DARE

"I'm moved."

submission: DARE
date: August 14, 2009

Holy shit dude, I'm away for a week and you come with this! It's pure genious, from beginning to end. I've never seen the original, but pff.. Shivers man. These past years you've been making so many games, it's been a while since I've seen a flash by you and this was way above my expectations. I mean yeah, your flash skills are awesome but I never expected anything THIS good.

In my opinion this is the second most moving video I've ever crossed here on Newgrounds. It's THAT good. I just love how the emotions speak to you in this video. Even the part when he turns to God, which is usually considered to be quite cheesy, was brought in an amazing way, powerful. Almost as if God's intentions become all so clear in this video. I could write a lot more good things about this video, but it'll never be as good as watching it.

I can tell you will be one to have moved many people ;)

HUMPTY...

"This was great."

submission: HUMPTY...
date: June 2, 2009

You've got an awesome style; sketchy, yet not overdone. Together with your partial-surrealistic style this flash emits a creepiness that I love. Nice use of colors, great work on the shading. I kind of like the plot, though it's pretty depressing, Heh. Great little short, this should have gotten more attention in my opinion!

I Can Break These Cuffs!

"I don't see no cuffs"

date: April 18, 2009

Very short but I enjoyed this. The characters were simple but pretty neat. Seemingly you will need to spend more time on the backgrounds though. And instead of repeating the same scenes a few times, you could have added new stuff. Like a scene where we actually get to see this guy's hands in cuffs.

CTSGAE- Blended Awesomeness

"Wow it's finally finished! =D"

date: July 9, 2009

This version of the CTSG obviously had great planning involved, all of the artists worked together so well! There's on thing that's been bothering me a little. From 0:00 to 2:57 it was all kind of stuck in just one genre. I always thought diversity was an essential need in the CTSG project, so yeah. Still FUCKING AWESOME guys =D

The intro is great, not so sure about EchozAurora's part though. In my opinion it was a little too energetic and the transition wasn't all that great either. But hey, the song does build up kind of slow so a little bit of movement wouldn't be out of place. And it still is the CTSG afteral, might seem a lot more fitting along with the animation. Besides, jrhager did a splendid job following up on Echoz's part.
Nav's part drops dead, followed up by some great chords which remain in SBB's and Soluslunes' parts. I guess it takes away the diversity a little, but I still like it a lot!
Unexpected but awesome is Sorohanro's part, who in my opinion saved this collaboration and the CTSG's name at the same time, simply by keeping it diverse.
Is the song finished now?
No wait...!
Lashmush suddenly drops in. It sounds awesome, yet... How unexpected... What a horrible transition... :/
Not really! If this were just a regular song, yes! I would agree. But this is the CTSG Animation Edition, harhar! This song will be great as an unexpected, powerful ending. And when done right, it'll be seriously epic!

Guys, you're my heroes.

Speaking of which- YOU WILL ANIMATE A PART, YES?

I'm going to try and whore this out to the flash forum shortly. And Lashmush's ending is pure awesome. :D

Lighthouse Song

"I hope this helps (:"

submission: Lighthouse Song
date: May 10, 2009

The intro is spectacular! The buildup is great and I loved the effect you have used there. It's grand! Maybe the intro took an itty bit too long, but it was good. And it was atleast a little disapointing that ther part following up on it wasn't very powerfull.

I think you should have sped up the bassline right when the intro ends. This song could have used a little variation in the chords aswel, it gets a little dull after 8 minutes. The kick wasn't powerful enough in overall and I can barely hear the snare. If I may do a suggestion, I'd try to find something to replace your Fruityloops drumsamples to create more of your own sound. The strings sound a little sharp and loud. Maybe you should lower the cut a little and keep them more in the background, perhaps add a chorus to it and turn up the release a little. But don't take my word for it. The ending to this song is just splended. Great job!

Other than that I don't think there's much to tell you. Synplant was a great buy and I think you'll be making a lot more awesome music with it ;)
I hope this was atleast a little helpful :3

Thanks Whirlguy. You know the dealio with my album, and I'd probably do a lot of chopping and changing to my songs, in which case, a lot of these criticisms will be very handy. At the least, you've pointed out some parts that could use some brushing up. Thanks a lot, man, what a well crafted and attractive review you have written here. <3

(_RGH_) Wisped Away (F777)

"Very calming"

date: April 14, 2009

This song makes me think of a tropical, rather bewildered environment, close to the sea and at late sunset. The sky is dark purple and the sun red. A small beach is nearly visable through the dark contours of the voliage. It fits perfectly with this song in my opinion.

I love how calming this song is, it makes you feel so relaxed and comfortable. The tropical feel to this song is very refreshing and even though there are some leads in there, they just blend away in the atmosphere. The pads and percursion were especially nice to my ears, though there wasn't really anything I disliked. This song is trully unique. Nice one!

Splendid.

The build is not really complete cuz my computer is too slow to play it through Reason(it gets too epic)

I might put this one through a professional studio's mixer eventually.

We've all got our dreams...
