"Which collection do you have in mind?"

submission: weird lil cartoon

date: July 21, 2008

As usual, it has the Octo small and neat style. Well done on the awards. Look forward to 2nd episode. If you want the DS to review it before submission here, put it in the alphas or devientArt and PM me.
Best Wishes,
Ice

"Neat and smooth"

submission: Tetris-Sticks

date: July 21, 2008

Nice piece of work. Smooth action and good looking. good music.
No replay button tho!?!??

The music goes on with nothing happening on the screen which is not ideal. Even if it was just an animation loop it would be better.

I am a Tetris fan and the DS have a Tetris animation which maybe we will finish one day.

Score: 8

"Very Good"

submission: Intruder Returns

date: July 18, 2008

All looks and sounds very good. Great art, good animation.

Guy creeping up is too loud- he would be heard!

I prefer films with stories to submissions with nothing but action, it leaves me feeling that I don't care what happens.

Score: 8

"I liked it"

submission: Doctor A. Tom

date: July 14, 2008

The format was fun and so was the game. I gave up at level 14. I could not see myself ever getting past both the red and the green filter in just three shots!

Nice concept, action, sound, everything

Score: 8

"Very good"

submission: Project Eden

date: July 14, 2008

Good story, very good art, not very much animation fairly short.

Score: 8

"Of course its very good."

submission: The Lost Gift episode II

date: July 13, 2008

The art, the style, the story, the music, the angles etc are EXCELLANT.
However, the animation is limited and not very attractive. It isn't faulty, it just doesn't match up to the quality of the rest of it, with too much avoiding the difficult bits.

You should definately ask Tom Fulp for the facility to upload a larger file to give us the best you can offer. You need the voice acting. I am willing to voice act for you- I could narate it for you if you wish.

It seems that a number of people watched the second without seeing the first first. You MUST encourage them more, by putting a big button at the beginning of 2 taking them straight to 1 first and by writing your invitation in stronger language.

There are a few spelling errors which seem out of place in such professional work. PM me and I will hunt them down.

This series has GREAT potential, which is not being fully realised. If there is any way I can help you, please do ask.

"Yeah, its good"

submission: When I'm Running

date: July 8, 2008

Its all there and its OK. Making better animation of walking and running is the next key stage you need to do. Take a look back at the wolf and you will see what I mean.
Sorry, I only just spotted that Jimi and Hendrix are both spelt wrong. Never mind, its good, and part of a good, entertaining portfolio. I will get the DS to take a look.
Best Wishes,

"Nice and smooth"

submission: Stop & Stare...

date: June 27, 2008

Nice style, content, message. Hope Carly is OK now.

Score: 5

"not bad"

submission: Line Rider

date: March 11, 2008

it works and its mildly funny. The sound is quite good, well timed etc.

This kind of keeps dying parody is very familiar here on NG, but thats OK, people like it. The moments of 3D angle give you the fifth star.

Lots of things you can do to improve it:
more colour
more length
link to info about the game.
go into NG tutorials collection and learn buttons, they are easy.
Go into my Art tutorial if you want some ideas on how to step up a little in art, including buttons and backgrounds.

Score: 3

"Not too bad, but..."

submission: Where Are The Stars? v2

date: February 20, 2008

pretty crude and basic. It needs sound badly. Very little gets through judgement here without any sound at all. just a simple loop of music would be passable.
a bit of real animation, as opposed to having a few characters shift about, would help.
