CUTE! I don't even know how you pulled off that soft interior glow on them so it only affects the top of their lineart. Once again, the BG art is super cozy.

Hey, if you ever need a male voice-over, I'm down to collab! Hit me up! I'm a multi-voice talent, just lemme know, and I'd love to audition!

The framerate didn't take me out of it at all- as a stylistic choice, it fit with the environment and the animation style.

What did take me out of it was the muffled and echoey audio quality. At times it was difficult to understand what they were saying, especially when it was low-energy mumbling. The acoustics of your recording environment played against you in this one. It sounded claustrophobic, which was in stark contrast with the characters being outdoors, in the open, surrounded by swamp and Ogre house.

Obviously a better quality mic is over the horizon, eventual when money can justify the purchase. In the meantime, there's a lot of steps you can do to mitigate the audio quality issues.

If you have a walk-in closet, with both ends flanked with hung clothes, that acts as a budget-friendly sound booth for when you're recording lines. Lots of folks do it. In addition, to avoid reverb from the ceiling, they'll hang a thick blanket overhead (not touching the actor or microphone) to absorb further reverb. I've also seen people thumbtack egg-cartons to their walls, tiled out, as a super-cheap soundproofing measure. But, you can buy the real deal sound-proofing foam for cheap, and then you can affix it with multiple 3M double-sided adhesive strips, or (what I recommend) liquid nails from the hardware store. The tubes that look like toothpaste are easier to apply than the caulk gun, but the caulk gun liquid nails are much more long term. While they're drying, you'll still want to affix them into position with thumbtacks so they don't try to peel off while it's still wet and setting.

Audacity is also a fine recording software, as is Reaper (trial version, you never have to pay for it), however, audio-processing isn't the issue. It was the mic-quality in tandem with environmental noise.

Other than that, the short was funny. I'm not really a feet guy, but that's just what makes it more ridiculous to me. Keep up the good work, and lemme know if you need a voice actor for one of your skits, I'd be down to help.

The best part about this was the theme song cover.

If the cellphone is buzzing, that means HIS phone is ringing.
The ICE gag goes on for too long; the pace was fine up until his bit. And his voice wasn't great as the monster- it breaks immersion.

I'm guessing the Green Ranger was supposed to be a gag about green cards or something, but that wasn't established very well.

A lot of missed opportunities for more jokes like Zordon, Alpha, their headquarters, instead of a thoughtless "Oh, they're all Mexican, so they must ALL be in front of a Home Depot."

Why's the Abuela there? She ain't looking for manual labor jobs. Why's La Toxica there? There's not a lot of thought put into this.

Missed opportunities with Rita Repulsa, Lord Zed, Goldar. Could've been Trump parallels. Could've been White Karen parallels to balance out the racial ribbing on Mexicans.

Like most things, the story untold is often more interesting.

The Power Rangers themselves, instead of calling out their animal-themed Zords, call out stereotypical aspects of Mexicans / Mexican Americans, but the only one that could really be passible as a limb of a combiner Super Robot is the dropped truck. It would've been cool to see the vehicular lineup of each Zord riding into battle, even if they were all stereotypes of Mexicans.

Like, an El Camino
A Lowrider
A Honda Civic
A Chevy Suburban

The two biggest ones, the F-150 and Suburban form the legs. The rest of them fill out the arms and chest.

The Chancla, Modelo, and Push Mower are more like their weapons. Y'know, instead of a Sword, Bow and Arrow, Axe, Spear, it could've been a whip, one of them could've had super pointy boots, a machete, and comedically someone just has a straight-up gun. A revolver with a bandolier like Poncho Villa.

All this to say, in my unwarrented constructive criticism looking at this in the under judgments, if you're going to go with stereotypes, do it well. The humor kinda falls flat because there's not a lot of thought behind it. The red ranger wouldn't call it an "Unnecessarily dropped F-150." That mfker worked hard for that truck AND its mods, he'd deem it very necessary. Probably emphasizing why it makes it way better than other F-150's on the road. It breaks the parody and makes it seem like this was written by the 50% of you that isn't hispanic.

Hit me up if you need a voice actor, I'd like to help if I can.

I admire the feat, in bitcrunching it to such a degree, and still having the time to design your own WADS. Doom 1 and 2 are still fresh in my mind, I recently beat both titles on Ultra Violence, so I went with that in this one. Waay way different feel.

The shotgun ain't as long range as it was. The spread makes it so those shotgun guys have to go down in two shots, at least. The lack of alert sounds stands out in this- the map design early on makes it so you can loop around and sneak up on Shotgun Guys that are unaware. And they just seem to amble as they rotate around to face you, unlike the original where they just snap in your direction and start their jumble of walking towards you / attacking.

If these Shotgun Guys are facing you, as soon as they're alerted, they pop off an immaculate shot. Every time. I killed about 20 of them before I died, and I think like three of them missed? Maybe? I was taking a lot of heat. I had to be ON IT with the peakaboo shooting from around cover. And they got my health low QUICK. So it got me nervous when I'd alert a group of em and I was a shot away from death.

That's when I noticed that their movement AI is lacking. One was tucked away behind a crate, and I could see his elbow poking around the corner as he was walking into nothing, trapped by a simple obstruction.

So while these demons are crackshots, they're slow on their feet.

Ammo and health are sparse, I'd expect no less from Ultra-Violence, but this is harder than the original game. Pretty interesting spin on it, I'd like to see what you'd do with your own thing.

I love everything about this, lmfaooo

Can't wait for E1M2 gallery. Hope it gets into some native america, azteca, tarascan de michoacana art.

I guess it would be much longer game if it did the chess thing, and it didn't allow your King to put itself into check.

It's a neat spin on the game, I dig it. I love the theme and style it has to it, and it'd be cool to see more variations to this. Like, it's already unique that it's a condensed space, everyone's right up on each other in this shrunken board, but I'd like to see it go further. Like a creative spread of duplicate pieces, a creative assembly of different maps that are in weird shapes so that you have bottlenecks, chokepoints.

Or hell, even unique pieces. Like in a map this small, knights would be OP, but their absence is really noticeable. Maybe if you did really large maps, you had a variation of knights that were like winged demons or something, so instead of a knight going two out and one beside, they had an extended range like three or four out, two or three in.

Kinda like how Advanced Wars had Artillery (Knights), but they also had Rockets (this new piece).

Also sometimes the pawns get hidden behind the tall royalty pieces, so it would be beneficial to have a look around function- I know that can be kinda limiting given the retro aesthetic of this pixel art, but even if it pulled a Doom and the sprites remained camera-facing, I think it's possible for a sequel.

This is a really fucking cool atmosphere. Like an impending storm looming toward an ancient cathedral consumed by vine and pipework alike.

Touched my heart. The only time I was ever a moderator was on the General BBS, and it's gone.

I had even been curating a new thread for days to open up discussion about the military, and it's lost. When I tried to re-open the tab, all of it got autodeleted. It is a question that'll never be asked.

Hopefully this charges activity into people's review-spaces and news blogs. That traffic just finds somewhere else to be, because that's all that COULD happen. Somehow, I know this will benefit the community here. Just doesn't seem like it yet, but it will.

I love them both unconditionally. Great art, and it makes me yearn for the pool once again.

I kept forgetting this person existed, except I left a comment on her Newgrounds latest news post. And people kept angry reacting it, which made me go "wtf is going on", looked into it, and YIKES.

Deleted my comment, and now I'm staying the fuck away.

I like the short shorts and Mega Man boots you gave her. Great job!

I'm really digging the exaggerations in these poses, and this FEEL- I don't know how to explain it, the texture? It's a wonderful balance in colors and details. Right down to the spider web framing that corner and the eye being naturally drawn to the signature, opposite. Skillful work, easy follow!
