on its own. I do assume it's a script, right? Not animated gameplay footage with narration?? In which case... it'd be weird, but make more sense. Anyhow, going to check out some of your other stuff with characters I know and see how that fares. This... was interesting! Real shame about that lost project btw. Keep it going!

-cd-

AdamKrug responds:

Thanks for your condolences towards the lost project XD

And thanks for the tips! I still have a long way to go when it comes to my story and script skills

[Do We Got Beef?]

lmao, much less brutal ending than I was expecting. XD Genius sketch; an entertaining ending skit to top it off!

-cd-

JunkYardAnimations responds:

I appreciate it boss!! Much love from the Junkyard :D

[Shapes - Episode 17 - The Nerf Guns]

Now this is getting a biiiit too disturbing to be fun IMO. O_o Reminds me of that stabbing session in the first Scream movie, where the bad guys are trying to get away with murder by making it look like they get stabbed themselves, but take it one step too far... feels like: this is one step too far. I'm thinking with harm on a more superficial level (blunt objects that seriously injure but don't cause massive bloodshed and death), or without dialog; more 'intent to kill' it'd work better. Good buddies brutally killing each other maybe-not-intentionally-but-with-known-probability is just eh... not my cup of comedy.

-cd-

sadakab responds:

Sorry you feel that way my friend!

[Social Anxiety]

Haha man, such a flawless rendition of the modern world! Every time I'm on the subjway this is the life I see. :/ Albeit without that awesomely eerie yellow glow radiating from all those screens... good to see you're still making creative stuff; life's getting better! Congrats on the job!

-cd-

MisterHerbal responds:

Thanks cd! Always a pleasure to read your feedback. The eerie yellow glow signifies the hypnotic states when one zones out in his smartphone. It's only visible in my cartoons :P
