Communist in Space

"Best game ever!"

submission: Communist in Space
date: November 13, 2009

It's well animated and the concept is good. It's quirky and fun. Over before you know it, but really, that's just an excuse to make bigger and more complicated games.

The description is awesome, by the way.

<3 Lochie.

The Pretenders

"Haha, better than your average"

submission: The Pretenders
date: May 19, 2009

homemade film. It's not hollywood, but the camerawork and script was pretty well executed. Maybe some lighting issues here and there, I'm going to guess that the sound was the quality it was because of the overall film's quality being reduced a bit. I thought the ending was, for the most part, decent, but the dancing around felt a bit out of place. Great use of humour, I think you guys did a decent job. Well done!

Thanks for the review. We did a couple of shots of the ending, but it just seemed to be the only one that went with the movie. I really don't know what else would have fit there though.

Perhaps we should invest in some mics to make the sound better. That's the only thing that is really missing from our movies now.

A Bid For Freedom

"Great work"

submission: A Bid For Freedom
date: April 21, 2009

The illustrations were wonderful, the voicework was brilliant, and the story, impeccable. Congratulations on making a success out of your storybook collab. Only thing to note is that the text is a little hard to read. This would have been a much bigger problem if the voices weren't as clear as they were.

Author's Response:

I've seen your works in the Storybook Collab; you're very poetic and literate, so this kind of reception is truly wonderful. Thank you for checking this out and I'm thrilled you enjoyed it!

The text issue has been fixed; enjoy!

I very much look forward to seeing you deliver something for the Collab yourself; I hope to see you on here soon doing similiar business!

Cheers, and best of luck to you in your own ventures!

Chains of Ocean and Flame+*~.0

"Nice atmosphere"

date: August 4, 2009

One thing that's evident in this song is that the instruments have a nice, warm, spacial feel about them, particularly in the percussion. The instrumentation is wholesome, if somewhat straight forward in terms of textures and variation, but the theme's progression is really nice and mythical, and I quite enjoyed the development of the theme in the song. It was a slight disappointment for the song to just fade out at the end there, but otherwise it was quite lovely and peaceful to listen to.

Great stuff, chron!

Author's Response:

the song is more of an eternal progression as it originally was a storyline backing song - so not having it fade out didnt seem to make sense to me ;)

and trust me I had to redo this sogn about 3 times before I got this feel to it - lemme tell you - not making music for a long time really does make you rusty..

thanks for the review Writer'sblock - now go check out my other 2009 songs!

Microphone Test

"Diverse voices"

submission: Microphone Test
date: July 26, 2009

I thought you did a really good job. A lot of different and comical voices. Very practical and entertaining. 10/10, 5/5 <3

Author's Response:

Thanks :D I've been waiting to do one of these. I said I wouldn't do one with a shitty mic, so I decided to get a nice (or at least Ok one) :P

MWC May (Part 2 of 2)

"Another solid recording."

date: July 25, 2009

"Sheathed"- A bit of a challenge to get your tongue around. I mostly don't notice the pronunciations of most of the words I use in my writing, unless I decide to read it out loud. As far as I noticed, that was your biggest stumble out of the two parts, and I must say, that's quite impressive for a full 10 minute recitation.

Again, the first perspective female feels a little awkward, especially with the line "I think I'm pregnant". As Jade mentioned earlier, you bring out some good emotion towards the end, a nice, solid finish.

July 25, 2009

Author's Response:

I don't know why it gave me so much trouble, but I was determined not to get overly obsessive about it and just get the recording finished.
