Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Day in Psyche's Life - short animation]

The atmosphere here is definitely something else! It feels like an animation in style Of Myth, or similar. Very fantasy-themed and ambient - a tale of love and old times... not the type of content I'm accustomed to but I am looking forward to the next episode here! Really enjoying the flowing visuals, the smooth narrative and bright and airy world. Nice start.

Thank you :)

[Elevator To Heaven]

Was expecting the elevator might lead to instant death, but the literal ride up through the cosmos was an appreciatively unexpected turn there, though with the critical oxygen levels it's both ideas in one I guess? We never really do see how it all ends...

I like the style, sketchy as it is, and the mood it builds. Solid sound effects too. Nice short.

thanks fam, there was a lil more I wanted to do with this but I'm still learning how to use after effects

I have another one of these in the works (currently doing resource drawing between uni work) <3

[Therapy Dog - 13 - Couple's Therapy]

Maybe four episodes ago? The 'four weeks' reference isn't going to hold.

Good call moving on to voice though. I just realized this makes that too-fast-captions-to-read problem non-existent... and reading speeds do differ. As for the rest of it it's as entertaining as always, even if I'm missing an out-of-the-therapy-room bit in the story, and that ending was... pretty sad! Pretty drawn out sadness. Even if disappearing food was an entertaining touch.

Tomorrows-Nobody responds:

The "four weeks" bit worked better on youtube, where we put up a new episode every two weeks. We're currently on episode 21! Just uploading them to NG after some time passes. Thanks for enjoying it! Even the prolonged sad portion.

[Spider in the bathroom cartoon animation]

Being a spider's no easy thing. XD Good to see an animation from the spider-side of the spectrum for once, and not the constant fear thereof! Animation's not bad, and easy to understand, but the quality seems a bit compressed? Audio too. A little better quality and it'd be perfect!

-cd-

Zs-Animations responds:

Thank you very much:D

[Retro Convoy: Ivory Tower]

Another entertaining glimpse into the life of this interesting duo! It starts like a horror story but... never really gets that dark. Entertaining social media twists. Office cubicles. Communities. Online interactions... for an alien world it's a pretty relatable place.

Was hoping there'd be some kind of intro to these series btw, but seems like it either predates NG, or that there is no particular intro, but rather a backstory to give the characters context? Well that works too!

Looking forward to seeing what turn these two take next.

KelthorPower responds:

Thanks for the feedback! There actually isn't an origin story, but as we go along we'll get more backstory and character detail. I have some origins written out, but I've always had something of an aversion to the "origin story," but we'll see!

[Retro Convoy: Kevin Kilroy]

It's like a cyberpunk detective fiction story in a strange, alien world... what an imaginative; immersive realm. Interesting character too. You've got a unique style going for them as well.

The animation's smooth, and albeit not the most realistic it looks good, and goes well with the story and narrative. The apartment in particular has an eerie kind of alien ambience to it, and appreciate details in all the decor, and chaos. Usually there's not all this much stuff! Think I need to watch a few more of these episodes... great first impressions.

-cd-

KelthorPower responds:

Thanks for noticing the amount of "stuff" in the apartment, ha ha. Always trying to make the scenes feel alive.

[Trish (Chutney Glaze)]

The sun is fierce, and great, and its glasses are highly resistant not just to UV but to all kinds of rays! :D And he moves at an amazing pace, though as he leaves accidentally erases the planet's face. The speed at which he's paced it's like he's in a race, and I wonder where he's going with his limitless arrays of magnificence and grace, and rays in great a brace! Magnificent animation as always Chutney, and an entertaining spin-off on the typically-revolving-around-the-main-character story. Those ending credits too. XD

It's always a good day when there's sunshine.

ChutneyGlaze responds:

*sniff* so beautiful...

[Richter Belmont: ULTIMATE Moveset?! - Got A Minute?]

Though there seems to be more footage from games here than there is original work (and as such I'm not sure how suited it is for NG, what with potential fair use issues and all), it was an entertaining and fact-filled presentation too. Good info; presented in a good way too.

-cd-

SchmidtTimes responds:

My content definitely treads the line between what fits on the platform, but folks seem to be enjoying my videos enough for me to want to keep providing them here. I make a point of not putting on videos that are dramatically more gameplay-focused, though! Haha

[The Big Race. A cartoon animation.]

That old tale of the hare and the tortoise huh, with a surprise entry! XD Gosp is almost like Aspo hmm... not an intentional reference to the one fable originator though is it? Fun short, and a nice twist on the classic. Animation looks great, but I'm thinking a bit more sound would've been good.

-cd-

DarkGosp responds:

Thanks for the comment! Yes, perhaps with more sounds, the short would bemore alive, thanks for the advice. Gosp it's because my surname ^^
