Satyre's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Greener Grass]

Outstanding animation, music and nice story. I missed some voice acting, but maybe you'll make a full film one day with a sequel of this story and add it then. Otherwise the facial expression and the gesture tell us exactly what the protagonist are feeling, nice work :)

I was thinking about adding voices while I was during the animatic stage of the project, (not as far as actual sentences, just sounds etc) but I recieved feedback during one of my presentations at uni that it worked nice without VA. Any future projects I'll do will probably have voices though, it'd be nice to try animating some lipsync. :) Cheers for the review!

[Genesis (Game Trailer)]

Nice Trailer

I hope my comment will not be judged negative, that's not the intention.

The art was very good, on its own way.

There are some questions that came to my mind when i watched the trailer.
1. If he is infected and travels to the past, didn't he infect other people from the past too?
2. Why doesn't he know of the virus, if he holds a test-tube in his hand, is he a scientist?

The story is interesting, at first i thought it will be another zombie themed game, but then the time travel made it more interesting.

I just want to give a small hint. If you are planing to add time travel, where you can switch between timelines, then please make it very logical, otherwise people start to turn away from the game.
(Time Hollow is one example, at the end the time-travel device was passed from protagonist to the same protagonist and no origin of this device was mentioned , so i was a bit disappointed of this paradox.)

You should definitively add some more information or informative pictures (not too much for sure) to the trailer, cause it would match if you can see the "love" or some screens from the life of the protagonist before the accident with the virus takes place.

These are only my opinions.

Good luck with your project :)

No I wont take the comment as negative. I love feedback and I take it to heart most of the time.
1. The virus he carries is not contagious. Only in certain people will it be able to spread. The way the virus spread is actually a surprise.
2. He is the scientist that develops the serum. Its not meant to harm anyone or give him the power he gains. Its all really an accident. And everything involving his loved one will be explained as the player travels back in time during the game. And in various segments.
